Most of the books on productivity come from places of privilege.

The biggest motivation killer remains a constant growing list of things.

I find it difficult to answer the question “is [blank] accessible?” Because usually there’s like 10 levels of explanation required to actually answer the question.

Things like accessibility compliance, inclusive usability, accessibility for different people and needs, all affect the answer.

The constant scroll is associated with a worry state.

Social network site can be at the end only a distraction.

Is it relevant to maintain a part nobody seems to use?

About the 3 frameworks in 2023. Their paradigms shift and try different approaches to build UI.

Bring value to the users

The content is more important them the tool. As such, the content should be usable in different tools.

Why these predictions are false, as Mastodon is still up and running.
Or will they apply in some years?

La prise de décision par consentement se différencie de la prise de décision par consensus : en consensus tout le monde dit « oui », en consentement, personne ne dit « non ».

Le consentement implique qu’une décision ne peut être prise que lorsqu’il n’y a plus d’objection raisonnable à celle-ci. Tant qu’il y a des objections, l’ensemble du groupe est mobilisé pour bonifier la proposition.

About working: 30% of the UK population is inactive, and 63.8% of the population are either overweight or clinically obese.

Another fact are people suffering from procrastination. They have enough knowledge but they have an action problem.

Stay close to the standard. Expose APIs instead of wrapping them.

The author asks for less HTML-in-JS and demonstrates it with the Next meta tags example.

Whenever a problem can be solved by native HTML elements, the longevity of the code improves tremendously as a result. This is a much less alienating way to learn web development, because the bulk of your knowledge will remain relevant as long as HTML does.

Growing up in a poor family, I learned not to waste things, save money, reuse old stuff out of necessity, thus I’ve never approached minimalism from a privileged point of view. Being immersed in hyper consumeristic rituals has never been my experience.

Yup.

The empty big house "promote a way of life that looks unrealistic and fake". About this lifestyle:

Such lifestyle is not attainable by normal people. I mean the regular folks who need to go to work, cook their food, do the laundry, maybe some gardening or else — they can’t afford to spend buckets of money on few hyped products, buy coffee beans from a remote region in South America that cost half a salary at the point of sale. Above all, they cannot keep their place within a spotless private hospital aesthetic, because they actually live in there. They don’t usually give TED talks either, especially not to promote some other form of inspirational American Dream that’s great to sell another book.

They can’t afford to do with less.

Make the logo bigger? Nope.
Delete the logo and make the font size bigger.

On ne dit pas "L'EU fait chier à avoir imposé ses cookie banner, ça ruine le web" mais on dit "Le capitalisme fait chier à vouloir sucer la moindre data qui vient de toi, ça ruine le web". Merci

Toutes ces actions ne sont pas anodines. Elles servent à mettre les plateformes elle-même au centre de l’attention. Les modifications des algorithmes Facebook ou le changement de l’icône d’Instagram sont désormais des faits de société qui font la une des plus grands médias.

En tant que développeur logiciel, cette expérience m’a également ouvert les yeux sur la direction globale prise par l’industrie : le non-respect de l’utilisateur. Les changements permanents empêchent l’utilisateur d’apprendre, de se former, d’acquérir des réflexes.

Avec exemple: d’une manière générale, il est communément admis que chaque citoyen "normal" dispose d’un compte Google, compte connecté à un appareil contrôlé soit par Apple, soit par Google.

Suite aux trillions d*applications et de services divers,

Une nouvelle question se pose, passionnante : comment nous envoyer du texte, des images et du son de la manière la plus simple, la plus efficace, la plus indépendante, la plus pérenne et la plus libre possible ?

Après soixante années d’explosion technologique, l’informatique est arrivée à un plateau. Nous n’avons plus besoin d’innovation, mais de stabilisation. De démocratisation. D’une nouvelle informatique.

In other words, while it seems like there’s never a good time to write about something, the truth is that there’s never a bad time to write about something.

The author arguments in favor of writing. Each arguments against writing is thwarted.

“After all”, they said, “the world doesn’t need yet another opinion.”
