🚔 PSA: "The Darkside Detective" point-and-click adventure is currently free on Epic. Takes me back to the good old days of Zak McKracken and ManiacMansion. Witty, without being too on the nose. https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/the-darkside-detective-ios-f97bd7 #pixelart #indiegames

AI slop sucks.
So in SocialSox v0.3.0 I added AI that actually stays in its lane: spellcheck, shorten (basically a crop tool for text), and hashtag suggestions, nothing that drowns your voice.
Your words, just… less messy.

TIL: dark mode styling support for textarea resize handlers in most (all?) browsers is basically non-existent. The only reliable way of doing this AFAIK: turn off resize altogether and wire up frankenstein JS to re-enable resizing with custom click handler. #weirdweb #darkdesign #html

Spent 3 hours debugging a completely dead WordPress site.
Checked every plugin, dug through 1200 lines of ancient functions.php…
Turns out the site was dead because someone had disabled the emojis.
Removing emoji support completely tanked it.
I’m done with this timeline. 😭💀 #WordPress #WebDev

I mean, seriously, Medium.
Was a sidebar ad or one polite banner at the end really not enough?
No, you had to literally inject the ad straight into the middle of my article like a tumor. And of course Adblock doesn’t catch it because of your obfuscated DOM wizardry.
