⚓️ New Article: Generative colors with CSS

Generative colors with CSS
I just updated the CSS for my website to use a fork of Kelp UI, which includes a much more consistent and easy-to-maintain class system than I had before. Quick aside: if you see any bugs in your travels, please let me know! While it mostly looks the same as before, the biggest change was to the color palette. I’m now taking advantage of relative colors with the oklch() CSS function to dynamically generate all of the colors used on this site from just six hex codes defined as CSS variables.

Pizza places pioneered online ordering so that we wouldn't have to have a conversation in order pizza. 20-30 years later, AI companies want us to have a conversation to interact with basically any piece of software. We have regressed.

⚓️ New Article: Open source is still broken

Open source is still broken
Earlier this year, I wrote about how open source is kind of broken. The tl;dr version: Big companies profit immensely from free labor and give little or nothing back. Sponsorship models generate very little money, even for popular projects. “Sticky” licenses like GPL do not stop companies from profiteering. It’s only problematic for them if they redistribute the software they create. Pro Tiers with unique features gatekeep hobbyists and people doing public good—the very folks you’d most want to benefit from open source—from access, and are a hard sell unless your project is big and popular.

There's a new #CSS Working Group poll to get feedback on different names for the infamous 'Pinterest' layout. - Since it uses many of the grid-* properties, `grid` will be in the name somewhere - We don't use metaphors in CSS names, so `masonry` is not listed here docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Ex-Masonry Display Type Keyword Poll
See https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/12022 for context. This poll intentionally leaves out `masonry` as an option, see https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/12022#issuecomment-34172962...

The Ruby community deserves to know who voted for this and what information they were acting on. Ruby Central is actually very opaque. They don’t publish donations, they don’t publish votes, the community has no say who’s on the board. There is no accountability.

Nice write up Jared. It's unfortunate what has transpired and I hope the community will come together to rectify, but that will be a long, arduous process. My unfounded long-tail fears of this are with influence and censorship, always a concern with a corporate/private funded central authority.

My grand migration to #Codeberg has begun! And I'm using a Codeberg project to track my progress! Feels so good. 🥰 codeberg.org/jaredwhite/jaredwhite/…
a screenshot of a kanban-style board showing issues in the GitHub column and in the Codeberg column of which repos have migrated overa screenshot of my GitHub profile, which reads:

• Caution
Due to GitHub's bizarre "pivot to Al" with unsubstatiated claims that soon 90% of code will be written by Al all while being sucked into the facist Micro$oft regime, I am proudly migrating all of my open source projects over to Codeberg. This work is ongoing and I am tracking the progress here.

I hope you will join me and migrate away from the proprietary GitHub corporate silo and onto true community-led, open source platforms like Codeberg! (Or host Forgejo yourself!)

Pretty much. I gave it some Go coding tasks, same with Claude 3.7, 4 and qwen3-4b-2507 (not really in the same league) - it never completely fulfilled the tasks, but came close, around 70-80% of what was asked. Claude 4 did with no problem. I'd put it with 3.7 or Qwen3 (which did surprisingly well)
