Using OKLCH in CSS to match document theme to MacOS defaults

I've never understood how hypertexts with a footer and infinite scroll work (they do not).

- Optimizing for time on page (they are not)?
- A secret puzzle for devoted page viewers (nope)?
- Accidental use of a footer (probably)?

Feels like an opportunity for a mini game like "Catch the footer!"

I recreated Jef Raskin's 1987 'Canon Cat' user environment and observed myself as I lived in it for a week.

Implementation details, surprises, and more in the essay.

(Why touch grass when you can read 3.2k words on user environments?)

A screenshot of a "Subscription Renewal" email from Apple Inc. In the upper-left corner is a black Apple Inc. logo. In the upper-right corner is the text "Subscription Renewal." In the email body, there is a large Apple Music app icon with a white musical note and a pink gradient background. To the right of the Apple Music icon, in the email body, the following text appears from top to bottom: "iTunes Match iTunes Match iTunes Match (1 year) $24.99/year"

Ahh, yes. The annual email reminder about my iTunes Match subscription renewal. Since 2011: iTunes Match.

I have **no idea** what happens if someone cancels that. And at this point, I'm too afraid to find out.

Take your $25 fear fee, Apple.

A screenshot showing two Safari web browser windows side-by-side. The left browser window displays the 2Doc website. The right browser window displays the same 2Doc website with overlaid text showing all 79 heading elements and 149 links that a screen reader program would read aloud.

"One hundred and fourty nine links. And one of them is the one Simon is looking for.

...

Simon quickly gave up. He simply cannot use this site.

There are too many things on this page. And there are too many semantics he doesn’t understand."

A screenshot showing the macOS media player app IINA playing a live video stream while in mini player mode

Want to play YouTube videos directly on macOS?

Use IINA, the excellent & open source media player.

1. Get IINA: iina.io
2. Get yt-dlp: github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp
3. Set yt-dlp path in IINA (Settings > Plugins > Online Media > Settings > Use custom yt-dlp)
4. Open YT URL in IINA
5. Success!

Enjoy!

CSS is getting support for functions, so I made a small utility library for useful things. It's also a copy-pasteable reference. WIP.

A four-panel comic depicting a person using a web browser on a laptop: Panel 1: the person sits at a desk with the laptop in front of them, with their right hand on a wireless mouse. Panel 2: a zoomed-in view of the person's web browser with the mouse point hovering over the refresh icon. Panel 3: a zoomed-in view of the person's hand clicking on a wireless mouse. Panel 4: the person sits at a desk with the now-rotated laptop in front of them, with their right hand on a wireless mouse.

Apropos of nothing, other than a reminder for myself and my fellow builders of fine handcrafted hypertext pages and sites:

A pragmatic guide to modern CSS colours - part one Whether you've got a firm grasp on modern CSS colour capabilities, or you're thinking 'I struggle to understand why I should use modern CSS colours at all', then the first part of this article series,...

Are you the type of dev who just copies and pastes hex codes?

If so, I've written an article over at @piccalil.li just for you!

I take a look at some of the new CSS colour features that are most useful for those who don't really care about colours.

💀 hiding* not "hidin"

Annnnnnnd it's open, updated, and I'm customizing. Ha!

Say, Oliver, do you have any absolute must-have Vivaldi tweaks, flags, or prefs? As in, "hidin/showing this and disabling/enabling that makes Vivaldi *it* for me"

I have yet to configure Vivaldi, but its breadth and depth of customization are quite impressive/terrifying. And I say this as someone who genuinely likes customization. It's seemingly endless. Have put it off for a year!

I should give it a proper go and try maining it.

Making a new, separate app for a product—namely, Podcasts as a product—and removing Podcasts from YouTube Music makes sense.

1. Sufficient time has passed since sunsetting Google Podcasts
2. YouTube Podcasts as a site + app can serve as an exciting press release. Success!

YouTube Music Premium (part of YouTube Premium) is a frustrating, could-be great product.

Access to YT and YTM's enormous library? Yep.
Ability to add YT videos to music playlists? Yep.

Podcasts in YTM? Nope. Podcasts in YTM muddy everything. The product is called YouTube Music. Emphasis music.

Free growth strategy for the YouTube Music team:

- Phase 1: Let users hide/disable "Podcasts" from Home, and "Podcasts" and "Popular Episodes" from Explore

- Phase 2: Roll everything "Podcasts" into a new "YouTube Podcasts" app. Crowd goes wild.

- Phase 3: Triple-down on YTM (e.g., official API)

close the apps (swipe up! force quit!)
close the computer(s) (or sleep w/e)

and now?

I love making websites.

HouseFresh - Air purifier reviews backed by real tests Our tests reveal what manufacturers won't tell you. We buy devices with our own money so we can write unbiased reviews. We are a fiercely independent site.

Checking out housefresh.com while considering sensors and additional purifiers, I realized a purifier with PC fans might be in my future.

Had never thought of using a large filter with PC fans for a purifier. Makes sense!

Now, it's time to determine which kits are the least visually displeasing.

In the center of the image, next to the CGI model, a large blue circle with the letter 'X' is displayed. The word 'Doubt' appears to the right of the blue circle with the letter 'X'.
