AI is a scam.

2010: You’re holding it wrong 2026: You’re folding it wrong

CSS-Tricks has a new owner! Yes, I've got the keys to the castle, so to speak. And, even after 12 years of working on the site, I'll admit I'm a little overwhelmed and nervous about that. https://css-tricks.com/css-tricks-has-a-new-owner/

Of course. #webcomics #comicsky

Wow the iPhone Duo doesn’t even support Google

I hate how hard it is to get excited about coding now 😩

Many devs are frustrated with management enforcing AI at work, especially when they're required to use it all the time. In a recent video I encouraged people to talk with their managers as much as they can about this, but the issue, at least in some places, is the mandate comes from the very top...

you can't be serious. This reads Meta/Facebook/Insta is looking to grant itself the rights to scrape websites across the open web - and train Meta's AI - if a company after Oct 30, 2026 uses Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp or other Meta services. So every biz. Read that again. Outrageous. 1/5

New Simon Stålenhag book dropped

Where's "adapt or die" when consumers don't wanna pay for slop?

More than that - furries are also keeping those voting machines safe from cyberattacks

How is it almost November already? 🤯

You might not be a professional with a design title - but when you're forced to think about the thing you're making, you're at least doing what designers do. AI didn't "democratize" design. It took away the very thing that could make everyone designers, because it made that thinking optional.

It's nice seeing the birds enjoying the rowanberries outside my window 🐦‍⬛

If coding is solved then what's with all of these bugs?

The Society of Authors has withdrawn from the ill-conceived concession to the dark side that was the "ethical GenAI" charter because of the mass and vocal outrage of authors. Publishers need to be made afraid of this level of anger too.

Wish someone would release patches for my vulnerabilities

Grow like a tree, not a tumor.

With `alpha()` we now have three ways to lower the opacity of a color in CSS. The nice thing with alpha (besides being super easy and probably easier to read) is that it keeps the colour space the same. I took a look at it here if you want more info on it: youtu.be/Pfj9OmvqU0Q

More range sliders with fancy shapes? Let's go! This time with a tooltip showing the value. curve, wave, zig-zag, arc ... Which one do you prefer? css-tip.com/shaped-range... 0% JavaScript and 100% CSS magic (border-shape, shape(), scroll-driven animations, and more!)

Huh, I thought macOS stopped shipping with Ruby and Python, but they're still right there in /usr/bin.

The perfect metaphor for Apple design these days

“The internet is a store but it used to be a library” hits me like a slug to the chest

Somehow I'm having a hard time believing the tech bros running bsky saying they're nothing like the other bootlickers in the industry 🤔

It feels like macOS is constantly trying to trick you into upgrading to 27 if you're on an older version.

Replace 'Knight Rider 2025' with 'Tesla Roadster' and we're good.

I'm dying laughing at how the cat has conformed to her flower shaped bed today

You guys, if we focus on building faster and faster cars it's inevitable we will soon have Faster-than-Light travel. To ensure humanity can travel the stars within our lifetime (thus solving all of our problems), we need to pool all our money and resources into Ferrari™ S.p.A.

One must ask which is more likely: that we have developed genuine, self-aware machine intelligence, or that a piece of text generation software that's been hand-tuned for thousands of hours to portray an intelligent conversationalist is affectively effective on a large number of people?

Good

But who needs regulation?

every developer seems to think more frequent software updates are good and literally every user I've talked to wants stuff to update less

The problem with infinite revenue growth targets is that eventually you run out of other people's money.

its feels like a mass psychosis where tech leaders continue to insist you can be cruel, mean, and hurt the feelings of lines of code

AI will 'take care' of us. #webcomics #comicsky
