People will obsessively research all the boring pointless nerdy details about whatever a groyper is but when I recommend the complexity of deep space nine they say they dont have time for it

Color lovers, I've got a new tool for you to convert, generate and explore OKLCH colors: oklch.fyi/ I like being able to tweak a whole color ramp, adapting chroma to make it more or less vibrant.

Instead of Liquid Glass, Apple should have gone with a waterdrop effect Put a small droplet of water on your phone screen to see the difference: instead of warping the background & pulling it in, a waterdrop just bends the image at the edges. It’s less complicated of an effect & better for a11y

arguably the job of design is to come up with creative ways of exhausting the space of mistakes, and doing it on the cheap

I've been trying to articulate why the fawning, complimentary responses from AI chatbots feel so insidious to me. I've finally figured out how to explain it.

We don’t have an opposition party. We have two parties who feed at the same donor trough. They nudge each other to get a higher percentage of the slop, but they’re here to eat. You are not part of the equation.

Donald Trump just unilaterally bombed Iran. A masked gang is terrorizing our streets. America has rapidly devolved into an authoritarian state. That's why, today, The Onion has purchased a full page ad in today's New York Times with a simple plea to Congress: Sit back and do absolutely nothing.

Happy Father’s Day

instead of pomodoros just listen to 45:33 while you work then take a lil break & do it again

The internet is *literally called the internet* because it’s meant to be a network of networks. It’s not supposed to be one giant network that sucks up all the people. It’s broken-brained to think of one platform vs another. “Why McDonald’s is doomed since Red Lobster exists.” Please.

For all the LinkedIn hand-wringing from people who have never given a shit about accessibility before, it’s interesting to see how much they talk about contrast and accessibility in this video. It’s clearly a concern & something they’ll improve on before shipping

Appreciate the people crunching numbers on this. The outrage over personal LLM energy usage seems overblown. Especially for the number of queries most of us run (<1000 / month?) Picking any other climate soap box is a better use of outrage: driving cars, eating meat, green energy providers, etc.
