@t3dotgg Complexity is a main enemy and threat.

[James Smith @_jamessmith]

@adamwathan Sorry the opposite way around I mean!

[James Smith @_jamessmith]

@adamwathan The activity card design on https://t.co/VspLwL8JCh shows the description unless we detect `any-pointer:coarse`, in which case we switch to use a hover reveal transition. Not something we do often though… better to design without the need for it really.

[James Smith @_jamessmith]

@adamwathan “any-pointer: coarse” imo is the lesser of the evils here. I have it in my tw config boilerplate here: https://t.co/ypzJb2erOl

[James Smith @_jamessmith]

@SaraSoueidan Yes, so annoying. I use “Stay” app to workaround this, and have a keyboard shortcut set to put everything back in its place, have to do it almost every wake from sleep.

[James Smith @_jamessmith]

@schlessera @rfhow Biggest factor for me would be lack of proper content modelling and everything that flows from that. More detail: https://t.co/xj8n656zN9

@johnwbaxter @JayBox325 Everything from scrolling a document up and down to moving windows and your mouse cursor around is noticeably smoother. It’s weird that marketers only seem to target gamers with the high refresh rate benefits

[James Smith @_jamessmith]

@johnwbaxter @JayBox325 new MBP has 120Hz refresh rate and I can really feel the difference compared to my 60Hz LGs (realistically I'd still be limited to 120Hz I think, and would need to plug in with DisplayPort to USB-C which is annoying).

[James Smith @_jamessmith]

@johnwbaxter @JayBox325 I had 2 x 27” 4k (plus 14” mbp) until last week when one literally blew up. Working on 1.5 screens again feels like losing an eye 😤 Looking to upgrade to 144hz but same size.

[James Smith @_jamessmith]

@brianleroux @barneycarroll Was thinking the same thing about “MPA”…

[James Smith @_jamessmith]

@masuga I installed an app called Stay - https://t.co/LBXFkcF5BA - it seems very old and clunky, and takes a good 5-10 seconds after wake to do its thing (putting back all windows into their previously saved positions and sizes), but so far it's an ok solution.

[James Smith @_jamessmith]

@masuga This is slowly draining my will to live. Let me know if you ever discover any workarounds!

[Derek Cavaliero @DerekCavaliero]

@housecor Issue is devs are using these heavy SPA frameworks for non application things (like simple marketing websites). So in that context, it matters a lot.

[James Smith @_jamessmith]

@masuga Yup still me too

[Simen Svale @svale]

I'm not seeing enough web design that adapt to the content.

The thinking is more often that the content needs to slot into a prescribed template, not that the design should reflect and adapt to the available content.

Have you seen good examples of content responsive design?

[James Smith @_jamessmith]

@masuga I have the same problem on my (non-M1) MBP, and it got noticeably worse after Monterey. I don't use Adobe products anymore, so it's not that. Waking from Sleep is generally a hit and miss affair, often forgetting my Logitech mouse settings too, and flickering on/off several times

[James Smith @_jamessmith]

It's been a really long time since I wrote a blog post... Good to get this out, hopefully it helps someone: https://t.co/jC3Y3LBQqS #craftcms #twig

Our beloved friend Mark Lanegan passed away this morning at his home in Killarney, Ireland.  A beloved singer, songwriter, author and musician he was 57 and is survived by his wife Shelley.  No other information is available at this time. We ask Please respect the family privacy

[James Smith @_jamessmith]

@SaraSoueidan I had to replace my old Mackie CR4s (don't recommend as they basically melted, with many similar stories on Amazon). I ended up choosing the Kanto YU4. Very pleased so far, especially with custom EQ-ing via @BoomApp for my scooped-mids taste and compensate for desk resonance.

[James Smith @_jamessmith]

@kilianvalkhof @adamwathan Agreed. This is why I use my own base css that ensures all elements are styled by default, just as you would in a non-tailwind project. Then add Tailwind utilities on top (with Twig for componentisation).
