„Die öffentliche Demütigung gab es schon mal. Von 1933 bis 1945 wurden etwa Sinti und Roma oder Juden auch gezwungen, vor der Haustür zu kehren und dann wurden sie deportiert. Die Botschaft lautet: Ihr seid nirgendwo sicher.“

Schon klar, wählt die ruhig weiter.

Oh, so Svelte is basically also under the Vercel umbrella? 🙄 (Since 2021? I somehow missed that…)

This is why we can’t have nice things.

The end of websites?

Oh! Listening to my favorite podcast @shoptalkshow reminded me that I forgot to connect the dots to another, probably totally unrelated detail: that Chrome just shipped with the Prompt API and a 4GB Gemini Nano model, despite pushback from other browser makers.

I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by cumulative layout shift.

✍️ New post: Ad Infinitum

Google announced the biggest change to Search in 25 years at #GoogleIO. But where are the ads…? 🤔

https://matthiasott.com/notes/ad-infinitum

Of course, there will still be ads. And auctions as well. And not only will that determine which ads show up, but how many words the LLM is writing about a product. They call it “prominence allocation”. The ad is in the generated content.
(Thanks @sijmen for the hint!) https://blog.reachsumit.com/posts/2024/08/ads-llm/

So Google is basically killing their main product? The ingenious money machine that made them billions? Or am I missing something … I mean: where are the ads? 🤔

Setting type so big Figma loses track of where the text boxes end. That’s the way. ☺️

@webrocker Gutes Spiel! 🤝🤗

What is happening?!?!

🎶 “So can we please be absolutely sure
That there's a mirrorball for me?
Oh, there'd better be a mirrorball …” 🎶🪩

Holy crap! 😯

Wow, 26 students signed up for my Interface Prototyping seminar this semester, starting tomorrow. Let’s see if it will actually be that crowded… 😅 Looking forward to it! 😊

@nice2meatu Wow! Glückwunsch!!!🙌🎉

Added my two cents …

✍️ 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.

https://matthiasott.com/notes/lazy-and-prompt

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.

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.”,

I think I found a name for it.

✍️ New post: Buckle Up

I recently added a “Failed Webmentions” view to my Craft CMS #Webmention plugin. Opened it before #IndieWebCamp Düsseldorf and found line after line of automated probing. Just shipped v1.3.0 to deal with it and wrote a bit about it:

The client is now sending their own CSS.
