welcome to the year of linux desktop

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

Slinky tired of bending over backwards for your entertainment

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software. Just fuck you. Fuck you all. I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

"Code doesn't have to be as perfectly crafted the way we did it pre-AI" That's gonna hold up really well when a reactor explodes due to software wonkiness ​:drgn_cool_fingergun:​

i think most people who are genuinely upset at undertale being badly coded or whatever are just mad they cant pull off what toby did

keep in mind undertales development quite literally started because toby fox read about arrays on wikipedia and realized he can make a dialog system with that, he didnt even know about *arrays* and made a full game in 3~ years, thats impressive as shit, u dont need good code just be dedicated enough

a lot of people come out of a hole wearing "Certified Professional Game Developer" hats and say their favorite word "Unoptimized" when they hear that something was "coded slightly badly but still does what the programmer wanted it to"

nothingburger complaint incoming, i find the whole "toby fox is a bad programmer" or "undertale programmed poorly" shit annoying. like idk man he tried. have you tried to make a game? cuz i can tell you that most games are gonna have at least one questionable coded thing in them

Last year around this time I started getting into Nix. It's a build tool, a programming language, a package manager, and a whole lot more. From version pinning, to configuration management, to background services — Nix has it all. Read more about my adventures with Nix: cybar.dev/blog/nixvers...

this is really good from Jill at Denver Streets Partnership. https://www.westword.com/opinion/sacrificing-convenience-for-safety-in-denver-40820375/ we’ve been designing streets for maximum driver throughput at the expense of everyone else since the 1940s. It’s time to acknowledge the hidden […]

Generative AI placeholders could never come up with something like this unhinged banger that never got changed in N64's California Speed

i think being nice to people is a good thing

Since Polygon is leaving it out of the headline: Epic Games partnered with The Game Awards to put money into the pocket of a bigot who uses her wealth to further the genocide of trans people through lawsuits and legislation. Every 'free' game gives money directly to JKR, and they are complicit.

This is my browsing experience. Many React sites crash because cookies are disabled by default in my Firefox. This is why I want to eliminate React from the planet.

"What if AI-"

bold of you to assume the 2 braincells left even work

use of generative AI is the late stage of giving up. gave up as an artist? use generative AI. gave up as a musician? use generative AI. gave up as a business? use generative AI. maybe it even works well for you, but you're not gonna shake the fact that in order to get there, you gave up.

Recently found @sveltiacms.app, which brought back the joy in writing blogs. Full story: cybar.dev/blog/sveltia...

Oh, ok. I see it now. I'm going to wake up from this horrible nightmare and it's actually 2003 and I fell asleep working on my fun little web page in php4. Any minute now... I'm gonna wake up...

Recently added a cute little watermelon stamp to my website. Simple, right? Not quite. What was originally a raster (PNG) exported from Pixilart, I turned into a hand-coded vector image (SVG) that reduced the filesize by ~90% with lossless quality.

This is such a nice Git-based headless CMS, it’s truly amazing. I’m very impressed. A lot more customizable and performant than Decap, and it’s responsive on mobile. This might be what finally gets me to blog more often. 😁 PS: for now you have to first set up Decap, then migrate; it’s pretty easy.

"Use our GenAI shit that product managers push on you and will force it into your work flow so that we get skewed Satistics to satisfy the shareholders"

We don’t want AI slop. Stop sending us AI slop. Stop wasting our time with AI slop. It doesn’t sound good. It’s antithetical to our core values. You didn’t even make it. Knock it off.

This year, I'd like to thank all of the free/open source project contributors and maintainers who build all sorts of amazing things :)

I don’t just write my resume — I deploy it. Last few months I’ve been using Typst to write my resume and have a CI workflow that compiles PDFs and publishes them on my website. It’s working great and I wanted to document what went behind the scenes, so here’s a new post: cybar.dev/blog/resume-...

[discussion of AI] I sometimes find the AI bros less exhausting than the people who are neutral-to-critical about AI, but who can't stop arguing with people about how they are against AI for the wrong reasons, not against AI for the right reasons, too mad about this one aspect of AI, not mad […]

For reference - virtually everyone committed to the actual degrowth believes space colonies are no more real than elves or dragons - the physics and cost-benefit ratios are utterly insane. This is, in fact, the position of actual astrophysicists (read the book, it's free!) bsky.app/profile/yard...

I agree with the whole article but I have yet to come across anyone who advocates for the second type of “degrowth” and calls it by that name… I wonder how common that stance is. 🤔
