At the doctor’s and the TV in here is on Channel 7 with some morning talk show, and all they’re talking about is purely American content and commentary. I hate it here

Since uBlock Origin Lite came out alongside macOS Tahoe, Safari is shockingly usable now. Damn fast too.

For some reason, variable fonts have broken in both Firefox and Chromium on macOS Tahoe, but not Safari. What a bother.

I don't even remember how we made complex (web) interfaces before React

I adore how fast @skeetdeck.bsky.social is but there's a few bugs that have been bothering me for a while... I have no experience with solid js but maybe I should take a look anyway 🤔

More true than I realized when I made it.

Material 3 Expressive is literally the ugliest fucking thing I have ever seen

Systems programmers have to be the coolest people on earth. Kernel developers, people who work with low-level languages and people who make computers do things with the aim of more performance and better efficiency, are all masterful wizards who are cool as fuck

If I don't meet this deadline, it's 100% because of react-hook-form

Just spent a good half hour trying to figure out why clicking some button in our app caused my FPS to drop from 120 to 30, only to figure out that it's because my laptop entered power-saving mode from low battery without telling me... 😭😭😭

Soo, IPv6 was disabled in my modem's settings and that's why my internet was so slow despite having 500mb/s download... (sobbing)

we can go back even earlier

ATProto is turning out to be a single account for your entire online social existence. Watch videos and comment from your Bsky account, visit a blog and leave a message/comment (which are basically replies to a post...) This feels like a little slice of early internet *fun* is back

Spotify's raising prices again, so I think it's finally time I cancel. Absolutely shameful platform.

Also switched from deck.blue to Skeetdeck. God, deck.blue was so fucking slow. No doubt from using Flutter under the hood. No one should ever use Flutter for *anything*. Just wish Skeetdeck had auto-refresh.

my bsky feed is 90% hidden due to my strict muted keywords list (mentioning america in any form) and 10% furry art at this point

If an individual offering consensual nudes of themself on OnlyFans is considered “illicit” but a program generating nudes of women without their consent is fine, the powers that be have made their priorities clear. And they’re the same as they ever were.

My clear game boy colour is complete!

@gaiaslastlaugh.bsky.social Elderly and Disabled Struggled to Evacuate Amid Japan Tsunami Warnings barrierfreejapan.com/2025/08/02/e...

On X, Masaki Nobushiro posts a recurring (and useful) drawing about how people wrongly think a 1m tsunami is a cresting wave when it's actually a wall of water filled with dangerous and deadly debris that's strong enough to sweep up a car. #tsunami

Dyson received my vacuum at 9am this morning, and I just got an email (12pm) saying it has been repaired and is on its way back to me. 3 hours??? That's incredible.

So my fucking Dyson vacuum just shot sparks up my arm. That can’t be good.

Did Spotify finally get Hi-Res audio or something? I listen to this one playlist every single night and for some reason, all of the songs now sound more clear, yet full and raw. I feel like I’m going crazy??

Uh oh, is Bsky having issues again

If you load this page it contacts 82 IP addresses executing 256 separate HTTP transactions to download 18MB of data writing 64 cookies to your device to tell you “no”

They can't be fucking serious

I don't need a pomodoro timer to help me study, I need a gun to my head

Unfortunately for democracy, the majority of people are utterly fucking stupid

The discover feed on here is so ass. I can only use this app to scroll the few people I follow in my following feed, then close it and go back to Twitter for the dopamine. I wish I could get rid of Twitter but Bluesky really still can’t compare.

Witnessed the solemn ceremony of the AEC worker using the official Purple Ruler to shove the voting papers further down into the ballot box.

Even with over 70 muted words and phrases, and tapping “See less like this” a countless number of times, I think the Discover feed is actually just useless. Literally can’t get rid of American political content at all.

i love how all american propaganda about china is just some lowkey racist shit and all chinese propaganda about america is just a random fact about america

Someone once said NextDoor is the social network for dogs if they could type. It’s always “what’s that noise?” and “who’s that stranger?” which is exactly what I imagine my dogs would text other neighborhood dogs.

With so many devices having Li-ion batteries these days, should I be looking into like, special types of fire extinguishers or something to just... keep around?

Thank fuck for Goblin Tools. Spent the whole day hyperventilating over a new task, and then I just typed in what the outcome needed to be/what I had to do, and it told me each step I needed to take in order to achieve it—the only good legitimate use of AI (disability support)

ネコ飛出し注意 (neko tobidashi chūi) Means “watch for cats darting out” and I love this sign.

“The protesters are being paid” A: No, obviously. B: Conservative voters in Wisconsin were being paid with the chance for a million dollars and then STILL lost. By a lot. What’s your excuse?

wokeness was keeping the economy afloat. wokeness kept planes in the air. wokeness kept us all safe

You can tell time travel was never invented because they’re both still alive

Why’s it so hard to get Australian news in my Discover feed on here. Everything’s always just “America, America, America, hey look at me! Heeeey, loook over heeeere!!! America woooo!!!!”

👍

lol, youtube added a clickthrough warning modal to save people from getting rickrolled. afaict it's the only video that has it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4...

Dunno if I have the motivation to continue this iOS 19 mockup, but thought I'd share it anyway

Never fails to entertain

DuckDuckGo’s mobile app is so disappointing. I don’t need another “safe browsing” app, I already have Firefox. You are a search engine. There should be a big search bar in the middle of the screen when I open you, ready to search my query. I don’t want to have to press new tab every time I open you.

Why is it that you can never get the same quality of display output with TFT_eSPI, LVGL, etc etc. than old dumb feature phones could in the 2000s? These screens are newer and the frameworks have much more powerful processors to utilise now. What's going on??

Unilever's brands in Australia: Ice cream: Ben & Jerry's, Cornetto, Streets (Golden Gaytime, Paddle Pop, etc.) Weis, Magnum Foods: Marmite, Continental, Cup-a-soup Skin/hair/body: Dove, Dermalogica, LUX, Vaseline, TRESemmé, Clear, Lynx, Rexona, VO5 Laundry/cleaning: OMO, Jif, Domestos, Surf

Take a moment to remember the events of 3/11. Pray for peace for those still hurting. Check your go bags and review your local evacuation plans. ❤️
