Typographic Scales in CSS with :heading(), sibling-index(), and pow() https://www.alwaystwisted.com/articles/building-typographic-scales-with-headings-sibling-index-and-pow
Just went down a confusing rabbit hole because it appeared out of Nine Inch Nails's free "Ghosts" albums, Tidal had 1-4 and 6 but not 5. Then it turned out they had 5 but had classified it as a single (it's 70 minutes long)
I need a few—probably 3—of an "office busy light" product like this https://amzn.to/4b1vvUZ for a home office setup. But:
1. They all cost like $50 which seems like *way* too much for an LED on a stick
2. That cost seems to mostly pay for software that directly integrates with Microsoft Teams. I have no need for integration with Microsoft Teams and in fact kind of anti-want that.
3. I want to write my own automations and it's not clear if they have an API
Is there a cheap/DIY version of this?

@simonSimon Willison In addition to what's already been mentioned, I find the concept of claw agents taking the *initiative* and making suggestions to improve any process they have access to quite appealing. If you're willing to give them full access, they could, theoretically, suggest ways to improve your daily life in general. The key difference is doing stuff you don't even know you need improving.

Zahalkaworld: an artist’s archive – in pictures
The Artist (self portrait) 1988 from the series Resemblance II
Through her work, Anne Zahalka offers a critical analysis of cultural and environmental tensions, often using humour and playfulness as a tool for examination. Zahalka employs photography, painting and photomontage combined with darkroom techniques, later adopting digital methodologies.
Bringing up my quarterly complaint that there isn’t a service that all news services use for micro-payments so I don’t have to subscribe to 100 news sources.
I’d love to give you money to read an article, but I’m not subscribing for one article.
Wrote something a bit personal today.
18 years in healthcare admin at Duke → coding bootcamp → Django developer → Core Contributor → DjangoCon Communications Chair.
The Django community was a huge part of how that journey worked. Felt worth saying out loud.

This is fucking wild, especially TikTok’s responses https://www.ign.com/articles/tunic-night-in-the-woods-publisher-says-tiktok-is-creating-and-running-racist-genai-ads-for-its-games-without-permission
Looking beyond Mastodon.social and Mastodon.online, our big project to support the Mastodon network of #fediverse servers this year is a series of experiments to replace the `join mastodon.social` button with a button that recommends a server running default Mastodon from an opt-in pool that we will be hand-selecting to start.
We're also going to work on the #ServerDirectory this year.
This starts with moving the directory to a new pull-request-based system so admins can submit, update, or remove entries themselves.
Another change we want to make is to add more and new ways to “classify” different types of servers including demographics, interests, and geographic regions.
Once we have that kind of information, we can start to explore new ways to incorporate it into the onboarding process. Stay tuned...

Hey, you, reader:
Ever been browsing someone's blog, website, repo -- even their social web profile -- and thought to yourself "Wow, that's really neat. I love what they did here!"
Consider telling them! Someone on here made a post a while back encouraging people to do just that, and I've tried to make a conscious habit of contacting the authors of neat little indie and smolweb sites.
Email, guestbook, comment; whatever it might be, consider reaching out somehow to share your appreciation. You might be surprised at how much it makes their day.
You might also be surprised to discover how much making their day makes yours, too.
“An AI Called Winter” <https://dustycloud.org/blog/an-ai-called-winter-neurosymbolic-computation-or-illusion> by 
@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber is an extremely balanced post. The distinction between AI as a field and tech in it, including modern approaches; and AI industry, with all the deaths in its wake; is particularly important and novel to me. We need such sane views, and we need them direly.
And the subject is fun and makes me want to learn Datalog again. Any suggestions for resources / software?
Maybe a more compact way of putting my ruminations on wealth from the other day, but I roughly think of wealth in four or so strata:
- Don't have enough to afford essentials
- Rents the essentials
- Owns the essentials
- Owns someone else's essentials
I think folks in that third category need, as a whole, to recognize that they have more shared political interest with the first two categories than with the fourth.

@ftranschelFabian Transchel "I can get LLM corruption out of all the software in my computer except my web browser and password manager", in addition to being at this point afaik still aspirational, is kinda… that's not a good outcome. The web browser and password manager have extreme permissions and extreme capacity to do harm.
@ftranschelFabian Transchel In addition, I have committed a tremendous error which is now coming back to bite me: I installed software written by BlueSky PBC

One of the 2 images I brought home from the Canaries. It must be nice to be a flat-earther, you can capture all of these beauties from your garden, for the rest of us, we have to travel south to actually witness what's beyond the horizon.
A very short, not even 3h exposure of the Skull and Crossbones nebula, NGC 2467
Still thinking about this tweet.
