Is there a way to shoot video on iPhone without pausing the music that’s playing? I’m assuming people with kids who like to dance know why this is annoying

@tante kind of like the websites that use your ip location to persistently impose the local language on you

I can’t get over the rapid shift in power dynamics where various blue collar workers are going on strike and earning 20% to 40% wage increases while tech workers are being laid off by email and threatened with losing their jobs if they don’t take their Zoom calls from the office.

I keep wanting to do a small JS project to get a better feel for the state of the language and ecosystem but then people in the know can't recommend me any good "state of the art" toolchain/structure ("we use X but that's considered legacy many others use Y") so I look for some project's documentation on how to set things up and for some reason after 3 hours having read through half the basic setup docs my CS degree magically catches fire.

@tante I watched a video explainer if that new Bun js runtime and I felt short of breath with anxiety

Any recommendations for a YouTube video downloader? Either windows or Mac is fine. Just need one that works but doesn’t feel like malware

@Edent perfect. I guess this is the tool behind all the dodgy looking GUI ones

"Grift Shift" might be the most important term to fully understand and internalize when reporting or talking about tech.

@tante what’s the best explainer?

Giving Fairphone shit because while trying to build a long-term viable, sustainable and socially and economically fairer device they also think about the people in the real fucking world who are supposed to use them and offer them the software most of them rely on (like Google Apps) is more toxic purism than I can stand.

People who are willing to suffer in their life by using something different, something slightly incompatible to what the rest of the world uses already do install roms and run whatever on their machines.

Getting real actual people to buy a phone that's not built to be thrown away in a year of two, that highlights the values of sustainability is a huge win.

And making the medicine ("your phone might not be as fancy as your peers' phones") taste sweeter ("for 8 years you have access to all the applications you need for your life to function within a digital society") is just a smart move.

@tante this is kind of the essence of why I’m so critical of UX posturing

@tante thanks. It’s from my last article which I have been riding for too long now. Need to get the follow up finished https://fasterandworse.com/the-aura-of-care/

Can any css grid experts help me understand this?

grid variant a is:
grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(300px, auto))

grid variant b is:
grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(300px, 600px))

A has the behaviour I want in B where it prefers to fill empty horizontal space with columns rather than stretch the column width. Why does adding an absolute max value in the minmax() make it prefer stretching the column instead of adding more?

Codepen: https://codepen.io/stevesydney/pen/xxmbNav

@fasterandworse@hci.social avatar

For anyone interested, here’s how I mitigated the shitty behaviour of variant A when there are only one or two grid items. It gives them a width constraint… kind of. From the codepen:

“I've added ::before and ::after pseudo elements to the grid container to insert two superfluous grid items at the end of the flow. The first spans two columns and the second a single column.”

Updated codepen: https://codepen.io/stevesydney/pen/xxmbNav

FYI @urlyman @BradRubenstein ☝️

fasterandworse,
@fasterandworse@hci.social avatar

@BradRubenstein @urlyman ah hah, good spot!

The column min width is 300px and the grid gap is 25px and the body has a padding of 25px either side. So I have a media query which implements this grid over 675px. Anything under defaults to a vertical stack of rows.

I’ve updated my codepen worth example D to demonstrate this.

https://codepen.io/stevesydney/pen/xxmbNav

fasterandworse,
@fasterandworse@hci.social avatar

@BradRubenstein @urlyman ok this is amazing. Your solution with the span 1/-1 didn’t quite do what I wanted but a small tweak - remove the span, does everything I wanted!

Check my updated codepen with Example E credited to you. https://codepen.io/stevesydney/pen/xxmbNav

“the pseudo element starts at the beginning of the grid, meaning it takes its own row, and extend to the furthest possible column which forces the grid to generate as many columns as our min argument will allow within the viewport space”

fasterandworse,
@fasterandworse@hci.social avatar

@BradRubenstein @urlyman I can’t tell you how happy I am. Thanks so much for your help

fasterandworse,
@fasterandworse@hci.social avatar

@BradRubenstein @urlyman but we don’t have to do that in Example E. Max width on the items themselves let’s the column expand around them creating the appearance of a bigger gap between columns

Somebody at Google thought they’re being funny. I don’t think this is funny. It’s wrong. The exact opposite should be true. Whatever remains must not be an empty page.

If your primary source for announcing upcoming features and behind-the-scenes content is an X-Twitter account, and not an RSS feed you own, you're doing it wrong.

Note that this does not mean you can not also use your account(s) of choice as secondary channels for communication efforts.

If you are a browser company claiming to inspirit what the internet can be, I'll be expecting more.

Just my thought of the day.

@axbom browser companies are ux companies. They have no interest in what the web can be
