What abomination is this?!

Transport to Melbourne Airport is terrible compared to Sydney. Sydney you can catch a train from the airport to the CBD easily. Melbourne, your choices are either a $50 uber, $18 per hour parking, or Sky Bus 😔

Another afternoon spent fighting Docker and WSL 2 on Windows ARM64 👍

Shout out to @luke.geek.nz for providing his @drasi-project.bsky.social knowledge in this PR: github.com/willvelida/s...

I'm pretty generous with my time, with one exception, AI. I love interacting with people. Not their bots.

What's it like in your head?

While I was in Europe, someone DM'd me on LinkedIn asking me about @radapp-io.bsky.social. It's been a while since I've touched it, so it insipred me to build a little sample app using Radius, @daprdev.bsky.social, and @drasi-project.bsky.social: github.com/willvelida/s... #CNCF #CloudNative

The absolute strength of Cody Gakpo to be playing after such a tragic loss 🇳🇱

We're going to see less attackers marking the goalkeeper on corners if this keeps happening #GERPAR

One of us had the right idea at EOFY lunch 🍻

If Lego were on @bsky.app, I'd keep pinging them to BEG for a General Grievous headset.

The far right, including One Nation, are outsourcing their Islamophobia content to Indonesia. Which is so wildly cooked on every level. They are importing hate and the platforms that profit from it to be held to account.

One of the more insightful tech interviews I've listened to this year. Some great opinions on AI programming and open-source. I also learnt about Zig, which I'll have to add to the learning backlog: www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqdd...

I might be developing a little bit of a problem here 😅

And its done. Enjoyable 2 hours spent 😁

It's slowly taking shape

One thing I'd love to know is how they design the internals for all these Lego heads? Must be an involved process.

It's been a while since I've done a build...

Talked with a few folks inside of AI labs (OpenAI, Anthropic) about what they think of the future of software engineering. The “closer” to shipping production code engineers are, the less they believe software engineering will be “solved” fully by AI. The opposite true as well

Here's a subreddit where people ask questions and the goal is to answer it as wrong as possible to help poison AI search results. They recently got DuckDuckGo to report that JD Vance had died of rabies www.reddit.com/r/poisonai

Another push up challenge completed for the year!

Technically, they’re Remains now.

CONFIRMED: GitHub Copilot is powered by hamsters....apparently?

You also don't need to at me in a 1-on-1 message. At this point, I think I'm being trolled.

TIL that you can get Uber to deliver orders from JB Hi-Fi. This is very dangerous for me.

Dapr Day is happening again this year! 🤩 Mark your calendar for Oct 8th! The call for papers has just opened, submit your sessions now! sessionize.com/DaprDay_2026/

Why don’t we ever get this training at work? This too should be an ISO standard so that all enterprise level companies had to do a course and certification on it.

nobody in British politics seems to want to say it but the single biggest driver of their inability to keep a prime minister for any length of time is that Brexit was stupid and ruinous and made everyone’s lives worse

I cannot stress how important the no-hello rule is in IM. Folks are probably just trying to be polite when they just ping "Hello", but in this case, it's not rude to be direct and just ask the question: nohello.net/en/

A story of bringing engineering, craft, a stubborn Mac Studio, Julia, mathematics, and 30 years of programming techniques to solve a problem no one had before, and ending up co-authoring a Google Quantum AI paper. Part 1 of 10 johnazariah.github.io/2026/05/29/saturday-to-coauthor-01-saturday.html

This is someone who has never created anything for or by themselves. You can always clock that shit a mile away. It's really not hard to learn Photoshop or Illustrator. You're just a lazy asshole and a hack

It's cold and dreary enough in Melbourne today that I thought I had to go to rugby practice tonight

Advertise your Bluesky account with a Simpsons image

i think the reflecting pool has gone from “haha what a dumb ass” to “appointing a horse to the senate” level of story here

A fearless, independent ABC that is free for all Australians is worth fighting for. Sign the petition to reject calls to defund the ABC force it onto a subscription model that would price out the Australians who need it most. abcfriends.au/actions/keep...

I may not know AFL as much as I should, but I knew getting rid of Michael Voss was the answer. Come on you baggers! www.afl.com.au/news/1543659...

British politics can be pretty hopeless, but you can always count on Count Binface to liven things up: www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCCV...

People are rightfully concerned about AI performing PR reviews on code generated by AI. I think there is merit for creating/enabling PR policies that force human review over select files as part of the PR process.

What is happening with Docker on Windows recently? github.com/docker/deskt...

Finally managed to update my Bluesky verification.

Thrown into the deep end straight back from honeymoon with work, but it gave me a chance to learn how to run Dev Containers on Podman. I've written a blog post on setting it up here: www.willvelida.com/posts/dev-co...

If Waffle House doesn’t make this their new slogan, then capitalism has failed

Delighted to share some good news 🧪 “This hugely encouraging news shows the life-saving impact of the HPV vaccine, and it’s incredibly exciting to be able to say to this whole generation: cervical cancer shouldn’t be a risk for you,” says Caroline Temmink www.newscientist.com/article/2530...

Only Melbournians know the true joy of taking the 96 during rush hour.

I think anyone who worries about security should read this paper asap. @filippo.abyssdomain.expert does not mince his words.

Getting back into my gym routine has definitely been a challenge. My age is catching up with me 😅

Me: Here's the PR, any feedback just comment on the PR Them: Raised separates issues, respond on Teams without mentioning me, and sent a pigeon carrier with comments
