    I really need to stop testing out different code editors when the one I&#39;m using already (VSCodium) is setup perfectly and I have zero problems with it 🤦 Just back from trying Gram - its a Zed fork with a cute toad mascot: https://gram-editor.com/

    Every morning I step outside is a chance to see something cool, like today! Good morning from this amazing multi-coloured pal. 🪿 European Bee-eater, https://ebird.org/species/eubeat1 Not just bees, caught this one snacking on a wasp. They sound really cool too! Wish I had recorded it. It&#39;s my first sighting of such a bird so I&#39;m real excited ☺️ #Birds #Photography

    Thankfully the weather is cooling down a bit tonight! - Even the birds seem to be more abundant. I always struggle to ID these crows though, at least beyond the genus level. 📷️️️️️️️ Sony A6700 🔭 TTArtisan 500mm F6.3 🎛️ 1/320, F8, ISO 1250 🎨 darktable 🪿 Crows, https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/7998-Corvus 🪿 House Sparrow, https://ebird.org/species/houspa #Birds #Photography

    Reckon this is too much? 🤔 *looks at my feed at pals getting replaced by it, fired for not using it, environmental damage, rampant scams, pointless &amp; careless crappy output, etc etc* Nah.

    Migrated all my projects from GitHub to a PikaPods hosted Forgejo 🥳 such a pleasant experience it was! Now I just want to find an alternative to GitHub Desktop. Sublime Merge looking nice, Fork too 👀

    Getting my ass saved with quality articles like this. I’ve come back to this one a few times now; it always helps me navigate adding a table onto the page. https://piccalil.li/blog/styling-tables-the-modern-css-way/ By Michelle Barker for @piccalilli

    Went and touched grass in Évora yesterday, with a lil stretch of walking along an Ecopista 🥾 Ecopistas are cool because they&amp;#39;re made using decommissioned railway lines, and are developed to accommodate cyclists and walkers :) Being old railway lines, the paths are looooong, but flat. I didn&amp;#39;t respect the sun properly though... so caught a bit of sunburn 🌞 #Portugal

    Agonizing over the page meta (dates, tags, last edit, word count, etc) and just _how_ to display it 😩 Icons? Just words? less? more? - - - Just text example: Posted under the &amp;lt;a&amp;gt;adventures&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; category.

    Doing away with an &amp;quot;Estimated time to read&amp;quot;. I don&amp;#39;t know you, nor should I make such judgements. Might keep a word count though, even though it&amp;#39;s not a metric I myself use/check when reading posts.

    For some reason hundreds (thousands?) of ants decided to take the palm tree seeds from a felled tree in our garden, and are transporting them in a line into the field next door. Not just palm tree seeds, all sorts. Look at these industrious lil fuckers go 💪 #Ants #Insects

    Day 1 of practicing with a lens I currently dislike to see if I can learn to tolerate it, and also practice some bird photography while I&amp;#39;m at it. 📷️ Sony A6700 🔭 TTArtisan 500mm F6.3 Two house sparrows ☺️ #Birds #Photography

    Trying to learn/understand the camera settings a bit more. There was a Cattle Egret earlier but as soon as I got close it flew off, and I had no chance doing this handheld. So another house sparrow it is! 📷️ Sony A6700 🔭 TTArtisan 500mm F6.3 ⚙️ 1/2000, F16ish, Auto ISO (6400) #Photography #Birds

    Solo/freelance folks that don&amp;#39;t need public repos, if you&amp;#39;re not using GitHub, what are you using? Asking because I want to start moving my eggs outta that basket. I&amp;#39;ve been considering Gitea (maybe hosted via a PikaPod?)

    CSS pals 💜 Anyone pulled off something like this before? Perhaps you&amp;#39;ve seen it on a site in the wild or experimented yourself. Please help 🙏 A responsive CSS grid (size doesn&amp;#39;t matter) with visible grid lines that go beyond the contents/grid-cells So far I&amp;#39;ve tried pseudo ::after/::before, linear-repeating backgrounds, and I&amp;#39;m currently trying to make it work with a duplicate grid overlayed on top... EDIT: @chriskirknielsen cracked it! 🤩 https://front-end.s...

    Hello / Hej / Olá 👋 Just made to move to front-end.social! 🥳 (Thanks @ben ) I love #HTML, #CSS, and #JavaScript, 11ty is my fav SSG, and I&amp;#39;ve recently been enjoying Vite for little experiments and SPA projects. Currently working on a lil weekly planner and kanban system. I also love nature, board games, and a bunch of other stuff I&amp;#39;ll probably share from time to time. Until I have a personal website to share (it&amp;#39;s currently WIP...), here is a random CodePen I like: ht...
