Carl Pei Thinks the Phone of the Future Will Only Have One App | WIRED:

"I believe that in the future, the entire phone will only have one app—and that will be the OS. The OS will know its user well and will be optimized for that person."

Gee, I sure hope not. https://www.wired.com/story/carl-pei-thinks-the-phone-of-the-future-will-only-have-one-app/

I turn 13 on @codepen in June, so here are my 13 most hearted demos:

1️⃣ 1092 ♥️ #CSS infinite #scroll gallery https://codepen.io/thebabydino/pen/XJrYqGb - my only demo to ever get to 1K ♥️ without being in most hearted of the year first

mostly CSS scroll-driven animations + tiniest bit of JS (~200 bytes for infinity part)

#cssVariables #cssTransforms #coding #code #frontend #cssTransform #3D #web #webDev #webDevelopment #dev #maths #mathematics #geometry #filter

Attachments:

• gifv: Scrolling a bunch of times back and forth to highlight the infinity part of the demo. Hovering the cards in the gallery makes them rotate around their axis.

At the death of any fuckwit reality tv star who never would've been been famous if tv executives weren't lazy sociopathic cunts desperate for cheapshit garbage "content," I breathe a little sigh at there being one less asshole alive with a better than average chance of destroying civilization.

One of the worst parts of this AI craze is looking at a video of a super skilled artist and seeing 50% of the comments below accusing them of being fake. It took only a few years to persuade people that skill doesn't exist. How bleak.

why is now everyone hyping that "Canada’s DevOps Platform" company product thingie? that's literally just a hosted Gitea, they just don't say that. and given how much they're trying to hide - or deliberately not mention - the fact that it's just Gitea, they strike me as the kind of company that also don't feel a need to contribute back. according to that company's website, it appears like the "company" also just a single dude, which is kinda the worst thing you could have from a business continuity POV.

that's all around pretty scummy and shady behavior. if Amazon would just set up a Gitea instance using some weird name like "Creative Code Collector" (promoted as Amazon C3 because that's what they love to do), we'd all be - rightfully - trashtalking them. why is this other thing being praised? it's still scummy behavior, it doesn't matter who does it.

I should own a bike again.

I sold mine when I moved to my current location, got married, needed cash yadda yadda... My needs for a bike are different now, but it'd feel good to have that option again.

The whole techno-libertarian ideology seems to rely on the idea that if you can't see it, then it doesn't exist, therefore it's not a problem.

#Bluesky's moderation approach is inspired by a toddler's object permanence when playing peek-a-boo.
