[Quits Notion ¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

Huuuge #btconf FOMO today …… enjoy your time in Berlin, everyone! 🤗💚🎉 Cheers!

Spent the whole afternoon calculating a quite complex project proposal … AMA! 🤪
(At least the music was good – and it’s satisfying to reach that moment when it looks more or less complete 😅)

Really enjoying the latest Wolf Alice album at the moment. Beautiful production and mixing as well. Just really good music overall! 👏😊

“When you want to include hyperlinks in your PowerPoint presentations, […] you can remove the recognizable underline, yet still maintain the link.

In short, you do this by removing the hyperlink from text and instead laying a transparent shape over the text…”

Haha, that's cute, Microsoft… 😂

I‘m implementing a #GDPR-compliant #cookie #banner at the moment – and will write a #blogtober post about it – but now I’m curious: which (ideally open-source) solution are you swearing by or is working for you? Of course it should block all requests/cookies before consent is given.

“Honestly, I feel like web developers are constantly being gaslit into thinking that complex over-engineered solutions are the only option. When the discourse is being dominated by people invested in frameworks and libraries, all our default thinking will involve frameworks and libraries. That’s not good for users, and I don’t think it’s good for us either.”
