Little @codepen demo: single `img` squircles + grainy inset shadow https://codepen.io/thebabydino/pen/LEGEwdp
(for `img`, the actual image is content & gets painted on top of shadows; the earlier workaround has been a sibling/ parent's pseudo used as a "cover" that gets the shadow; none of it here 
)

According to MDN, Safari supports hue interpolation method.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/hue-interpolation-method
Does it really? Or why doesn't it work for me when I test via Epiphany?
If you can test in actual Safari, please let me know if the MDN examples work for you. If you can't, boosts welcome.
Thanks!
Once again blocked from using a website I've used regularly for years because of "unusual activity" from "your IP". After passing a captcha, no less.
Somehow bot-detecting algorithms have been degrading over time.
This is a troubling trend because people who aren't using the anointed access points of the internet struggle more and more to connect and interact. Large entities like CloudFlare choke off more and more avenues of access in the name of "security", enforcing digital checkpoints without any accountability to anyone.

The AI coding trap
If you ever watch someone “coding”, you might see them spending far more time staring into space than typing on their keyboard. No, they (probably) aren’t slacking off. Software development is fundamentally a practice of problem-solving, and so, as with solving a tricky crossword, most of the work is done in your head. […]

Hello again mastodon 
Unfortunately I have to recreate from scratch my instance (still have a lot to learn in self hosting) but I’m back.
iOS app developer I like tech, reading and photography (still very amateur though).
Looking forward to share with the community and taking on new challenges!
Re-bonjour Mastodon
Instance recréée de 0 malheureusement (encore beaucoup de chose à apprendre en gestion de serveur), mais je suis de retour.
Développeur d’application iOS j’aime la tech en général, lire et la photo (très amateur pour le moment).
Hâte d'échanger avec la communauté et de me lancer dans de nouveaux défis !

What's the simplest thing that could possibly work?
First we need to define what it means for a solution to "possibly work".
If current-generation LLM-based chatbots can drive people to commit crimes or even take their own lives, what do you suppose Neuralink would do to people?
The first thing I said to the person who suggested to me that human brains might be directly hooked to a computer, whenever that was, was "everyone will go insane immediately". I still believe that, but now we're beginning to see evidence.
