A good alternative to wetransfer
Observations about shrinking time, the idea that the computer didn’t give us more time, as promised, but instead filled our lives with micro tasks. We should leave the clock at the door in many situations, like the art/design classroom
Tool for better audio control on Mac
The question is just as relevant and just as meaningful as the question whether submarines can swim.
In retrospect, this accident of history has been a disaster, since almost all the opinions pushed by the commercial propaganda were false, and, in addition, the propaganda has been so effective that for many those opinions have become dogmata that can no longer be challenged without committing heresy.
Nice docu. Interesting insights about how to run things, and how to do inclusion.
Very interesting article that points out that the EAA goes much further than the WCAG. We should focus on that as well.
Geweldig verhaal over een geweldige kerel. Onder andere over dat zaken doen niet per se alleen maar over zoveel mogelijk geld verdienen gaat. Wat een fantastische kerel, wauw.
One of the sad stories where a lying bot affects a product.
Fun exercise that compares internet speeds to nerve-speeds in animals.
The author writes about junktime, which I think is an even higher step from kairos -> chronos -> junktime. Who was it again who said that Kairos is village life, Chronos is city life, controlled by the clock, and then Junktime might be online life, controlled by ever presence.
Very interesting article about the work that went into creating Words of Type.

A furious, very well written reply to an ableist and arrogant linux developer.
Depressing stats about using ridiculous amounts of energy

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
Interesting case where a new feature is added to software because chatgpt tells people it exists while it doesn’t

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.
