I kinda miss the days when sites would get complete redesigns pretty much annually. It kept the web feeling fresh and cutting edge.

I suppose it was simpler to do everything over when all it took was a bit of hacking away with HTML and CSS.

Usually it’s infuriating, but sometimes it can be fun to write CSS within the constraints of existing, untouchable HTML.

Does Flexbox still feel really new to anyone else?

It is like my concept of ‘new CSS things’ just broke at some point.

Ever met someone who hates melted cheese? No? Exactly!

Somehow I reckon’ we could harness this power to achieve world peace.

I thought selling body parts was illegal, but apparently ARM stock is at an all-time high…

No wonder my battery life has been terrible lately. I’ve had the full Revolt Chat stack running Dockerised in the background for the past half week…

Sometimes I’m just too lazy to use the shortcuts and automation that’d make things quicker and less labour intensive.

Reminder that you can chuck document.designMode = "on"; in your browser console, and it’ll let you directly edit the text of the current page.

I was thinking about the other future today. The one where Microsoft didn’t get done for having a monopoly, and we all searched the web using Bing via Internet Explorer.

Remember: For every person who reports an issue, there are likely dozens or hundreds (or even thousands) who noticed but stayed quiet.

I wish there was a way to git diff life so I could see what has happened between yesterday and today.

Bad AI-generated images are a guaranteed way to cheapen your content and drive away users. Creating high-quality visual content is essential for engaging your audience. Take the time to make something good, or don’t bother at all. Quality matters.

Just posting this here for no specific reason at all.

In the same vein as ‘Is it better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all?’ I propose:

Is it better to make something and have it scraped for an AI or to have never made anything at all?

My links page has been going really well!

• People are checking out cool, unique websites.

Were you all just gonna let me keep on living without telling me about the rch unit?

This is so insanely useful for one specific thing I ended up fixing with JS the other day.

I know it’s time to take a break when I start pulling this stunt:
