The Terror of Total Dasein | Hito Steyerl - DIS MagazineDIS Magazine
https://dismagazine.com/discussion/78352/the-terror-of-total-dasein-hito-steyerl/
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.

Why and How to Write Minimal and Valid HTML, a Link Guide · Jens Oliver Meiert
https://meiert.com/blog/minimal-and-valid-html/
A list of resources about minimal(ist) HTML. As with all minimalism, in a way it continues removing stuff until it is broken, and then it stops, which is one step too late. It should stop before it is broken. In this case: keep HTML readable for humans when viewing source.

https://svgees.us/blog/hsl-bad.html
So there is no scientific proof that hsl is easier to use. But it does resemble the way human describe colours, much more than rgb.

Toolspace
https://letterror.com/articles/toolspace.html
Very interesting article about the idea that designer should make *(hone)* their own tools. Some quotes:
> It is precisely the task of designers (graphic, industrial or whatever) to discover new possibilities.
> Limitations and demands imposed by a client are easier to accept than the arbitrary limitations of your digital tools.
> After all, programming graphic programs is much too important to leave to programmers.
> Explorers, and that is what they are, do not want to do the same thing twice.

Good article that explains that server side rendering does not exist.
