interesting read: Perfecting Baseline piccalil.li/blog/perfect... my beef with Baseline is that is doesn't adequately account for bugs, and even if it did, I can't afford to report bugs, because I'm too busy working around them 🫠

Hello it is I, Linux user of an obscure web browser variant several versions behind with JavaScript and CSS disabled, last of his name, your website is broken. I shall not elaborate further.

what percent of "FAQs" are actually *frequently* asked questions? I feel like 90% of the FAQs I style are literally never asked before totally made up content for a new website. The other 10% are lorem ipsum.

reading: "Inline Custom Identifiers" blog.kizu.dev/inline-custo... good and simple ideas here! sucks the `anchor` attribute isn't happening. Naming stuff in CSS is a real pain. I use the `attr(type())` trick but it's chrome only 😔 dbushell.com/2025/11/01/b...

Enjoyed this writeup by @dbushell.com about the usability of custom cursors in #CSS dbushell.com/2025/10/27/c... When I visited the Wondermake website I was surprised the cursor was that big. I didn't realize it was responding to my OS settings. Neat. Interesting that Windows doesn't do the same.
