Loving the new Dr. Who. The writing seem to be some of the best it’s been in years and the Ncuti Gawta is making the best of that material. Wonderful stuff!

A lot of my usage of tabs in browsers is because I don’t trust the back button.
The modern web is filled with so much JS stuff that doesn’t (properely) support going the back button.
15 years ago I’d go back and I would go back to the page in the specific position! Not today.
I wonder if there’s some fantasy universe where (Dark) Lords of Chaos are just very concerned with dynamical systems where very small changes in initial parameter values yield extremely large change in outcome.
I’ve been curious about learning Flutter for a good while, but seeing Google firing lots of people at their Dart and Flutter teams is making see going into Flutter as a very risky proposition.
Don’t Google understand how severely they are undercutting faith in their devtools by doing this?
My opinion on architecture is that there should be a lot more colour. Not everything needs to be black, grey or brown.
Ravel by Katia & Marielle Labeque is such a gorgeous album. The piano tones are just so delicate. Absolutely lovely stuff.
I’m don’t really listen that much to classical music, but this stuff just so… tactile. Highly recommended.

Thatcher absolutely was awful, but it’s quite telling that no men that pushed the exact same politics never get anywhere near the same vitriol thrown at them.
Find it kinda upsetting that unless you engage with Facebook, Facebook Messenger og (also Meta-owned) Instagram you risk loosing out on being in touch with some people. I get it, those are much easier to use. It just sucks that you have to sacrifice privacy in order to keep in touch.
Running on Doom on a satelite and using actual space photos for the skybox
@olafurw@mastodon.social is behind the video and worked on the experiment (and his worth following both on fedi and youtube)
The new EP Mahal by Glass Beams is absolutely amazing. I’ve been looking forward to it since the title track (which is a good starting point to get into them) released a month ago. They released the EP among others as a full video with live studio performance. Mesmerising stuff! 🎵
Just finished playing Limbo again. What an gorgeous game (with interesting puzzles). It’s quite grusome a lot of the time (not to mention creepy, parts of the game are directly inspired by the director’s arachnophobia). Still, not a proper horror title (those are too much for me).
From what I can tell Tailwind is usually replacing JavaScript-based styling solutions, not vanilla CSS. Even if you have a traditional view on web dev, isn’t that an improvement?
Also: I don’t remember there being such hatred for CSS framework in the late 2000s and early 2010s.
Been playing Cocoon, and it’s such a gorgeous game puzzle game. It’s by the lead game designer on Limbo and Inside though the game is less bleak than those and I’d say more wondrous Highly recommended! 🎮
Lately I’ve been playing Cocoon, and it’s such a beautiful game (and for the most part) relaxing puzzle game. It’s by the lead game designer on Limbo and Inside and I recognise some of the puzzle design, but the aesthetic is more of wonder and less of noir industrial decay. Highly recommended! 🎮
I don’t really like subscription software services, but I’m considering getting a SetApp-subscription specifically to support non-Apple App Stores for iOS.
Josh Collinsworth with Classic rock, Mario Kart, and why we can’t agree on Tailwind comes with very good criticism of Tailwind.
Sorry to sub-post, but a lot of the criticism of Tailwind lately had a conspiratorial and ignorant bent lately. Good criticism do exist so I think it’s worth showing.
We all should have seen it coming. Dark Brandon pushing Rust.
White House PRESS RELEASE: Future Software Should Be Memory Safe
Giving up on dark mode. I was a light mode during the day, dark mode during the night kind of person. but lately my thinking is: if it’s late and dark enough to warrant dark mode… it’s just too late to be sitting on my computer anyway.
(I still find dark mode great for mobile devices though)
You gotta check out this incredible song Mahal by Glass Beams. The roots of the band members lies in some (all?) of the members being second generation Indian immigrants to Australia, and you can tell from the sound. Absolutely amazing stuff. www.youtube.com/watch 🎵
You should look at this beautiful creative coding piece by @hamoid@genart.social: genart.social/@hamoid/1…
Absolutely stunning. 🎨
One of my biggest frustrations with both Apple Music and Spotify is that eventually they mess up your music library, randomly splitting that album you added into EP and singles and partial albums.
Does anyone know if Tidal is better in this regard?
What are some albums you like that are really well produced? 🎵
People wanting a more progressively enhanced web focus too much on dunking on specific tech (React, etc.). You absolutely can (and should) make progressively enhanced websites with most front-end frameworks today, it’s about actually doing it! React, etc. is no excuse!
Hot take: aren’t reducers (Redux, etc.) just a less efficient version of objects with encapsulation?
One of my favourite features of Micro.blog continues is the lack of some features: no boost/retweet, no likes/favourites (though we have bookmarks), no follower counts. More relaxing than anything else I’ve tried.
