@UkeleleEric @anon_opin daylight running lights should also by default have a rear light showing as well. they are bright enough (though way less directional) at night for drivers to be able to see in front of their car, the interior dashboard being default-lit too leads to assumptions that the headlight must be on. having a rear light in the cluster too (possibly labelled "if you see this in the dark, the driver is confused and/or distracted") would close that safety loop nicely.

In case you missed this - it's wonderful to be featured in the Border Telegraph article yesterday. Scotland's bookshops play a vital community and cultural role - now, maybe, more than ever, but these are challenging times...

I know we all love to criticize older generations, but in the 20th century if someone did a Nazi salute you could almost guarantee that a WW2 veteran would punch them in the head, and I think there was a great societal benefit to that.

Fun fact, if you google booter services (DDoS services), almost every major one is a Cloudflare customer. So currently, by anti-DDoS provider Cloudflare being offline, the world is a safer place.

With music, I usually commission something from https://tomkincaid.co.uk so I know it’ll be great AND all work together (sometimes I’ll also ask for sfx with matching timbre)
There’s loads of great library music out there, but if you’re not careful you can waste days trawling for just the right things

We have updated this software.
Pray we do not update it further.

Thank you to the global cloudflare outage for reminding me of my custom error page I made in 2014

Two other related points:
- It’s not actually that expensive to hire artists if you have a clear brief, are OK to deal with, pay instantly, etc
- Your project gets a boost, not only from not looking like AI slop, but from having a real named human involved (who will probably help promote it)
