If you're using container queries in #css, I recommend creating a root container to replace most media size queries.I said that at #CSSDay last month, and @css pointed out it can cause issues (thanks!) – which sent me down a rabbit hole of intertwined specs and browser bugs. Here's what I found:https://www.oddbird.net/2023/07/05/contain-root/The result? I still recommend it! But with a small workaround to handle the browser bugs, while we wait on the proper fix. It should work for most sites, so try it out!

I just shared my grilled vegetables with Tim Berners-Lee. 😮 We talked about theater.Sometimes it's nice to remember how new (and human) this whole project is.

Oh sure, of course NFTs aren't worth anything - but the AI is still real, right?right?

Like all humans* I just string together a series of probable words in response to a prompt, with no concern for the meaning or implications or relation to reality. Do not think, only speak. Experts refer to this behavior 'general intelligence'.

I like to consider the vast history of humanity and imagine that there's always been someone, somewhere, looking around and thinking "oh fuck no, this is some bullshit"

@simon What makes this hard currently is that many of the loudest advocates *are explicitly* talking about skynet (or "digital god" or whatever). And it seems like they're using this history of the term as cover with a general audience.

We need unions. And we also need employee-owned collectives that reject eternal growth, increased production, and shareholder profit as the goals of our labor.The infinite growth model is destroying our world. We can build alternatives.

"Google, Amazon, and Microsoft control seventy-five percent of the cloud computing market. Meta and Google own half of the fiber optic cables supplying internet services across continents."…"So what did GAMM do? They convinced us that our notetaking apps require an internet connection and forty thousand dollar GPUs located on a server three hundred miles away."https://www.fromjason.xyz/p/notebook/any-technology-indistinguishable-from-magic-is-hiding-something/

If cool URIs don't change, maybe they shouldn't be managed by landlords and rented on a year-to-year basis.(it seems to me that avoiding link rot should be treated as a platform issue, not a slogan for scolding people who didn't successfully predict the future or treat a webpage as a lifelong commitment)

you can say my css isn't real programming, but I say your whatever thingy isn't a real language - so I guess we're at an impasse. everyone gets sent to bed without a programming language. this is what happens when you refuse to share with your sister. i hope you're happy.

Trimmed the bowls this evening. Probably the most consistent set of anything I've done.Used a rubber bat for trimming, which was a first for me. Worked great - no wads of clay or giffin grip arms to deal with.

CSS mixins & functions are coming! And the best way to prepare is by re-visiting CSS variables.Don’t let the Guaranteed Invalid value & Invalid at Computed Value Time behavior trip you up. Watch my CSS Day talk, or book a workshop to go in depth with modern #CSS!https://www.oddbird.net/talks/mixins/

I'll be missing out on the big masonry conversation starting soon at the CSSWG meetings in Paris, because I'm not in Paris, and it starts at 1am here.I did enjoy the recent Webkit blog post about item-flow: https://webkit.org/blog/17219/item-flow-part-2-next-steps-for-masonry/But I need sleep before the end-of-day/7am scope topics.
