I bought my ticket to #ATmosphereConf - join me in Vancouver March 2026 atmosphereconf.org

if you're into browsers and still at #39c3, there's an AMA with a Firefox lead engineer today: events.ccc.de/congress/202... I left this morning sadly, so missing it. (I didn't figure out how to use the schedule correctly until too late, missed the Moz community meetup on Saturday too 😭)

if cats could talk to cops... (the #39c3 sticker collection is going a-ok)

hmmm, this does not have all the #39c3 posts @graze.social why would there be a difference? i constructed the feed searching string "39c3", but it's only picking up some of the tagged posts. showing all the not-hashtag posts, based on a quick skim.

german tv before bed

speaker: ok who here is a go programmer speaker: ok who here is a rust programmer *vhoomp* a rush of air across the room as nearly everyone raises their hands speaker: er, i prepared mostly for the go example...

ok yah i got teary seeing the dad wearing his antifa shirt, walking into #39c3 with a group of ~8-10yo girls who started screaming when they saw the giant rocket

cool job alert (US only) @runforsomething.net is hiring a senior technical lead workforcenow.adp.com/mascsr/defau...

packed room for @shibco.newdesigncongress.org's talk at #39c3 on digital identity as a civilizational-level threat

made a #39c3 (EN) feed w/ @graze.social (backfill would be soooo nice to add to these) bsky.app/profile/burr...

walk in to #39c3, immediately stumble on PNW activist lore

aghgh if i selfied, would've made a nice family photo, fucked that up

happy holidays to y'all wokepope didn't melt all the gold and redistribute all the obscene wealth of the church yet but i was out here transmitting it into his brain

thanks

i put airtags in everything a while back, and all it takes is one lost luggage situation validate that it was worth every cent

fun romp through the Chromium graphics stack from an @electronjs.org dev www.electronjs.org/blog/tech-ta...

i'm secretly dancing with you. (featuring Peggy, but in the 80s) www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlRR...

@tessa.germnetwork.com why my germ dm link-in-bio ain't bedazzled like yours? i dropped a facet somehow

new global internet governance, who dis (A/80/L.41 dropped, in case you weren't following agenda item 15 at the 80th session, after the WSIS+20 Review on implementing the existing Action Lines) docs.un.org/en/A/80/L.41

7th time seeing Double Dutch

i kinda love that almost every "never Electron" comment or conversation i see is in an Electron app.

surely someone in the network here is perfect for this job suse.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/Jobsat...

TIL: in India, streaming platforms are collectively + colloquially referred to as "OTT" like in the old "things over internet, not from your telco" way eg "too expensive at the theater, i'll wait to watch it on OTT"

tis the season for a new Mozilla CEO (spoiler: it's not me) blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/l...

this same lady put the last of the Japanese whisky in the Oaxaca hot chocolate it works

an economic indicator based on how many "please come back" emails people are receiving.

Dhurandhar soundtrack on repeat www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... (content warning in case you go look up the movie - the trailer starts w/ some can't unsee gore. i probably will never watch this movie.)

gonna take all them FOSDEM learnings and put em straight to work

for those who celebrate

happy to pay for CityMapper because it's so good and so much better than Google Maps (which is straight garbage for navigation). what's surprising is they charge far less than i expect. i'd certainly pay more.

Bruges was kinda empty, which was nice

this started showing up as first result in the less-than-awesome-bar recently, when i type "maps" i can't figure it out. trust is so low that i assumed it's yet another Mozilla thing-i-didn't-ask-for-and-do-not-want. but yeah, it could be Google thing, or an extension?

Mission control, we have a problem.

using the hardware media keys to control music on a webpage somewhere in my tabs will never not feel like magic.

I want to understand performance of various datastores across different tasks/loads, so had the robot do some lazy benchmarking. One-shot result on a dirty machine so not high-confidence, but kinda directionally interesting.

megastream-enriched algo-smashing, mmmmm

archiving some videos, and yt-dlp with -a and --download-archive is magical. getting URLs in/out of browser context is the awkward part. so weird that you can't select a few tabs, hit <copy> and then paste them as URLs somewhere. good use-case to prototype chaining in Peek probably.

new family holiday funtimes traditions: - referring to all gifts by their HS-codes (at this rate i'll have them fucking memorized) - grouping gifts into piles and everyone tries to guess if it's <$100 or not

watching people work with text in a way that is not vim is excruciating. not like vim is amazing (lots of trade-offs), but the contrast always reminds me that the state of text editing is still so bad - manual, slow, error prone. did the advent of block editors change that? slightly, maybe?

Web features that have major dependencies on HTTP. Not terribly surprising. Gives you and idea of what might be given up when loading "web" surfaces in non-HTTP contexts. (made by filtering BCD keys in the `http` root, then grouping by tag)

The Future of Text '25 was wonderful this year, with a very warm atmosphere and perfect presentations, even featuring the legendary Alan Kay as surprise guest. Videos and pictures and more is now online at thefutureoftext.org/future-of-te...

Get your typing fingers nimble, the #ATmosphereConf call for proposals is open!

Helped people learning to code for school programs a few times recently. It's been in Python notebooks. Most of the problem ends up being confusing notebook infrastructure and UX. These things designed to make learning easier than in a scary terminal, are preventing the learning from happening.

You always know when it's the 1st of the month in the Netherlands. Because they remind us. With air raid sirens at noon.

gotta take your time making gravy, otherwise you'll rouxin it.

resident genius @shaunamc.bsky.social turned stuffing and roast veg into waffles

my strategy of migrating to jj + @tangled.org by *not* making a github repo for this latest project means that i've been coding without any source control for a week 😅 going to kick off #dothingsdecember tomorrow by, uh, committing to that migration

looks like somebody had a rough night
