If your website is full of AI-generated copy and stock/AI images pretending to showcase your projects, why should I trust you with my money? Show me what you've actually done, not what AI can pretend you've done.

Today I learned that Adobe is still supporting Dreamweaver. I assumed it was long dead. Is there anyone I know who still uses Dreamweaver?

Do you still use bookmarks/favourites in your web browser? I’m curious because it seems like fewer and fewer people I talk to even know this feature exists anymore. Are bookmarks still part of how you use the web?

With the upcoming referendum, let’s embrace our Alberta heritage and settle things the old Stampede Wrestling way. How do we add a “Loser Leaves Town” stipulation to this referendum? #AlbertaPolitics #yyc #Alberta

Has anyone ever gone to jail for removing the tag from their mattress or pillows?

Question for the #Drupal community: Who misses #Drupal7? It wasn't perfect, but it was approachable, productive, and easy to reason about. Somewhere between Drupal 8's power and complexity, it feels like some of that was lost. What do you miss most?

For those who've used Cloudflare's emdash #CMS, what's your experience been like? How does it compare to #WordPress? Has anyone made the switch to emdash and not looked back? #WebDev #Cloudflare

Google promised a new Google Home Speaker would be released in "Spring 2026", six years after their last one. Google always delivers exactly what they say they will, on time, right?

For years I've taught that the homepage isn't the front door for most users. They arrive from Google and land on the page that answers their question. This article suggests AI is pushing that trend even further. Do you agree? webdesignerdepot.com/the-dea…

Android 17 is finally here! I was expecting a little more notice and fanfare prior to release. Does anyone else miss the days of the Android dessert/sweets codenames?

More and more, I see people label any unbelievable image or video as “AI generated.” Yet digital manipulation predates modern AI by decades. Is “AI” becoming a generic label for anything that looks altered?

I reinstalled LM Studio and browsed the Hugging Face list of local AI models. For those running local models, what do you primarily use them for, and which model works best for you?

I think I am going to start an #Alberta citizen petition for a referendum on whether we should hold a referendum about having a referendum. Who wants to sign it? #abpoli

Email has been around forever and is used by millions of people every day, yet many people still don’t know how to use filters, folders, or basic inbox organization. We really need to treat practical technology skills as basic education.

The Alberta voter list incident is more than a mistake. It shows how poorly sensitive data is handled. Millions were exposed through preventable misuse, not a hack. Digital security is everyone’s responsibility, and we need to take it seriously.

Outside Quebec, Canadians still don’t have access to a true, free credit freeze mechanism. With the Alberta voter list leak, it’s time for that to change, and maybe even make “frozen” the default. Protections still aren’t consistent across the country.

I am cleaning out the bookshelf in my office this afternoon. Why am I hesitating to recycle my Flash and ActionScript books? Flash is never coming back, I don't need this information anymore.

As a podcaster, this is a question I ask often: what makes a podcast a #podcast? If a radio show distributes its audio online, is it a podcast? Does a podcast need to be distributed via RSS?

There are so many AI LLM models coming out these days, I can't keep up with them all. I just today learned about Z . ai and Kimi.

No need to pay for an AI tool to help with your coding, when you have the McDonald's chat bot for free.
