On August 19, 2011, Web developers Mark Otto and Jacob Thornton of Twitter began creating the CSS framework Bootstrap in mid-2011. The framework was originally developed to help maintain the HTML/CSS and JavaScript code consistency in Twitter applications.

With our current voting system, it's difficult to effectively pick between different strains of Democrat. And it'd be better if third parties to be viable. Corporate candidates often block progress. #ProportionalRepresentation
Insiders from both parties said the supermajority that Democrats have held since 2012 was never really in jeopardy, despite 36 of 120 lawmakers in the Senate and Assembly leaving office due to term limits or other reasons cal.news/3YSgkaL

Periodic reminder: Chromium-based browsers still are very vulnerable to abuse of the FullScreen and Keyboard Lock APIs.
Educate friends & family to HOLD the Escape key down to escape such attacks.
(Firefox, doesn't have the KeyboardLock API).

If you too are irked at having to click the "security key" option Every Single Time when logging into a secure 2FA website on Windows, then consider upvoting aka.ms/AAnkd7e
Clearly Windows' revised 2FA login prompt wasn't adequately dogfooded with security key users...

Our new issue, WE NEED MORE PARTIES, traces the root of our democratic dysfunction to our two-party system.

The European Citizens' Initiative has launched! This is the biggest and most ambitious chance to create law on publishers destroying videogames they have already have sold to you. Get EU citizens to sign it!

Most of Capcoms shareholder reports are online and easy to view and they provide amazing insight into how you have to essentially baby shareholders into not ruining your products.
I keep thinking about this Capcom stockholder who wonders why the company doesn't just release its next big game earlier, so it can be sold to more people and generate more money
To any game creators among my followers, how did you not think of doing this??
ALT Q Wouldn’t you be able to capture more profit by bumping up the release date of the next Monster Hunter title, currently scheduled for 2025, to the December 2024 holiday season? A We plan to announce the release timing for the latest Monster Hunter title once preparations are complete. We hope you are looking forward to it. We remain committed to achieving our goal of 10% or better operating profit growth each fiscal year.

Call us crazy, but it's almost like countries that use #ProportionalRepresentation perform better than those using winner-take-all elections.
Makes ya think...
