This time, it's three excellent articles on headings from @donnie.damato.design, @tempertemper.bsky.social, and @alvaromontoro.com.

I wanna record my entire vinyl collection. I've tried a couple of times but manual editing of audio takes all of the joy out of it. Some of the tools out there's UIs make me sad too.
Anyone out there managed to do this and enjoy it?

I honestly don’t get the value of this company. They hoover up energy and water. Their product constantly gets things wrong and, in extreme cases, coaches people into suicide.
And it’s all built on what seems to be malicious and vast intellectual property theft.
