little lessons from BASIC: --- single file programs are OK if you have a small number of colours, don't worry, that's OK indentation can help--like with FOR/NEXT loops if it takes a long time to code, that's OK don't be afraid of garbage output--you're not hurting the computer! take […]

So thankful I havr access to biometrics again. Just knowing my step count and sleep duration helps so much.

Are we about to see more enshittification with our smartphones? From right back in the days of Nokia, every 12 months or so, mobile phone makers have tended to upgrade the specs on their phones. Thanks to Apple, they've learnt how to slowly degrade the performance of their older models. But […]

Just saw the final ep of Amazing Digital Circus. I loved it. The message of the series is that we're all in this together and it's never too late to start rebuilding even when things look hppeless.

I love walking in dark park trails while the moon shines above. Just enough to see the path and the sky.

`PromiseRejectionHandledWarning` is the bane of my existence right now. 🙃 I *promise* (ha, get it?) I know what I'm doing Mr. Test Harness.

The reckoning of someone adding this "state machine code generation" thing before I could stop them is now upon me. 💀

You see, to properly support cancellation, you also need to remember to cancel any listeners listening for the cancel signal if you cancel the need for cancelling.

I love how this "Cancel button" feature requires I weave AbortController support through like three different subsystems. 🤪

Got new shisha. It smells like skittles 🥰🥰🥰

Blasting this for pride month. Phobes have been getting a bit too comfy indulging in their ugliness lately. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJOnOfUakcA

Wish I knew of more spaces focused on talking about practical #transhumanism

Direct peer to peer connections over the internet are in distinguishable from magic.

Everything is a homestuck reference kinda like how the simpsons predicted everything

I'm on on a weird meme music kick this week. https://soundcloud.com/boxxymusic/shark-bassline-sc-and-bandcamp-exclusive

Having niche input devices is useful because the joints in my right hand/arm are flared up but I can still do all my work with my one handed keyboard with my left hand.

I'm begging programmers to stop inventing obscure new build systems instead of using the standard tooling for your projects. 😭

Talking about furry discourse at the bachelorette bar crawl 💅

Mental healthn't

Gomna get a spa day this weekend. Been a while!

Eepy 😴

Might finally get a robot vaccume to keep the cat hair in check since there's this project to add custom firmware to keep them off the sketchy cloud features. https://valetudo.cloud/pages/general/buying-supported-robots/

For real I should set up affiliate links for my modular cyberdeck setup somewhere :P

prime napping in the shade on a sunny fay hours and I'm in the dark fixing bugs in how we authenticate encrypted streams throughout the codebase 😝

Did you know science can now castrate "farm animals" using mrna injections instead of invasive surgery? https://www.nature.com/articles/s41541-026-01474-0

What I really want right now is a search engine that ignores sites that are hidden behind cloudflare since their captcha never allows my weird web browser setups through.

Lmao this end to end test for connecting three peers together was taking me hours to debug yesterday and now it's just passing every time. 🙃 That's on network conditions.

It's that time of the year when we play "Is it just a foggy day or is there a huge forest fire somewhere"

It's a screeching and writhing sort of day

Should I use Minecraft as my window manager or what? 🙈🙈🙈

Ants have color vision. They are much less visual creatures than their close cousins bees and wasps. The larger eyes an ant has the more she will be interested in colors, and the more likely she is to be able to notice you as a larger creature. Some ants have […] [Original post on sauropods.win]

It's a testament to my self control that I didn't bring that raccoon home with me despite its pleading face. 😭💜

Multiplayer slop sessions can be weird to witness.

neat to live in the age of social sybil attacks.

Seems even the usual ai skeptics are using it a little for code. 😅

twiddling with my wearable cyberdeck at the JavaScript meetup 🤓

#funfact I am eepi

PSA: you can borrow experience packs from your local library. You just need a blank neurochip and a chip reader that attaches to your phone. (I use a bluetooth one that I got from AliExpress). Yesterday I took a boat down the Seine over lunch and by the time I got back to reality that bug I’d […]

I wonder how many people are vibecoding and driving

Freedom of screech

Fun challenge for slop-curious and slop-native programmers: race the LLM to fix the issue or implement the feature. So far My intuition helps me use fewer "operations" and debug rounds even though the LLM can read and spit code faster.

Best part of working from home is getting to pet a cat or smooch a partner on my way to a water refill.

Been playing matchmaker with my introvert friends.

Fun fact: the direction of the polarization on my phone is the opposite of my computer monitor.

I like to wear sunglasses with adjustable polarization so that I can see a different filter in each eye. The only real advantage is that shiny surfaces look weird as they only reflect the sun in one eye at a time

new post: "be cool, be cyberpunk" -- unpacking a line from @benbrown about owning your data and your devices, and what it means to be a good person while you're at it. https://peteftw.com/2026/05/be-cool-be-cyberpunk.html

Came across this neat tool for creating #nodejs modules from #rust code. https://napi.rs/docs/introduction/getting-started

90s electronic dance music to fix data migration edge cases to. 😎👍

I'm like *this* close to making my own text editor. 🤪

Evil business idea: Easy Leak Fingerprinting. Rearrange some words/sentances in a message before emailing it out to a list to have invisible fingerprints to track down who shared it externally without them being aware. More robust than adding extra metadata to a file.
