I submitted my first plugin to WordPress.org and am awaiting approval. Strange side effect? Getting briefly excited by every WordPress email about some automatic update. Sigh. #sustainabledolly #websustainability #webdev #wordpress

Still wondering why "The rapist formerly known as Prince" is not trending. #therapistformerlyknownasprince #virginiaguiffre #epsteinfiles #princeandrew

The rapist formerly known as Prince. We're all thinking it, right? #princeandrew #virginiaguiffre #therapistformerlyknownasprince

We're not meant to have favourites, but pigs know they're mine. I love pigs. Everything about them. Utterly gorgeous, soulful, intelligent creatures. A pig can know you so quickly.

The murder of Charlie Kirk was criminal, wrong, and should be condemned. And Charlie Kirk was a horrible, hateful man who spent his life radicalizing young people to embrace their worst demons by targeting women, people of color, immigrants, and the marginalized. I refuse to sanitize him.

This is a Melissa Hortman appreciation account for the next 24 hours.

OpenAI doesn't realise that PhD-level expertise has very little to do with the stuff you know and more to do with how you can think. I forget facts from mine all the time! The value in my PhD is knowing how to reliably generate, evaluate, and defend or dismiss information that's new to the world.

This is a horrifying over-reach on OpenAI's part and they should be raked over the coals for it. Autocomplete is not a doctor!

It doesn't matter how many GPT models they put out, OpenAI will continue to hemorrhage money because they invented a machine that boils oceans and still gives you an incorrect answer to your question and makes you look functionally illiterate if you take it at face value

Sam Altman is Elizabeth Holmes. OpenAI is Theranos. Their big lie is “AGI”. We are witnessing what happens when Silicon Valley and investors run out of ideas yet desperately want to cling to wealth and power. OpenAI will fail, Sam Altman will fall, and the AI industry will collapse behind them.

Yo. Please feed Palestine. People in Gaza are starving to death, hostages included.

Long Covid has overtaken childhood Asthma in the US. There must be a similar picture globally in countries like the US who have pushed the natural immunity narrative. It’s not mild, there is at present no cure. Children have a chronic wet dry cough. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

The many innocent civilians of the state of Palestine are still starving.

Ah yes, because everyone just loves AI art in games, and every game played by everyone ever involves AI.

A Monday reminder that Gaza is still starving. Genocide is still happening. Every nation that remains silent and failing to sanction Israel - even supplying support - is still complicit.

I got tagged in a tweet announcing an AI-generated adventure game, making some wild claims about how it’s fully voiced by a star-studded cast with orchestrated music (it’s all AI) The worst part? It isn’t even original, it’s a knockoff of Maniac Mansion. Please don’t do this, people.

Joint statement on Gaza from AFP, AP, BBC News and Reuters

Gaza is starving, and Israel is responsible. www.haaretz.com/opinion/edit...

Noticing a theme here.

Who cares about dead bad people, like Hulk Hogan or Epstein, when kids are starving to death in Gaza? Hunger should never be a weapon. We must never do business with a state that thinks it is. Feed, feed Palestine.

My dad: "Bah, neurodiversity. Whatever." Also my dad: "Oh, I always felt numbers had genders." "I need to print a crossword to do while we watch our special TV programme." "I can't stand light mode..." #adhd #runsinthefamily

In my role as a human weather vane, I would like to warn people that the storm headed to Berlin right now is a particularly bad one. I've already got dizziness and had to lie down. That's rare these days, so it's a big one. #Berlin #wetter #weather #POTS

I will never stop being amused by how Swiss Germans switch seamlessly into clear high German when speaking to any non-Swiss person... ...In contrast to Austrians, who'll speak to you in whatever rural dialect and assume you understand.* I learnt to speak German, dear. Not how to yodel.

@saracodes.bsky.social Cheers for the follow! It's sometimes so hard to spot the interesting humans among all the spammers. What sort of games are you making? Interested, because I have a lot of friends in adventure game dev. Nice to meet you!

I've gone static! With dark mode, light mode, and even eco mode! And a super-efficient yet helpful and pretty 404 page at only 1.52 KB with Brotli. #sustywebdev #sustywebdev #sustainableweb #greenweb #digitalsustainability #webdesign #webdev codewordcreative.com

If Democrats truly want to appeal to young men, they should probably start presenting themselves as the party that definitively *won’t* draft you into an illegal war.

I decided I could/should start sharing new icons as I add them to the Susty Icons set. For absolutely no reason at all, I got up this morning and felt a desire to make a peace symbol. Then, obviously, I was thinking about flags. #SustyIcons #sustainablewebdev #sustyweb #sustywebdev

Look, Britain is always going to support the US but this is an absolutely nonsense statement. Iran didn't leave the negotiation table. Israel launched an unprovoked attack which America has now joined.

Hypermobile nerds: I have a tip. Get a trackball mouse with a central ball. I got it so can use my left as well and give my right hand and shoulder a break. I am sold. I absolutely love the scroll wheel. Kensington Orbit with scroll ring. #chronicpain #eds #ehlersdanlos #hypermobility

Why is it men who are so obsessed with oppressing trans people, and keeping them out of womens' spaces? I am more afraid of male transphobes than I am of trans people. Male transphobes, I wonder why you are so quick to point the finger. #transrights #scarytransphobes

Is it just me, or is markdown a hell of a lot more complicated than HTML? I just... wanna know what it will look like, dammit. I don't wanna convert things in between. I want nice easy, manipulable CSS. I just can't do the markdown thing.

"You can be Israeli and oppose this". I am not #Israeli. The friend involved in organising this is. You can oppose Netanyahu and the #Gaza genocide while loving #Israel. As in, loving Israel so much you will defend its democracy and prevent it from committing an atrocity. #Berlin Sunday 5pm.

People who've not had #longcovid will not understand the bravery it takes to go out with a medium-to-large handbag with a bottle inside. People who have will get it. Recovery is possible! But my vascular system will take years to recover. And because of that, my gut and ANS are also a bit odd.

I abandoned #WordPress, and #CSS set me free. I responded responsively with responsiveness! ...I love static HTML and CSS that just WORKS. OH and this tool makes #sustyicons #SVG icons even better - sprites! #responsivedesign #sustainabledev #sustyweb codewordcreative.github.io/susty-icons/...

@tylersticka.com Hi. I'm following because I, too, am a bit obsessed with SVGs. Loved this article. cloudfour.com/thinks/svg-i...

Everyone gets that spam about redesigning their website. It's funny to receive those while I'm turning my existing site into static - with a full overhaul in the process.

Personal #webdev process news: I'm going fully static, not even using a traditional generator. While I'll continue to offer incredibly performant, lightweight #WordPress sites for anyone who needs that framework and flexibility, I'm moving to static web development - using my own system, not an SSG.

"I've got a brand new content harvester"

Our proudly anti-vaxxer Health and Human Services Secretary RFK Jr. just removed the COVID vaccine from the CDC’s recommendation schedule. Extrapolate out across hundreds of millions—people will ultimately DIE because of this. There is no medical reason for this; it will detract from Public Health.

🦋 Risks of Long Covid are higher in pregnant women A 2024 Obstetrics & Gynecology study, available through the NIH website, adds evidence to the unique & wide ranging risks COVID-19 poses to pregnant women RFK Jr announcing the CDC will now change it's stance on the Covid vaccine is anti-science 🦋

sars_cov.2_covid_19 Just spoke with my CDC sources: a new COVID-19 variant, NB.1.8.1, is spreading across Louisiana, NYC, LA, DC, Colorado, and more. ... RFK Jr. told officials not to reveal the surge he believes hiding cases is the best option. He’s already done serious damage to public health....
