As a long time Survivor fan I was utterly disgusted by this week's episode. It was an ad for a musician I've never heard of and his promotion of murdering animals for fun. This is not the 49.5 seasons of Survivor I have enjoyed. And don't get me started on his whiny singing voice.

All Americans should root for the downfall of a wicked regime that tries to dictate religion to its citizens. And also the one in Iran.

It's only agentic if it's from the Agent region of France, else it's just sparkling automation.

2026, when you still have to roll a web server from scratch when working with AWS. I wonder if it would be more expedient to port CloudFlare Workers to Lambda...

About to watch the Fate of the Union Address

Just a heads up to any developers considering LocalStack for AWS. Please avoid it. They have dodgy bait-and-switch practices. It cost me $1500 to learn that their premium offering does not support what they say it does. Their ToS says they don't refund. Despite monthly pricing, they charge annually.

I am not named in the Epstein files.

Anthropomorphising AI assistants like Gemini with human-sounding voices and responses is dangerous and costly. I want my assistant to sound like a robot, so that I never forget it is just a robot.

The question "create new contact or add to existing contact" is such bad ux. I have no idea. Show me the existing contacts you think might match. Give me a search field. Help me out here.

Catching up on Trump's verbal diarrhoea session at Davos. Holy shit! Literally, shit full of holes (lies, mistruths and misunderstandings). Does he deliberately call wind turbines windmills? Or does he not understand they are two different things?

Quit talking about Trump. Address everything, every issue to Miller and Vought. Make Trump irrelevant, his ego will not let him be out of the spotlight and you’ll see Miller and Vought removed and the rest of the administration collapse.

At this point, America is beyond simply rebooting or powering off and on again. `format usa: /u` Make America, again

Platinum 67 - Venba. Lovely indie game about cooking & an immigrant experience. I totally related to the story having immigrants parents myself & being born & raised in Toronto. Can't wait to see what the developers do next! @visaigames.bsky.social #PS5 #PlatinumTrophy

Silence. Beauty.

A watched CloudFormation stack never completes.

It is clear to me that Christianity, as demonstrated by a large number of Americans, is one of the nastier cults.

The guy shot two random people with a gun, I don't think you can say he wasn't assimilating into our culture

I am convinced code editors are the new CMS in that every organisation seems to be creating one. Almost everyone is using the open source version of VSCode as a starting point. At least we don't have hundreds of CMS products all forked from WordPress.

FFS! It is only a cease fire until the next gun is fired.

It's a good job I wasn't driving when that stupid emergency alert went off. I jumped so high I would have gone off the road.

You don't realise how much of the web runs on Cloudflare until Cloudflare goes down.

bringing this one back because it shouldn't die with twitter

Note to tv writers: it is now 2025 (almost 2026). You can't continue to use a physical answering machine playback to advance your storyline. Nobody uses them anymore and it puts a bit plot hole in your narrative.

"Jack Dorsey Releases Vine Reboot Where AI Content Is Banned" I would be ecstatic if someone rebooted Instagram with no AI and no Ad content. #JustSharePicturesTakenByNormalPeople #RealCreativity futurism.com/future-socie...

A nice sunny start to the week, with a sprinkling of early-season snow.

I was making dinner and thinking to myself, "I am eating late tonight". Then I looked at my phone. 18:06 Damn you, clock changes!

Am I the only person who finds it extremely alarming that Microsoft Teams mixes chats from completely different accounts?

What can possibly be worse than JIRA? Rovo, Atlassians' miserable excuse for an AI agent.

In completely unrelated news, for the last couple of weeks I've been working to befriend the crows of my neighborhood. I carry peanuts in my pockets when I walk around, and if I see any crows I drop a couple and walk on. They do seem to be noticing. I will keep you posted.

I just had an absolutely terrifying thought. What if Microsoft Teams got together with Atlassian JIRA and had a baby?

Just when you think this world cannot get any worse, you learn that Jane Goodall has died.

All those people who flatly refused to wear masks during COVID, citing breathing issues, re-inhaling germs, and all sorts of other nonsense, are now likely working as masked ICE agents.

@scruss.bsky.social and @eightlines.bsky.social I have to put together a Halloween prop that is going to use a Pi Pico, something like a DFPlayer and a couple of strips of Neopixels. Nothing major. What Canadian company would you recommend for online orders and quick delivery these days?

AI can't sort.

I've said it before, and I am sure I will say it again, but I do wonder how many billions of dollars of lost productivity are directly attributable to organisations forcing Microsoft Teams on their employees and partners?

I am preparing a complete rewrite of Gilbert, my open-source text file compiler for building static sites. Latest tests have it clocking a respectable ~150 pages/second. I have replaced NodeJS streams with Web API Streams to let it work in Cloudflare workers. #ServerlessOnDemandCMSPublishing

"Every cancel has an equal and opposite recancel" Just cancelled my Disney+ subscription. I was already planning on getting rid of it, as I have exhausted the limited catalogue of watchable shows. But then they iced the cake.

America: where people mocking a dead Nazi podcaster suffer more consequences than a pedophile president

Thank you @addyosmani.bsky.social for being the one to call out the distinction between vibe coding and AI assisted engineering. What a good read: open.substack.com/pub/addyo/p/...

The discussion of giving AI rights is quite ironic given human rights are being taken away at a frightening pace

Given the overwhelming amount of damage the Trump administration has wrought, the Democrats' next campaign slogan should be "Make America, Again". As in, they are going to have to rebuild the country from the ground up.

Worse time for my broadband to die. What did I miss? Was it real Trump, Weekend at Bernie's Trump or AI Trump?

Will Trump be physically present for the 2 pm announcement? Or will it be via video (AI)?

Assuming he's sick, l just pray he follows the medical advice of "one of the world's foremost voices, advocates and experts on public health," RFK Jr.

Up late fixing some #AWS infrastructure. Did #Cloudformation take the weekend off? Templates are taking forever to deploy. And of course, by deploy I mean eventually fail with some esoteric reason that requires more dev and another deployment. Ad infinitum.
