Just backed buymeacoffee.com/markandscribble. Very useful tool.

No! Who would have thought!

Even when their apparel is on Sale, it is laughably expensive. shop.strava.com/en-eu #strava

The last concert I attended was from Phil Campbell, last December. Today I learned about his passing at only 64 yo. Rest In Peace. Thanks for all the music.

Getting rid of some old hardware, but decided to keep this 1st generation Surface tablet. Clunky by today's standards, but quite advanced back in the day. Windows on ARM processor.

300 word article on why we are ending our OpenAI (ChatGPT) subscriptions as per today. www.linkedin.com/pulse/ending...

While I am not against AI by all means, tools and sites now often take it to far. This is an example. Please, let me select my own commits! I will handle them appropriately. It is one of the key techniques every developer must master. AI or no AI. Thank you.

Friend of mine has a project for work, now travelling from NL --> Fiji. Takes 36+ hours. The world might be small, but is still bigger than you think.

The drone shots and noise pollution from the Olympics are absolutely f**ing terrible and I hate them with a passion. Hope to see them go rather sooner than later

Our dog, Rico, has his #birthday today. Today, he is 13 yo. Hang in there, buddy.

Challenge. Spot the No Fly Zone:

In Kröller-Müller museum, NL. Rest of the collection is OK I guess, but actually there for one of the most vibrant, colorful and simply most beautiful paintings Vincent van Gogh ever created.

On vacation: playing #Everdell. One if the finest in our collection, IMO. #boardgames

Ik moet zeggen, De Speld (@speld) overtreft zichzelf tijdens dit winterweer.

Dell is the first brand to ditch the "AI first" mantra. It's like a breath of fresh air. www.pcgamer.com/hardware/del...

haha! (via marc ouwendijk)

Het #vuurwerkverbod in #Zutphen is ook dit jaar weer een wassen neus. Hopelijk is het volgend jaar anders, maar ik heb er een hard hoofd in.

Registreren bij autodeelbedrijf #MyWheels lukt niet, omdat postcode niet wordt herkend ("Dit is geen geldig Nederlands adres"). Maar ik woon hier toch echt! Dan maar naar alternatief/concurrent #GreenWheels.

Tonight: playing Rolling Heights. Fun game, but too long to my liking and a bit too much luck involved. #boardgames

Ach, wat is #Magister toch een onschuldig bedrijf en wat wordt het een onrecht aangedaan door al die nare scholen en ouders!. Ondertussen hanteren ze dezelfde taktiek als wapenfabrikanten: "onze wapens doden geen mensen, maar de mensen die ze gebruiken!"

Waiting for the ICE, which is delayed. Again. So I sent out a drone to inspect the tracks, and this is what it discovered:

All those automated Christmas greetings from companies you did business with over the past years were already awful, of course. And now they're generated with AI too. How pathetic.

I know we shouldn't use <table> for tables on the screen, but I'm not sure if this 2025 solution nowadays is actually so much cleaner?

So I guess now we’re all just waiting for the Nobel Committee to announce their Footballer of the Year award. apnews.com/article/trum...

Opinion on AI found on LinkedIn: "We're at the brink of an explosion of the most useless bubble of all time. After the the Railway Bubble, at least people still have railways. Here, we have only useless data centers with outdated hardware." Somehow, I feel this has some truth in it.

20 years ago (yes, in 2005), the last Windows 3.1 computer was located: www.ticalc.org/archives/new...

This is a message from MS Word (Mac). Me, being the half dyslectic idiot, originally read the sentence as "Checking for changes to your life" and was wondering what Word was supposed to do with my life...

Black Friday in Nederland: "Scoor nu blek fraaidee diels! In de epp!" Manmanman.

Oh please! Is there ANYONE who asked this? Do you know anyone?

Gelukkig zit er een sticker op, anders was het me niet opgevallen...

Since about 2 months I've been choosing 'no' or 'reject' on every cookie banner. If that is not possible, or have to take a subscription or yhe likes, I'm not visiting the site at all. And I am missing.... absolutely nothing.

I just learned that there are apparently people who are actually addicted to Active Noise Cancelling, ANC.

O man. Had so much fun with 'This way up', by @jayforeman.bsky.social and @markcooperjones.bsky.social. Also: lots and lots of insights. Not to mention, funny. Too bad it had to finish. www.amazon.co.uk/This-Way-Up-...

Nu hadden we wel zo'n huilie-huilie imitatie kunnen gebruiken. Ik mag toch hopen dat zo'n leugenachtige trol een keer recht in zijn gezicht wordt uitgelachen. Maar nee hoor. Nederland schiet direct weer in de verdedigingsreflex. Het is zo triest.

I updated my Angular+websockets code example. See full post here: www.linkedin.com/posts/peterk...

If you weren't sure on how to ditch your privacy completely, luckily OpenAI now has the solution! openai.com/index/introd...

Dispatched. But still only arriving after the weekend, unfortunately. By @jayforeman.bsky.social and @markcooperjones.bsky.social

F*ing websites that ask you to log in "with a code, sent to your email account" - when I perfectly know username and password. I HATE them with a passion.

I currently have the impression that SEO is getting less and less important, due to the rise of AI. You this is correct? If yes, how to mitigate?

I have lost count on how many times I had to prove to a robot that I am not a robot...

Anyone else noticing that #Spotify client on pc is slow on startup, lately (like: **very** slow)?

So much for @googke.bsky.social Gemini CLI...

Wow! I'm in the top-3 of a community map ('Holey Poles practice') on #Geoguessr.

Yeez, new icons. Not again!

It hurts my pride as a programmer, but I have to admit that Gemini AI agent updates and suggests things that I had overlooked in a large code repository.
