Went to the Kongernes Velling experience Center today and it has the most engaging visual and auditory exhibit interactions. Got some good inspiration for my own work. If you ever happen to be in Denmark (middle Jutland), be sure to visit it. #natmus
I’m exploring the mental health effects of AI coding. This is a super quick (blazing fast), anonymous survey. Please fill out and share so that the responses will be well rounded. forms.gle/dpD8Tk1QnXAz...

Interesting: There’s now an anonymous, moderated list of companies that stop responding after you interviewed with them

Having native browser support for popovers is cool (via popover and popovertarget), but I am kinda sad it doesn't seem to work for SVG shape elements. Or am I wrong?
Everyone, help a bro out. I would if I could, but I don't use it.
if you use an extension in the chrome sidepanel, please let me know which one so I can test!
@cssday.nl (for Eric Meyer). can offset-path and its buddies, also be used somehow to position along a path?
@kevinpowell.co (in your #cssday talk) you use css order to order the content based on a sorting value. But doesn't that hurt a11y for blind users? Because this way the sorting effectively does not work for them. Or am I wrong?
Even in de herhaling voor diegenen die nog niet zo wakker waren: Komende zaterdag is het PRIDE 🏳️🌈 festival (incl parade!) in mijn stad Eindhoven. Zou erg leuk zijn als er veel mensen afzakken naar onder de rivieren om ons te steunen en gezellig mee te doen.
A few weeks ago, I talked about AI and its impact, and the uncertainty it's causing. It was a bit downbeat. I thought it would be a good idea to make something with a bit more of an uplifting message as a follow-up. Of course it hit a new audience and all the haters have shown up in the comments 😅

Now i've going back into more creative software work vs generic software work, I've noticed something interesting when it comes to AI assistants. They're ok to decent when doing very general work,

The better question is how does Bruce know about my pet Triceratops? And about the pictures that I take with her where we dress up a Beatrix Potter's characters?
People have asked me if Vivaldi Technologies parks this on your machine. No, we don’t. We know it’s your device, and you’d rather use storage space for music from The Cruellest Months/ Cheeky Girls, or selfies with your pet triceratops. www.theverge.com/tech/924933/...

Even my dyslexia can get dark at times. Just read a thing called "miscellaneous meetings" as "malicious meetings". #NeuroSpicyFun
Thinking about doing a talk called "Tailwind ain't so bad". No, seriously, I am thinking about it for real.
You can find the slides to the presentation "A kinder and gentler web" at a-kinder-and-gentler-web.netlify.app Please note there is a bug on the slide that prevents the text from appearing. Just move to the next slide with the cursor/arrows keys and go back. Then the text should be there.

So tomorrow is Trans Day of Visibility. The thing is though is that I am working from home all day long and have no plans to go out. So no one's gonna see me. Do anyone have ideas on how to be visible in other ways? #TransDayOfVisibility #TDOV
Same. Although the list isn't longer than 10 times.
Hey conferences - it may get me rejected, but I'm never doing this. I will, however, link you to my web page showing my history of speaking. I've got near 30 years speaking experience - I don't think you want it all. ;)
Ok, in the following sentence would you use "female" or "woman"? "Hi, I am a _______." In case English is not your first language, it is fine you might mess this up, but in case you don't know and English IS your first language, it is "woman".
I've spent 1.5 years with my current dnd group and still no one's figured out my weapons naming scheme. So I am making it public so at least some people can think it is funny besides me.
In the world of Mölang one group of creatures keeps other creatures in cages. Just like in our world.
My wife's new choice of drama series. #molang She always watches it right before bedtime. I think it serves as some kind of pallette cleanser or something.
This actually kinda makes sense. In Ui design you sometimes see text toned down to de-emphasize it.
Where are <weak> and <de-em>?
