I'm excited to announce this new study, published in The Lancet Planetary Health, which explores public support for degrowth and ecosocialist transformation. The findings are quite surprising. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Time to watch some NHL! Predators v Penguins 🏒

Type stripping is now stable. Enjoy 🌞

I just backed Cipher System - Torn Between Realities on @Kickstarter www.kickstarter.com/projects/cip...

Football Manager 26 is a mess. It is being rushed out the door in a state I would never have imagined. It is in a state that I personally as a developer could never excuse. This is clearly a business decision, they cannot afford to push it further.

Football Manager 26 is nearly here, can't wait!

The Sleeping City by An Abstract Illusion is an amazing album! The mix of death, black, progressive metal with excellent atmospheric sounds is just a treat to the ears. Haven't heard music like this before. Time to go back through their discography!

Got Fedora running on my MacBook Air. Looking forward to exploring a life without a Apple or MS OS for a while.

V-Dem Institute, who every year releases a Democracy study of every nation in the world, The USA is no longer a democracy. It has fallen to the second lowest rating, Electoral Autocracy. Same as Russia and Hungary. Swedish interview, www.expressen.se/nyheter/varl...

This includes the ability to print money out of thin air and buying it from you.

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

This is frightening. If there isn't footage of something people believe to be true, they'll make it. This alone is enough for me to dismiss this technology as harmful to society.

Crystal Lake dropped a banger 🤘 youtu.be/zNlIGbsbMCA?...

It feels very nice to hear someone else sharing similar experiences in regards to LLMs and coding. It's sometimes very lonely being a dev not using AI tools. youtu.be/0ZUkQF6boNg?...

What an amazing milestone.

This sounds good, moving it away from Meta and into the community. Hope for the best.

Läser tweet från fd M-statssekreterare (nu chef för Svenskt Näringslivs tankesmedja) som försvarar utländska riskkapitalisters rätt att tjäna pengar på att undervisa svenska barn på engelska. I skolbolagets styrelse sitter två fd M-politiker. Även lobbychefen är fd M-politiker.

I can't stress enough how important it is to make an example here. Take all the money from these companies. Find alternatives. Vote with your pockets because fundamentally money and power is everything to these insufferable pricks.

On DHH’s “As I remember London” - paulbjensen.co.uk/2025/09/17/o...

Du är 15 år och går på gymnasiemässan utan att veta att du bär på en väska med 350000 kr. Du möter en två år äldre elev från Kunskapsgymnasiet som lärt sig av retorikexpert hur man påverkar ditt val. Du tar upp mobilen och kollar en gymnasieinfosida. Den ägs av Academedia. 👍

Ages ago, when I was still a student, I taught myself Ruby on Rails for my senior thesis and fell in love. Fifteen years later, and I’ve used Rails at every job I’ve ever held in the tech industry. Fifteen years, and I still love Rails! But there’s something rotten at its core, and we share a name.

“Unlike human intelligence, it lacks the humility to acknowledge uncertainty,” said Neil Shah, VP for research and partner at Counterpoint Technologies. “When unsure, it doesn’t defer to deeper research or human oversight; instead, it often presents estimates as facts.”

The story of a landmark album. www.loudersound.com/music/albums...

Tomas Lindberg, singer of metal pioneers At The Gates has past away. 😔

I made the mistake of devoting myself to AI4SG early in my career because I wanted to believe I could use my skills to make the world a better place. Instead, I found exactly what Dr. Birhane describes - particularly with respect to accountability laundering. I'll share one example🧵

My pet hate on apps 'share information with 'legitimate interest partners'. No app, not one needs over 500 'legitimate interest partners'. The expect you to go and decline every one (and think we trust them to honour that). No, simply no.

“This async-first approach to communication is a very real way to ensure accessibility in the workplace. That may sound like a convenience, but for people with chronic illness, disabilities, or caregiving responsibilities, it’s something closer to a lifeline.”

The Supreme Court just ruled this meme is constitutional.

A teacher gave my kid’s class AI prompt instructions so that a bot could pretend to be a teacher of the given subject and ask the student questions about a specific subject and ask them to elaborate. And it feels a bit uncomfortable that a teacher is promoting chat bot use in education.

”Synthetic text that reads as authoritative but for which no one is accountable is poison to the information ecosystem.” - Emily M. Bender This is very well said.

In this short piece, I lean on embodied cog sci to argue that we should refuse & resist llms in education (pp. 53-58) unesdoc.unesco.org/in/documentV... "the classroom is an environment where love, trust, empathy, care & humility are fostered & mutually cultivated through dialogical interactions"

Hon sa högt det som partiet säger tyst.

I wish I had a love for a programming language the way Ruby developers love Ruby.

I'm looking for some good #dev blogs, youtube channels, bluesky feeds, rss feeds. if you have any can you please reply the link? Thanks

Football Manager is back!

Do you enjoy our newsletter, The Index? Could you do us a favour and share it with your friends? We're really trying to make The Index consistently great and being appealing to sponsors really helps with that. The more subs we have, the easier that is 💛 piccalil.li/the-index/

Man, where was I when The Qemists were releasing music? Another band that I'm late to!

part of my resentment towards LLMs is to do with them crowding out anything else we could be talking about. there are so many things I could be reading to get better at my craft but I'm presented with "you should actually get worse at it on purpose because nothing matters any more"

🎶 Can I scream? Yeah! We lack the motion To move to the new beat Whoo! We lack the motion To move to the new beat 🎶

We're going to need journalists to stop talking about synthetic text extruding machines as if they have *thoughts* or *stances* that they are *trying* to *communicate*. ChatGPT can't *admit* anything, nor *self-report*. Gah. www.wsj.com/tech/ai/chat...

Am I the only one who feels that web development has been optimising so much for DX that it’s made it harder for non-developers to contribute? HTML and CSS is a novelty, and knowing JS/TS/JSX or some custom file type has increased the gap between designers and developers working on the same code?

I’m late to the party but Don Broco is a great band and their album Amazing Things is top notch!
