Introducing DuckDuckGo for Mac: A Private, Fast, and Secure Browsing App. IIUC, ⁦@DuckDuckGo⁩ is going the iOS way of browser programming by building a `WKWebView`-based browser, but for macOS. Curious to see if on Windows it’ll use Edge `WebView2`.

@argyleink So many forms get this wrong and shout at the user when they’re still busy entering their data. I really dislike this in Google Forms’ grids.

@JohnMu Yepp, DCF77, but of course it’s still off by 1h 😂. Not sure if it’s the software or the hardware. It’s kind of paradox to have atomic clock accuracy when the clock shows the time in five minute steps. I might choose hand cutting, I’ve n

I’m building a word clock based on an Arduino Nano and a NeoPixel strip, and whilst it’s not the best soldering 💨‍🏭 job I’ve done, I’m incredibly proud that it works at all. Still lots of work to do, like cutting the letters and a cardboarpic.twitter.com/UiOcjv1kZQ

@Lance_I_ @ericwbailey I came here to say this. It should just be a built-in accessibility feature. Or actually, not even be tied to accessibility: Ever tried using a phone in a bike mount? I get it needs “wobble” room, so probably makes most sense on

@alexanderdanilo @mozhacks @webkit @behdadesfahbod Interesting background. @abrax5 probably can add more from his view. COLRv1 also seems to be somewhat dependent on (the way) Skia (does things).

I can’t judge the technical accuracy of the claims, but it’s interesting to read the two assessments:
@mozhacks: “more compact and lightweight than OT-SVG” https://t.co/uRh0tq4NAg
