you know how you watch like a feynman lecture or something and you think "great, this is so easy" and then you can't explain it to anyone afterwards?

And if you're using Chrome Canary, you can also try line-clamp: auto 3, which lets you clamp to a height, or 3 lines, whichever is smaller. Let us know if this would be useful for you!

Brian's blog post goes in more depth on line-clamp, but it gets rid of the 3-property cruft you need before -webkit-line-clamp will do anything, and it also adds a line-clamp: auto syntax to be able to clamp to whatever content fits a given height.

It even lets you animate that height!

Attachments:

• gifv: A box with an animating height, where only the lines that fully fit in the current height are shown, and the last such line has an ellipsis at the end of it.

Has anyone remarked yet that vibe coding is the literal antithesis of pair programming, which recognized that trading •more• programmers for less shit code was more efficient? 🤔

Web developers, if you have sites using -webkit-line-clamp, please make sure to test them with Chrome with experimental web platform features enabled!

If you can also test the new line-clamp property, that'd also be great!

Google I/O showed how the industry has seized upon LLMs as the "future" of software. But that couldn't be further from the truth! It is an intensification of the old way. The same features as before, only MORE and FASTER.

It's the same mediocre vision execs have had for 40 years: give customers more tasks to do on your platform, sell them tools to solve the problems you created.

But the conditions that made this business model possible are collapsing.

All four episodes of The Elements of Mutual Aid are now published on YouTube! Spanish subs are still rolling out, and all chapters will be available on PeerTube and the Internet Archive soon!

Check out our learning guide if you plan on hosting community screenings. It's full of useful terms and discussion prompts that could be useful for people new to these concepts.

Thank you to everyone who's supported us and contributed to this project to make it possible! We've been overwhelmed by the amount of love that's been poured into this film, and we feel a deep sense of responsibility to do it justice by sharing these lessons far and wide.

If you've never seen the brilliance of Don Hertzfeldt, I implore you to watch this nine minute short film of his. He just released it on youtube in HD (1080p, audio's great too). It's just so, so good, so unhinged, uniquely hilarious stuff. So good that even if you haven't seen it, you may recognize things from it from others referencing it

Working on some #poster designs to gather stories and information from workers who have lost jobs to #AI or are being forced to use it in the workplace.

Somebody’s running an ad campaign in Icelandic radio promoting free courses on how to use “AI”. The target audience seems to be retirees and older people.

@JulianOliver Maybe. But making your writing worse (or even different) because AI does something seems foolish to me.

Of course, em-dashes can be misused or overused, as can almost anything else. But they are not intrinsically bad and are sometimes essential. Many great writers use them frequently.

On the other hand, LLMs love emoji, and I wouldn’t discourage anyone from reducing their use.
