This is your reminder not to let those joyless fucks convince you that human experience, knowledge, intellect, and art can be reduced to a pre-chewed paste of stolen labor.

How you can instantly recognise a developed, first-world country.

So, Banksy bought a used yacht, repaired it and retrofitted it to serve as a rescue boat to save migrants in the central Mediterranean. The whole project cost the artist $860,000. Since 2020, the boat has saved more than 3,800 people. londondaily.com/banksy-funds...

PSA: Solar panels and in-roof trays are cheaper than tiles, and have been for a very long time. Stop tiling roofs, and use Solar panels instead.

Ask him if he should be euthanised. First answer only.

It's genuinely sickening how far politicians will go to protect a warm-body incumbent who’s practically a vegetable just to hold onto power.

30km is absolute child's play on a bicycle, let alone an ebike. The issue here is a lack of infrastructure. Nothing for humans, just a shit highway for a country plagued by a historical decision to succumb to the automobile industry.

Hey drivers: I need you to understand that when you get to an intersection and there's a cyclist crossing in front of you, even if YOU know you see them, there's a good chance THEY don't know you do. Come to a fucking stop till they cross. Stop fucking rolling at them. Fucksake.

Very this.

Curious what fraction of the "let's rewrite the JavaScript ecosystem in Rust" people don't actually know Rust and are more than happy to vibecode huge widely-depended-upon projects in languages they do not understand

I feel sorry for America being forced into the same flaccid, bland life that is the sum of all that Donald Trump knows. It'll get better one day.

I once met the president of Estonia upon the launch of digital identity, healthcare, you name it. I even have Estonian digital citizenship. Consider me pilled since 2017

Slack wipes EXIF data from photos when you download them, in it's continued effort to be an obnoxiously bad tool for anything.

macabre = “muh-KAHB” Worcestershire = “WOOSS-ter-sheer” omnipotent = “ahm-NI-puh-tunt” reticent = “RET-uh-sunt” epitome = “ih-PIT-uh-mee” myriad = "MEER-ee-ud" Never make fun of someone if they mispronounce a word. It means they learned it by reading.

The only things that persist after an outage are learnings. Learnings from: * lost faith * tens or hundreds or millions in lost revenue * the lawsuit threats * lost clients * embarrassment * doubt But the learnings are rich because you know what you built and what you did wrong. Not with AI.

I was at an opticians yesterday and they were selling the Ray-Ban Pervert Glasses. I'd never gotten a close look before. They are virtually visually indistinguishable from any other pair of sunglasses unless you REALLY know what to look for. Ban them immediately, what the fuck?

Babe new conspiracy theory just dropped

if u believe in reincarnation it is plausible that hitler was reincarnated as donald trump since he was born a bit over a year after hitler died assuming a 9month gestation period, it would imply hitlers soul looked for a vessel for four months or so, maybe was reincarnated as an insect first.

Trump might just be the biggest failure known to mankind.

Absolutely unbelievable how solar power has taken off worldwide during the Hormuz oil crisis. You don't have to hand it to him, but Trump may have done more to finally kick off a global civilization of effete librul solar users than anyone else in the West

Half the YouTube videos I end up watching are now AI created - whether it's the full production, or somebody literally reading a claude-script, and sounding ridiculous doing so, it's boring.

Last time we went to get one it took 45 mins and arrived extra soggy and extra cold, they apologised and said - your name is on the board, next time you come it is free. That was 3 years ago and we have no desire to go back!

I haven't bought McD or similar in decades; but last week my kids played in a late concert and were v thirsty at near midnight with a 45-min drive home; the McD drive-thru was the only option. We then lost 25 minutes failing to get anything at all before driving home.

Tired of seeing these shit new builds with two solar panels each. The UK government is spineless and pathetic, and being endlessly scammed by the likes of Persimmon, Bloor, and other shit housebuilders.

"We use older models which are more efficient, and have cheaper tokens." They aren't more efficient, they're just efficient compared to the environmental disaster that new models are. New models are less efficient, not older models more.

Lots of good ideas in the comments, but the ones which stood out are based around it being a giant urinal.

This is art, to me.

I'm not really into football, but my wife likes the World Cup. However, that match was genuinely pretty entertaining!

If all of the complaints about Anthropic are valid, we are about to see the launch of 30x more software than the entirety of software that has been developed since 1970. Excited to see the great products you've all been building...

Football is a bit like "capture the flag" but instead it's kick the flag across a field and uncapture it also it's round.

Ciaran Martin@ciaranm.bsky.social

On England v Panama first half: Seriously if you showed that first half to someone completely new to football and told them that one of these teams had genuine aspirations to win the World Cup, & the other had already been eliminated, could you reasonably expect them to work out which was which?

Hard to get good photos when they stick a sticker over your camera but Annie Mac was great!

So our Tesla battery needs replacement, and all public transport is utterly fucked today. Everything I know, believe in and preach has literally screwed me in the last 24 hours.

Since January 1, 2025, the City of Chicago has transitioned to using 100% clean, renewable energy to power all City streetlights and 400+ City buildings including O’Hare Airport, Midway Airport, Harold Washington Library, City Hall, and more.

So I'm completely unable to use browserstack now because they force me to install a local app, and it's Windows and Mac only? Great stuff.
