Is it crazy to think you are having a stroke or something when it's really just that your glasses are dirty? Asking for a friend. #honest

huge plus one to these recommendations. Channel Zero didn't _always_ quite hit it, but when it did, it was incredible.

ALERT: The Riverbottom Nightmare Band has dropped out of Trump’s Freedom 250 concert.

The closest Trump gets to Elvis is the strong probability he’ll die on the toilet

Today i was laid off as part of the restructuring at Webflow. I am looking for my next role in developer relations, developer marketing, sales engineering, and so forth. If you need someone who can speak Developer, hit me up.

I'd REALLY appreciate it if anyone who sees this would try out my text generators so I can iron out any remaining bugs. Please, and thank you! trek.epicrandomness.com

I learned coding with Applesoft BASIC - and encountering books later on the subject I had no idea how complex it got. One example - I didn't know it had error handling. Of course, I didn't know what error handling *was* back then. archive.org/details/appl...

developer.chrome.com/blog/install... I'm guessing that the element has similar limitations as `<geolocation>` (some call it _oddities_, see matuzo.at/blog/2026/ge...) But I'm cheering for any improvement to #PWA installation flow! (+ finally a better API than the `beforeinstall` mess 😄)

What? That doesn't sound like something an alcoholic podcaster would do.

Safari and Firefox change how big sites render based on the domain. TikTok, Netflix, Instagram… even SeatGuru. Chrome doesn’t. Why is that? denodell.com/blog/browser... by @denodell.bsky.social #Browser

Apparently I've listened to 55 thousand minutes of Enya on Spotify.

It's often uneasy for me to share my experiences as a woman in tech, but this job market has me worried for everyone stuck somewhere harmful. I admire everyone who takes on "women in tech" speaking gigs but I am also angry for them and us. ohhelloana.blog/woman-in-tec...

Third time watching Andor and the damn robot grieving for Marva makes me cry every time.

TIL I learned Peter Murphy and Boy George did a song together and it is quite beautiful. This is the base version but there's also a remix by Delerium. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsZz...

can we maybe stop the trend of the 'Share' button being how you download crap? my brain never associates sharing with downloading

New post from my blog: "Another Game: My Little Mortal Combat" https://www.raymondcamden.com/2026/04/25/another-game-my-little-mortal-combat

This is NOT complete, and needs balancing out the wazoo - but I present to you my mashup of My Little Pony and Mortal Kombat - "My Little Mortal Combat". Enjoy. cfjedimaster.github.io/webdemos/my_... Warning - the game does *not* save currently.

This is your reminder that in the Spotify desktop app, you can mouseover the date (which is usually a year) to get the *full* date. Helpful for things like Group Therapy that have releases multiple times a month.

Any of my Netlify peeps know when this bug will ever get fixed? github.com/netlify/cli/... I completely can't run a local env anymore - and haven't been for months.
