It's a travesty how much "Freedom" Scientific charges for a developer JAWS licence

Funny how it suggests using the long-abandoned and recently deprecated create-react-app. Why not vibe code your app built on tech debt from day one!

This is maybe specific to the model, but my previous phone (Xperia 10 V) had its sensor on the power button and I'd always unintentionally unlock it immediately after locking it and putting it back in my pocket

John Berger's Ways of Seeing, I think it's all on youtube. There's also a book adaptation though I've not read that

Yeah, it didn't suprise me that the only woman in all the demos was coming to interupt the BUSY dev and his Important Work. I was surprised that this is made by Flipper, though!

Le Corbusier did, Goldfinger did, Neave Brown did. Have you seen the price of flats in the Barbican? Just because you don't like them aesthetically doesn't mean no-one does.
