How to change the Duolingo app icon

I am using Duolingo to learn a bit of German. I have been using the app for a while and enjoy the exercises. With that said, I am not a fan of Duolingo’s changing application icons on iOS. I don’t like that an application can set its own home screen icon without my permissio...

I wish there was a (simpler) way to highlight text in inputs

When I was building the search engine for my blog, one feature I wanted to implement was syntax highlighting within the search input field. I wanted special operators (i.e. has:noalt, which shows posts that contain one or more images without alt text) to have a different back...

The Church at Varengeville by Monet

I am writing about a few paintings to help me build my description skills. My analyses are not formal or comprehensive. If nothing else, I hope that you enjoy the painting that I feature! The warm colours in Monet’s The Church at Varengeville (1882) stood out to me the momen...

State of the Browser 2026

State of the Browser was electric. This is how I summarised my experience at the annual State of the Browser event in London in my notes. I like to capture moments as they happen, then write about them later. The note is the essence of a blog post; the starting point. The not...

Girl on a Divan by Berthe Morisot

Berthe Morisot’s Girl on a Divan, displayed in the National Gallery, London, caught my eye as soon as I saw it. The painting was the last one I saw in the Impressionist room in the Gallery, but despite having been on my feet for hours before I stood for several minutes lookin...

IndieWeb Carnival March 2026: Museum memories

Museums and galleries are places we can go to learn about the past, think about the present, and consider the future. Museums are places we can connect: with times, people, and place. We can have conversations in museums. We learn in museums. We can explore. The topic I have...

🎬 Weapons

Movie poster for “Weapons”.

Love a good overlapping episodes film. Really well done here. It's scary, evil, creepy, suspenseful and manages to keep you hooked and waiting for more the entire time. I'm not quite sure yet how I liked some of the humorous and excessively gory parts; I'm not sure, if a more toned down approach would have served the atmosphere a little better. But overall, two hours very well spent!

👍 Recommended!

I‘m actually surprised that Anthropic didn’t fold. But not surprised at all that eager Sam is picking up the slack with OpenAI.

Good to see this trending on the orange site today: https://help.openai.com/en/articles/7232927-how-do-i-cancel-my-chatgpt-subscription

Big #sotb FOMO today. Also because I just realized that online tickets are sold out as well … (Great to see!)
Have a wonderful day, my friends! 💚 Will think of you while I improve the state of the garden. 🌱😁

Updated my workshop Mac mini to #Tahoe and wow. Either I’m getting old or this is really bad UI design. (…or both 😁) I’m not talking about the weird alignment of elements and rounded corners that are all over the place, although that’s surprising to see as well. More the hard to read text on semi-transparent, blurry elements that also lack contrast. This really trips me up as someone with regular migraines with auras. I constantly feel like a migraine is about to start … 😕
