This week's figures just dropped… good to see the flu dropping down, the others holding steady. Life is "normal" for now. Last week was also a partial week, so some of the numbers on actual diagnoses are down due to that. Data extracted on 12 […] [Original post on mastodon.longlandclan.id.au]

Asking a question of my fellow humans: Does anyone know of any interesting research or even anecdata with regard to the idea that releasing new software features too quickly is a form of bad UX? I was thinking about the notion of "agentic" dev resulting in features shipping much faster and […]

Hey, #ring doorbell users... see below.

How CP/M-86's delay handed Microsoft the keys to the kingdom https://www.theregister.com/2026/01/12/why_cpm86_was_late/ A late operating system, a stopgap deal, and the accident that made DOS dominant <- by me on @theregister

@stuartl I like what these folks have set up (including a Jitsi instance) https://seattlematrix.org/

Relating to my experiments with #matrix, I had a quick look at whether I can host #jitsi here momentarily.
