Seven *more* families?
And this is only the families who have the means to sue, and (critically) the families who FOUND OUT.

How many more vulnerable people has ChatGPT convinced? Will we ever know?

Fuck all this.

In one case, 23-year-old Zane Shamblin had a conversation with ChatGPT that lasted more than four hours.

It ain’t easy to move a side project off Big Tech
Migrating a side project from Vercel to Railway exposed the challenges of moving off Big Tech, and the price tag in terms of time and effort was higher than expected.

I'm relaunching a 12 year old project on Monday 👀

the domain still gets so much traffic I figured it'd be best to push visitors towards new ideas

what percent of "FAQs" are actually *frequently* asked questions?

I feel like 90% of the FAQs I style are literally never asked before totally made up content for a new website.

The other 10% are lorem ipsum.

"near the very bottom" I didn't even win the wooden spoon :(

now I'm very curious what pipped my proposal lol

A small group of developers are negative about it, but most don't care. We polled devs about Interop features recently (interop-rank.jakearchibald.com) and the XSLT proposal landed near the very bottom.

reading: "Inline Custom Identifiers"
blog.kizu.dev/inline-custo...

good and simple ideas here! sucks the `anchor` attribute isn't happening. Naming stuff in CSS is a real pain.

I use the `attr(type())` trick but it's chrome only 😔

Inline Custom Identifiers
This is a quick post about a pattern that I use more and more: a way to connect elements that require named custom or dashed identifiers for various CSS features.

some of Apple's Svelte code recovered from a source map github.com/rxliuli/apps...
