PocketBase – Open Source backend in 1 file
Sqlite is de shit. Ik ben daar zo content van. PocketBase was created to assist building self-contained applications that can run on a single server without requiring to install anything in addition. The basic idea is that the common functionality like crud, auth, files upload, auto TLS, etc. are handled out of the box, allowing you to focus on the UI and your actual app business requirements.
Pink Lexical Slime: The Dark Side of Autocorrect
Autocorrect fundamentally alters English. Since there are many ways to spell most English sounds, its spelling tends to drift. Autocorrect slows this evolution, enforcing Standard English in spaces where novel or informal spellings would have previously gone unmolested.

Cats became our companions way later than you think
In true feline style, cats took their time in deciding when and where to forge bonds with humans. According to new scientific evidence, the shift from wild hunter to pampered pet happened much more recently than previously thought – and in a different place. A study of bones found at archaeological sites suggests cats began their close relationship with humans only a few thousand years ago, and in northern Africa not the Levant.

Het moment begint misschien wel te komen om hard na te denken over mijn Adobe-abonnement. Ik gebruik Photoshop nog alle dagen, en InDesign alle weken, en Illustrator en Premiere en AfterEffects een paar keer per maand — maar het mindert écht wel. En alle keren dat ik véél te lang moet wachten tot Photoshop goesting heeft om op te starten, wind ik mij op. Veel meer dan twintig jaar shortcuts in de vingers natuurlijk wel. Grmbl.
