The Monkey's Paw with "flooding the zone" is that the whole movement becomes the boy who cried wolf. All of America just becomes numb to whatever it is that comes out of your camp. Nobody gives a shit.

Any technology that's even 10% as great as they're telling us it is wouldn't require a mandate to use for your job. You'd *beg* to use it.

I feel seen. This whole industry is so completely unrecognizable from the one I fell in love with.

This is the greatest explanation of the core flaw plaguing the entire software/tech industry. Humans are messy, illogical, and inconsistent. Treating humanity as software is, fundamentally, evil. Even when expressed from the purest and most altruistic intentions. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RKG...

Well, good to know I've got my "from zero to functional macbook" kata down to about an hour or so. Should probably script it at this point lol

Destroying these things will become a moral imperative for the survival of the human race. Hopefully that will happen peacefully and through the democratic process. Hopefully.

Supply chain attackers must be salivating at the thought...

Doing another HK playthrough and gyat dayumn I didn't realize just how much harder Silksong is. My first run through HK was brutal. This one is a walk in the park. Except NKG. That bastard can go to hell 😡

Gonna just start replying to Meta recruiters with this link www.businessinsider.com/meta-new-ai-...

I'd be far, far less critical of all this LLM stuff if they actually gave us controls to turn these features off when not wanted. But the fact that they make it so god damned impossible to opt-out of any of this stuff just lays bare how desperate they are.

How do I get rid of this?

Ok. I get it now.

For the human race to survive we're going to need to take a hard-line stance on climate change. We either do it intentionally, or the planet will force it upon us.

Is it any surprise that nobody is willing to actually fight this regime? We trained an entire generation that standing up to bullies just gets you punished. Our school system entirely abandoned doing the right thing. And now the answer to fascism is "what are we supposed to do?"

First day of my time off. No clue what to do with myself 😅

More and more the Tech industry morphs into the Music industry.

Using LLMs for writing code is like eating fast food.

The actual process of writing the code yourself is more important than the code you write.

Gonna try raw-dogging Spotlight for a bit. Been a die-hard Alfred user for like 14 years, let's see how the defaults hold up. Requiring double-escape to close is already kinda painful.

Just wrapped up my last day at @docker.com after just over 4 years. What a journey. Lots of ups and downs, but overall I'm proud of the work I did there, and proud of the people I worked with. I'm better for having been a part of it. Gonna take a few weeks before starting the new thing.

If the hardcore band’s guitarist looks like this you’re about to die in that pit

I really do love my Steam Deck, but the last thing I would call it is ergonomic. Oof owie my thumbs.

Cove-era Saosin will always have a special place in my heart. And this new track is an absolute banger www.youtube.com/watch?v=DiWc...

The fact that in 2026 I can't put markdown in bsky.app posts makes me some kind of rage

Every time I see somebody talk about how ridiculous the WH Doctor's claims are about the prez I just think "You f--kin idiots. They *know* it's ridiculous. They just want the reaction, and you a--holes gave it to them."

I find it equal parts frustrating and depressing that the open source software I’ve invested so much effort in creating and supporting was used (in at least an attempt) to train our replacements. No good deed goes unpunished, I guess.

Vertical tabs and split windows are making it a bit easier to move away from Arc

The fact that evangelicals were okay with Trump threatening to destroy an entire civilization but drew the line at a picture of him as Jesus tells you everything you need to know about modern Christian morality.

This is very much what I wanted from the React team themselves when they introduced RSCs. A simple, symmetric API: Produce RSC on the server (renderToReadableStream), consume on the client (createFromReadableStream). Bravo, this is :chefs-kiss:

Finally, TanStack Start now supports React Server Components! Start's RSCs are a truly fetchable, cacheable and composable primitive that work with your favorite tools instead of dictating your entire architecture. Oh, and one more thing... "Composite Components" 😉 tanstack.com/blog/react-s...

I almost want to play Silksong again just to fight Carmelita and First Sinner. Those fights were just so damned good.

This is a fun read leehanchung.github.io/blogs/2026/0...

Dear god please stop fading in content on initial load.. Looking at you, linear.app I'm trying to get information, not watch a movie.

This is such a great article. I've spent 4 years trying to instill this kind of thinking into the systems and people I work with. Designers are gonna wanna be unique. Product lines are going to wanna differentiate. It's an uphill battle. essays.johnloeber.com/p/4-bring-ba...

You don't think you'll have to fight. That it will be somebody else who fixes this. You're wrong.

Oh hell yeah, it's Thursday Blegh-day

I think I'm coming to the realization that all the janky Tech Industry "corpo speak" language isn't actually driven by management. It's engineers. We're the problem.

Yup, as much as I think the sequel trilogy and most of Disney-era Star Wars is hot garbage, it *did* end up giving us Andor... and tbh I think that makes it worth it.

I'm fuckin' dead hahahahahaha

Fuck this guy for real

TIL that Lua does two things that make me wanna join a monastery: - `string.find()` matches *patterns* by default - in those patterns, `-` is equivalent to a regex `*?` And what's the only non-alphanumeric character present in UUIDs? (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻

A very rational and reasoned take on why quantity has not, does not, and will not ever reflect quality.

Evolution is unavoidable, unfortunately.

In the 90s metal guitar scene, you were either Team Jackson or Team Ibanez. I definitely picked a side.

So... apparently he's at Walter Reed?

It's 2026, node 26 is going to drop later this year, and we still can't build a web server from a `fetch` function (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

LOL. "America First" amirite nationaltoday.com/us/tx/austin...

guys the fucking fuck the fucking FUCKING fuck please stop this ride I'd like to get off
