Oof, depressing article about the collapse of education

For students who think they need react. Maybe a bit complex.

Excellent, excellent intelligent rant.

Mooie kritische benadering van een krankzinnige status quo. Wegen moeten weg!

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.

Mooi artikel over tijd, over The Clock, over de expo in Breda, over verschillende soorten tijd.

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

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.

Very interesting research into the effect of the common tools used in type design. Pretty much focused on type design, but should be translatable to web design as well.

Tegen zomertijd.

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

One of the sad stories where a lying bot affects a product.

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.

When anyone can produce something that looks good, the question becomes not “Can you make this?” but “Can you tell if it’s any good?” Or: “Can you make it better?”

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

Hilariously detailed article about hacking a vacuum cleaner.

Being lazy is a good idea, and I need to look into view transitions.

Excellent lecture about resisting AI.

I want to conclude by emphasising that the proposition that the role of the university is to resist AI is not simply a defence of pedagogy, but an affirmation of the social importance of imagination.

Pacifisme is de oplossing.

I don’t agree with this quote, as someone who uses code as a design tool, but …

But readable type, intuitive navigation, and smart color choices start in design, not in code. Developers build the product, but we set the foundation. It’s time to own that responsibility.

… but I really like the website and I think it is a great idea for a book.

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.

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

The other costs of LLMs. Or should we start calling them IPs? Internet Parasites?

Time is not shared equally, just like wealth.
