As RAM becomes more scarce, us developers will have to care more about RAM usage like we did back in the old days~ What this means: - more time spent profiling memory - goodbye Electron apps (and JS) - shift towards AOT languages like Rust, Zig, Dart

Closing 50 browser tabs after finally solving the bug is the best feeling in the world. 😌

I love stories like this. Maybe I should dust off mine and show it the same sort of love that they do. arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026...

today’s one-sentence horror: sudo has been largely maintained by a single person for ~30+ years

Getting really sick of these constant notifications that somebody is trying to log into my Microsoft account. You can't. Please stop.

The peas have got AI, Janet!

Thanks for the interesting insights, @vox.com.

Textf 1.1 is out 🎉 It's Text with **bold** and *italic*. A lightweight drop-in replacement for #Flutter's Text widget. NEW in v1.1: → {widget} placeholders - embed anything inline → Caching that doesn't panic when your parent rebuilds

I broke sudo. I think it's time for bed.

We will be migrating GodotSteam's community stuff off Discord, due to impending IPO, and onto Matrix and IRC. Find us on Matrix at: matrix.to#/#godotsteam... And IRC via Libera Chat: irc://irc.librea.chat/#godotsteam Our Discord community will shutdown early-to-mid March so get yourself migrated.

Open question to all the software leads out there: How do you promote individuality and creativity on your team, while still guiding developers toward better code practices? It feels too easy to strip away the possibility of learning from less experienced devs and letting them find their own way.

I think I ended up in the wrong timeline.

and here's a response from Adafruit with more context: blog.adafruit.com/2026/01/12/d... The story is ongoing, of course. What an odd turn of events.

Ugh. Tax season is coming.

This era of the internet just makes me feel really numb

@frame.work How come I was told that the spacer I ordered wasn't available in the color I ordered, so I replied with a different color and now y'all are no longer honoring my original ram price? This is really shitty... It's already been almost two months since I ordered it.

Microsoft Copilot set-top box. Lets you ask Cortan...erm, Clipp...erm, Copilot to change the channel. Also, plays games, we guess.

What. The. Hell. Let's just throw away literal decades of branding on something nobody wants or asked for.

Definitely can't wait to triple my salary in a few years

At this rate in 6 months "can it run Crysis" may come back as the question to ask when buying new gaming PCs. wccftech.com/nvidia-to-br...

How it started how it's going etc etc. This was just three years ago but feels more like 30.

Just in case you need to hear it... You are not alone. youtube.com/shorts/UsDta...

i am buying most of my hardware used or from shady refurbishers in china harvesting chips from dead motherboards and i have been never happier about it, you can keep your shit if you want to charge me 3x because of this ai data center bullshit, i can get it anyway with you getting none of the money

in a world where subscriptions for stuff that used to be free or local are becoming the norm and we are treated like we HAVE to pay rent to some fuckass company to run shit on “the cloud” instead of owning our hardware or media or whatever my resolution for 2026 is to not do that as much as possible

@labenz.dev I've got a beefy Android tablet with a nice keyboard that I want to use for flutter dev. I tried installing termux, pulling the flutter git repo, and running flutter doctor... But it had a heart attack. Any ideas? Would love to use this thing for dev work!

Want a fun challenge over the holidays? 🙌
