Watched a few highlight videos from the Women’s EURO with my daughter.

I’m trying to help a client pick a good UI framework they can start their product with, but ultimately grow into their own design system and component library. They have started development with React, which isn’t surprising, but they are also open to using a more framework-agnostic approach in the future.
Any suggestions for a really mature and solid, themeable framework as a starting point? Chakra UI? Ark UI? Radix?
“I don’t think there’s anything in principle, that stops machines from being conscious. […] I don’t see why they shouldn’t have emotions. […]
I think they really are thinking. And I think as soon as you make AI agents, they will have concerns.”
A wild interview with Geoffrey Hinton, Nobel Prize winner and “the Godfather of AI”, especially towards the end…
A gate can be really useful for live sound (e.g. when you’re doing a live stream) to cut out unwanted background noise or hum with low latency when you're not speaking. Boz Digital’s “Big Beautiful Door 2” even combines this with a four-band EQ for the closed and open sections and is currently on sale ($49 - 50% with BOZ-JULY-4). I just couldn’t resist… 😅

Berliners: “Sorry, cache only.”
Move fast an cache things.
Cache it till you make it.
The early bird caches the worm.
It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got caching.
Cache me if you can.
Cache Royale.
Big Beautiful Cache.
Ok, I’ll stop it now.
My Mac ran out of disk space (1 TB). Which felt … a bit weird and unexpected. So I opened up GrandPerspective to have a look…
Oh wait, what’s that?
/Users/matthiasott/Library/Caches/Adobe/AfterEffects is taking up how much space?
317G?!? 😅
That’s a lot of cache!
Hear me out: an Aesop Rock lyrics bot. 😊

Damn. In all their desperation, they’re all falling for those #a11y overlays now. 😔
Sounds like Hans had a lot of fun with his synths again doing the F1 movie soundtrack … 😁

TFW you build a site with @getkirby and web platform standards (== semantic HTML, modern CSS, a little bit of JavaScript, and a dash of ARIA) and you look at Lighthouse for the first time …
Looks like industry best practices actually work. (Sorry for using my platform to ruin anyone’s day. 🥰) 🍋
aaaaaaaaaa! There it is!
My friend @koeberlin’s brand new typeface Tausend is out. So, so good … 😍
Oh wow! Beyerdynamic is being acquired by a Chinese company called Cosonic. Feels very AKG-esque, but of course, “nothing will change.”
☕️ I can drink coffee all day, also in the evening, and fall asleep without any problems (although my sleep quality might suffer).
🧉 But give me a cup of mate, and I’ll be wide awake until 3 am. 🪩🕺
😂
Let’s just for a second – purely hypothetical, of course – suppose there was a podcast where some random guy talks to people from the web community about their personal websites and what they’re curious and passionate about.
Who would you love to see as a guest? 🤔
I have no clue how to play in a band, how to record and track, let alone mix a track. But I love music and I could listen forever to Rick Beato interviewing Eric Valentine about every little detail of his productions – this guy really knows and loves his stuff! Incredible! 😮 #music #audioengineering
“Head of Algorithms”
What a job title. 🧙✨😁
And no, it’s not Figma Sites. 😁
That’s Squarespace.
Wow, that body is …… classy?! 😅 #bestpractices
That escalated quickly. ☺️
