Omfg, it’s“Sauvignon Blanc” not “Savvyon Blanc”. #TVNZ #OneNews

The mouth is smiling but the eyes don’t lie. She literally says people are sick because they haven’t given their money to her god (via her bank account). A complete charlatan.

The scene with Jodie Comer and Ralph Fiennes was probably the only redeeming part of “28 Years Later”.

Pretty cool, we updated a #Blazor project from .NET6 to .NET10, switched from Blazor Server to SSR, and updated the project to follow the new template structure in less than 10min :)

Well, that’s a depressing read for a Friday.

I can promise you with absolute certainty that watching a video of yourself is much, much worse.

Jeremy Coney used to coach my soccer team at primary school. I was friends with his son and we’d play indoor cricket at his place with bats signed by international cricketers.

All those redundant white collar workers are also not going to be in a position to buy stuff. So while it might appeal to shareholders, I believe the net effect will be negative. slashdot.org/story/26/02/...

The story behind “rebeccapurple” is so sad and yet so heartwarming. zeldman.com/2014/06/10/t...

What’s the bet our man Sunny is somehow financially linked to this office space? www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

“I'm a frontend dev” … ”I do have a very basic understanding of HTML” The state of web dev in 2026. 😒

Post a banger not in English youtu.be/6TR12QnOAzE?...

I signed up for a Medium account to read a bunch of articles on a given topic (@htmx.org) and I’m pretty sure the vast majority are AI output. They all follow similar story arcs (“I replaced React with HTMX and everyone cheered”) Super, super, disappointing.

“One Battle After Another” was a great watch. The cold open is pretty full-on, even disorienting, but stick with it. The cat chase scenes in the desert are awesome. Sean Penn’s character is just so loathsome and sad in equal measure. Very contemporary with what is going on the USA right now.

Every time I read an opinion piece by convicted fraudster Damian Grant, I regret it e.g. “Covid, like our first schoolyard crush, never happened. Move on.”

I went to Kmart Petone today. I will not be going back anytime soon. Absolute chaos.

Context: this speech is from SIR THOMAS MORE, a history written, as near as scholars can tell, in the early 1600s by 6 or 7 people including Dekker, Heywood, Chettle, Shakespeare, and Munday. It was never performed, because Jacobean England was a police state and it was banned by the censor.

Is Jason Walls the only reporter employed at TVNZ now or something?

The Pitt got greenlit for a season 3, out next February, and the announcement has very funny comment from HBO chairman Casey Bloys that’s like “yeah, turns out if you just make a TV show like how we used to make TV shows you can have a 15+ episode season every year 🤷‍♂️”

Remember, WinRAR has made more money than OpenAI.

It apparently costs about US$124K to mine a single bitcoin, which is worth US$87.5K www.neowin.net/news/this-is...

Four-time Grammy Award nominee Jesse Welles performs his song "Join Ice." Bob Dylan once said a single folk singer could defeat an entire army. Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have our man.

Web development got so complicated that in the last 10 yrs we saw the need abstract away the physical operating system code runs on, on the theory that this makes apps easier to compile, build, test, & deploy. In practice we created a Tower of Babel of dog poop stacked upon more layers of dog poop

if you want a vision of the future, winston, imagine a PM clicking "accept changes" forever

Some awful things happening today, and a lot of video showing what really happened. But a lot of videos that were there an hour or two ago are now gone. If you want to make sure evidence isn't erased, be aware tools like this exist. www.bskydownloader.com

10 years of OpenAI: 2015: $0 profit 2025: Still $0 profit (but in a blazer) Lost ~$8B in 2025. Projected $14B loss in 2026. Deutsche Bank estimates $143B in negative cash flow before profitability. But hey, at least they upgraded from the t-shirt. That's progress, right?

while I cannot condone violence I do appreciate that htmx has proven useful!

So apparently the iOS keyboard improves dramatically when you disable slide to type. And based on the typing in this post, I would say it is correct. Not a single correction was needed.

As much as I love Labradors, their drive to eat ANYTHING is incredibly frustrating. All our plants have to be kept out of reach to stop ours eating the dirt. And don’t get me started on the cat shit…

one again, who provides shelter in an emergency?

I was present for the birth of the web, the explosion of personal sites, and the blogging revolution, and you know what we never had to do? Beg people to use our shit.

“Cloud native” has become the excuse for wiring your entire system to one provider and calling it modern. New Simplicity-First essay: “Stop Calling It ‘Cloud Native’ When It’s Just Vendor Lock-In with Extra Steps.” Why your stack is cloud captive, not cloud agnostic.

It's "splashback". I will die on this hill.

If you are stopping in Taupo and need a Pad Thai, I 100% recommend Taupo Thai Infusion. www.taupothaiinfusion.co.nz

My assessment of Taupo so far: boomers, utes, bra tops, small dogs - in any combination.

And yet subs still go up for “reasons”

Our six-month-old, $$$, bells and whistles KitchenAid kettle developed a fault. After some faffing about with the CGA we got a refund. We bought a stovetop for $40 from Briscoes which turns out to be quieter, larger, and because of induction, faster.

Dry Creek was ridiculous last week. Lost my sunglasses, though.

A whimsical yet functional security addition to my app based on a door keypad - mainly just to stop any drive-by access. The keypad itself uses Hyperscript (hyperscript.org) because it makes client-side interactivity simple. #HTMX #Hyperscript

Holy balls, creating an app in AWS is about 100x more complicated than Azure.
