TIL the BBC has it's own TLD
As social media develops and evolves we're experimenting with a BBC Mastodon server to try decentralised and distributed social technologies.
You can now follow BBC R&D, Radio 4 and 5 Live at social.bbc
More on this and the Fediverse here: bbc.co.uk/rd/blog/2023-07-ma…

Oh the Accessibility hawks at accounts like @MathAbuse fighting Unicode 'fancy text' are gonna love this garbage.

From the archives: WIRED 4.02, Feb 1996. "Catching Kevin"

iirc this was a pretty big story at the time in the mag... I mean, was on the cover in glory days of Wired which featured another big interview and cover star: Steve Jobs.

Kevin Mitnick, a reformed hacker who was once one of the most wanted computer criminals in the U.S., died on Sunday at 59.

Legend.
A name of inspiration, igniting curiosity across ages. And of course, curiosity was the only crime.
RIP Kevin Mitnick.

Hand-drawn characters, variable type technology, and even a complimentary serif font—–our new Microsoft default font #Aptos has it all.

The Tweetdeck Beta / 2.0 now is still such a bummer. Almost all of the true power user functionality is gone, not to mention lost data in migration like columns from other accounts and ability to use them at all. :(
Some 80s #HaltAndCatchFire vibes in this: it's the GIANT, Mutiny, WestNet etc.
The NABU Network was an obscure, forgotten part of Canadian tech history—until the day the internet noticed that thousands of NABU machines were being sold on eBay at rock-bottom prices. trib.al/q968np6

Nice Kablammo behind-the-scenes making-of.

The design of those mini-sites is way oversized and unusable/wack in weird places. Whatever, I get it, Gen Z adoption vibes. But lemme say one thing: Pee-wee's Playhouse is an *80s THING*, not 90s. #typography
Introducing Kablammo! A hyperactive, doodad, maximalist variable font, inspired by the energies of Jokerman, 90s toys, Nickolodeon cartoons, and the Memphis Group.

DHH say something about Twitter still being up? Last 12 hours bunch of accounts suspended, API errors and dev dashboard malfunctioning. Jinx!
