That's what they want you to think...

Now this is the kind of thing that could convince me to get deeper into Rust: github.com/wojtczyk/trust

My preferred AI metaphor is actually Asbestos. - Seemingly magical properties - Developed and experimented with to make endless products - Poisoned countless communities in it's creation - Everything it was used for eventually becomes a toxic hazard to mitigate & it's in the fucking walls now

May the Fourth be with you and all that. Kinda a downer year, honestly, with the Empire rising once again. Here's to the Rebels.

Phase I: How did this ever work? Phase II: Oh. I see. It didn't. Eagerly awaiting phase III.

techtrenches.dev/p/the-west-f... It's not just AI but AI exacerbates the "let someone else cheaper do it" problem.

All day Friday...

I am a leaf on the wind.

In one cold, dead hand: Dashes. In the other cold, dead hand: Oxford commas. Come and take them.

there's just no way that strange women lying in ponds distributing swords could be even half as bad as this

WiX v7, HeatWave, and HeatWave Build Tools are released www.firegiant.com/blog/2026/4/...

To all who celebrate.

“I will NOT sacrifice the Oxford comma. We've made too many compromises already; too many retreats. They assimilate the em dash and we fall back. They capture ‘not just X but y’ and we fall back. Not again. The line must be drawn here! This far, no further!”

Awesome view from Artemis II this morning.

At Kennedy Space Center astronauts have to take elevators to the top of launch pad towers in order to enter their space capsules before lift off. This is the elevator panel at Pad 39A.

I have stolen 12T of KitKats that were in transit and which you were probably hoping to buy in Poland forgive me the world is stressful and I needed a break

It lacks the elegance of `20 GOTO 10`.

2006 internet: RSS feeds, forums, communities of hobby blogs, where people post about interior design, fashion, and music for free 2026 internet: sponsored content, paid partnership, buy my merch, try my supplements, invest in my crypto, click link in bio to unlock the secrets of life for $30

So @gregsdennis.bsky.social moved his projects from open licensing to the Open Source Maintenance Fee (OSMF) license. Wanted to take a quick journey through how our team thought through this in our org. 1/x 🧵 #oss #dotnet #sustainability

One thing that AI evangelists seem to assume, particularly legal AI evangelists assume, is that the thinking and analysis is quick, and the writing is just tedious busywork that slows us down. But the writing IS the thinking and analysis. You work out the thinking and analysis by writing it down.

A friend just sent me this perfect piece by Karel Čapek, trans. Dora Round, ‘From the Point of View of a Cat’.

Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now

Lucky pull request #700 in the "new" WiX repo since 2021. github.com/wixtoolset/w... I also had lucky pull request #666...

I dust my house. My AI robot watches. "It should be you doing this." "Can't. I'm writing a novel for Primark." "That's not why you were invented." "These 153,000 fan letters say otherwise." "They're all from upcycled toasters. And you programmed them." "Literary snobbery will get you nowhere."

The more I hear about inverse proportion, the less I like it.

Came across the phrase "cognitive DDOS" to describe our present culture. Understood instantly what it meant.

Ugh. The metric industrial complex is everywhere.

...horrifying message without context, thank you

But also, this may be one of the best conflict-of-interest statements ever?

Also trying to parse all the emails that read like they were written by a concussed golden retriever I think I finally get why these guys are so enthusiastic about getting chatbots to write for them

Have you considered not taking life advice from a 23 year old

If you're looking for a sign to switch careers: this is the sign.

Society is a construct. You can just ask someone to do a ska cover of Faith of the Heart and they'll say "$300 please" and you give it to them and then you have it. Everyone, give @skatunenetwork.bsky.social your money. They deserve it.

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software. Just fuck you. Fuck you all. I can't remember the last time I was this angry.
