These smoking cubicles in airports are so stinking, great design to encourage not to smoke. Feel like a zoo animal. Not that it stops me... god I'm so weak willed

Starting to get into the whole 360 video streaming caper, last nights immersive tech ni meet up, sounds rubbish at the start but had the mic facing the audience... rookie! https://youtu.be/1S025juu-n0
Do people really drink this cold brew coffee shit because they enjoy it? Love my black coffee but this... pure evil!

(Like I said, I don't know where I'm going with this line of thought.)
Current notions of democratization of the Web are focused around how to equalize and liberalize access to privatized resources (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) or how to make alternatives to those resources (Gnu Social/Mastodon). But that's all about the complications imposed on users due to subscribing to specific tools.
Democratizing the building of the web now is probably impossible. The sites have become The Hard Problem.
Not a cloud! A rarity in Belfast, happy Friday!

If you ever code something that "feels like a hack but it works", just remember that a CPU is literally a rock that we tricked into tinking.

Some #typography #trivia as follow-up to yesterday's post of found #Lithography stones from the America satirical magazine Puck.
Did you know in 1881, they introduced what are now considered the earliest known #emoticons in the English language?

OK Westminster, cut funding for education by 2.5% in the most deprived area of the UK - makes sense! #northernireland
There's an xkcd strip for every occassion. Today - scaling images.grrrrrr.
Haven't had a car in years and circumstances mean I need to bite the bullet. Up to 3k to spend, any recommendations for a good runaround that will be as enviro friendly as poss? Thinking C1 or Aygo atm.
#America, it's great you love visiting Belfast as tourists. I do find it funny though how many want to find out about our awful "troubles" which killed 3,600 people over 30 years.
Your own "troubles" have killed more than that in 4 months!
Little old Belfast is a haven of peace, love and understanding compared to the troubles you guys face.
