Why I gave the world wide web away for free | Tim Berners-Lee My vision was based on sharing, not exploitation – and here’s why it’s still worth fighting for

Tim Berners-Lee explains why he gave away the web for free: β€œI believed that giving users such a simple way to navigate the internet would unlock creativity and collaboration on a global scale (...) In order to succeed, therefore, it would have to be free.”.

What are OKLCH colors? Article about the OKLCH color model.

Seems like this would be super useful for defining different shades.

"oklch is a newer color model that is designed to be perceptually uniform. This means that colors are much more accurate in terms of how humans perceive them and it makes working with them much easier."

I recently dove into the world of #OpenCart . I'm not fond of the ecosystem. Unlike the #wordpress community that I am used to, it is very unwelcoming. Despite it being an #opensource project, there are very few free extensions availible. Here is an extension that I created for practice. Enjoy.

Can’t express how much of a fan I am of all things WP CLI / Bash, so Austin Ginder sharing years of experience with WordPress bash scripts into a new standalone CLI: CaptainCore Do is cool! It’s 100% open source, MIT licensed, and built to streamline WP site management from the terminal.

When I got involved with Front End North, one of the things I wanted to achieve was an affordable ticket price.

My inspiration was WordCamp London, which priced its tickets so that the whole community could come - not just developers, but testers, designers and writers too.

People print websites, so I wrote an article over on @piccalil.li about how to make sure they don't feel the need to pull out all their hair while printing yours.

Decimate a rainforest, spend a fortune on some new ink cartridges, unjam the mechanism, print off the article, and give it a read.
