Erg goed verhaal over het weigeren van LLMs en het opzetten van een LLM-loze schrijversclub
Fantastic article about NTP, the complex system that synchronises time on the internet.
The idea that product (design) teams need a vision to work towards. The examples are a bit outdated (a car and a cruise ship should not be the ultimate goal anymore), but this is something our students should probably learn. And something we, as a school, should do as well?
Very, very long piece about stuff around the disability pride flag, some sort of weird conflict it seems to have with an earlier disability flag. Some interesting observations about what it really means to design with a community as well.
Numbers about the idea that people do not want AI.
AI is an everything machine, which fits perfectly in a frictionless dystopia. A plea for more friction. I agree fully.
Google AI feature in its search results is really bad.
Some interesting ideas here, most notably that you should decide what the discussion is about. At the moment, silicon valley decides and that’s bad.
PNG got an update with HDR as the most important update (I guess)
validation and error messages
Mooie kritische benadering van een krankzinnige status quo. Wegen moeten weg!
Very useful, extensive guide. Many points apply to other fields of design as well.
Creating a tool to execute the idea means innovation. Compromising the idea to the tool leads to stagnation.
I should sit down one day with some colleagues and write a similar useful guide to bad web design.
A nice introduction to testing with voice over on a Mac.
Very interesting article that points out that the EAA goes much further than the WCAG. We should focus on that as well.
A talk I have about my clocks
A comment on the value of estimating the carbon footprint of websites.
Your brain is less active when you use tools instead of just your brains. Not very shocking. Rather obvious.
