Can we just collectively admit now that the impact of AI has mostly been negative, and that it should be heavily regulated?

Gleam v1.19.0 is out now! gleam.run/news/gleam-d...

re: omarchy trying to create parallel infra to subvert the linux community and kick trans/female/black people out i know some people think that sounds crazy but DHH literally is doing a podcast tour saying that is exactly what he's doing lol

I'm tired of the software I use getting jankier and jankier recently. It's been great at slowly getting me to use computers less, but it makes the times I do that much more painful.

The 11th WebAIM Screen Reader Users Survey is open until 31 August: https://webaim.org/projects/screenreadersurvey11/ If you use a screen reader, it'll take about 10 minutes to contribute to the body of knowledge around screen readers, which ones are used, and how.

Everybody in the "climate space" (which means everyone on earth...) needs to understand these mind-blowing figures. Google's "total electricity consumption jumped from 31 terawatt hours (TWh) in 2024 to 43 TWh in 2025." In ONE year. The AI corporate arms race is eating the world.

The tech industry should've wisened up to the need for organised labour a long time ago. The next best moment is now.

Gleam v1.17.0 is out now! ✨ gleam.run/news/single-...

Is being told to "bridge the gap between the CTO vibe-coding and my team's delivery" the moment I should examine my options?

We tried to warn you about Anthropic. Now they're using xAI's ultra-polluting community-killing nightmare data centre to power your toxic claude relationship All the new paid subs from @rutgerbregman.com and @quitgpt.bsky.social's campaign, now powered by Musk 🫠 www.anthropic.com/news/higher-...

I'm not sure how Mozilla focusing on security bug fixes is a tell of anything. It's great that Firefox is getting more secure, but this isn't mythos, this is dedicating the time to focus on these issues, LLMs have been decent at spotting those for a while now. But once again, gotta sell the hype.

I did not have Slay the Spire 2 reminding us that gamergate is, alas, alive and well on my bingo card for 2026, but here we are

Huge thanks to @kattenbarge.bsky.social for joining me to debunk this absurd viral claim that “feminist” IG pages and newsletters have promoted to manufacture consent for some very dangerous policies

What is the collective noun for people who work at Google? I propose 'an arrogance of Googlers'. Individually, they're lovely people — the ones I've met, anyway. But put them in a room together with some promo incentives and they become an absolute menace

I'm starting to see a lot more "Get on with the program or get out" when it comes to AI adoption at work. This is how you get workers to divest from their work. And honestly, this really stinks of snake-oil. I'm so tired. The church of emacs was a joke, stop making tools into objects of worship

After reading a lot of the Claude Code base that was leaked taught me two things 1. I have never been more reassured than I am now. Software Developers will be around for a long time. 2. Claude Code has a hidden command to hide that a contribution was made by a Claude employee

"AI is just another tool" No. Tools don't have logins, subscriptions, or silent updates that change how they function. You own tools. You control tools. AI is a *platform* until this is what coding with LLMs means (and if it becomes a tool we should remember that some tools require training to use)

installed the dunning-kruger machine and it's frankly astounding that they built it to be an expert in every single subject matter except the one in which i am well-trained

This is indicative of a mindset which essentially says "there can be no such thing as scholarship or intelligence when it comes from a group I've been conditioned to demonize" and we'd all be better off if we realized these people are simply like this. There's nothing to persuade here, it's bigotry.

holy fuckin shit lmao a supply chain attack perpetrated by a prompt injection in a github ISSUE TITLE eh. coding agents? what could go wrong

Finally got over myself and set a domain up. Not the most inspired one, but after spending a year in analysis paralysis, I'll take the win.

Because the lessons of the Holocaust is not that we "shouldn't do a Holocaust", it's that we should oppose the conditions that made the cruelty of the Holocaust possible at all: authoritarianism, laws of the strongest, scapegoating and oppression of minorities, normalizing apartheid & genocide, etc.

This book was foundational for me all the way back then, I cannot recommend this enough.

It's been a heck of a year!

Gleam v1.14.0 is out now! Merry Christmas everyone! 🎁 gleam.run/news/the-hap...

Embrace, extend... What's after that?

Is Gleam production ready? Yes. Can you write games in Gleam? Yes. Can you buy any Gleam games on Steam? YES! 😎

Can we just admit that the Canadian liberals are conservatives in red at this point?

Universal control is really getting super buggy in more recent versions, making mouse cursors disappear in the ether. Am I the only one?

How that sort of thing is tolerated in any community is mind-boggling to me. That guy is absolutely radioactive. I was considering a switch to NixOS on the Bazzite computer, but now I know what I'm doing over the Christmas break.

Please update right now, no ifs or buts

Hmmm, oxfmt might not quite be there for me. It's in alpha so I can't be too hard on it, but some of it is perf-related. Coming from biome, the json perf feels really underwhelming (Yes, I know, it's handed off to prettier)

I'm seeing more and more people jump ship, using either codeberg or @tangled.org (me included). Not a significant amount, but the cracks are starting to show...

I know, I know: dealing with SQL is hard and ORMs seem like a great choice to avoid dealing with it. But sticking to "plain old SQL" can actually have a great developer experience! Here's why you might not need an ORM after all www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEJx...

Talking to high schoolers in half an hour about the wonders of programming, feeling oddly stressed out about it!

while this is about to hit 2k just a reminder that im available for contract work at the moment, if you're using gleam or lustre* at work and want some extra hands/eyes then hit me up! *or elm, or react

I've never seen the industry so reluctant to spend. I had a company with 9 figures (yes, in USD) in revenue turn down a low five figure quote for a custom solution that would be revenue generating. As a side note, if you're looking for a web swiss army knife, your gal is free in Q1~

Door is open, you can leave.
