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.

Google has a secret ‘Forums’ tab that exclusively returns results from forums and discussion boards. You just need to append the query “udm=18” to the URL.

e.g https://www.google.com/search?q=JPEG+XL&udm=18

Further, and as you’re likely aware, you can use “utm=14” for a simpler set of results devoid of cruft such as knowledge panels and AI slop. It is reminiscent of the Google of old.

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!

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.

Friendly reminder 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.
