Radiohead 2025 jukebox

by

As a long-time Radiohead fan I was happy to see video of their first gig in many years and although did enjoy the set I don’t have the feeling I’m missing out on anything really. Great songs, great musicians but nothing new, nothing really unexpected (not counting a couple of songs that they only very rarely perform live).

I watched the vid and then switched to a The Smile live show from 2024 and (although) it’s very different and -to me- a lot more relevant than what Radiohead is doing now which (to me) seems “just” a rehash of past greatness maybe?

Opt-out of LinkedIn’s AI scheme now (last day Nov. 3rd 2025)

by

If you prefer your content/ data not to be used to train LinkedIn’s AI, you can opt out at https://www.linkedin.com/mypreferences/d/settings/data-for-ai-improvement (but only until tomorrow, Nov 3rd?).

Crazy that this requires an explicit opt-out by the way, it really should be opt-in (so off by default).

More info about this can be found at tweakers.net by the way.

Feel free to share 😉

Die ochtend in het bos

by

Deze ochtend op dagelijkse wandel in het “Mechels Bos” met onze iets grotere hond (Maya, Roemeense adoptiehond met naar we vermoeden wat collie en wat berghond genen, ze is idd groter dan Mamita onze quasi-chihuahua) hoorde ik een vreemd geluid. Luister hieronder even (geen bewegend beeld, maar foto van hier in de buurt); het beest bleef een hele tijd stil en het is niet heel luid;

Ik dacht even aan een everzwijn (die zitten hier ook) maar aangezien die niet in bomen klimmen en het geluid wel degelijk van boven in de bomen kwam heb ik het opgenomen en naar m’n vrouw gestuurd die een vogelgeluid-identificatie-app heeft draaien en het zou dus … een raaf zijn! 🙂

Improving LCP the wrong way

by

Performance hack seen on a customer site; fix the bad LCP (due to an animation in revslider) by loading an inline (base64’ed) png image which according to FF is broken and later in the rendering process hiding & removing it.

Even though that image is not *really* used, tools such as Google Pagespeed Insights pick it up as the LCP image and the score is “in the green”.

Not sure this is really helping performance (spoiler: it’s not), but Pagespeed is happy and so is the customer. Crazy!

Heads-up: Autoptimize Pro price increase for 2025

by

It’s been 2 years since AOPro was launched and a lot has happened in that time; bugs were squashed, improvements were made and some great features were added. Taking that into account on one hand and increasing costs from suppliers on the other: prices will see a smallish increase as from 2025 (exact amounts still to be determined)

But rest assured; if you already signed up, you will continue to pay the lower price, also when renewing. Same if you sign up before the end of the year too by the way, so if you’re considering switching on Autoptimize’s Pro features, now might be the moment! 🙂

Whatever you do, if you’re an Autoptimize users or not, if you’re an AOPro customer or not, have a great end of year! Peace and love to you and your loved ones, whomever you may be!
