2025 has been without a doubt the worst year of my life. Here's hoping that 2026 is better

A really cool "feature" of Linux is that since all of the secret stores are somehow a Desktop Environment feature, every time you switch between DEs all of your apps get corrupted and you get to log in again on all of them. For Slack, that means receiving like 6+ dumb Emails! 🫠🫠

Man, GitHub frontend perf in 2025 makes me so sad - it literally causes my computer fans to spin up on nearly every non-trivial page: the repo view, any PR This is literally a static page. Nothing is moving. The number of renders should be Exactly One (1)!

My hottest take: the Subway Takes guy is Good, actually, and even if some of the takes are Bad that's the whole point, NYC is a whole city full of all kinds of people living together and that's pretty cool and great

It's gonna be this kinda day huh

I finally finished Split Fiction today after getting kinda bored with the last third, but holy shit - the finale / ending is absolutely insane in terms of technical artist / SFX work, truly *stunning*. And even despite the last part lull, the game is incredibly creative and novel. Great game!

/me Feeling like garbàge but pull myself together so I don't cancel the lunch chat I have with someone /Restaurant literally plays Elliott Smith on the radio Come onnnnnnnnn

A cool thing about Germany is how every business will have a contact form / Email address that you'll take a lot of time to write a very detailed message into, in formal German, and they will absolutely never ever ever respond to it in any way

Hey, it's me! I'm טרנסג'נדרית! I am *genuinely* proud to be a small part of moving the Rights of Queer people forward in Israel 🏳️‍🌈 www.ynet.co.il/economy/arti...

Computers peaked here

numberOfHoursWastedToESMBullshit += 6

Boy is it really weird and gross that the consequences that fall out of laws like COPPA et al applied to YouTube, is that an insane amount of watched content by school-age kids is watching twenty-something adult men playing games intended for children

2025 vibes

I will not be taking further questions at this time

And with SOPHIE in the background too 🥲 Sometimes I wonder if Zohran is the only Good Person left, I want to move to NYC just to vote for him youtu.be/bEvVSpN0BXg

The future of security on macOS

I know that @avaloniaui.net is trying to stay positive but, this sucks actually? Wayland might fix some things but its architecture ideology and wild "security" ideas are such a tremendous unforced error that has and will continue to nerf Linux Desktop for *years* avaloniaui.net/blog/bringin...

Imagine typing this with your own two hands and thinking that it was a good idea.

An underrated usage of AI, cursor-agent remembers all of the obnoxious syntax and stupid paths that systemd services and mounts use, "make this script a service and put the unit file in the right place"

Jesus Take The Wheel, I'm arguing about line endings on the Internet - github.com/biomejs/biom...

A Cool Thing™️ about your company using a Monorepo, is that if you do it right, you can bring down all of engineering with one PR! 😭

"it's just nature and science" except we need the full power of the State govt to enforce it You know, like other scientific facts do

It'd be super cool if I could actually write code instead of fighting with node modules, packaging, and ESM all day every day, I kinda liked that first one better

this blows

If you're one of those absolute sickos who use QuickEdit on Windows and miss it on every other platform, they *just* added it to Ghostty! Get a recent build and add this to your config: right-click-action=copy-or-paste

Today was my first day at Anysphere, working on Cursor.ai - excited to work on making really cool stuff for software developers again!

This comic put into words so well, how it feels when I see people in my life talk about how excited they are about Harry Potter www.reddit.com/gallery/1n4u...

I have a question, why does everyone hate the Subway Takes guy? They're fun videos, he's not bothering anybody, what's the problem

If TERFs were serious, they'd tell Trans women the _real_ scary parts: "Oh, so you've got a vagina now? Now you can get UTIs." 😱😭😱😢😱😭😢

So basically in the UK, any time someone regrets having sex with a trans woman, they can go cry to the police that she "lied" about being a woman and the police and jury will believe them every time. Then the woman will be sentenced to be raped by men in men's prison.

The only politician in America sincerely doing his best to stand up for us, he has earned his place one day in Sto'vo'kor as far as I'm concerned

in ~10-20 years we're gonna find out that this scene in Deus Ex deadass predicted the future also it's not related to the premise of AI becoming a religion but "The unplanned organism is a question asked by Nature and answered by death" goes pretty hard, damn www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmCM...

It's pretty basic, but here we go - this MCP Server will let you connect Claude Desktop or other tools to a Paperless NGX install, so you can make an AI do some of your Adulting for you github.com/anaisbetts/p...

This post was too good for the Nazi site

I regret to say it, but I am forced to admit that Desktop Linux (specifically KDE and no one else), is kind of Good, Actually. So fast! (As long as you don't actually change a setting that makes your computer unbootable which has happened to me several times during this experiment)

Managed to get Manjaro Linux ARM64 running in WSL2 by extracting out the rootfs from the image, should I make a blog post about this? (ps I am very lazy)

New DK game sucks. Controls are weird, and no Diddy Kong? This is the only Donkey Kong in my book, call me back when there's the Rare mod for Bonanza

Most people can’t quite grasp how it feels to read this, but imagine if the federal government commanded every agency to form task forces charged with finding new ways to humiliate you. Then imagine every institution in your life not only folds but starts participating. www.ed.gov/about/news/p...

Every Midnight Society story is good, but this one really outdoes itself

transness has been one of the most incredible spiritual journeys of my life!

It's unfortunate that `winget install` on ARM64 will constantly try to install the wrong architecture unless you force it with --architecture ARM64 - I don't want Intel Anything!

These two goofs are done with school for the year!

In an effort to really embrace its reputation of "Berlin is Chaos", loves to just....turn off traffic lights at giant intersections? It happens constantly
