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

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

Excellent advice for creative professionals about contracts. It’s written for people who make fonts, but it’s solid advice for more creatives.

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.

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

Tool for better audio control on Mac

Interesting: programming is not about finishing a product, it is about making, understanding and working with the thing. So programming is not about the end result, it is about the experience. Reminds me of chronos vs kairos.

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

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

Productivity did not go up

Interesting observation that the idea and the form of a quick sketch changes.

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

Excellent resource about the UX of specific HTML elements in different screenreaders.

Time is not shared equally, just like wealth.

Form labels and what they do

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

Some excellent nerdy and niche HTML knowledge about the href attribute value.

It's easier to do sloppy work nowadays.

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

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

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

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.

A tool to see if your HTML form is well formed.

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

Liquid glass is bad.
