They took some random sans serif typeface and hit the S with an ugly-stick? Also there's something off about the splines at the point where it curves down towards the bottom. Looks sloppy.

lol. lmao, even.
It me too đ
Leftover chicken, corn, cilantro and chipotle in the filling. And just enough oil in the pan to slightly crisp the tortilla without making it oily. Guacamole and pico de gallo for dipping them in. Damn, now I'm hungry đ
I'd open a quesadilla food truck đ Love to cook and talk to people, and my quesadillas are awesome. Could do some Italian-style grilled sandwiches too.
I constantly misspell filter as fitler - I can only imagine who Claude thinks I am
Same. Hmm, I wonder if people who work with digital a11y are, on average, extra aware and meticulous about semantics (which I think punctuation counts as) and language in general, than most? #comeswiththeterritory
Been there.

Uuhh, ajatelkaa mitÀ synergiaetuja tuosta yhdistelmÀstÀ syntyisi. Dynaamisia vaikutuksia!
There are actually many awesome Finnish apps that the rest of the world could take some cues from. Another personal favorite is OP (one of the major banks here). I almost enjoy paying my bills with this thing đ
play.google.com/store/apps/d... in the Android app store, in case someone wants to check it out (and maybe get inspired to come train traveling in Finland đ) (The train service itself works pretty darn well here too)
I absolutely LOVE the VR (Finnish national railway company) app. It's an unusually bright beacon of modern, awesome looking, easy to use, and genuinely fun UI design.
Dying to hear what score you gave
Well, I'm sure they trust his expertise in international relations given his long experience in... ...uh, real estate law and investment đ

Wait. I am thinking of the Ghost of Keyframes Past, or AI?
Can confirm. But it's actually useful for those of us who rarely work with animations and need a small refresher whenever we need to do some easing. It's too bad the implementation details they give you are so outdated and unreliable...

I agree, but at the same time I'm thinking that it might actually be better than nothing. Telling an LLM about your problems and feelings at least means you're verbalizing them, which is probably more than a lot of people (men especially) would do otherwise. And that's a good first step.
Honestly I don't understand how you do this.
Oof, that's grim. But yeah.
I have no idea what's going on, but I'm about 4 screens down this rabbit hole and it just keeps giving. Might as well click Follow as I'm already drinking from this firehose anyway.

If I Must Starve A poem by Nour Abdel Latif July 22, 2025 - Gaza If I must starve, let it be with dignity in my childrenâs eyes, not with my hands tied by silence. Let the world witness that I did not bow to the hunger but stood, even as the sky emptied and the earth closed her mouth. (1/2)
Thanks, @rene-wilby.de đ I feel that I persevered in the face of an insurmountable UX challenge. I think next time in Berlin I'm going to record the experience as it unfolds...
I have now paid, from my own Google Pay account, âŹ10,60, for a 24 hour ticket that I will use for a single journey to the airport. I actually have no idea if this is a valid ticket for the S-Bahn, but I'm pretty far past caring at this point. At least I tried. /fin
The S45 is rolling in to the station now. I decide to do a last second hail mary : I tap back, then select 24-Stunden-Karte because in this household we do NOT LOCALIZE the most important strings in the app. I quickly select BC, Adult fare, valid from Now, tap purchase, and... 13/
I'm finally at the finish line! I tap the Purchase Ticket Now button at the bottom and... I get a form validation error: missing field. I double and triple check. THERE ARE NO OTHER FIELDS. I tap each field to make sure they indeed have values. They do. 12/
The S45 will arrive any fucking second now, so I pick BC. Then I check the options for the Regeltarif selection field (because again why the fuck would you localize field labels?), but leave it at the default adult fare. The last field is Valid From, set to Now, and readonly. Sure, ok... 11/
There is, however, a helpful little text below the BC option that says it includes, and I quote: "BER airport (Schönefeld)" Schönefeld was one of the old airports of Berlin. It has been closed since 2020. So I have no idea if zone BC includes the new airport I'm heading to. 11/
Speaking of zones, the next field is for selecting the zone. I'm not at all familiar with Berlin fare zones, so I'm relieved to see there's a map! Unfortunately, the map is an unzoomable image approximately 4cm wide on my screen. A thumbnail. None of labels on it are even remotely legible. 10/
Because I have clearly time traveled to 1854, the app can't seem to fill in my departure location based on, you know, my actual location. So I tapety-tap S, Ă, D, K, R and select the station. (I'm not sure why the point of departure is even relevant, as I'm buying a zone fare, but whatevs...) 9/
So I go back to the fare purchase view, select Einzelfarhausweis because sure, why the fuck would you localize THAT part of the app to English? Luckily I read German pretty well so I actually know what the options are. So I start to fill in the form to buy a single fare ticket... 8/
Instead, I get a form to fill in my address, because of course. All this has taken so much time that the 30ish minutes are almost up, the train arrives any minute, so I decide I don't have time to fill in my fucking address and just use the Google Pay option, which amazingly is preconfigured. 7/
...And go through the usual dance of registering an account, confirming my email, sacrificing my firstborn son, etc, etc. Next, I want to add my company credit card as a payment option. I tap the Add button and expect to be able to scan the card with the camera, because, look, it's 2025... /6
I give up on the Red Slow Death and stare desperately on the route listing in Google Maps. Then I notice a Purchase Fare (or some such) icon next to the S45, so I tap that, which takes me to the BVG app in the app store. Hmm, different transit system, but maybe that works too? I install... /5
...only to end up at the same list of unselectable trains. All of this takes an absolute eternity, because the machine is mindbogglingly slow. It registers taps with the speed of a glacier and the accuracy of a wet sponge. It loads screens as if through a 9.6kbit dial-up modem in 1993. /4
There is an arrow button next to it, but tapping that just opens a useless info dialog. So I go back to the initial listing, and confirm that they ARE selectable. Alas, the S45 is still not amongst them. I end up in some longer wizard type flow and tap through each step... /3
I want to buy a ticket for that train, so I go to the VBB ticket machine (a.k.a. The Red Slow Death). The machine only lists the next 3 departing trains as options, none of which are the S45. So I tap Other Routes or whatever to see more, and there is my S45. But it cannot be selected! 2/
I feel like I need to rant about the 10th circle of hell, i.e. #Berlin public transport ticket vending machines (Yes, this is about you, #VBB #BVG) This Wednesday, I was at SĂŒdkreutz station on my way to the airport. I knew there was an S-Bahn train (S45) going straight there in about 30 minutes 1/
Oh yeah, hadn't even thought about it that way, just that the resulting de-glutenified pizza would be quite a mess structurally.
I like to use cooking analogies, e.g. imagine saying "we'll make the pizza gluten free later". It's theoretically possible you just have to carefully detach the toppings, cheese and tomato sauce from the crust, and move them onto a new gluten-free crust. But it's a LOT more effort.
Actually, EU directive 2024/1098 requires all jokes that mention health care services to end with a reminder of the superiority of public health care systems. E.g. "But doctor, I AM Pagliacci!" "Ah well, but at least we are in Europe, so I won't charge you an exorbitant fee for my useless advice."
(Joking, of course, since it's ARIA they seem to have trouble with, not WCAG...)
Maybe they can make them easy enough that even screen reader developers understand them!
"Palestiinan tunnustaminen olisi vain symbolinen teko!" Niinno, vuosina 1918-1919 erÀs tuore valtio nimeltÀ Suomi lÀhetti valtuuskuntia ympÀri maailmaa kirittÀmÀÀn Suomen itsenÀisyyden tunnustamista. JÀnnÀsti tuohon aikaan samoilla symbolisilla teoilla oli meille aika suuri merkitys.
"thank you for driving a hard bargain against the EU by not unilaterally imposing tariffs on stuff we need" Yup.

Ok so this is one of the best ever. Depressing, all too accurate, and made me go giggley-snort.
Well, yeah, but I once took a poop in a toilet in Spain with a timer so short I basically had to wave my arms around constantly to avoid pitch black darkness. I bet there was a night vision webcam in there with a massive audience. I hope I didn't disappoint them with my choreography.
Just popped in to say I've really been enjoying the podcast so far!
Wait, that's kind a good idea actually. For people with asymmetric hearing deficiency.
Since 2022, Israel has killed more *children* than Russia has killed Ukrainian civilians in total. And Russia is definitely trying its very best. Note also Ukraineâs practically complete lack of warcriming. But yeah, tell me more about how Israel is âfighting for its existence.â
Proves the point that fascism doesn't just appear out of nowhere.
And of course they had to be: it's not like they could have replaced huge swaths of reasonable people with fascists this quickly. If they hadn't been already there, it would have been difficult for the regime to enforce its fascist agenda from day 1.
Stories like this really reveal that many US institutions â not just ICE, CBP, etc â were already full of fascist assholes, and the Trump regime just gave them free reign (& encouragement) to act out their fascist assholeness. Which of course is no surprise to anyone who's studied fascist regimes.
Spot on.
Well, most novels from the 1800s are like that though: Copious digressions and endless (and pointless) lists of stuff. Eco satirizes this excruciatingly well in The Cemetery in Prague.
We've been pondering this, and currently going with the latter: making sure they can either be wrapped into links or have links slotted into them as content. But as always there are exceptions to the rule - cases where something more complicated is needed (e.g for decent a11y), a dedicated feature
Glad to hear I'm not alone with that. And it frustrates me immensely when someone suggests using AI to speed it up, because I NEED to obsess over each word, it's an integral part of my process for figuring out what I want to say.

Fuck yes. Meant to make a fruit salad the other day but instead ended up just straight up devouring three peaches in a row, slobbering all over the sink. Felt kinda dirty afterwards. As did the sink. But je ne regrette rien.
As I came back from the local Pride parade a few hours ago, I was reminded of the Where's Waldo / Tom of Finland crossover that @jojalonen.bsky.social and @vsaarenketo.bsky.social found in a deck of Children's Crusade Against Communism trading cards from the 1950s
It's probably just ICE making a list of left-handed people to round up next year...
Ahh, hoarfrost. Crisp and promiscuous.
I have a theory about this. Large Engine Vehicle sounds like a category of goods that some countries impose higher tariffs on to curb emissions. I'm guessing Vietnam did. US SUVs tend to have big thirsty engines (compared to Asian SUVs), thus fall into the LEV category. So Trump now thinks SUV=LEV.
THIS. So so much. It makes me feel sad and old.

I will only stop using em-dashes when you pry them from my cold, dead, 6-fingered hands.
(as for usability, we use them in our design system documentation, like tabs, for showing code snippets in different languages, so they're short, and users typically want to see only one of them)
Well, you would expect to be able to traverse the matches of the search one by one, so that the details open one by one, but it's not like that: all details but the last one become inaccessible to the search results navigation. Chrome and Safari instead open details only for the current match.

Gotta keep those silo walls high and thick...
Unfortunately we just noticed that FF's Find-in-page doesn't work with using the name attribute to make them mutually exclusive if there is a match in multiple in the same name group. It tries to open all of them simultaneously, then closes all but the last match..đ
Why not 90 days as usual?
Seems obvious to me that Trump will attack Iran (and maybe topple the regime causing an Iraq-style power vacuum and inevitable chaos for years) so that he can brag about accomplishing something, now that he's realized that he's not, in fact, even remotely capable of ending the Russia-Ukraine war.
Or to a ball game
Now now, let's not mock him for not remembering the term "radar". He was probably referring to the Australian childrens tv series Sky Trackers from 1995 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sky_Tra...
I'm glad he clarified the "take him out" part, otherwise I would have thought he meant "take him out for dinner and maybe a few drinks"
This is what radicalized me.

I first read this as "Fuhrer purges US security services", then re-read it and realized I got it wrong, then thought about it for a few seconds and realized that was actually accurate.
