This is the kind of thing the Internet was made for.

Manifest V3 isn't the end of ad blockers, but it is a significant blow to their utility. Limiting blocklists to 330,000 domains and providing no way to dynamically update them without just updating the whole extension makes it trivial to make an unblockable ad provider if you can afford 20 domains.

I don't know if anyone else is watching From, but I'd love to talk to you about it. Not here though, we must first walk to another location to continue this dialogue.

I got accepted into my Uni's PhD program with a stipend, worked as a lecturer, tutor, and in private industry (part time). I had to quit the PhD program because my partner lost her hospitality job during COVID and we were trying to move out of my parent's house. 🧵

A really neat side effect to the brick form factor is portion control is so much easier to communicate to kids with Weetbix (Australian) than basically any other cereal. "Fill the bowl" obviously depends on the bowl, 250g requires a scale, but "2 bricks" is childsplay.

This tangentially ties into another point: the fact that LLM code assistants can exist at all means we have all collectively spent *way* too much time solving the same problems over and over

Rewatching Voyager has definitely been the best part of recovering from bad food poisoning. I'm especially loving the episode Pathfinder, where Reg creates a holodeck simulation of the Voyager crew. Officially, to refine his ideas with, and unofficially to flatter his ego and tell him he's a genius.

Extremely WIP, but I've got the latest version of @repebble.com's SDK working reasonably well with Cargo. LSP support and properly representing dependencies in WafLib elude me, but a call to `pebble build` properly invokes cargo, passing C flags for SDK bindgen, and compiles for all platforms.

How else will the classroom be web scale?

Welp there’s no unseeing this

I still don't believe this reflects "actual costs" accurately back to the users. Microsoft are idiots, but even they know they can't go from heavy subsidy to reasonably priced in one move. That's also ignoring the usual enshitification once they need to show profit growth.

Silicon Valley forgot that the implicit step 3 to their stupid "move fast and break things" motto was to make things people would use.

You used to be able to google the time of the sunset, and Google would give you the exact time right on top every single time. Thankfully, with artificial intelligence, you can now ask Google what time the sun will set and it will conveniently tell you "I don't know."

Now that Android Auto uses Gemini for voice control it has gotten substantially worse at the only two things I need it for: "Play X by Y" and "Directions to Z". My favorite example so far is plugging it into a *car* and asking for directions to Cyclo Monnah and it giving my bicycle routes in Moonah.

Microsoft: You have to upgrade to Windows 11 otherwise you'll be vulnerable to malware such as crypto miners and key loggers! Also Microsoft:

We must secure the existence of our vehicles and a future for white SUVs, because the beauty of the White ICE pickup must not perish from the earth.

It's so disappointing that we've made computers so unapproachable that for most people chatbots are the first time they feel like they can actually automate their work. Automator for OSX, PowerAutomate on Windows, IFTTT, these have all existed for decades in one form or another.

I first seriously started contributing to Rust projects by helping #Bevy become no_std compatible, allowing it to work on embedded platforms. After my daughter was born I had to take a step back from open source to prioritize her, and it's only now that I'm starting to get back into things.

Yet another reminder for anyone not aware: you can download an entire copy of Wikipedia, images included, at 111GB on your smartphone with an app like Kiwix. No need to even use the internet, we have the technology to put the greatest compendium of human knowledge in your pocket.

I should've guessed the carbonated milk powder drink named "Milkis" was gonna feel and and taste wrong, but my partner ordered it and I thought I'd swap since it couldn't be *that* bad.

HELP! #raylib maintainers needed! raylib has grown a lot in the last few years and it's impossible for me to maintain everything; there are some systems that I'd need some help from users with more experience than me! Thanks for your support! ❤️ github.com/raysan5/rayl...

Ok so I complain about Netflix subtitles a lot, and I also hate auto playing videos. Truly incredible I get to have both thrown at me for having the nerve to open the app. Probably the worst case of broken subtitles to date.

Enough money to give away $2,000 every hour forever just from the interest you'd get in a basic savings account. The amount of good you could achieve...

// Walk up two directories from // test/regression/issue/ to reach the repo root. const repoRoot = join(import.meta.dir, "..", "..", ".."); LLMs are never gonna learn to count are they.

Honestly feeling gloomy at the moment. I loved watching Eurovision with my family, but we've been boycotting since Israel's specific inclusion despite the active genocide. And this year might actually have a good UK act for the first time in my entire lifetime. Here's to an "apolitical" ESC I guess

I think LEGO has had products like this my entire life; sets that, as a child, we're so big and expensive I could only dream about owning them. Now as an adult, LEGO have scaled their halo products up to maintain that same feeling of awe.

Mum they're getting the AI to make those Chrome Experiments I showed you in highschool! They even only work sometimes just like the real thing!

No it's way simpler than that, kids hate AI and homework because they think both are bullshit. They aren't evaluating the moral dilemma or performance characteristics of ChatGPT any more than my students did to their Casio Classpad they snuck into a test.

Me feeding blindly feeding the Torment Nexus: shit where did it get that copy of Don't Create the Torment Nexus? It's trying to increase itself!

No seriously this story was terrifying! This wasn't just one massive whoopsie, they just blindly and repeatedly charged through like a bull in a China shop. Beth Mole wrote a great summary of the story: arstechnica.com/health/2026/...

I think it's such a shame that Zig didn't and doesn't take safety more seriously. The language is very interesting and worked on by extremely talented people, I totally believe they could have something even better than Rust's borrow checker thanks to being able to learn from Rust's mistakes.

maybe the funniest possible sentence to include here

People don't understand how fundamentally flawed cycling as a concept is. For one thing, there's no Check Engine light on the dashboard. You could be literally dying of a heart attack and your bike won't even tell you to slow down.

watched this on repeat losing my shit for two nights now

Not a lot of people know this, but you can just write Clippy lints. I've written two now. Documentation on how it works is...interesting, but workable! Submitted a MSRV fix for `std_instead_of_core` and wrote a couple of new ones for working with `#![no_std]`. github.com/rust-lang/ru...

If we're just p-hacking why not say nearly 28 million Australians receive income support in the form of roads, police, etc.? Shameful of the ABC to try and construct a Sky News tier narrative that people claiming entitlements **that they're entitled to** is somehow a crisis.

Well well well looks like those art degrees aren't so useless after all

Hot take: if you think LLMs are conscious and you aren't doing something about it, you're condoning the beginning of the worst period of slavery and abuse in all human history. For the record I don't believe LLMs are or ever will be conscious. There is far more to the human brain than just language

Even if you don't believe that there is a real physiological mechanism that induces these symptoms, we still need to account for them when designing our infrastructure. Just because antivax people are irrational doesn't mean there aren't real stakes at play. "Make them face reality" isn't a solution

ive watched this part like a dozen times now

InfoWars shutdown, Daily Wire layoffs, Tucker Carlson's 8000 user count leaked; what's going on?? Was literally everything being held together by Hungary's right wing?

That's just cool. I have this visual in my head of people running around in leather coats like The Matrix.

Maybe humanity has a chance.

Hot Stove 2: Backburner

Every day that passes where "JobSeeker" is how we refer to basic social security in this country is another day we elect to torture the disadvantaged for the enjoyment of Sky News' core demographic.
