Interessant stuk over het werk van Katja Mater, nu te zien in FOMU, en over de sculpturen van Brancusi, binnenkort in H'Art. Over tijd dus.

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

About llm’s bazooka’s and accessibility.

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.

Shocking article about the ‘hysterical obedience’ in Germany:

very common in Germany, that to be law-abiding means not merely to obey the laws but to act as though one were the legislator of the laws that one obeys.

I want to start using the temporal API for my clocks.

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

A nice introduction to testing with voice over on a Mac.

A few extra arguments against LLMs. Mostly a personal answer/rant to an earlier article, and mostly pointing out flaws in the argumentation.

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

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.

Not sure what the real source is, but work less.

The missing article on font size on websites, while also taking the user’s preference seriously.

I really should make a martian clock. It should somehow be political though.

Oof, depressing article about the collapse of education

Productivity did not go up

Oef, wat zijn digitale directeuren toch belachelijk voorzichtig.

Depressing stats about using ridiculous amounts of energy

validation and error messages

Brilliant and wonderfully written article which says that everybody who doesn’t use a microwave for all their cooking is missing out.

Interessant, over een uitgestorven vorm van het Nederlands.

A good alternative to wetransfer

Erg mooi artikel over hangjongeren.

When people say it’s hard to leave insta or whatever, this is a good link
