I really wish Apple would allow me (Android user) to mark my wife's Airtags as safe and not keep notifying me that I'm being followed. Better yet, just make them work on Android!

Google's Circle to Search has just become incredibly useful to me. I've just been added to my wife's family group chat and, while imperfect, the screen translation lets me quickly understand the gist of the Finnish conversation. I'm not sure I could use a phone without this now.
Alex2026 work update. Still looking for full time or part time work. Remote or onsite in Spain.
I fall neatly into the creative developer / design engineer category. I'm good at #html, #css and #js
I mainly work with #AstroJS, #CraftCMS, #Kirby and #Shopify. I don't use UI frameworks and take pride in a craft I’ve spent over 20 years learning.
Open to collaborating with companies and individuals to bring projects to life. It would be nice if you do work that gives good belly feels.

My electric shaver died and I just tried using a regular razor for the first time in years. I won't be doing that again. I look like Electrode.
"Jaffa" crepe cake. Alternating clotted cream and orange marmalade between regular and chocolate crepe layers.

Paul HebertI'm officially a curmudgeon. Here's a rant about the Shadcn component library and how over-complicated its radio buttons are: https://paulmakeswebsites.com/writing/shadcn-radio-button/
(Inspired by this week's work frustrations lol)
The Incredible Overcomplexity of the Shadcn Radio Button
Radio buttons are built into web browsers. Why are we using a UI library that wraps another UI library that rebuilds radio buttons from scratch? Why does rendering a radio button require multiple dependencies and several kilobytes of JavaScript? How did we make a built-in browser control so complicated?
