Stop “debunking” Stop playing “spot a bit/ AI” Look for the humans. You can’t beat their ability to flood the zone . We’re tired , overwhelmed , and under resourced We can shift the zone

Here’s a block list: bsky.app/profile/did:...

I am continuing my experimentation with Chonky Boi posts on linkedin. Closer to the character limit, closer to god. Share to stress salesbros out by making them encounter a post about feelings www.linkedin.com/posts/drcath...

People sit there and wonder why the shit I build works so well and how the fuck I did it for a fraction of the price that they thought possible. It’s not hard, honestly: design for the marginalized The power law cuts both ways. Use it to your advantage!

This is exactly how I feel. What it leads to is me pushing myself to finish books I don't like, instead of discarding them and spending time with books that are doing the Good Book Thing in my head And ultimately this leads to me dropping my reading habit instead of sustaining it.

Vaccinate your children. My GOD.

not sure if I'd call it unhinged, but fiction/leisure reading goals seem pointless to me. it's like making a goal to eat more ice cream actually now that I think about it, I should definitely eat more ice cream 🤔

once again i am faced with the uncomfortable truth: remote work is a skill issue

New blog post: The illegible nature of software development talent surfingcomplexity.blog/2025/10/08/t...

on the whole, writing for programmers is a deeply frustrating exercise they read essays like they're a compiler, stopping at the first word they don't understand and spitting out error messages

Once again, I stare at South Park

it surprises me how well I can still read French a solid 15 years after I last used it regularly. I wonder how much my long-time struggles with speaking and listening skills were a symptom of not just memory issues but also auditory processing disorder

I've been repeatedly using SAT words organically in conversation the past couple days and I'm pretty sure it's cause of this it's just wild how stark a difference reading fiction makes in my word recall in a fairly short period. surprises me every time

Let me take a minute to remind folks that Christopher Columbus did NOT discover new lands. These lands were already home to Indigenous peoples since time immemorial, they were never wild or in need of taming. We had language, culture and even a spiritual connection to Creator.

New from 404 Media: the Discord hack is every users' worst nightmare. Yesterday the hackers started posting Discord users' selfies, identity documents, email addresses, phone numbers, more. I watched in real time. This is risk of tech storing ID for age verification www.404media.co/the-discord-...

Apropos last repost, another sleight of hand that gen ai proponents like Miller engage in is suggesting gen ai is like photography. NO. In the past, I mentioned how they’re conflating perception with process to obscure gen ai being theft & labor exploitation and to alter what “photography” means.

okay I'm almost done with the second book in @maryrobinettekowal.com's Lady Astronaut series and I cannot recommend it enough to all you incident response and human factors nerds the first book had me hooked from page one, which is a rare thing for me: bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

At first the Discord hack didn’t seem that bad because it was initially the third party help desk. But then you find out they had got there age verification data. Come to find out they got 1.5 TB of government id and age verification data. This is going to become a case against age verification.

random but does anyone have a good reactji to express "hugops"? i think we had one in slack at a previous job but i don't remember what it was

holy shit original article: www.cbsnews.com/losangeles/n...

this is how I, a resident of LA, found out that the Palisades fire was arson, that they caught the guy, and that he used gen AI to work his way up to doing the crime

most concretely: i got my last two jobs thanks to people i met on twitter (back when it was twitter)

i used to unfollow everyone on linkedin and just ignore the feed, even though it backfills with "recommended" posts all the sloppost on my screen started to feel gross, even for just a half second on the way to another page

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

(continues reading pirate story) 🤔 is it too late for a career change? it's not a bad thing to have dreams

"My love for you is a combinatorial explosion"

my gramma used to always answer the phone by saying "Yellooo" with this particular intonation and i think i'm going to start channeling her in zoom calls

Holy SHIT they've identified an actual biomarker!!!

yeah no, that's not a thread for poasting publicly spees

i feel like so much of my job is me: "I've heard rumors that this can be done better, and I can sorta almost imagine a silhouette of what that would look like." them: "Great, when will it be ready?"

it's not constant firefighting or anything even close to that, but i've been on call every other week since like march so i haven't allocated many brain cycles to things outside of work the past few months

now it's stuck in your head too you're welcome

hi coworkers! lol

searched to see if anyone's made this joke before and i learned there's a big titty ghost myth in SE Asia mythlok.com/hantu-tetek/

of course it's pronounced "ghost titty." i mean how else would you pronounce it?

Ok, so since community governance and crisis comms is what I actually do As A Service, here's where I'd drive. 1) Make the maintainers + the roles public, outline what everyone's doing and the rationale behind it.

it'd be great if i could keep my productivity levels consistent week over week instead of having 150%-200% days/weeks followed by, um, very different numbers

We're noodling around with a second edition of the Docs for Devs books, and I'm wondering, technology book readers - what makes a second edition worthwhile to you? What do you want to see added?
