I’d really love to work with more clients from the clean energy, climate tech, and green startups sectors going forward. If you know someone, let me know. 💚
“What if the physics of the very system itself – not the misguided politics, not the disingenuous pledges, but the underlying energy imbalance of the planet – has shifted in a way our models haven’t quite kept pace with?”
Maybe someone should tell policymakers that even the risk managers are alarmed by now.

Voted in the state elections against anti-democratic fascists and for the future of our children and the planet. ✅💚
Ohhh yesss!! The CodePen 2 beta is here! 🤩 Can’t wait to dive in.
Congrats to @chriscoyier and team! 👏👏👏
“Amidst all the commoditization there are small human spaces out there, waiting to be discovered, with people working diligently and with care in them. […] That's enough. It always was.”
Beautiful post by @tbaxter 👏
Just published a small enhancement and bugfix release for the #Webmention for #Craft CMS plugin.
It adds two important details though: lazy loading and alt text support for avatar images. 😎

I need a few incoming webmentions for testing (okay, this sounds like a really fishy attempt to generate likes … I promise that it is not 😂). So would you all please like and repost this piece I recently wrote? You can also read it, of course.
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. 🌱😁
Already looking forward to macOS 29 – with completely round windows 😂
…aaand a timely post just appeared in my timeline 😆https://mastodon.social/@arstechnica/116143107161050571
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 … 😕
A promise you adjust when circumstances change isn’t exactly a promise, right? 🤔
And some important additional context – thanks for the reminder, Heather 🙏 (and the pointer, @bastianallgeier): https://bsky.app/profile/heather-buchel.com/post/3mfoofq3w722y

John Oliver is a treasure.
(And I hope you’re not active on that shit site anymore. 😉😉)

… and of course, the background of the OG image is AI-generated – I just had to make an exception for this post. 😉
✍️ New post: Continvoucly Morged Value
Couldn't get out of my head what happened to @nvie’s diagram – and so I wrote down a few premature thoughts about what happens when we mistake the (AI) artifact for the work …
Winning, supreme.
Goosebumps. 👏🏴
#CFCVFB (But still … 🤍♥️😉)
Yes it does. 🤪

“What's dispiriting is the (lack of) process and care: take someone's carefully crafted work, run it through a machine to wash off the fingerprints, and ship it as your own. This isn't a case of being inspired by something and building on it. It's the opposite of that. It's taking something that worked and making it worse.”
@nvie on how Microsoft continvoucly morged his diagram:

Cut off a significant portion of my ring finger‘s tip with a potato peeler today. Can’t recommend. 😂 TIL that an Adrenaline compress will staunch a wound – and that’s what cutmen in boxing use as well.

I still remember being in the audience back then. James is an amazing guy! Looking forward to seeing him on stage again! 😁 (Make sure you’re there, too. 😉 Also check out his book, Feck Perfuction – so good.)
Performance-wise, Safari on iOS apparently doesn’t seem to like the over-engineered CSS custom property calculations for fluid type and all the other stuff in my little style mixer. 🙈
But hey, my personal site is my playground, right? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
My site just was under heavy load from Singapore again LOL. 🤣 Temporarily blocked the whole country via ipset now so that the site is available again …
