Soothing my toddler with Crab Rave is not what I had on my parenting bingo card.

Wife: (positive intent) your hairstyle right now looks like that guy from White Lotus Me:

Whenever I’m doing a git rebase and have to figure out what “current” vs “incoming” means

"forged in the fires of Mavis Beacon"

GitHub needs way more emojis in their emoji picker!

Slack is down. How did people refine macrodata before this??

New Andor season 2 trailer is sick.

A small benefit to keeping the default bsky.social handle: typing it directly into a browser takes you right to the bluesky profile.

Me: Returns from a peaceful 3-day weekend, ready to ease back into work. My laptop: 🟡

Did not expect this crossover nod between two AppleTV+ series

The AppleTV app really needs to incorporate if you’ve already watched the latest episode before sending a push notification. Also, that was a great episode of Severence.

Frog & Toad on AppleTV+ is super calming for kids. Also recommend he read-along books via Hoopla & your local library login. Also, Toad is a vibe.

HomeAssistant seems to come preconfigured with a dedicated service for the Sun. No love for default installing the moon? How will people know they can toggle their lights when it’s a waxing gibbous??

Ohhh, new Severance department name revealed in S2E3.

I *just* noticed that bluesky favicon & formatting seems to be supported on GitHub profiles, but not threads.

If I don’t get all my performance reviews done before the deadline, this video is why.

I really, really don't want to do this, but let's do a bit (just a LITTLE BIT) of fact checking about what Zuck said on the Joe Rogan podcast, because this is something I not only followed closely, but also spent time *talking to the actual people at Meta who dealt with this* which WAS NOT ZUCK.

Welp, garage torsion spring just broke. Definitely not messing with that…

Jeff Atwood steps up to be a thing that’s sorely needed in tech right now: a leader. He actually *gives* half of his current net worth (not a pledge — he already cut checks) to 8 organizations helping the most vulnerable. blog.codinghorror.com/stay-gold-am... An inspiring move, when it most matters.

THREAD: In 2023, I received an envelope with no return address. Inside was a flash drive containing tens of 1000s of secret files. It came from a vigilante with a tumultuous past, who'd conducted a years-long undercover operation. He didn’t tell the FBI or his family. He only told me.

Didn’t know about the Japanese “space out” competition https://youtu.be/3zIYe09dhrE?si=MOahk2Q3rGyQ14fv

Genuinely surprised it took this long for a story like this to be published.

iOS 18.2’s Image Playground has one of the most interesting generative AI interfaces, but tbh the results leave a lot to be desired.

Looks like this might’ve been a hard one.

Found a bunch of these sets gathered together with a bunch of baby toys at a retailer nearby. I guess start them young on chemstry?

Just realized that at some point the public bluesky search endpoint changed, so @scoremywordle.bsky.social was missing oodles of wordles to slurp up and score. 🤖

the way kids shows rib at the adults watching along with them. my kid is watching Mickey Mouse clubhouse, and Mickey just taught Goofy about a record player, which is “an ancient machine that people used to play music on” ☠️

The SD card on the Raspberry Pi used for our Homebridge instance died, so I used it as an opportunity to switch over to Home Assistant. It definitely requires more setup to HomeKit-it everything, and the camera ecosystem isn’t as robust, but the customization seems unparalleled.

The amount of high fiving in Mario Party is too damn high

Step 1 - request, download, and unzip your twitter archive Step 2 - install node 20 Step 3 - clone this repro github.com/marcomaroni-... Step 4 - run "npm i" in this folder from the command line Step 5 - make an .env file like this (cropped) Step 6 - run "npm run -- --"

Waiting at the doctor’s office and I’m somewhat surprised by the number of well-known celebrities showing up on daytime commercials compared to when I was a kid.

Props to “The Penguin” for featuring a scene with khoresh bademjon. (I would’ve loved to have seen it plated though, felt pretty hidden in the bowls they used!)

While moving over the ScoreMyWordle bot from botsin.space to mastodon.social, it was great to see a post from BlueSky use alt text (which the bot was still able to process!). Expecting see a drop-off in usage as news of the NYT strike spreads.

Wooo, finally getting those Apple Intelligence notifications.

Customs *and* USPS are on the case! 😂 Even if this works 0.1% of the time, it’s unfortunately all these scammers need.

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #32,708!

Guys! I found some genuinely good news in the September household survey! Unemployment didn't go down, but its mix improved. * Fewer unemployed due to permanent layoff (lowest share since January 2023) * More due to labor market re-entry (highest since June 2022)

Feeling mixed parts nostalgia and heartbreak, as today marks 1 year since the US Birdwatch launch… just a few weeks before Elon Musk bought twitter & things fell apart. 💔

Hey devs, we just added search to our docs! Check it out 🕵️ 🔎 atproto.com

@emily.bsky.team 👋 just approved the docsearch application! Feel free to reach out with any questions, happy to help!

Sometimes, I think we get caught up in building new software or features when a simpler solution could suffice. I wrote some thoughts on this. https://shaneafsar.com/blog/build-less-to-get-success/

I’m trying to type “twitter (X)” on a confluence page (referring to the twitter rebrand) and it keeps auto-replacing the (X) with the 😵 emoji. Seems appropriate.

Was looking up while laying down, and this reminded me of the bluesky loading screen

Other than the actual whistleblowing claims, the most interesting thing about the UAP hearing was how bipartisan & collaborative it seemed (except for one rep) compared to other hearings.

Well, I guess they found a way--not even enqueuing Threads content for misinfo review in the first place 🤦‍♀️ https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/07/14/threads-algorithm-content-moderation/

Hi @bsky.app, Can you, with sugar on top, fucking hire a fucking trust & safety lead? Sincerely, Everyone

Great to see this become available to orgs on GitHub! https://github.blog/changelog/2023-07-12-pull-request-merge-queue-is-now-generally-available/
