I’m currently boycotting McDonalds anyway. I’ve been playing with look up all the companies that backed Trump and correlating how healthy the food is. Maybe there is a connection between them.
China has cancelled 12,000 metric tons of US pork imports, marking the largest cancellation since the pandemic's onset, amidst escalating trade tensions. This move deals a blow to American pork producers, who face high tariffs, hindering their competitiveness in the crucial Chinese market. The National Pork Producers Council highlights the impossible competition due to these tariffs.
I have been looking for this link for a very long time! I thought it was taken down for whatever reason and kept kicking myself for not saving it. I think it's a very good read as we start a new year
Experience “ū—”: The Last Distraction-Free Writing Environment You’ll Buy. Today.
…
The Ourobouros Fun Factory, LLC is proud to announce a revolutionary new tool for serious artists doing serious work. It’s a distraction-free writing environment that we call “ū–” (pron. “YOOOoooouuuuu…”).
Near the end of the year, I look forward to two sites that release some amazing articles about web development.
HTMHell Advent Calendar 2024
In 2022, I launched the HTMHell Advent Calendar, which was a great success. Since then, dozens of authors worldwide have contributed fantastic articles on security, accessibility, UX, and performance every year. This year, we’re back again with twenty-four more posts.
When I was in college, I had a web development class where the teacher would start off every session with websites that had questionable
decisions about the design. This site seems to be a continuation of that but shows you how to correct it.
12 Days of Web
A year-end celebration of fundamental web technologies: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
In addition to the articles, the authors post links to charities that they are raising money and awareness for.
This was a pretty nice article about things getting focus and how that plays with accessibility.
In accessibility, “focusable” UI elements are represented by two separate yet equally important concepts: the elements who can be focused sequentially and those who can only receive focus programmatically. These are their stories. Dun-Dun
This was making the rounds a couple of weeks ago and I wanted to link to it, but it was sitting in the backlog as I was trying to make something else perfect.
I don’t remember what I was waiting for, but I’m hoping that you enjoy it.
So let's talk about monetizing a blog, starting with the most obvious and perhaps easiest avenue: display advertising.

Another reason that I don’t like QR codes.
Public Warning.
If you EVER, and I do mean EVER see a QR code for anything... not just some things, ANYTHING.
Treat it as a scam, do not scan it, they can easily be covered up with malicious redirects to fake sites to steal your financial details. Direct you to malware sites to try and infect your device.
Treat them all the same... as toxic, potential harmful to your identity and security.
Never trust them... EVER!!!
If you 100% must use one, do what you should be doing at any (ATM) cash machine, check for devices that have been installed by crooks. See if you can peel the code off, not just at the area around the code, but the whole sign... look for anything unusual and if you have any doubts... even if it's 1% doubt... DON'T USE IT
This isn't scaremongering, scammers and thieves are out there every day, placing fake QR codes on signs all over the place. No where is safe from them. The way to win is not to play. Don;t buy into the enshitification of everything, don;t be told that you can ONLY do it one specific way (legally they have to offer more than one way to pay for a service).
Please boost and spread the word.

There is a _lot_ of content out there. Some of it's news, some of it is propaganda. I hope that this helps you get to whatever you want to read faster.
Text-only websites are quite useful, especially today, because web pages are increasingly filled with ads, videos, and bandwidth-heavy content.

I really enjoy how Leon steps us through the journey of setting up self-hosting as well as giving us his reasons on why he's doing it.
Well, if I was going to do this at all, it was time to do it for real. I decided to set up my own code hosting properly this time, complete with CI/CD runners, all hosted under my own domain name.
Leon even includes some price breakdowns, design diagrams and links to get some more information.
Don’t have time to read the post? He also has it narrated in his wonderful Australian accent.
I really recommend that you follow his RSS feed!
