Really appreciate this (epic) thorough takedown of the #Apple folly of attempting to assign an #icon to every menu item in #MacOS.

I enjoyed Tron: Ares. It definitely wasn’t as bad as I’ve heard some reviewers and friends mention. I’m happy to see the franchise moving forward and although a couple of characters could have used a bit more nuance, I gave it a 7/10; would rewatch.

1) Sandra used AI to write a report
2) Bill used AI to summarise the report
3) Bill used AI to write questions about the report
4) Sandra used AI to respond to the questions
5) Bill used AI to create a presentation about the report
6) Jane used AI to take notes from the presentation
7) Jane’s team used AI to summarise the notes she shared

No one wrote the report, no one ever read the report, no one understood the questions or the answers.

No business value was achieved

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs a lot less to house people.

You ever seen something so painfully out of touch and oblivious it hurts?

A post on LinkedIn from Notion that reads: AI is reshaping our digital landscape much like plastic transformed our physical world. With fascinating parallels between AI and plastic—such as versatility, efficiency, and potential for innovation.

And just as plastic enabled entirely new products, AI is opening doors to tools and workflows we couldn't have imagined before.🚪

How can we harness AI's qualities to create truly transformative tools, that complement rather than replace our human intelligence? Read more →

It's wild to me that just using Google Fonts (the hosted-by-Google way) immediately makes you in violation of GDPR.

You can always self-host though: https://gwfh.mranftl.com/fonts

CSS finally adds vertical centering. Minimum required version are: Chrome: v123, Firefox: v125, and Safari: v17.4. Give it a try and we can now forget about that CSS meme about vertical centering :P https://build-your-own.org/blog/20240813_css_vertical_center/

align-content works in the default layout in 2024, allowing vertical centering with 1 CSS property.

<div style="align-content: center; height: 100px;">
<code>align-content</code> just works!

Is there any company more out of touch with creatives right now than Apple?

It feels incredibly weird to say this, but it sadly is true. Asking for 30% from Patreon subscriptions – in this climate – is garbage.

Currently, Disqus is failing on any website that uses any of the many CSS color formats that shipped in the last decade. Yup, not being able to parse a color means *their entire widget* does not get included, and comments are not shown.

You cannot anticipate everything. This is why it’s important to design systems that are resilient and fault tolerant. Expect the unexpected, and handle it gracefully.
