I haven’t had a chance to do too much digging but maybe this env var exists and you can do an if switch in your zshrc

Vertical tabs are coming to Chrome 145 as an experimental feature for testing! 🎉
chrome://flags/#vertical-tabs
We're currently on Chrome 144, so you have to use Chrome Canary until you can play around with it.

The new Web Almanac is out. 🎉
If you don't know the Web Almanac, it's pretty much a summary and analysis of the state of the web based on real data from the HTTP Archive.
As a yearly tradition, I'll go over it and highlight/comment on the things that stand out. Let's go! 🧵

The 2025 Web Almanac by HTTP Archive has been officially released! 🚀
We would like to thank all of our contributors from around the globe who made this extensive report possible!

I'm so tired of the "usual" open source drama happening over and over again.
There's a simple rule: if something's free (code, content, whatever...), no one can make demands. It's as simple as that.
It's wild to me that we as a community still haven't figured that one out. :/

I really need to update these social images... 🫣
A really interesting read, especially if you think the light-dark() function is a simple replacement for the prefers-color-scheme media query.
https://www.stefanjudis.com/today-i-learned/light-dark-isnt-the-same-as-prefers-color-scheme/
https://www.stefanjudis.com/today-i-learned/light-dark-isnt-the-same-as-prefers-color-scheme/
light-dark() isn't always the same as prefers-color-scheme
`light-dark()` and `prefers-color-scheme` treat the defined `color-scheme` values differently.

I’m in the home stretch of a nav redesign for a web app w/ 60+ unique features
The stakeholder just told me they are “very happy” with the outcomes, this was “money well spent” 🎉
If you could use that sort of #WebDesign #WebDev win, I’m always looking for my next project: [email protected]

TIL that modern Node not only supports `--env-file` / `--env-file-if-exists` but also a new method to programmatically load .env files.
It's been marked stable since Node v24 (current LTS), and I'm now on the journey of removing all the `dotenv` dependencies. 😅
