Actually, people love to work hard

One of the most infuriating tropes that I see repeated in media is executives (usually from boring old companies) insisting that their employees don’t want to work hard. Media outlets dutifully repeat this pernicious lie, despite there being no evidence to back it up, and th...

Defending the open web is not enough

Anil Dash calls it the endgame for the open web, and he's right. But the structural collapse has already started. The indie web is mostly gone, the winners have already left, and defense alone won't fix it. The question isn't how to protect what remains. It's what to build next.

Really interesting piece from Jodi Ettenberg about microdosing a GLP-1 to manage her mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS). She’s noticed “way less pain” and can eat more foods without reactions (yoghurt, oats, mild curry pastes).

[Sponsor] Zed, a Font Superfamily

typotheque.com/blog/zed-a-sans-for-the-needs-of-21century/?utm_source=df

Zed is a type system that was developed with one question in mind: what do readers actually need? Not what looks good in a type specimen, but what works for the widest possible range of readers. We tested Zed with visually impaired patients at a French ophthalmology hospital and found that Zed Text outperformed Helvetica in terms of reading speed across all patient groups. Designed from scratch to perform different functions, it comes in two optical versions — Text and Display — with four variable axes and support for 547 languages, including endangered ones. It is available directly from the designers.

Sample of a variety of lowercase a’s from Zed, arranged in a star pattern.
