I wouldn't call it completely broken; Pressing buttons still does something, it looks like an OR filter instead of an AND. It should be updated to be an AND filter as that's more intuitive.

My website is at https://mulquin.com

I used to care that I wasn't "writing enough" and that I spent more time tinkering with the code than making content. But the reality is that I'm the main audience and that anxiety was coming from potential perception of others.

Tinker away tinkerers!

To be pedantic, it is still a conspiracy, just no longer a theory.

I found it cute until I realised it didn't disappear when you let it finish shrinking, nor if you click the little blue square. Then I found myself annoyed by it and left the page.

Is there a way for you to split the configuration out into a separate file? That way you can tell it to explicitly ignore it altogether.

They do it intentionally to annoy you in particular.

To be fair, the blog post does not explicitly say anywhere that the week was for bug fixes only.

Roblox has already begun to roll something out. I’m anticipating about 6-12 months we’ll start hearing news about privacy concerns and all these photos of children have been leaked.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic about enshittification being a fading fad. I'm seeing non-technical people start to use it now.

The design looks like it was made in a day with v0, that’s why it feels soul-less. It uses typical Vercel-esque design language.
