Besides the flood of AI spam, what's your biggest frustration with GitHub or working in OSS these days? Just dump them here like if I was your therapist.

am i…famous?? 🤡

It took me 2 tries to guess who @samwho.dev was @mystery-mutual.bsky.social mystery-mutual.fly.dev

Findings from this week's UN report on AI vs climate: 🌿 80-90% is not in training models, but in day-to-day use. 🌿 Generating an image is 1450⨉ more energy intensive than text, generating video much worse. 🌿 We need to monitor water and land footprint, as well as carbon. unu.edu/inweh/news/e...

Just launched at Public Spaces in Amsterdam, The European Social Stack Open Declaration! A set of common principles agreed by complementary technology leaders 🫶 Read the declaration, add your signature, and share: european.social #EUSocialStack #Europe

first experience hooking up an llm with mcp running automatically on a webhook. www.openstatus.dev/blog/agent-w... will probably write some more about the experience and just ai in general later on my personal blog (should find the time next week, no promises)

So… did they ever say what happened when a bunch of people “left” Deno a few weeks/months back??

Well it seems my first feature for @openstatus.dev is already useful! www.openstatus.dev/status/anthr...

This needs to stop. It’s trivial to encrypt things and if outlawed we’ll lose privacy while criminals can still do it reclaimthenet.org/france-moves...

wtf is up with the ios screenshot tool?? i can’t crop screenshots, it only resizes them 😭

absolute internet magic if this actually ends up happening for real

Well that's quite the spike for claude..

My hottest “I have no data to back this up” take is that phones aren’t making young people less happy. What’s making them less happy is living in a world where everyone is having their reality defined by recommendation algorithms that can only care about whether something keeps you watching.

If you use GitHub (especially if you pay for it!!) consider doing this *immediately* Settings -> Privacy -> Disallow GitHub to train their models on your code. GitHub opted *everyone* into training. No matter if you pay for the service (like I do). WTH github.com/settings/cop...

society has solved global warming by creating new, more pressing concerns

“A deep grief about how the technology industry has become so abhorrently hostile to the human experience that it has inadvertently distracted me from real and true humanity held deep within art and music;” Beautifully well written piece on the direction the tech industry is taking.

Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.

I wrote a few words last night. nvie.com/posts/15-yea...

still going strong with the Microslop® mockery

Grid lanes coming!

@tangled.org can't seem to be able to login right now.. I'm getting a 500 error on the POST request, with the error "auth request failed: PAR request failed (HTTP 400): invalid_client" I'm logging in as usual with my atproto handle. ublock is deactivated.

I've just played around on my blog to add 2 shiny new things: `grid-lanes` and bluesky post integration! finxol.io As always, it's when I have other things I'm supposed to be doing, but here we are. (I might need to update this OG image some time, it's not very useful or pretty currently)

almost there with anchor positioning being newly baseline!! 🥳

@deno.land Now that the new Deno Deploy is out of beta, will there be an easy migration option for projects on Deploy Classic? I'm mostly thinking of env vars, since we can't access them from the UI, the rest is straightforward enough, but would still be nice cc @lcas.dev

how is github ui still so broken in so many ways?

post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't nirvana, pearl jam, soundgarden, or alice in chains

A lot of hours spent rebuilding a usable timetable for French students! Huge work from @kernoeb.noewen.com. I came in pretty late on, worked mostly on the planning picker, making as nice as possible to use.

Raycast wrapped has landed! Some ridiculous stats: - 3091 opens for Raycast - 13415 opens for @zen-browser.app - 10207 opens for @zed.dev - 9426 opens for Ghostty All other opens are nowhere near even a 10th of those

Go take the State of React 2025 survey if you have a minute! survey.devographics.com/survey/state...

welp just found out i can’t access my photo library on my phone anymore 🤡 updating to the latest beta doesn’t fix it. wtf is going on with apple??

While I don't entirely agree with this assessment, it's in the ballpark. - AI is definitely a technological advancement, but the utility is often oversold - The real danger isn't the AI itself but the human evil it enables at scale - Regulation is necessary but ultimately will be ineffective

📣 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.

After seeing a few shiny PDS home pages, I've finally taken the time to make one myself! pds.finxol.io It was a great first experience building with atproto :) The output is contained in a single HTML for easy deployment. The code is on tangled for the curious tangled.org/@finxol.io/p...

How is this not bigger news in tech/security circles. Jaguar Land Lover lost $250M (£200M) and counting thanks to a cyberattack that it still couldn’t mitigate. This is growing every week. The cost of underinvesting in security is very real. 1+ month recovery is bonkers

Why in the world do they always default to opting you in?? (i know why, it’s just egregious)

Finally took the time to finish writing about my @tangled.sh knot setup! Thanks again @icyphox.sh for the reactivity on the small UI bug!

Please give me an unironic list of things that have gotten better over the last ten years because I’m spiraling. I’ll start: you can buy an enormous TV from Costco for like $100 bucks now.

The joys of debugging CI 🤡

First blog post about my atproto pds self-host process is out! Another one about hosting my @tangled.sh knot will follow :)

We are a small software company based in Amsterdam, and we have an issue with our current mid-tier hosting provider. They were perfect, but after being bought by a US corporate, their service is going down while their prices are going up. No more US companies. What are our options within the EU?

I've just finished migrating my bsky account to my own PDS! Very smooth experience, not too much trouble to do, it only took me a couple of hours. Might write up a blog post.

Interesting news from Denmark this morning: at least three American men with ties to Trump have been traveling back and forth to Greenland to recruit locals and gather information on people hostile to Trump. A spectacularly amateurish covert operation. www.dr.dk/nyheder/indl...
