EFF is finally leaving X and here is a blog post about why: www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

Congratulations to the ASF for taking a truly astronomical amount of money from Anthropic, making it the only noncontraversially useful money Anthropic will have ever spent in its short lifetime

God remember when we used to post thirst traps on main? Those were the fuckin days

1/4🧵 A brief summary of what the #Trump regime has achieved in its war with #Iran after 5 weeks: a) The Strait of Hormuz is closed. It was open before the war began. b) #China and #Russia observe that the #US has not adapted to drone warfare. ⤵️

If your Open Source project sees a steep increase in number of high quality security reports (mostly done with AI) right now (#curl, Linux kernel, glibc confirmed) please tell me the name of this project. (I'd like to make a little list for my coming talk on this.)

Hot take: it's good for websites to go down. They should all go down.

*waves arms around at everything* fuuck

I've lost the preview link of it but I've been thinking about this article and the idea of things becoming "an everything crisis" because of the war in Iran since yesterday www.ft.com/content/a9f5...

Today I learned I can read German

Pollen 🥲

What really gets my goat is that I've really dedicated my life to this whole Internet thing only for things to get measurably worse in the last 10 years

It should be noted that by "ignore local zoning rules" all they're really doing is not providing a parking space for every unit they intend to build, which is required in Vancouver.

The backstory here is that the Squamish people of what is now Vancouver were illegally dispossessed of this land a century ago. They sued, got their land back, and are using their sovereignty to ignore local zoning rules and build 6,000 new homes over the objections of nearby wealthy NIMBYs.

this is huge for 11 year old gwen variety.com/2026/tv/news...

OH: "as head of devrel you all you do is defend your team from being laid off"

How's the layoffs going everyone?

Once again/as always, this is not a joke but happy birthday to me

Imagine trying to call a private gestapo down on these people???

*sighs* mom the kids are trying to summon Mahoraga on the northern line again 😮‍💨

"British food sucks" is a genuinely weak take IMHO

I wish I had more Bridgerton to watch

I'm not an army and I don't want the armies to come at me but it feels like arirang, for a 100% Korean group that speaks Korean and references Korean spoken word/musical histories is uh, awfully shy about actually singing in Korean or leaning into that history

I just watched Linda Linda Linda in theatres and I had no idea that Son was a young bae doona. Wild

If you're an open source lover and infrastructure person (aka were roaming the halls of #KubeCon or will find all the storage and data pipeline talks at #ATmosphereConf), @roost.tools is looking for you! We've got fully remote, Infrastructure Engineering roles now open: roost.tools/infrastructu...

I love the hope in @masnick.com's piece here (and appreciate being quoted), but I want to add an important bit of context — whether it's possible for LLMs to enable anything open to survive depends on who has power over those LLMs. Right now, that's fascists. Which is why the open web is in danger…

It's been over 10 years since Big Bang released the MADE series and I need the various regions Spotify operates in to realize I never, ever want to listen to the Japanese versions of these songs

Hear me out: what if I proposed an "open source project plumbing" devroom at FOSDEM next year to talk about these kinds of boring but necessary things

I'm thinking of writing a blog post w.r.t: (open source) project mentorship/early techni-governance decisions that need making mindfully, how this all pertains to making your first website Does anyone have favorite blog posts on release strategy/cutting a release in GitHub? repost for reach! 🙇‍♀️

i believe that all children should have formative imaginative experiences about attacking and dethroning god

There are now 100% open source Postgres training materials. www.github.com/Snowflake-La...

How have we not solved the "I need to build a static site with multiple versions of the docs at the same time" problem yet

Lobotomize me :(

It's been over a year and I'm still feeling the sting from NieR: Automata, NieR: Replicant and FFXV.

This was the only correct response

*stares into the existential void* am I... Going to implement Hugo with Docsy on an open source project again

update for Our President

I am having one of the more intense cases of The Mondays I've ever had of late

new personal scandal just dropped and it’s just the fact that I Have A Birthday

You know how in a library no one’s trying to sell you anything? That’s how the internet was.

About to be a lot of people complaining about face-eating leopards in the coffee shops of the bay are

Anyone in London want a solo ticket to Death Cab for Cutie on September 26th? I had to purchase a different ticket to sit w/a friend and now I have a solo ticket to offload 😅

Holy shit we might have a cure for sickle cell anemia

Is there a mean British word for a chav that has money and lives in fashionable East London (i.e. west of Stratford)

I've said it before: I genuinely consider it a moral imperative that people my age and up bang the drum about what the Internet used to be so those younger know that there's nothing inherent about what it is now. The Internet doesn't have to be this; its culture can and has belonged to people.

I heard there was a secret cord that David kept in his cable hoard but he can never find it when he needs it

Wow, what an autopsy from @kennethreitz.bsky.social about his experiences with mental health and life as a very public open source software maintainer.

We can't create new AWS accounts because of Trump's stupid war.
