This happens all the time and I find it so unhelpful. It looks like tomorrow will be rainy. 60% and a rain symbol. Except when I look at the precipitation details, there’s light rain at 6am. Does this annoy anyone else, or just me?

I've been trying to use Jujutsu lately and I wanted to write about how I transitioned from my Git workflow. I hope you find it useful! baxter.sh/adopting-juj... #jj-vcs

Who robbed the Louvre right answers only

`jj undo` is like magic

"the menswear guy isn't fair and balanced." do you even hear yourself? "fork lady is eroding public confidence." "ladder baby is undermining the credibility of the field." "lemon raccoon is acting without transparency or accountability." that's what you sound like.

Those of you who use RSS/Feed readers. What do you use? What would you recommend?

Hey, #ruby folks! I've been one of the #RubyGems maintainers for the last decade. Ruby Central has forcefully taken control of the RubyGems organization on GitHub, the `rubygems-update` and `bundler` gems on rubygems[.]org, and more. You can read the details here: pup-e.com/goodbye-ruby...

This whole farce with the “Your Party” membership email has left a really bad taste in my mouth. I like Sultana but the email, which used a similar but different URL to the official “Your Party” website for memberships, seems borderline phishing. leftfootforward.org/2025/09/brea...

Lando saying "the baby's name is Grogu, baby" is on repeat in my head. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rr2U...

The last few days I've been trying to get my head around #jj-vcs. I feel like I don't understand some fundamental things. Like, after I do a merge of a PR, I do "jj git fetch", and then on an existing revision I do "jj rebase -d main", and get "Error: Commit d0421057deaf is immutable" ...

I remember reading a fable/anecdote years ago about how when an engineer goes to a conference they say “that was a waste of time, I only learned one or two new things” whereas when a salesperson goes to a conference they say “that was great, I learned one or two new things”

I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.

The Irish ambassador to Germany has conveyed her concern to German authorities after an Irish demonstrator was assaulted by police officers during a pro-Palestine protest in Berlin.

This is a real photograph of Washington, DC this week, where the United States president has ordered military occupation in peacetime, and ordered the display of colossal portraits of himself. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

I'll say it once and I'll say it again. If you think artists are just "naturally talented", you're deeply wrong. The only difference between you and us is that we kept trying when it didn't come out like we hoped. You can always make art yourself. There's no bad time to start, you can start now.

Best description of Mastodon I’ve seen.

I hate that the em dash is now synonymous with AI generated content. Em dash — my beloved…

I'm not using nushell 100% of the time, but it's really nice dipping into it to write things in a more readable way, e.g. finding out which directories take up the most space: ~> du ./* | select path physical | sort-by physical | reverse #nushell

“Your interests help us find what you like!” Ok then please stop showing me sports.

Lizi’s redesigned their packaging and I hate it. Help me understand. Why do I like the packaging on the left and hate the packaging on the right?

Today I did some linocut printing. It was my first time. I liked it. I think I’ll do it again.

Cinderella III: A Twist In Time, is a surprisingly good film. The animation is good. The story is alright. I like it. I should start a Letterboxd account for insight like this.

Every year on April 1st, we at the Ishtar Collective have tried to do something fun. This year I had very big plans, but for a number of reasons, many of them of my own making, they never came to fruition. I’m very proud of the thing we built, and maybe one day I’ll share it, but not today.

Today is April 1st. Be vigilant.

A follow up on this. On Tuesday we replaced Meilisearch Cloud with a $6 DigitalOcean droplet running Meilisearch set up by @wafer.baby. I wanted to start with the smallest instance and scale up based on performance. So far we’ve not had to scale up! $300/month → $6/month Pretty good saving! 😄

The Ishtar Collective’s search bill was $300 this month. That’s like 6 times the cost of all of the other services. 🤯 I think we’ll be moving away from @meilisearch.com’s hosted offering very soon. @wafer.baby is looking at running it ourselves on DigitalOcean.

Muting all mentions of severance until I have a chance to watch the latest episode

I started looking for Instagram alternatives and installed Pixelfed, but the first thing you need to do is pick a server. I feel like any app experience where you need to pick a server is going to turn off a lot of people. Myself included and I’m a massive nerd.

I’m sorry but calling Paw Patrol because you dropped some melons seems like a flagrant misuse of a valuable public service.

I’ve had enough once in a lifetime storms for one lifetime thanks.

Sega released these adverts for the Dreamcast in Japan starring then Managing Director Hidekazu Yukawa and they are great. youtu.be/B_nK7j4G6fQ?...

My current coffee setup. I’d like to replace the grinder at some point. And maybe the artwork. #coffee

This thread is great. I love Dwarf Fortress. I’ve had so many ridiculous things happen to my fortresses. One time a werewolf attacked my base, bit a child and infected him. And as I was mourning, a group of Kobolds attacked and kidnapped him 😂 A rollercoaster of emotions.

The 80s were different, here's a soap ad for Imperial leather. Why oh why don't we all have giant jacuzzi's and robot helpers yet youtu.be/hT1Z3vCxU-s?...

I just don't have the energy or confidence to do social media properly right now. I wrote a book. It's really good. It has beautiful nature writing, it's smart, it's honest in a way that is rare, it covers many important/difficult themes & it's really funny. 'Drystone - A Life Rebuilt' Out 2025

Labelers are pretty cool. Like this one from @engagement-hacks.bsky.social.

Every year Black Friday/Cyber Monday stresses me out. How am I supposed to decide if I want to buy something in a 72-hour window? My usual process when buying anything is to pore over reviews, think about the pros and cons for days, maybe make a list, and then inevitably not buy anything.

Does anyone else write out posts, then go over the character limit, think about splitting it into two posts, then think “why am I even writing this post?” and start to question whether anyone cares, but then think “ah you should post it anyway,” but it’s too late now you’ve gone over the limit agai–

I went to see Wicked today. I loved it. I’ve been a big fan of the musical for like 15 years? Longer? And many times I’ve wondered what a film adaptation would be like. Whether it could live up to the stage musical. And it absolutely did. #wicked

I’m a good friend. 😌

The UN has now formally found Israel's genocide "consistent with genocide", including the use of weaponized starvation. www.ohchr.org/en/press-rel...

Howdy 👋recent joiner of Blue Sky. Looking to move off of X. I work for Squarespace as a Senior Staff Engineer. Was previously managing the Unfold/Social team. I work predominantly in Swift but also starting to refresh my knowledge of Kotlin.

This view stopped me in my tracks this morning. The grass was glistening. It felt like winter.

Something I like about Bluesky is being able to use “custom feeds” which basically means custom algorithms. For example this one shows me only posts from the people I’m following. No reposts. No replies. No suggestions. It’s my favourite feed. bsky.app/profile/skyf...

I just found out that in the settings under 'accessibility' is a button you can click that won't let you post images without alt text, and I am glad of that reminder. Alt text is a simple way to make social media more accessible to many people.
