The UX patterns for signing up to a free Substack newsletter is atrocious. 4 steps of trying to find the "no"/"skip" etc buttons.

Utrecht’s city centre has changed dramatically in 32 years! From car-filled streets to vibrant, people-friendly spaces—see a 1993 drive side by side with my 2025 ride. A fascinating look at urban transformation! Post and videos.
A rare glimpse of Utrecht in 1993, a before and after
There’s something about before-and-after comparisons that truly fascinates me. I love documenting changes in cities, especially when it comes to street design. Growing up in Utrecht—a city that has been in a constant state of transformation for decades—must have sparked that interest. Whenever I hear about upcoming street redesigns, I make it a point to film the ‘before’ situation as thoroughly as possible.

Just sent out this piece. Equating Trump to Neville Chamberlain is unfair on Chamberlain (and Daladier). Trump is actively trying to help and support Putin--that was not the case with appeasement. The policy failed, but it was different. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

I went to a Kubernetes meetup to hear @brancz.com talk about kubezonnet. The first thing he asked? "How many people here know what eBPF is?"
Over a third of the room raised their hands. For something as low-level as eBPF, it shows just how fundamental it’s becoming to infrastructure software

So if Trump uses the sovereign wealth fund to buy Tik-Tok, the US government will be expanding its own deficit to pay off a Chinese company. Its basically Trump making the US poorer to make China richer.

This thread is food for thought regarding the two big X-platform app frameworks (React Native vs Flutter).
Interesting:
Meta created React Native. It’s used (with components at least) in their flagship apps: Facebook (iOS, Android), Instagram (Meta Quest), Messenger (desktop).
Google created Flutter. And yet none of their flagship apps use it (Gmail, YouTube, Maps, Calendar).

Firefox ❤️
Google finally did it. Is it time to switch to Firefox? I believe users should be in control of what they can install and use on their desktop or laptop. There's uBlock Origin Lite, which replaces the original uBlock Origin for Chrome and similar browsers. Give it a try.

Very interesting thread about the ongoing martial law incident in South Korea.
According to Korean constitutional law, if martial law is declared in a state of non-war, the National Assembly can vote to make the president stand it down. The National Assembly is gathering now.
We are just now getting footage of inside the National Assembly.
