“Computers hold tremendous promise for people with many kinds of disabilities. In terms of increasing productivity and mobility, computers can have a far greater impact on disabled people than on other users. … Many of the modifications that make programs easier for disabled people to use are simple and inexpensive to make, and they often have a welcome and unexpected side effect—the programs are easier for everyone to use.”

I've been on a quest to eliminate build steps from web projects wherever possible. The side effect of that is that I've been using vanilla JS a lot more, and in turn have been learning a lot.

I used to *only* work with vanilla JS, and I was actually intimidated by jQuery at first when I started seeing it everywhere.

Learning a framework is always a little risky because you don't know how long it will be relevant. But learning vanilla JS always seems like a good investment for a web dev.

Does anyone else sometimes get the feeling that a person in a TV show or movie is somehow AI generated even though you know they aren’t?

What I mean is, ever since seeing a few Sora clips, sometimes I can be watching a person talking in a show or movie where they are clearly using actors and just start getting the feeling that they are AI generated. Almost like I'm catching fake micro expressions, uncanny facial movements, or something. It's hard to explain.

Does anyone remember the third-party Twitter client, DestroyTwitter?

I used to love that little thing. It was super themeable, and I remember getting all kinds of wild ones like Dr. Pepper, where the entire UI was different shades of maroon.
