ah yes, of course, that's a device to ehm, well, a contraption that, eh, …? 🤷🏼

i just used a bullet point list in an email, then deliberately left a very obvious typo, as a subtle hint that this text was actually written by a real human and not by some stupid language model. ai slop ruined em dashes, bullet points, sounding friendly, etc. so annoying 😠

As an experiment, we (the Firefox team) wanted to try a new way to get feedback on which Interop proposals matter most. So, here's a web app where you can rank the proposals you care about, giving us data we can use when reviewing which ones to champion. interop-rank.jakearchibald.com

asking for a friend… has someone, by any chance, already built a cloud-to-butt browser extension, 2025 edition? #ai LLM → LyingLM AI → AI 🤡 artificial intelligence → aRtiFiCiaL iNtEgiLeNcE!! agentic → agentic 🧟‍♂️🤖 ChatGPT → ChadGTP 😫

my foray from (mostly) backend development towards full stack is getting a bit out of hand. 😅 today i ended up writing a postcss plugin to programmatically massage a bunch of #css 🤓

in #music with a circle of fifth progression… the notes keep tumbling over like… (brief pause for suspense)… dominotes! 🥁🙃

🤔 for personal note keeping/ wiki / knowledge, is obsidian.md a reasonable choice or should i look into the gazillion alternatives? i care about text-based formats, cross-platform, and privacy. (cloud not required; i can sync using syncthing)

urgh, ’the liberal economy, the only one that works for the good of all’… according to the richest man in europe. well, fuck you too

nu wachten op de oorverdovende stilte van domrechts over hoe verboden het wel niet is om te lopen op de a12 en hoe werkschuw reltuig klappen of erger verdient #denhaag

The first taste of “Somni,” the upcoming album with Snarky Puppy and Metropole Orkest (conducted by Jules Buckley), is here. “Waves Upon Waves” is the opening track on the 70-minute work, and its debut single. Listen now: found.ee/wavesuponwaves

finally! 🎶 waves upon waves, the first song from the upcoming album by snarky puppy (@realsnarkypuppy.bsky.social) & metropole orchestra & jules buckley, is now available! been waiting to hear this again since attending the recordings back in january. fantastic music, so many happy faces, woohoo 😍

🌰🪲 found a creepy crawler inside a hollow hazelnut from the garden. it's a nut weevil larva (hazelnootboorder, curculio nucum). the adult version has an impressive snout almost as long as its legs, used as a drill (pic: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curculi...). luckily only few nuts were affected 😅

boeven en vuilnis? da's pas stomme tv. halsema heeft het meermaals over criminaliteit en wat dat zegt over een maatschappij, zoals dat extreem lage criminaliteit alleen mogelijk is in totalitaire regimes. (en noemt haar verantwoordelijkheidsgevoel bij een kapotte amsterdamse vuilnisbak) #zomergasten

🎶 upcoming snarky puppy (@realsnarkypuppy.bsky.social) album ‘somni’ is gonna be fantastic! i know b/c i'm one of the ~1000 lucky ones who attended the recording sessions in january. can't wait to hear the final production. videos are likely gonna look like these pics 🤩 bsky.app/profile/did:... #🎶

aerial view of a snowy mountainscape? surface close-up of a distant planet? nope, it's a 3d view of vermeer's girl with the pearl earring painting 🖼️🎨. check out this 108_000_000_000 pixel scan 🤯 www.hirox-europe.com/gigapixel/gi...

Het Nationaal Oorlogsmonument wordt dagelijks bezoedeld door de hypocrisie van dit kabinet: steun aan de genocide in Gaza, meer verontwaardiging over de mogelijke komst van Palestijnse vluchtelingen dan over de genocide zelf. Zo verraadt Nederland de belofte van ‘Nooit Meer’.

I don’t know who edited this photo, but it’s very good. For context, this is Yablunska Street in Bucha 🇺🇦, where dozens of civilians were killed in March 2022 by Russian troops.

airquote do not eat wink wink

will russia finally pull its troops from ukraine and instead deploy them for domestic disaster relief after earthquakes, tsunamis, volcano eruptions, floodings, etc? (narrator: nope, of course those ruscist fuckers won't)

absolutely love this new orchestral #jazz #🎶 album. at times it reminds me a bit of the snarky puppy + metropole sound (same label, ground up records): fabia mantwill orchestra - in.sight orcd.co/fmo-insight

sad and relieved to be a reasonable person 😔 ‘Finally, there’s the doomerism that comes from political frustration, from believing that people who have power are just happy to burn the world down. [That's] the most reasonable kind of doomerism.’ – Genevieve Guenther @doctorvive.bsky.social #climate

‘paleolithic humans enjoyed an abundance of leisure time unparalleled in both neolithic farming societies and modern industrial societies’ seems like we collectively took a wrong turn. is it too late to turn back? 🤔

the library in the hague has a bunch of books 📚 on display that are banned in (parts of) murikkka. these modern book burnings are nothing but fascist tactics to erase history and culture, b/c these are all perfectly normal books

ik ging langs voor een specifiek boek 📖 maar kwam natuurlijk met twee heel andere boeken thuis 📚. bedankt weer hè, @coletteboeken.bsky.social 😜

you cannot eat money, oh no you cannot eat money, oh no when the last tree has fallen and the rivers are poisoned 🎶

ok google, bien hecho 🙄. the search results for ‘lodash-es’ unexpectedly turn up in spanish 🤦 (‘es’ means ecmascript/javascript here – it has nothing to do with español)

very disappointing coffee ☕ 📵

nice, new solo piano 🎹 album ‘lumen’ by @billlaurance.bsky.social comes out later this year. here's a still from the (not yet publicly available 😎) video clip for the track ‘sera’. two hands, two pianos, actually makes sense if you think of it 🙃 #🎶 pre-save at save-it.cc/act/sera

het is maandag en warm, dus de media hebben weer het jaarlijkse meningencircus over welke zomerkleding je wel en niet zou mogen dragen op je werk. saaaaaai… hou toch op zeg, het is 2025 en de wereld staat in brand. korte broek op kantoor? tuurlijk wel. 🩳🏢

overheard a conversation on the street just now in my home town of the hague, netherlands: ‘we have civilisation here; it's not the united states’ 🎯

happy summer solstice! 🌳🌞

very confused rn 😕. please wait for the waiter so that the waiter can wait on you. ehm, ok? 😜

they eat croissants, they drink wine, they speak français and their buildings are half collapsed. not sure how they cope, b/c i'm obviously having a really hard time in france with all this 🇫🇷🥐🍷

word classes aren't real yo: verbing an indefinite pronoun, then nouning that verb again 😵‍💫, as shown on this french shopfront describing a dutch word, in english #lingsky #linguistics

A good illustration of how wrong the "Ru retaliates" narrative is. Any self-respecting journalist should pin this and remind themselves to never fall in this trap again.

a ship 🚢 blocking wifi for many people… made me think it's just sloppy writing (wifi cable anyone? 🤦🏼) and that the ship must have cut an undersea cable and that broke the internet… but nope, it was actually wifi interference over a large distance! 📶 www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

today's news about the netherlands 🇳🇱🌷 is not just about one dick and a bunch of fascist c*nts it's also about a c*nt and three dicks 😜

oh: epileptic curve 🤯

de @volkskrant.nl app: fijn dat u ons feedback wilt geven ik: nou ja, oké, als je er expliciet om vraagt…
