Turn a so called passport file into a png, as it should be.

Interesting tool to see how music is linked. Works the same with all kinds of creativity and art of course, we could use more of these visualising tools

PNG got an update with HDR as the most important update (I guess)

Fantastic article about NTP, the complex system that synchronises time on the internet.

Good article that explains that server side rendering does not exist.

If you love React and love using it—by all means. Just don’t mistake the complexity of React Server Components for complexity that is inherent to the web platform.

Form labels and what they do

Very interesting article about the work that went into creating Words of Type.

A list of resources about minimal(ist) HTML. As with all minimalism, in a way it continues removing stuff until it is broken, and then it stops, which is one step too late. It should stop before it is broken. In this case: keep HTML readable for humans when viewing source.

The other costs of LLMs. Or should we start calling them IPs? Internet Parasites?

Excellent, excellent intelligent rant.

[AI hype companies are] selling the idea that doing things is worthless.

Long, but very good read about hype, that the author calls Whatever.

Kritiek op westerse oorlogstaal wordt gezien als naïef, maar er is een blind vertrouwen op een industrie die geld verdient met het uiteenrijten van lichamen.

Laten we weigeren onze kinderen op te offeren in naam van een natiestaat

A few extra arguments against LLMs. Mostly a personal answer/rant to an earlier article, and mostly pointing out flaws in the argumentation. For instance, that something was bad 6 months ago doesn't mean it’s good now. The same argument was used 6 months ago by the same people. Comparing people to large organisations when it comes to copyright Anonymous examples The fact that something gets attention doesn’t mean it’s as good as stated: see apps, crypto, etc. The fact that CEOs want us to use it, same thing, and even worse, because CEOs etc

Very interesting research into the effect of the common tools used in type design. Pretty much focused on type design, but should be translatable to web design as well.

Liquid glass is bad.

Fun exercise that compares internet speeds to nerve-speeds in animals.
