I'm a simple man: I see a video on Omarchy while scrolling YouTube, I click to watch, click dislike, then go back to scrolling

COMING SOON: AI + Guy™

there’s not a single person working in tech rn that hasn’t considered “what if I go live in a forest? What would be the logistics on that.”

Please let the new incarnation of the Steam Machine be successful. We need Windows to die a horrible death.

Seems like the original article was wrong. As things have been happening though, not so sure it won’t happen at some point anyway (even without them acknowledging it).

This is peak intellect. The CEO of OpenAI.

Trying to measure coding productivity is, and always will be, a fool's errand. Why? Because I can go for a walk then take a shower and have an idea, then write a single line of code that fixes everything I was working on. Immense productivity, but by most metrics I didn't do anything at all.

Just released Cake v6.0.0! 🚀🍰 Few highlights ✨ .NET 10 & C# 14 support! ✨ Introducing Cake.Sdk - a new official runner that brings the .NET 10 "dotnet run app.cs" experience to Cake. ✨ Bug fixes, improvements. Full details: cakebuild.net/blog/2025/11... #dotnet #csharp #devops

Write code to make being human easier. Rip code out if it makes being human harder. Write code to make caring for each other easier. Rip it out if it makes caring for each other harder. Empathy driven development has literally never failed me. It’s done me better than everything else combined

“The detection order will not be part of the EU presidency’s new compromise proposal. It will remain voluntary for tech giants to search for child sexual abuse material.” Danish Minister of Justice, Peter Hummelgaard, confirms today that Denmark is backing down and dropping mandatory scanning.

Check Settings > Manage Apps in your Google Drive, Gemini was enabled by default for me. I only checked because someone had pointed it on Twitter

📣THREAD: It’s surprising to me that so many people were surprised to learn that Signal runs partly on AWS (something we can do because we use encryption to make sure no one but you–not AWS, not Signal, not anyone–can access your comms). It’s also concerning. 1/

Hey Bluesky users, I see your responses, but since you’re not bridging, I can't interact with you. If you use this (https://fed.brid.gy/) then I could interact and reply. Cheers :)

it's kinda weird that all the software i am expected to use for work are all written by distributed teams, go, python, postgres, linux, chrome, k8s etc and despite being told "the best teams work in an office together" i don't know of any software i use that's actually written that way

"Beyond Indexes: How Open Table Formats Optimize Query Performance" Enjoyed reading this post by @vanlightly.bsky.social, explaining why secondary indexes, as known from OLTP systems, don't make sense for data lakehouse systems like Apache Iceberg. 👉 jack-vanlightly.com/blog/2025/10...

📣 Germany's close to reversing its opposition to mass surveillance & private message scanning, & backing the Chat Control bill. This could end private comms-& Signal-in the EU. Time's short and they're counting on obscurity: please let German politicians know how horrifying their reversal would be.

The whole chat control thing in Europe is very concerning. Privacy wise it’s a nightmare; people making the laws as usual, have 0 understanding of the ramifications.

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/ge...

So, a “free” cellular plan that you pay for by allowing the company to harvest your data… and that’s considered an “excellent” plan by this blog… 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

I wouldn’t call an abstraction to call an LLM a “text-to-image capability in .NET”, but ok 😒

So apparently my client has decided that we should (1) start using Cursor, and (2) show up at the office four days a week. After more than 6 years there, I’m thinking this might be my cue to eject. Anyone looking for a coder for a remote gig (or hybrid in Stockholm)?

What's next? Playing badminton with Skelator?

tired: it's always DNS inspired: ICANN feel it coming in the air tonight

I'm building an alternative streaming option for artists called tracklist:// where they will be able to self-host their music catalog and stream it directly to fans. As musicians ourselves, our goal is to empower artists with connection. Sign up for our waitlist here; www.tracklist.diy

20 years ago, normal people avoided technology and techies would jump on the newest gadgets as soon as they could now, normal people buy smart toasters & coffee mugs while every techie I know is on the verge of retreating to the forest

A lot of developer conferences should probably stop having call for speakers. They end up always having the same speakers, so why not just invite them directly and stop the charade? 🤷‍♂️

I’ve been streaming gamedev once on a while, so I did a python script that will trigger a receipt printer to show when someone follows me live. It’s kinda cool since it all happens automatically. I’ll be working and I’ll see it print suddenly.

So, Generative AI is a stochastic parrot regurgitating the average of all the world’s most mediocre code… Yet, somehow, the “upper elite 1% of talent” is getting massive productivity gains from it? To the point where Elite Performing tech corporations mandate it? That doesn’t add up

No shot towards any particular library, but it's crazy how .NET did a full loop and now we're again into attribute-based magic mess with code generation. This approach has its place (I was using it in Marten, and the team still does that), it can make performance better, but ask Java friend....

Not really sure yet if it's at all useful (possibly not 😅), but started experimenting with the idea of having a super basic folder/git based schema catalog (for stuff like OpenAPI, Avro, Protobuf, etc). github.com/joaofbantune...

Isn't there a more appropriate account to share this kind of... stuff (avoiding stronger words here) than the #dotnet account? 😵‍💫

For absolutely no reason, quickly rating the languages I used over the last couple of months (not necessarily in terms of quality, just me enjoying them, in whatever context I needed to use them) #CSharp 👍 #Java 🤷‍♂️ #GoLang 👍 #Python 👎 #JavaScript / #TypeScript 🤷‍♂️

They also said who wouldn’t try a new product from Google these days, they’re such an exciting product company. I wouldn’t? I have absolutely no interest in investing in a product made by a company famously uninterested in investing in their products.

Hi authors! Please remember to file a claim!

I keep getting into conversations with engineers where I talk about how desperately I want my database to support materialized views with incremental updates and too often I get a blank stare in response. so I wrote a new post about why you should care! sophiebits.com/2025/08/22/m...

so if the new research proves AI is actually not using a lot of energy then why are AI companies so worried about not having enough energy is a question i am mulling to myself

‼ Fight Chat Control - protect EU digital privacy! ‼ The EU may soon mandate scanning private messages and photos, possibly by October. PLEASE, contact your MEPs now - the site has their details (for all EU countries!) and even a message generator to make it easy! https://fightchatcontrol.eu/

Started experimenting with the idea of porting #OutboxKit to #GoLang Not sure if it's very idiomatic #Go, given me being so used to #CSharp #DotNet, but hopefully it's not too far 😅 github.com/joaofbantune...

Com a chegada da Dinamarca à presidência do Conselho da UE, o ChatControl está de volta. Se não sabes o que é e porque te deves preocupar, este artigo ajuda-te a perceber: shifter.pt/chatcontrol-...

It’s been a long time coming, but finally there’s no more Windows in the house (of the OS kind, I still have the ones that let light and air in 😅)

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

What in the actual hell is this 💩? Saw someone sharing it, thought it was a joke, but alas, this is really there in the docs. I don't even have words to describe the utter nonsense that this is. #DotNet #CSharp learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet...
