@SoVeryBritish ... a bear shitting in the woods?

@KevinJPowell I didn't realise I wasn't following you over there yet. Fixed it!

@juxtopposed This made me laugh for a solid minute. It's so stupid. I love it

@jones06022825 @BungleGoat @TychoBrahe In South Africa, we called them stiffy disks or stiffies.

@orask If you ever have the opportunity, I highly recommend checking out Google Earth in VR. Seeing everything at scale, it's almost like being there.

@holman Reported. I'm in this tweet and I don't like it.

[Rob Meijer @robmeijerdev]

@ShawnMcCool Oh wow, I distinctly remember this article and how super controversial it was at the time. Can't believe it's been 12 years.

[Rob Meijer @robmeijerdev]

@elibelly I don't think it's just you. At least on the web client, they are also now capitalizing the Online status.

@SoVeryBritish Walkie-talkie

[Rob Meijer @robmeijerdev]

@afilina I made the way from table layouts to floats to flexbox, and yeah I fully agree. There's never been a better time to learn HTML and CSS. I like writing code that makes semantic sense, and not having to constantly try and trick various browsers to display things how I want.

[Rob Meijer @robmeijerdev]

@ShawnMcCool I only played the demo, and it was good fun. The story and characters feel mostly forgettable, but I'm a fan of Metroidvanias, and the combat is decent too.

@weaverryan That's weird, I was certain I tried it without and it didn't work. But glad it's working now

[Rob Meijer @robmeijerdev]

@weaverryan What this means is that you no longer need to apply the "blur-sm" class in your JS file. The dialog::backdrop will just always have it.

[Rob Meijer @robmeijerdev]

@weaverryan Got it working. To use Tailwind, apply it in your CSS using the @ apply directive and targeting the ::backdrop pseudo-element.

Also update your component and use "backdrop:bg-opacity-80" instead of "backdrop:opacity-80".

[Rob Meijer @robmeijerdev]

@weaverryan I'll have a play with it and see what I can figure out!

[Rob Meijer @robmeijerdev]

@weaverryan FYI I was able to apply the blur by targeting the ::backdrop pseudo element and styling it with "backdrop-filter: blur(3px)". The result is pretty much the same, but not sure how you would do this with Tailwind.

[Rob Meijer @robmeijerdev]

@weaverryan YES! I recently rebuilt a website, and wanted to replace Bootstrap with vanilla CSS. Got to use the <dialog> element for the first time, replacing Bootstrap's handy modals, and it was a lot less effort than I expected.
