… is just to be alive.

Beautiful reminder of why chasing goals and meaning only leads us away from them. A bit related to my longterm goals post from last year.

One of capitalism’s greatest successes is that it’s robbed us of imagination.

We struggle to imagine what life could look like under a different system. How it would be better. How it would be worse. How it would be different.

Utopias don’t exist. They never will. But I refuse to accept this system we toil under—while better than monarchies and fiefdoms—is as good as it gets.

Time and time again, we’ve been seeing companies that go all-in on AI in hopes of not falling behind or standing out while the bubble doesn’t burst. This article has some real life testimonies of employees that are being forced to use AI in their work - even if it makes things harder and makes the results worse.

Obsidian, my note-taking, second-brain, CMS app just got a huge feature: Notion-like databases, here simply called Bases. You can use them with any files in your vault and in my initial testing, it’s pretty powerful!

I’m already using it to manage Cool Links, and looking forward to use it for more of my stuff in the future.

What exactly is this site? I don’t know. But it looks awesome.

I always have trouble understanding SVGs, but thanks to this article, I will have teensy bit less trouble than before. Josh’s articles are always a gem with all the interactivity and this is no exception.

CSS is finally getting functions! And if you’re struggling to think of good use cases for them or thinks they don’t make sense at all Una will change your mind real quick.

Too bad they’re still only supported in Chromium and are probably ways off from being usable in production. But it’s nice to get a glimpse of what the future holds.

Sharing Ahmad Shadeed’s posts here kinda feel like cheating at this point. They’re always a gem!

This one goes extremely in-depth into redesigning the hero layout of Time.com. Ahmad explains his thought process on every step of the way, and dives into a lot of fun, new-ish CSS principles like container and style queries, :has, grid and even text wrapping!

A masterclass, really.

Finally! I’ve been using uBlock Origin on my desktop browsers since it’s existed, and it makes the commercial web usable. Now it’s finally available for iOS Safari (maybe on the Mac too?)

Safari has had some ad blockers for a while, but none were as good as this one. This one blocks ads, trackers, and even allows hiding some page elements you select, just like the desktop version.

A must-have in all my web browsers.
