As we all know X, née Twitter, is turning more and more into a shitshow. Time to move on to other platforms! Sadly, the people I used to follow flock into all sorts of directions: be it LinkedIn, Mastodon, Bluesky or all of them. So here I am on Bluesky: @schepp.dev.

Almost one year ago I wrote an article that dealt with an emerging WebKit CSS technique, the CSS filter effects, and the question if we could not have/emulate them in other browsers, too. Turned out we could.
