I didn't use #AI this morning to help me solve a CSS issue I had. I didn't even use a search engine for it... well I did try a search, but quickly changed course because I realized that it wasn't so much the answer that I was lacking. I was having difficulty with the question.

In the end it was actually faster to slow down. I'm already well proficient in #CSS so I only needed to get through 4 pages of the Flex Layouts chapter before I realized what I was overlooking.

how to make #CSS view transitions swoop or have motion blur

or how I learned to help view transitions not always go in straight lines

We, @spriebsch and @sebastian, have been frustrated watching great #PHP articles appear, get a moment of attention, and quietly disappear, while AI-generated fluff fills up search results.

This is why we launched PHP Reads: https://phpreads.com/

Every week, we hand-pick articles from across the PHP community that reward careful reading. No ads. No tracking. No vendor submissions. Just writing that actually deserves to be found.

It's free, and will stay free forever.

"I never expected to find my news from strangers on a federated social network that half the internet has never heard of. I never expected a lot of things. But there's something quietly beautiful about a place where people just... share what they know. No brand deals, no engagement metrics, no algorithm nudging you toward rage. [...] It's the internet I was promised in 1996. It only took thirty years and the complete collapse of American journalism to get here."

The latest EV batteries from BYD can charge to 70% in 5 minutes and 97% in 10 minutes.

They're leaving American manufacturers in the dust, and after Trump's all-out war on renewables and EVs, we may never catch up. China is probably going to supply the world.

What projects like #OMN can learn from history https://hamishcampbell.com/what-projects-like-omn-can-learn-from-history/ The goal is not stability, its living systems that can correct themselves.

@laurenshof writes an interesting article about Mastodon's client API vs the ActivityPub C2S API https://connectedplaces.online/reports/fr156-share-where/

Well, the $25 tickets for the #Drupalcon gala are sold out, and it seems that $125 is too much for our nonprofit-focused agency to shell out for a social event, and the same is likely the case for many independent contributors, so I guess that evening will be yet another opportunity for "enterprise-level" members of our community to rub shoulders and plot the direction of #Drupal for the rest of us.
