Are you a mutual that needs to test in Safari but can't justify the cost of a Mac? Send me a message. I've got a little thing going so people who need to can remote in and test with genuine Safari. #Safari #WebKit

Cool. So you cretins voted for brexit, then moaned about how much everything sucked. Now you're voting for reform. How the fuck have you not learned?

Election day, go vote. Don't let the bastards in Reform win.

if people are doing a deserved mass exodus of this site, i will simply say this: i use notepad++ to code the html for my website and publii for the weblog stuff. i would use something else but that requires knowing how to use a terminal and i don't even know what the fuck that is.

So. Skyrocketing ocean temps, tanking economy, anddddd now a new deadly virus. BINGO!

This is amazing. Brilliant way for people to comprehend the enormity of the files with these visuals. Glad the survivors were acknowledged with the bright light of the candles 🕯️

✨ It’s the final day of the launch sale for my new course, Whimsical Animations! The price will nearly double in a few hours. whimsy.joshwcomeau.com You can see the exact amount of time remaining here:

I am a whole-ass 34 years old. An old man. An ancient, decrepit dinosaur. Pretty sure I borked my back typing this.

my review is up 😭 i still can't believe this book is real, that I got to write it.

Went outside to touch grass instead of staring at the screen all day. 0 lines of code written, absolutely unproductive, 10/10, will repeat.

You may not like it, but this is what peak web performance looks like.

For the past 6 years, I’ve been working on developer education full time, on my online courses + blog. It’s been an incredible privilege to be able to focus on this stuff. ✨ I’m starting to wonder, though, whether the business model I’ve chosen is sustainable. Let me explain… 🧵

Masterpiece.

Please reach out to me on signal at ezitron.76 if you are willing to share the contractual terms under which you pay for GPU compute - number of GPUs, how many years, and how much per gpu or per KW/MW. Similarly, how much you pay Anthropic or OpenAI as a business. Thanks! Even if it’s in the past.

I have an announcement! 🏫 I’ve just taken a handful of lessons from my new course and made them public, 100% free. You don’t even have to register for anything. 😄 I call it the Whimsical Animation Open House. The doors are open until the launch sale ends, early next week. ✨

There's some unbelievably good tools in this collection and there are loads to choose from. Our favourite is the simple font file explorer. tools.rmv.fyi

@procreate.com just curious – is this a Procreate thing or an Apple thing? More importantly, is there a way to turn this off? I usually bust out Procreate on the plane where wifi is not an option.

Destroyed, by oligarchs and the prostitutes who serve them.. The SCOTUS6 should die in prison.

This shit is so fucking tired. Can you at least invent a new way of being evil? Hundreds of years, and you're still stuck on 'white people better'. Look in the fucking mirror, man!

The Venn diagram of AI investors and people in the Epstein files is a circle, just in case anyone was wondering what this is really all about.

All this DiscourseTM is making me feel loopy. Gotta get out and touch grass again soon. - Photo taken in Caminho do Xisto de Casal de S Simão, Portugal, last month

Since google decided to officially get in bed with the pentagon, I have decided to finally spend a day migrating my domain & email to Gandi and was once again reminded what an absolute shitshow the google admin UI is.

I don't want to rubber ducky with an AI. I want to rubber ducky with a real human. The AI might be able to tell me if my code is technically sound, but the human dev who's been at the company for 8 years will tell me if the business logic makes sense. And share a meme while they're at it.

Free newsletter: The economics of AI don't make sense. Monthly subscriptions to AI services are scams that represent a product that is impossible for OpenAI and Anthropic to provide long term, and AI data centers are an economic disaster at scale. www.wheresyoured.at/ais-economics-dont-make-sense/

The more we outsource our problem-solving to programs, the more I think about studying programming beyond webdev. Yeah sure, Claude can just do it for me, but at least my brain can shit out a half-baked app for free. The goal is to shit out a fully-baked app for free.

A few years ago, I got my mom an ipad and apple pencil for christmas to replace her 20 year-old (that's right, 20) Dell laptop who finally passed (RIP, you little silver legend). She has since then been using Procreate to paint whatever she wants – no selfconsciousness, no social media, no goals.

Hey you – knowing how shit works still matters, and it'll still matter when the bubble bursts. Here's a great resource on how JS actually runs (if you struggle with promises like I used to, this one's for you!)

I never thought much about DIY computing (despite working in tech, I was told I wasn't "technical" for most of my life) but as The Shitshow progresses, I am becoming increasingly curious about maintaining my own servers and my own Linux kernel. I'm not the only one who's tired of being the product.

We’re building a user-friendly WebAssembly language reference on MDN! Want to help make Wasm more accessible? We’re looking for technical writers and reviewers to join the project. Start here if you're interested: github.com/mdn/mdn/issu...

Let's imagine for a moment that the US and/or EU ban building data centres. Guess where they'll be built instead – countries with no regulations, who are also be the first affected by climate change. All we're doing is brushing our dirt into everyone else's front yard.

A great reminder for us all. Don't get nostalgic and get surfing instead. tylergaw.com/blog/the-old...

It fills me with genuine joy to see a studio produce not only top-caliber work, but maintain top-caliber ethics. As a Bristol lad (once a Bristolian, always a Bristolian), it feels me with an even more special kind of joy when said studio is based in the South West.
