Hi, this is Andre. I'll be writing about software architecture and development, cyber security, UX/UI topics, politics, and queer experiences. I'm a classically trained musician and music composer, band director, and music instructor. I'm handfasted, have kids, and play and create (video) games. Sometimes I don't recognize social cues.

The Great CSS Expansion

CSS now does what Floating UI, GSAP ScrollTrigger, Framer Motion, and react-select used to require JavaScript for. Here is exactly how much that saves, why these libraries were painful beyond their size, and what the platform still hasn't figured out.

Butler's Log

There is a problematic tension here, especially in the EU. If you ask money for your software you are a vendor, therefore liable for security issues. If you do not make enough money this is an existential risk. The other alternative is to do it for "free" - which again is an existential risk.

Open source isn't a tip jar – it's time to charge for access

Opinion: A handful thrive, most scrape by as companies make billions off their code

No. Spammers are stupid as a shoe. They have dog shit for brains.

Automated spam detection is hard because the line between spam and "legitimate" marketing activity is a fiction.

Logiciels libres : Équivalence ou alternative

https://framablog.org/2026/03/26/lalternative/

En ce moment, Gee a décidé de reprendre les bases… tout simplement parce que ce qui peut nous sembler évident, à nous libristes, ne l'est pas forcément pour tout le monde. L'alternative 💡 Les logiciels libres ont la fâcheuse tendance à être présentés via un équivalent propriétaire : c’est le fameux « X est une alternative libre...

1/5

Deux pannes, deux réactions très différentes.

Outlook hors service à cause d'un bug Teams → frustration, mais l'outil n'est pas remis en cause.

Souci de config sur un logiciel libre → verdict immédiat : "on aurait dû rester sur Microsoft."

Ce n'est pas une question de qualité technique. C'est une question de biais cognitifs.

Keeping money from going to the Harry Potter franchise isn’t just a symbolic gesture. It’s about preventing real harm to real people.
