The Trump Administration is desperately trying to get you to believe a Big, Obvious Lie about ICE murdering Renee Good & they're using bots & grifters to imitate support. Meanwhile, we're seeing the power of REAL communities coming together to protect one another youtu.be/dnVo6FkG94U

I like Jeffrey Sachs’ view that Trump EXPOSED that USA was already a police state, and that Trump did not create that. We finally got the answer to the dreaded question what would happen if the USA president defies laws and the constitution — nothing. Pointing the finger at Trump is easy.

Older iPhones I used to be able to place on the table face up. Not newer models, I can only place those face down, which is better for the battery life and social situations, but feels weird that the design forces me. Because of The Bulge.

I hate how overrepresented the USA are on the internet

I’m so tired of listening to reporters criticizing the Trump administration for lying. Oh, they lied about something? How shocking. I’d like to listen to someone who skips the obvious and speaks more candidly. Are there laws prohibiting USA reporters from doing that, or fear of being cancelled?

A Tailwind PR got closed with a shocking comment from Adam Wathan — they had to lay off 75% of their engineers yesterday because of impact of AI on their business. github.com/tailwindlabs... The conversation there got completely off the rails, Tailwind Labs should lock it, the author is the worst 😬

I was thinking of writing a new blog post. What would you like to hear about? - tips for writing a custom Vite plugin - dissipating curiosity in frontend: "tools first, ask questions later" - git conflict cheatsheet - Next.js vs. Remix/React Router v7 - state of SVG icons in React (anti-SVG-in-JS)

There’s nothing in the world that works more slowly than my brain while the rules of a board game are being explained. My brain fights me every step of the way, it just doesn’t wanna know shit.

This reminded me of implementing RSCs via the Vite plugin. It's currently not going over so well, but the official documentation is great, the Vite plugin is ❤️, and I milked the AI dry with my questions, so what's wrong? Oh, I tried to skip understanding how RSCs work under the hood! 1/2

Taking this year's React survey was pretty informative and exciting, I recommend it! survey.devographics.com/survey/state... I have some reading to do, React sure has gone a long way! RSCs are such an enormous shift, and even more API related to it than I thought.

I don't get dunking on AI that it can't truly solve problems because it's more of a pattern matching mechanism. Maybe I'm more lenient because I'm using it for coding, but AI is useful for shaking things up so that I can look at a problem in a new light. It's useful for helping me solve problems.

Ok, I've been complaining about my neurological state for a while, but the surgery did help. If I feel a seizure incoming, I swipe a magnet across my chest and the seizure often subsides! It depends on the intensity, the timing etc., some stronger seizures do break through, but still impressive.

Who even is that woman in the last episode of South Park? Before they at least told us who people were, how are we supposed to know?

From the looks of it oxfmt might eventually receive the feature for sorting Tailwind classes. github.com/oxc-project/... Biome has a very limited experimental one, but its progress has been paused indefinitely. I'm aware that this will probably arrive much later, but I'm still excited.

See this sliver of white behind the corner of the Safari window? That is every non-Safari app showing because non-Safari apps now have a different kind of rounded corners because… why?

Instagram’s (and I think TikTok’s?) decision to not let you view (public) content without an account is quite an annoying one. If I don’t have an account by now, I’m not going to. Meta is just needlessly diminishing content reach.

“Men are men, and can never become women, and women are women, and can never become men” is not the flex you think it is, it’s actually trans affirming.

Having both epilepsy and depression in a nutshell: Depression makes it more difficult to do things that are better for me, and seizures worsen my mental state. So seizures cause depression, which causes seizures, which cause depression. Oh, and main side effect of medicine for both is sleepiness.

Claude by @anthropic.com has proven to be very good, I haven't opened ChatGPT in a few months, so I'm deleting my OpenAI account 🔥 Suicidal people are going to talk to AI, so let's own up to that.

The following weeks are going to be all about delegating and asking for help.

My next standup material is how many programmers often have spectacularly wrong beards. Sorry, but you know that we do.

I learned to avoid words like "just" and "simple" when teaching. I try to let people decide for themselves how simple something is.

South Park is no longer watchable if you’re not from USA.

Ah yes, "NaN:NaN" is my favorite part of the song, how did YouTube Music know…

If someone can explain to me why both GPT-4.1 and GPT-5 are in this dropdown, and both Claude Sonnet 4 and 4.5, that would be awesome.

I used a git worktree for the first time, very cool! No more constant stashing and switching 😌 Some drawbacks of stashing often include: - hard to see untracked stashed files - outdated or forgotten stashes - forgetting to drop after resolving conflicts Now I get to develop in parallel!

The fact that sticky positioning so mercilessly depends on the HTML structure without the ability to choose the scrollable parent feels like an oversight.

Why do most examples of using @playwright.dev on the web include installing ALL supported browsers, rather than only the ones we're testing on? Is the performance benefit of not downloading unnecessary browsers so small?

#lazyweb it seems like I can't gift someone a PS game, I can only give the a gift card so that they can buy the game for themselves. Is that true? If so, that's feels outdated and like a missed opportunity for increased revenue. "Here's some money, go buy yourself something nice."

I've been in the ER because of intense kidney pains. Nothing had been found, but I think that was the feeling of kidney stones being formed, because later I passed them. It hurt so bad that I regretted not having anything sharp to stab myself with it. I still can't believe that I thought that…

YouTube: I see that you're in Czech Republic, surely you'll prefer this video with Czech audio then. Me: Lol, no… people often visit other countries. Can you give me the original audio now? YouTube: …nah… It's impossible that you'd want any other audio. Sorry bro.

What does Cloudflare expect us to do now, live our lives?

I can’t stand cigarettes anymore, not even outside. I hold my breath if someone is smoking next to me. I race smokers in front of me just so I can walk in front of them… Cigarette smoke is disgusting. I used to tolerate it, but now I want laws that reduce how much of it is inflicted upon me.

Me: (approaching a bus at X) Driver: do you have a ticket for the bus at Y? Me: (being stunned by that question) Driver: (accepting that as confirmation) wait for the second bus Isn’t this what checking the ticket is intended to solve?? I almost missed my bus over it.

Watch the "Appearance" settings title while I flip between light and dark mode. I love the seamless transition, and how it blends into the UI. It… like, really blends.

Some time in the future we'll start teasing our friends "remember when you thought that LGBTQ+ characters are being planted in movies and shows for an agenda?"

Does anyone here NOT know what an event loop here is? I don't know, so I'm wondering how alone I am! 😉 I realized that not knowing this is sometimes interpreted as lack of fundamental knowledge and interest in the language.

All of us struggle to understand why someone would vote a certain way. In USA it was a mediocre Dem candidate vs. an apocalypse. Easy choice, no? This episode of @ezraklein.bsky.social show was very insightful. youtu.be/Sx0J7dIlL7c?... It's helpful to truly begin to understand over being angry.

Goddamn right we are 🥺

I attended a conference talk about giving more meaningful open source contributions. I later discovered that the speaker hasn’t created a single PR outside of their GH org 😕 How does this happen? A disingenuous OSS talk only hurts the community.

Have you ever received a handshake so bad that you felt like washing your hand afterwards?

I take a lot of pills, and my city's healthcare department has a system that monitors whether I'm running out of pills, i.e. whether I'm allowed to take out more. But if I run out of pills for a number of days, their system doesn't appear to tell them that, only that I'm out. 1/2

Apple resellers in my city are incredibly bad at… reselling Apple products. My charger broke, so I asked for a new one until I fix the old one, but they didn't have that one because it's "old". Also, they stopped fixing broken stuff. So the "official" solution was to… what, buy a new computer??

Who designed this? Why are there two identical columns of coffees?

My cover of a dear, dear song. It was a farewell present to a friend who didn't want me anymore. She didn't like the gesture 😔 Kaleo – I Can't Go on Without You youtu.be/90XqrDOAuqE

At a local meetup I introduced attendees to Vitest Browser Mode. However, preparing for this led to quite a few surprises. Did you know that happy-dom supports: - window.matchMedia() - Custom Elements - shadow DOM Isn't that crazy impressive??

Don't [...spread] or .split() your strings! Use Intl.Segmenter API. Available in every JS runtime

This is what you want to see when you click "Unsubscribe" on an email you didn't subscribe to.

<title> in SVG sprite <symbol>s doesn't work. <use> creates a shadow DOM, and <title> inside shadow DOM isn't available in the accessibility tree. It only works in the light DOM: <svg> <title>plus</title> <use href="/icons.svg#plus" > </svg> Why am I only learning about this now??

Anyone knows what to do now? Back to ESLint?
