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!

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. 🥰) 🍋

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

This episode was incredibly good! It’s super interesting that HTML imports would actually be possible (and also that they might be called <rupert> – and include lazy loading)! Thank you guys! 👏

🤩 The latest Safari 26 Beta does not disappoint in terms of #CSS features:

⚓️ Anchor Positioning!
🪄 Scroll-driven animations!
🌯 text-wrap: pretty!
🌈 contrast-color()!
⏲️ progress()!
and more!

And this sentence: “We value the principles of progressive enhancement and separation of concerns.” 😉

Great work, @jensimmons and everyone else involved! 👏

I have no idea how to make such knobs accessible, though … 🤔 Maybe range sliders as fallbacks under the hood?

Also, just look at those numerals by @koeberlin 😍
