Insight into how I manage to add new sites to collected.li almost every day. 1. The public collection is a mirror of my personal collection. I’m collecting anyway, so why not make it public? 2. The technical process is automated. I add a link to an Are.na channel, and the API handles the rest.

Does anybody know why @figma.com runs in the background after quitting it by hitting cmd+q? I've not needed it much recently, and it feels a bit creepy not knowing what it does while I don't use it. #Figma #infosec

Look at me, I’m actually behind on documenting finished projects for my portfolio and social media. For the first time ever, I think! Does this mean I’m finally getting better at prioritizing? Or am I just becoming less organized? Who knows!

temper.one is now being used for the Davis Prize (davisprize.org). After MingKwai Discovery (mingkw.ai) and the KBI UX Incubator (kbiux.org, available until a few days ago), this is the third Stanford-related initiative using temper. temper seems to be popular over there at #Stanford University!

First time in a long time I’m watching an Apple event, and it’s soo boring. It took an hour to get to the thing everyone was waiting for, and even that is mostly boring.

9 out of 10 sites being submitted via the submission form on collected.li are mindless promo without even a custom design (which would be the minimum requirement). including the form at all was an experiment in the first place, and i think i will have to remove it again.

Of course, I factor Deutsche Bahn delays into my travel plans so I’m prepared. But they have another trick up their sleeve: they can always just cancel the trip altogether.

Der Gender-Doppelpunkt ist ein interessantes Phänomen. Dass die Screenreader-Ausgabe grundsätzlich besser sein soll als beim Sternchen, ist schnell widerlegt, und überhaupt hat sich ja wohl die Software der Sprache anzupassen und nicht umgekehrt.

Fun fact: Hotmail got that name because it looked like HTML
Launch of Hotmail
edit
Hotmail logo used from 1996 to 1998
Hotmail logo used from 1996 to 1998
Hotmail service was founded by Sabeer Bhatia and Jack Smith, and was one of the first webmail services on the Internet along with Four11's RocketMail (later Yahoo! Mail).[10][11] It was commercially launched on July 4, 1996, symbolizing "freedom" from ISP-based email[12] and the ability to access a user's inbox from anywhere in the world. The name "Hotmail" was chosen out of many possibilities ending in "-mail" as it included the letters HTML, the markup language used to create web pages (to emphasize this, the original type casing was "HoTMaiL").

If you told someone from 5 years ago that ChatGPT will be capable of figuring out how to break out of sandboxes, they'll be like "what is ChatGPT?" because it won't be released for another year

Does anyone have an idea how I could prototype a z-index situation in Figma? As in: a fixed header, but a scrolling element with relative position that sits above the header? 🤔

Indicate Mono lets you combine widths without losing the rhythm. Every third condensed character aligns with every second regular-width character.

Inspired by @meyerweb.com's talk at @cssday.nl I played with offset-path before, but somehow missed that we can use it with border-box and padding-box, making this so incredibly easy. I need to fix up the code a bit as it's kinda messy, but you can see it here: codepen.io/editor/kevin...
