Delighted: I’m finishing up an experimental @eleventy plugin for @font.awesome icons that uses per-page tree-shook (tree-shaken? tree-darmok-and-jalad-at-tanagra) SVG sprite-sheets (with zero CSS or JS)

Friends of Slack, a couple desktop-client things:

1. Huddles should prevent the screen saver — I am talking on the computer.

2. Defaulting to “Automatically leave huddles” when the screen saver starts (when paired with above) is a very bad software default

(please fix one of the above, thx)

is… is this where we’re at now?

instead of a hyperlink to the app store (which was already not particularly web-friendly) we’re obfuscating links as smartphone-first QR-codes?

Found some unnecessary twitter metadata still sitting around on my web site and it’s always a good time to delete code (especially now).

Might be worth checking your web sites to see if you can delete it too?

I’ve been to far too many family funerals in the past couple of years.

When my time is up (far, far from now) I hope that whoever speaks offers the listeners a message of acceptance and peace — not one of fire and brimstone, not one of conditional love through unconditional allegiance.

Take care of each other, y’all ❤️

A few Eleventy build server image optimization tests for the project I’m currently working on (×1088 images):

formats: webp, auto =>

❄️ cold cache: 4m 33s

🔥 warm cache: 36s

formats: avif, webp, auto =>

❄️ cold cache: 11m 32s

🔥 warm cache: 38s

Do y’all think the AVIF build cost is worth it if the build server cache is ~always warm?

In the past month my kids and I have played (on all the original never-repaired hardware):

1️⃣ 30+ year old Super Nintendo

2️⃣ 15+ year old Wii

3️⃣ 5+ year old Switch

Nintendo is an incredibly special company — looking forward to the next iteration.
