3 May was the first International Press Freedom Day in 30 years where the journalism from major outlets including the New York Times, The Atlantic, and USA Today, was not being preserved by the non-profit @InternetArchive
Tell major news outlets not to block the Way Back Machine and to protect their journalism for decades to come.

Just bought some delightful cartoon bee stickers for a friend (and possibly one for my laptop too), handmade by a young person who happens to be Autistic as well as delightfully creative, after seeing a post from @robert mentioning "My youngster is selling hand made badges and stickers of their own artwork. Or trying to - only had one order so far.".

✍️ New post: Lazy and Prompt
The story of Chrome 148 could have been about @scottjehl’s amazing lazy loading for video and audio 👏 – until Google decided to shove the Prompt API down our throats.
It’s like walking into your favourite restaurant, handing the chef a can of ravioli, and asking them to please put it on a plate. Maybe warm it up a little!
What really concerns me is the obvious assumption that such a sketch is the final product. That because something renders in a browser, it must be ready for production. That ”design” and ”code” are solved problems that any layman can do now, and the rest is implementation you can do with an iframe.
A “final HTML script our colleagues have developed – put it in an iframe maybe?“ That thing is full of security, performance, and privacy issues, >2500 lines of unfinished code, inlined CSS & JavaScript, not accessible, of course. But to the client, it looks fine. They don’t see the difference.
Honestly, as a professional who has spent their entire career working on the web, honing their skills, learning design, coding, best practices, and the intricacies of the web platform, it kind of sucks to get sent a Claude Design prototype by a client with the ask to implement it right away.

Will be on the @heypresents stage in about 30 minutes 😎
The final movement of Beethoven’s piano sonata No. 32 – his very last – is one of the most beautiful and divine pieces of music ever written. Just incredible. And @igorpianist’s interpretation is simply beyond anything you’ll ever hear. 🖤 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfm-IXEZiKI&list=PL1IXBSY4jc2tE5w8zZ_Pwf10vO3a5zuCT&index=102
“No web standard should require you to agree to an advertising company’s ‘terms of use.’”
Yes, yes, yes!💯
“So, in short: you now have an LLM running on your machine, and any website you visit can make use of it, and whatever processing resources it requires.”
The definitive piece on Google participating in the web standards process “the way a bear participates in the ‘camping’ process.”,
