“Tool generated code” kinda rude to talk about your colleagues that way

Unpopular opinion: Babyccinos are dumb. Stop wasting your barista's time and milk.

Finally, www.ruby-lang.org/en/ has a new design.

It's a full hour, but who doesn't want to watch a choir sing in, like, 10 languages. I'd travel pretty far, and pay a lot, to see this in person. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVwI...

One word: Asbestos. www.bbc.com/news/article...

I’ll take that.

There's a joke about the origins of many Jewish holidays: "They tried to kill us, they failed, let's eat." But some of us *were* killed in those days, and some were killed today. This is a holiday about hope, persistence, and light shining when it shouldn't be possible. May all the killing end.

AI tools are power tools. Potentially useful in the right hands. A more powerful drill isn’t better if you can’t use a cheap one.

It’s just amusing that with these AI tools and agents we seem to be getting back to this truth: A team of strong software engineers who care about the quality + maintainability of the codebase >> A team of devs using powerful AI coding agents rather mindlessly

We’re not even *close* to running out of good ideas. The issue is smart people’s ideas being systematically persecuted, under-resourced, and blocked from opportunity by fascists. Do not believe propaganda in the “Future Perfect” section of Vox that’s underwritten by Effective Altruism extremists.

On a platform owned by a billionaire that’s called for civil war in the UK, no less.

I am fully committed to this theory

Having too much money removes natural resistance from people's lives, literally causing their brains to atrophy

*youth pastor voice* Let me tell you kids about another carpenter who wasn’t very popular with the authorities

The idea that Farage thinks his antisemitic comments were “not in malice” is entirely unsurprising. This shit was so normalised in my experience at school by kids just like Farage. “Just a joke” was always the response.

When did Heroku's sign-up flow become so painful? It's whole thing was supposed to be 0-production in no time. Now I can't do anything without giving my life story and a credit card.

Would just like to plug Woodcraft Folk (aka the militant wing of The Coop), where children of all genders will always be welcome and you don't have to promise to serve God and the King woodcraft.org.uk/woodcraft-fo...

quite literally the opposite of what everyone’s been asking for but ok lol

Hey @theguardian.com , it’s Bournville, not Bourneville. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/ng-i...

I will not be participating in Advent of Code this year as I have a load-bearing need to believe I'm a supergenius coder and this has "reality check" written all over it

As Woodcraft Folk celebrates its 100th anniversary, the socialist non-profit organisation faces identity challenges — but the youth movement is arguably more relevant than ever, offering an antidote to a digital-centric, anxious society.

Their statement screams of "we don't want to do this, but we can't afford the legal costs if we get sued". They're just kids. Let them be who they want to be.

TIL Paint now has copilot.

This is kinda gross from Yetch, who make totally cool stuff. I'm not paying for the privilege of receiving my stuff in one piece.

I would like a “turn off AI hot takes” button on all forms of social media please.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture. They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Toby Young, self-appointed king of free speech, is speaking in Hungary tomorrow about UK “censorship”. He’ll be addressing a group funded by Viktor Orbán’s autocratic regime, which has seized control of the country’s media, judiciary, and routinely harasses its critics

I'm glad to only have ever only had to fly with Ryanair once, and it was an awful experience. I wonder when the EU will start treating behaviour like this as something monopolies do? www.theguardian.com/money/2025/n...

LinkedIn appears to be broken for me. Every second post is a “suggested” AI thought leader, or some misogynistic post about Rachel Reeves. Another social media provider for the trash fire.

“Startling” is a hell of a choice of adjective.

Danny Kruger taking the sensible populist position of _checks notes_ calling David Attenborough”anti-human” and that being the least bad thing he said in an interview. Clown.

The gap in transport funding between London and _literally everywhere else_ in the UK is such an unfair joke. The rest of us have to get places too. Except, we have to own a car to be productive members of society.

I think it should be called a teethbrush.

Nigel Farage has brushed off allegations of racist behaviour during his teenage years, urging people to focus on the terrible things he says now

More excellent reporting from the @sheffieldtribune.bsky.social as they work to track down Andrew Milne. And it starts with a really heartbreaking tale. It does feels like they’ve really broken any power this guy had over anyone… www.sheffieldtribune.co.uk/after-beckys...

We sang We Like The Moon at the gig last night - the first time we have ever done this song live. So much fun, we'll do this (and a couple of other classic Rathergood songs) in the middle of the ska set next time we do one of these.

Great. Santander's banking app refuses to load if you're on a beta version of iOS and tell you your phone has been jailbroken. So now I can't access my bank.

Coming home II: Simon Rattle mit dem BRSO in Birmingham. youtu.be/8OMn1SGGQ80?...

Birmingham’s best tech event, hands down.

"He noted that all anyone wants to talk to him about is ICE, Israel, and Ukraine." Christ, I wonder why.

If BBC News's rivals who are today damning it for bias were held to similar standards, most of them would be shut down on the spot.

On November 9, 2004, Mozilla Corporation released a multiplatform web browser, Firefox 1.0. Firefox gained major popularity among users and exceeded 1 billion downloads between 2004 and 2009. #WebDesignHistory

I had my disagreements with the BBC under Tim Davie but he was a decent man doing a difficult job. To see Trump's White House claiming credit for his downfall and attacking the BBC should worry us all.

This has been obvious for some time. None are so blind as those who will not see.

Be clear, the American far right are coming for British democracy.

God I hate UK train travel. Avanti have 60% punctuality but I’m £100 out of pocket. Insane.

where my rubyists (old people) at??

Train delayed by 1 hour…. Good news: train ticket is now free. Bad news: I’m an hour late.
