Abolish ICE

In this episode we rolled back the clock and did a full retrospective on the infamous Harper's Letter. This conversation with @parkermolloy.com was so much fun and what a trip it was travelling back to seemingly simpler times in the discourse. youtu.be/NF-M3Nz0azE?...

Today at 19:00 Paris time, developers from French studio Humble Reeds will demo 3 other French games from other developers, including Oremus. Don't miss it, and pass the word! 🙏 Details in next post ➡️ To wishlist Oremus: store.steampowered.com/app/3857110/... #gamedev #indie #indiedev #gaming

It’s so jarring to see programmers completely change their concept of what code even *is* because they want to use LLMs to generate code that is incompatible with said concept.

"Police officers who use their sidearm in the exercise of these duties will enjoy my support, irrespective of the outcome of the use of force. Officers who fail to make use of their weapon out of a false reticence, should expect disciplinary action.” - Hermann Göring, February 17, 1933

If AI coding is so good, where are the performance numbers? Claude bros know how to measure performance. They just don't. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeU2... - video pivottoai.libsyn.com/20260113-if-... - podcast time: 7 min 34 sec

There were plenty of middle-aged white men in the Nazi group chat. These guys grew up on 4chan but are now fully cooked after 20 years of being inside that mind hive. Long past intern age and this professional racist is probably making $100k

Can't let people find out that the x in "10x developer" stands for 0.08

Latest Zed editor (zed.dev) update has fixes I wanted to the Helix (helix-editor.com) mode, and initial support for Dev Containers. Nice.

Trying to write a blog post but my only free time is midnight to 1am. (First version of this post said 12pm instead of midnight. The AM/PM system, not even once.)

Porn and erotica are important and societally valuable forms of speech, and the defense of them, in the face of state and church attempts at repression, is a necessary political act.

The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

My patreon sub to @ifbookspod.bsky.social expired, so I can only listen to the first 80% of each bonus episode.

I raised this article earlier on a call and said that even if one in 20 people (which is a high guess) doesn't really need it, who cares. There are more pressing disability stories that could be told. Like wheelchairs being broken. Also dynamic disability exists!

The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

Fuck YouTube. I would rather my videos stay removed than edit them to cut out the word gambling. For years, my work was about how loot boxes were gambling, and I used the word because companies didn’t want the word used. I’d sooner lose every video than destroy the point of them. Fuck. YouTube.

The decline of democracy in the US means you can’t visit the US if you commented on the decline of democracy in the US

the core idea that can radicalize people is so simple: there is enough. there is enough food to feed everyone. enough resources to house everyone. money and technology and medicine to stop the suffering of people around the globe. once you accept that there's only one question: why don't we?

Turns out I had a Next.js app deployed on a shared hosting setup that got hacked by the recent React Server Components vulnerability (nextjs.org/blog/CVE-202...). It was a generic attack that was not well suited to my setup, so it looks like nothing bad happened, but I’ve had to do some cleanup.

Turns out my issue with context menus in Vivaldi is not a bug, it's the side effect of a feature and can be eliminated by disabling said feature: forum.vivaldi.net/topic/113960...

The twins will be 6 months old in a few days. They're obviously the cutest babies in the whole world.

For my newsletter, I wrote about that college essay scandal that's gone viral and what everyone is seeming to miss: It's about ATTACKING TRANS PEOPLE!!! www.burnsnotice.com/that-viral-e...

For a while I thought that context menus were 100% broken in @vivaldi.com on macOS. Turns out they’re just a little bit broken: they appear on mouseup instead of mousedown, which breaks platform conventions (and my muscle memory).

I am very contrite.

At first, I thought I could just rotate the hue of HSL colors and call it a day. Since then, I've learned about perceptual color spaces, OKLCH, Bezold-Brücke effect and I still can't always get good programmatic palettes 😅 But I built Color Palette Pro to help get us halfway there: colorpalette.pro

Going to post this again (www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRjg...) because I've been through pseudo-revelatory psychosis twice and I need you to know that everything the LLM tells him is exactly what mania will tell you when you're on the upswing of a psychotic episode. He intentionally gave it a very...

The amount of people I see harassing real artists and even wildlife photographers with accusations of AI is genuinely disheartening, and sadly this is just the beginning

The worst thing AI has done to culture in just a couple years is not that people think AI generated things are real, but that they now think real things are AI generated

ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy

@ollie-williams.bsky.social In olliewilliams.xyz/blog/sanitiz... I don't know if the list of unsafe sinks is meant to be exhaustive, but if yes you can add `insertAdjacentHTML`.

With Firefox enabling sanitizer API in nightly, I'm pretty excited to see if frameworks will pick this feature up sooner rather than later and offer an alternative to "dangerouslySetInnerHtml". I can see a setHTML and setHTMLUnsafe directive pair letting users pass in options to those functions.

The Python Software Foundation was recommended for a $1.5M grant from the National Science Foundation. The terms of the award said PSF could not work on DEI, whether or not the grant funding was used for it. PSF therefore declined the funding. Science suffers, but commitment to core values remains

Autism $peaks raised ~$34m in 2024 and spent 1% on family services and grants to help Autistic individuals. They spend approximately 25% of their budget on lobbying and another 25% on research (primarily on genetic testing and causation, i.e. eugenics). They aren’t trying to make our lives better.
