Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge? It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

wild how he immediately raises his weapon as soon as she turns and he sees the microphone they're shooting to maim the press on purpose y'all

This cruelty and insanity has personally honestly cost me so much - I'm gonna just enjoy this.

We have both for some reason

WHAT IS THE CHARGE? EATING A MEAL?! A SUCCULENT CHINESE MEAL?!

Reading coverage of the Victorian Budget and seriously, we give far too much credence to the wrecked and corrupt ratings agencies that helped cause the GFC and suffered absolutely zero consequences. Oh no, they're spending extra GST revenue on health instead of paying down debt. Yeah f*ck off.

I've written this straight from the heart: Humanity hates people. www.maaikebrinkhof.nl/humanity-hat...

The year is 2025. Researches have discovered women have central nervous systems. Can feel pain!

Came for the comments on East vs West NC bbq and was not disappointed Takes me back to the time a bunch of colleagues all brought their regional bbq to Chicago and we had a taste-off. The best way to resolve these issues 😁

Adelaide peeps - During this terrible drought, we are seeing a lot of dead trees. Flinders Uni is collecting reports of tree dieback. So, if you spot a dead or dying street tree, take a photo and report it here ... qualtrics.flinders.edu.au/jfe/form/SV_...

This is quite an extraordinary table from Streem showing how many seats each party would have won if their share of seats matched their share of media coverage during the campaign. You're not imagining it. The Murdoch press et al didn't shut up about Dutton. Lucky no-one was listening. #auspol

Not only is this true, there are 33 whole-ass mentions of this in the script and each one is freaking hilarious whills.nu/4/sw4.html#h...

Sorry it took us a while Pacific neighbours. All three gone! #AusPol #BinNight

Perhaps Albo will feel secure enough to start growing a spine now.

Cheers mate, we really are

Now they have a mandate, Labor really needs to read the room and stop trying to court bipartisanship with the Coalition! Go back to your social democratic and labourist roots! Do a Carney and announce inclusion of dental into Medicare! Do something to help and inspire Aussies! #AusPol #AusVotes

I love this quote from Roy Kent so much

Yeah, we hope someone else wins too, Ray. These LNP clowns can't even be transparent about tiktok plagiarism.

today is the australian election

Some folks hold up the small % of developers who do TDD as evidence that it doesn't work. Because if it did, "everybody would be doing it". Yes. As a profession, we famously do things if they work - like iterative development, continuous testing and user-centred design. All very common, no?

'The biggest funder of Advance last financial year — by a factor of 10 — was the Liberal Party, which gave it $500,000 via its election funding vehicle, the Cormack Foundation.'

To the politicians & ‘leaders’ who’ve nurtured & emboldened racism in Australia, then condemn & feign shock at the repugnant booing incident... Fanning the flames, then expressing sorrow at the damage the fire’s doing. We see the hate mongering, greedy, opportunists you are.

Tech industry math

Attention, Australian politicians currently running for election: have you considered this

real

The hatred against trans women probably makes me as sad as anything else happening in this world. Have never encountered a transphobe who doesn’t also reveal their homophobia and racism with the slightest scratch. Transphobes devote their lives to hatred. My contempt for them is total.

So if this was an act of antisemitism the weight of the law would descend on this person. But an act of violence against women? Not important, move on to the next one.

Just finished "Mean Streak" - should be mandatory reading going into an election I reckon. Thank you @squigglyrick.bsky.social 🙏

For all those Australian organisations who took Trump’s election as a signal to dump DEI: Dutton is gonna lose an election because he didn’t support DEI

Save the date!!!! Saturday, August 16, 2025 will be the next Product Camp Melbourne! Details to come. Thank you Seek for hosting (the 3rd year in a row!!!)

The issue isn't that Dutton is going to shape his campaign and tactics 100% on Trump (different playing fields) but that Dutton gets his research and analysis from the same think tanks and specialised comms groups that the Republicans do. Same culture wars shit, diluted down for Australian tastes.
