Apparently Google will not let you block X from your discovery feed. You can only block individual accounts. Support forums are full of folks asking how to block all of X from showing up in Discovery. Time to turn off discovery completely.

Tried to make Panettone but ended up with Volcanotonne. Apart from the shape, it came out well. 50% whole wheat and used my own strain of yeast extracted from the skin of a mango. The overflow was due to excessively deep scoring.

Currently reading "In Defense of Food" by Michael Pollan. It talks about the issues with food industrialization and de-localization. I know many of you will enjoy it and learn from it.

The only problem I have with Google's personal information in search results alerts is that the majority of my alerts are for my email address showing up in man pages and source code comments in every major linux distro over the last 20 years. It's a good service otherwise.

6 years ago I started a side project to build a web accessibility tool that prioritises simple reporting and quick feedback loops so that teams can fix a11y regressions before they affect users.
I am so proud to say that side project is now finished, and A11y Pulse is live.

Duolingo keeps getting worse. They've now made it impossible to get out of the ads. You're forced to actually download something from an ad or you have to force quit duolingo and lose any progress.

Sara doesn't just tell you when something isn't done right, she also shows you how to fix it.
The alternative, if you don't want to keep the same images in both light and dark mode, can be to use feature queries in the element and render the image suitable for each mode. codepen.io/SaraSoueidan...
