I really don’t like overtaking on the winding roads here, it’s usually not worth the risk. Today I had a slow moped in front of me and a very straight clear stretch of road.

The way electric cars securely and steadily accelerate makes any overtake so much easier and safer. And before the next […]

Hey font people! I have a font with a stylistic set that I like to use, however that stylistic set includes a “slashed 0” which I don’t want to use because it can be misread as an Ø.

Currently I just use font-feature-settings: "ss02" on; but what I need is to exclude the “slashed 0”. Is this […]

Putting open fire into a small conference room is certainly a choice, Traitors UK Season 2 finale. I don’t want to know the pm2.5 in that place.

Clean air is so important.

It’s also a great reminder why “Innocent until proven guilty” is such an important principle. How they are voting out Faithfuls left and right without concrete evidence, and it really shows how easy it is to rile up people to target a completely innocent person.

Watching UK Traitors, because there traitors have a real chance to be banished, in contrast to real life. 🤷‍♂️

What would I do if random dudes on LinkedIn weren’t explaining to me how my job works?

Thinking of things “AI” (or a simple algorithm) could do reasonably well is recognizing that a Slack thread is about wishing happy birthday and de-prioritizing those notifications after I have commented.

Übergangsweise ein Parkplatz. Nicht ein Park. Weil das wär ja Nix für Autofahrende. 5,5 Millionen Euro. Erstmal für Parkplätze.

"Schandfleck der Innenstadt": 15 Jahren stand diese Ruine leer, jetzt will die Stadt etwas ändern […]

Text Shot: Die Stadt möchte das Gebäude abreißen. Etwa 1,5 Millionen Euro werden zusätzlich dafür fällig, so Weigel. Als Übergangslösung soll ein Parkplatz entstehen. Ab Ende 2026 soll dieser nutzbar sein, so Weigel.

Visuals of the new logo notwithstanding, I find it irritating that it is applied to old specs as well.

“And our Excel does not know what tabular numbers are. We don’t tabulate here! Just use Gemini to get a vague assumption on what the result of a calculation is. Because computers, famously bad at computing.”

“But, Eric, please use Gemini to generate the most bleak and boring document possible and burning our planet in the process. This is much more important than being able to use fonts correctly. We are not Word!”

Google Fonts: “Look how many great fonts we have, with Stylistic Sets that you can use to have distinguishable I and l characters!”

I replied to @tantek.com’s critique/pointing out the backlash on the new W3C logo. I feel super uncomfortable pointing at resources that include the logo because of the shapes invoking body parts. I hope there is a way to address this. I just want my W3C logos boring and uncontroversial.

I so often mistype “Ingo and Relationships”, it’s not even funny. I don’t want anything to do with Ingo and his relationships. 🤣

[Anatomical “features”, tech logos]

With all the “AI” companies using buttholes as logos, maybe W3C’s redesign is just timely. Will every logo be stylized private parts in the future?

If my salary was dependent on using “AI” tools and finding them “helping with my productivity”, I would probably find minor wins and present them as huge productivity improvements.

That would be especially true if the person doing my performance evaluation would want me to do it.

Luckily it’s not.

„ChatGPT Atlas uses ARIA tags—the same labels and roles that support screen readers—to interpret page structure and interactive elements.

“We created [easy] WCAG so that people don’t need to figure out what 1.4.3 Contrast Minimum actually means.”

First sentence in that resource:

“Text contrast against its background must be at least 4.5:1 for normal text, or 3:1 for large text (over 24px, or bold and over 19px).”

Die Union versteht das Konzept der Brandmauer ganz genau. Gegen die Grünen wenden sie das Konzept nämlich an, indem sie sich konsequent gegen Klimaschutzmaßnahmen stellen. Merz und Co. liebäugeln mit der AfD, weil sie die Inhalte selbst teilen.

Snooker players increasingly missing tournaments or playing bad because of “some virus” (Neil Robertson) or “illness that affects their vision” (Zhao Xintong) is probably just coincidence…
