AI makes things easier, so try harder things. :3

If there’s “fairy blood” in the Tookish line it’s most certainly Bombadil who is to blame

nonbinary.computer/jacquard A better Rust ATProto crate ⭐️ 105

thing i hate most about respiratory shit is when it fucks up my voice. like fuck, my body aches, i'm coughing, feel generally garbage, and THEN i can't talk without feeling like shit re my gendered anatomy, too? negative three stars illness experience.

i don't know about anyone else but i'm having fun. metadata courtesy of ionosphere.tv via constellation (of course). going to pull in a bunch more stuff, though.

may or may not have vendored in and fixed multiple rust hls crates to get the player side of this working in nearly pure wasm. i might attempt to run ffmpeg in the browser (or failing that, on the server) to do edits/reencodes, once eli tells me/us how to do archive blob uploads.

must...watch...thing...

Since bluesky charts are going around again, here's some about non-bluesky atproto activity that I had buried in the middle of my talk. 1. Users: 2025 slowed, then recent growth. the atmosphere is *small*. it's *early*. 2,3. Development activity: constant steady growth user growth follows dev

the reason bluesky is dying is the posters i personally dislike

Calendaring software should exclusively be written by scheduling sickos in polycules.

whatever nonsense knocked me out seems to not be covid, given two negative tests. need to get an RSV test or something i guess.

warning to people who depend on the git version of jacquard (it me, I depend on the git version of jacquard). main now has the 0.12 borrow-or-share beta, plus a rework to oauth scopes that's mostly internal but might break expectations elsewhere and incorporates changes to fix a couple issues/PRs.

lmao dude posts a massive, nonsensical, angry essay in reply and then doesn't want to hear responses

There are two types of impedance mismatch in play. We need a two axis political compass with “wants to be a good at something” to “wants to have the end product in hand” for one axis and “self motivated” vs “motivated by approval of others” as the other axis.

jesus christ you really dont have to live like that

Funkiest QFN I have seen to date. Radar send and receive and digital measurement in the same chip and no external antennas needed! All of those perimeter vias are straight to the ground plane. This was from a board we assembled for a customer last year. ☆ ADMIRE THE MAGIC RUNES ☆

im gonna become an @enclose.horse streamer on @stream.place who wants to make me a 3d rigged vtuber avatar of a goose

As promised, here's a quick write up of how my eink badge from @pimoroni.com that I wore at #AtmosphereConf worked.

i think just generally bad code is slop and not bad code is not slop, no matter who writes it there is a human who is supposed to be in charge of it

Golang, keeping it simple: `list[len(list)-1]` Rust, overcomplicating everything: `list.last()`

lmao i accidentally opened my talk's VOD testing something out and...i don't actually hate my voice in it!

Anthropic has done some research into Claude's emotions! As it gets more desperate, a thing they can detect now, the rate of reward hacking goes up! They've invented a way to lower Claude's cortisol, which could be useful for stressful or tricky programming situations, and others

finally got round to setting up a ko-fi in case that's easier for people than github sponsors. I just turned down a contract in part bc the person couldn't do me the courtesy of writing a draft of the scope document herself, or even feeding my previous recommendations into chatgpt. ko-fi.com/orual

hell yeah.

i haven't a crafty bone in my body but someday i want to to make a cross-stitch sampler featuring SRB separation either from the shuttle or the SLS with the caption "you aren't falling apart, you're just undergoing stage separation"

Sorry but you are way too humanities brained if you think space colonization is problematic because earth colonization was often accompanied by bad stuff. There are no people on the moon. The bad things involving colonization were the things they did to people living there. There are no people there

marked clear of covid, but definitely re-testing tomorrow bc something isn't right in respiratory tract rn and false negatives are definitely a thing.

I’d say the opposite is generally true for the ecosystem. Investors find that the devs in this ecosystem are staunchly anti-capitalist. There is room for professionalism and radicalism.

tired boo

Actually funny April Fool joke

That being said, the future is murky. Nobody knows how software economics are going to work in this new post atproto post agent world. But I feel pretty confident in basic models of value creation and accumulation. It'll be a mess to get there for sure tho.

28% on the tech bro quiz. it really wants to ding you for thinking tech is, as bad as it is, fairer than many other industries lol.

This type of banal restatement of posts by LLM bots is a large part of what makes Twitter unusable these days. I hope Bluesky gets better at identifying and taking action on these accounts.

eepy fuzzy

if we can make it so a website can declare an AT URI that it renders, can we also make those backlinks detectable so that we could build an index of every website that can render any particular record? wouldn't that be cool!

that app somebody made for tracking who you meet at the conference is now a tool for tracking the spread of covid

Ahem @flushes.app

My vod tool isn't done and I will not be watching myself on video, but if others want to watch my talk, they can go here. sp-vod.pages.dev/stream.place...

Glad this one is making the rounds again

honestly this is kind of a guilty admission from me but i hope China makes a moonbase first so that there's another space race up there

NASA IS LITERALLY A ROUNDING ERROR IN THE DOD'S BUDGET BUT LIKE WHATEVER

some lefties turn into weird austerity hawks when it comes to space and like do you actually think it would be invested in social services? come on now

We should do more sick space stuff plus fully fund a robust social welfare system we got two hands
