Cool Link: Abject Praise

There’s hardly a working day in which Safari doesn’t make my life harder. I’m not the only one who feels like that. Alex Russell goes in great detail on how shitty the situation of Apple’s browser is especially because they block any sort of competition in their main platform.

Apple is consistently out-engineered and out-invested by a non-profit with 1/40th the web-derived revenue.

These large, persistent gaps matter to the mobile and web ecosystems because Apple is unique in denying access to more capable, less-buggy engines and actively erecting unlawful barriers to choice when forced by legislation to enable it.

Cool Link: Time-based background colour transitions with Temporal and CSS color-mix

Don’t let the title turn you off in case these words mean nothing to you — Sophie’s website is a joy to open every time, with multiple fun themes to choose from. And she added a new dynamic element to one of them, making the background reflect the sky of the current time of day.

She noted it was hard to get to this result, but reading it, it feels pretty simple to understand. Which is the mark of a good developer and writer.

Cool people and nice views, lots of things to like in Bergamo.

Photos taken on Saturday, 04 Jul 2026

Aerial view of Bergamo from Città Alta, with the historic upper town's towers and cathedral domes in the foreground and the flat Po Valley stretching to the horizon.

Hillside villas and gardens scattered among dense trees on the slopes of Bergamo's Città Alta, with mountains visible in the distance.

Looking up at the Campanone, Bergamo's medieval stone bell tower in Piazza Vecchia, with its decorative clock face and open bell chamber against a bright blue sky.

Wow! This is a mistake I’d probably have done on my first semester in college. Not when working for FIFA.

Though I do wonder if real humans wrote that code before the fix. My guess is no.

I gotta say this person has a lot of self-control.

Really good article about literal and metaphorical midwinters and (tech) work.

Cool Link: WordPress Museum

A 3D museum in which you can walk on all about the history of WordPress, with displays for each release, some of the history behind them, all that. Really cool!
