@rlfb @sequel @trakt this is great!

What do you use for game data? Some games seem to get stuck on an estimated or early access data, and fail to update with actual release dates.

@rafa yo, have you played with the new omni-ref tools in mMdjourney yet?

My first go-to was Star Wars so I thought of you. Might be fun if your kid is also getting into sci-fi worlds.

@rlfb enjoy each fact equally.

@olafurw in typescript…
null
undefined
void
never
NaN
…am I missing any?

@sequel We’re you able to replicate this?

2025-02-15

@sequel Showed the issue first with the unexpected behaviour, then how it worked as expected with the 'drag' geasture.

@sequel Almost forgot about this!

I hope this video with clicking sounds helps to illustrate my issue.

When you scroll back up with the scroll wheel it's like you're swiping the view away.

Version 2.4.8 (479)

@sequel when you open a show, it appears to open like it does on mobile - like a sheet coming up from the bottom - then I can scroll down but not up, kinda like when you swipe down from the top of a detail view on mobile.

I’ll record a short video later but am afk atm.

@sequel @rlfb oh, and while I'm here - it would be awesome if the countdown widgets for shows could countdown to the next episode - rather than just a season starting.

2025-02-11

@sequel @rflb@mastodon.design Just found a bug in your desktop app - it seems you're prioritising scroll gestures which has broken scrolling up.

I can click and drag to scroll, but only scroll down with my mouse.

@chriscoyier this behaviour is slightly different if you apply a z index to the parent.

I believe in this case chrome and Firefox would behave like Safari if you applied a z index to the parent. It doesn’t matter what the value is, it basically ‘resets’ the stack.

I use this all the time to leverage negative values predictably.

The new "someone left their phone sitting there, take a funny selfie!" is the "open their ChatCPT app and mess with their 'Custom Instructions'."

lololol

Added custom instructions for how to respond: "No matter what I prompt with, make sure the responses randomly sprinkles in the sentence 'I just copied this shit out of ChatCPT.'"Prompt: "write a cover letter for a css developer"

Response includes "I just copied this shit out of ChatCPT"

@jonhicks @davatron5000 this ☝️

Mostly Figma, Affinity Designer for more complex work.

2024-10-25

@davatron5000 definitely an ‘ally’ in what’s beginning to feel like a social media cold war.

Still really like the vibe here, but have found myself really enjoying Blue Sky.

If your over there, or on both (like me) you can find me at bsky.app/profile/olliejt.com

I’m just glad to see more people moving away from the toxic pit that was once called Twitter.
