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

Bovendien is het moeilijk voor te stellen hoe radicale gelijkwaardigheid eruitziet, het is onbekend terrein. Ik weet ook niet hoe een wereld zonder uitbuiting eruit zou zien, maar de huidige wereldorde leidt tot oorlog en geweld, dus het is het onderzoeken waard.

Depressing stats about using ridiculous amounts of energy

Erg goed verhaal over het weigeren van LLMs en het opzetten van een LLM-loze schrijversclub

This is an incredible resource: many (really, many) words that letter-professionals use explained in quite a few languages. Wow!

Very handy, and cleverly opinionated read-later tool.

Fieldsets and what they do

Interesting “brutalist” typefaces

Prachtige visualisaties van vogels in amsterdam

Chatbots vond ik al treurig. Nu is daar ook bewijs voor.

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.

While the idea is nice: own your time, don’t let notifications and managers own it. There is one important flaw though: the word billionaire. Becoming a billionaire is not a good idea, it is a ridiculous american dream.

Absolutely fantastic article that calculates the amount of photons that reach the eye from a single, printed letter.

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

Your brain is less active when you use tools instead of just your brains. Not very shocking. Rather obvious.

The question is just as relevant and just as meaningful as the question whether submarines can swim.

An attempt to explain some programming paradigm visually.

The fascinating idea that time moved slower in right after the big bang

Making a git repo, completely manually. A clever explanation about how git works, and what it does.

Excellent article for discussions about privacy
