As this article illustrates, you can't tell where a QR code will lead when you read it with your phone. It's important to have a QR code reader that lets you look at the actual website URL before you decide to visit, not one that takes you there automatically.

Ideastream Public Radio: Webmaster told to remove DEI pages from CWRU site.

Web Designers, and those who look after #websites. Please include an #RSS feed to your news section (at the very least).

Just tried to add a few large sites, to my #FeedReader only to discover that no feeds were available... most annoying! 😞

Received an email by the #NANOG mailing list in which they raise a pretty concerning thing: Apparently, #Spain started to intercept or nullroute certain IP addresses of #CDN providers. The intent is to fight #piracy during #football matches.

Do the people who pass the list of IP addresses even understand the significance of blocking a bunch of #CDN networks of various providers? Seriously?! It #censors access to tens of thousands of legitimate #websites which is blatantly accepted as a #collateral to help out some shady sports association in their #copyright?

How much shadier can a decision be? Since this is a thing, maybe they can think about taking down entire regions in Spain the next football match?

The amount of collateral damage in the name of copyright is ridiculous. The #EuropeanUnion really has to step-up their game in addressing those concerning developments. I read about multiple such blatant decisions so far. Eyeing at you, #Quad9 and #Sony...

Ich habe in einer Zeit angefangen zu coden, in der die Kolleg*innen ihr Wissen gehütet haben wie den heiligen Gral. Heute kann ich jederzeit eine #KI befragen – aus vielen Gründen eine kontroverse Angelegenheit, aber war Copy&Paste von Stack Overflow wirklich so viel besser?

Als Leser des #UX-Newsletters von https://benutzerfreun.de habe habe ich "#Websites entwickeln mit KI" im @rheinwerkverlag gewonnen und bin gespannt auf den konzeptionellen, aber praxisnahen Ansatz von #JensJacobsen. Danke!
