I started 007 First Light yesterday and so far I'm a bit surprised how much of the game has been cinematics and quick time events

And I want Mark to renounce his work at Meta and spend the rest of his life focusing on how to improve the lives of those who can't afford basic food and housing, but we don't all get what we want techcrunch.com/2026/06/23/m...

The app would be independent of Meta's other social media offerings, although sources told the NYT that those social sites could direct users to engagement with the app.

The Chrome DevTools team are doing a "papercuts" sprint where they try to address lots of small, irritating bugs and annoyances. Reply with crbug.com links (no bug, no fix—that's the deal!) and will see what we can do. No promises though as some may be features/too big/unclear how to solve.

I’m seizing this moment, as I’ve already sent a selection of 10 bugs to our DevTools team for them to look at 😁 Which papercut bugs would you like to see solved? Send me your crbugs and I’ll forward them. No crbug to point to? No worries: you can always file new ones at crbug.com/new 😉

Apparently there's a social network for people in music called Vampr. Using a name that suggests leeching off of others was certainly a choice

Here's the recording of this year's “What's new in Web UI” talk @una.im and I gave at Google I/O earlier this week. youtu.be/uT7MVcCQ4rw Very happy with how it went, and I think you might find it useful, so give it a watch 😊 #ChromeDevRel #GoogleIO

Just noticed that macOS's TTS pronounces "transform" as "trons-form"

There's been a quiet discourse among creators about this for quite some time, but it's no longer that quiet. I hate what AI is doing to the internet. Yes, it has its upsides. But the downsides outweigh those IMO. I have my own thoughts and feelings about the state of things that are still brewing.😞

Heartbreaking. And a wake-up call. It is no longer about being difficult to find a way to sustain yourself through your work online. It is no longer sustainable to keep a website up now. Axel has done so much for the web and all of us. Buy one of his books if you can. We've learned so much from him.

I mostly lean on anxiety. I start by not being sure what to write, move on to doubting my expertise, take a break to worry about what will happen if I'm wrong, and finally talk myself out of posting anything at all

What are your writing tools for your blog and what is your stack?

@joshwcomeau.com I'm curious how you go about designing your courses. Did you study education or instructional design? Do you have any resources you'd recommend for others looking to build courses or other educational resources that work for students?

Rephrasing an idea from this post: AI automation isn't like industrialization. Improper use of industrial tools can severely harm workers. Improper use of vibe coding puts the end user at risk

More and more people I deeply respect and have learned a lot from over the years feel like they are speaking into a void, to the point where they are losing motivation to continue making content, which got me to write my first post on my site in over a year... www.kevinpowell.co/article/tell...

I've been going through the same thing for more than a year. At first I thought I was alone, until more and more people started opening up and speaking out. That's why I'm grateful for Kevin and others. Like Kevin said, do support the educators you value—send them a Thank You, buy their courses 1/2

Takeout/delivery and cooking your own food are both wrong. Instead you should be extracting atmospheric dust, nutrients, and moisture using specialized microscopic hairs called trichomes.

Did you know that airplanes are actually TOO close to the cloud to get good WiFi? Its true! We all know the internet is bits of data. But where do the bits come from? Turns out The Cloud spontaneously emits quantum wave packets that coalesce into WiFi radio waves after traveling at least 93 meters!
