Last Notes npub10ay6qnuea6jd3y4936zqgkw5j5zhwz2fqc4skz72u8h3fcyvpmmsu44xf7 Matt Round @npub19lt…qfjk Yeah I'll bet if you compare size of image vs a manual screenshot it'll be way off, something’s changing scaling. Hacky workaround: zoom the page to 200% and grab bigger area npub10ay6qnuea6jd3y4936zqgkw5j5zhwz2fqc4skz72u8h3fcyvpmmsu44xf7 Matt Round @npub19lt…qfjk Hmm looks like a normal non-'retina' screenshot, does adding --force-device-scale-factor=2 change anything? npub10ay6qnuea6jd3y4936zqgkw5j5zhwz2fqc4skz72u8h3fcyvpmmsu44xf7 Matt Round 'Modern' web dev is far too laidback about using third-party CDNs and vast wobbly towers of dependencies https://sansec.io/research/polyfill-supply-chain-attack npub10ay6qnuea6jd3y4936zqgkw5j5zhwz2fqc4skz72u8h3fcyvpmmsu44xf7 Matt Round Flawless throwing technique, maximum fash splash npub10ay6qnuea6jd3y4936zqgkw5j5zhwz2fqc4skz72u8h3fcyvpmmsu44xf7 Matt Round Splash The Fash (game I coded for The Overtake with graphics by Mushybees) is topical again & runs OK via Wayback Machine (close top bar to see score) https://web.archive.org/web/20210601180858/https://theovertake.com/stuff/splash-the-fash/ npub10ay6qnuea6jd3y4936zqgkw5j5zhwz2fqc4skz72u8h3fcyvpmmsu44xf7 Matt Round @npub19lt…qfjk Can you imagine what the inner workings must be like, probably only eBay contains more Lovecraftian coding horrors npub10ay6qnuea6jd3y4936zqgkw5j5zhwz2fqc4skz72u8h3fcyvpmmsu44xf7 Matt Round @npub13vv…0sze Is anyone else doing that Internet Buttons stuff? Such a simple but useful idea npub10ay6qnuea6jd3y4936zqgkw5j5zhwz2fqc4skz72u8h3fcyvpmmsu44xf7 Matt Round What would be the funniest animal to have in a game as a dynamite-wielding demolition expert? I'm thinking raccoons & geese are already taken npub10ay6qnuea6jd3y4936zqgkw5j5zhwz2fqc4skz72u8h3fcyvpmmsu44xf7 Matt Round @npub19lt…qfjk I'm guessing they're testing to see if that then shows up on a public site, without the risk of getting the actual spam domains banned..? npub10ay6qnuea6jd3y4936zqgkw5j5zhwz2fqc4skz72u8h3fcyvpmmsu44xf7 Matt Round Unless I'm misreading the pricing info, you can print & send a physical letter or postcard to anywhere in the world from an online service for 86p (VAT exempt), much cheaper than I expected.

Always feels like 90% of working with WP is struggling to override/deactivate default behaviour npub10ay6qnuea6jd3y4936zqgkw5j5zhwz2fqc4skz72u8h3fcyvpmmsu44xf7 Matt Round @npub19lt…qfjk "Mart Rotund” npub10ay6qnuea6jd3y4936zqgkw5j5zhwz2fqc4skz72u8h3fcyvpmmsu44xf7 Matt Round @npub1qrt…acaq Without looking I'm going to guess there are half a dozen copies or more of this in the quotes & replies npub10ay6qnuea6jd3y4936zqgkw5j5zhwz2fqc4skz72u8h3fcyvpmmsu44xf7 Matt Round @npub19lt…qfjk Mini bench to put on your desk?
