@tdp_org I was at Cisco Live in Amsterdam this time last year, and their two main marketing pushes that year were effectively "AI IN SWITCHES, AI IN ROUTERS, AI IN FIREWALLS, AI EVERYWHERE!!!!11!!!111!!!🥳", and "You should be thinking about the planet and cutting down on your energy usage. Here are all our new power management products".

In one of the Power/Enviro sessions I had the temerity to ask how this aligned with the big AI push, and was met with a stony silence 😀

Apple Music stopped me screenshotting so I’m glad for the View Credits option, as I am for Perry et al to have the foresight in 1996 to register a new URI scheme

Write HTML. If that’s not enough, also write CSS. If that’s also not enough, write JS. But you’d be surprised how much you’ll find that CSS is actually enough, if you’re good at it.

(But be sure to check the accessibility of what you’re doing. Adding a little progressive enhancement JS to fix that is correct behaviour.)

Going against the grain reliably blows up your spot because HTML and CSS are shockingly efficient UI compression syntaxes. You can't beat 'em, byte-for-byte, and ~30 years of engineering have gone into optimising them for the *specific* environment they thrive in: loading sites the first time, through a straw, on CPU-starved devices. Every time it has looked like the environment would favour less efficient approaches, the world has changed in ways that disappoint post-scarcity naïveté.

@atpfm How dare I just try and open Discord 😳
@jamesthomson Here I was thinking that adding the tip jar was worth it after all. Received a "medium"-sized tip of half a million dollars.

@caseyliss Was a no-brainer subscribing straight away. What an awesome app, and the first one in a while to make it to my single Home Screen rather than being delegated to the App Library 😂 The amount of time it’s saved me so far in web browsing / other apps just to get the info I want at the time is incredible.
