OK, we have our first question, courtesy of @anildash.com! Here’s what I found … (thread)

baby owls sleep face down because their heads are so big and heavy that their bodies can't support them yet

lmao [big vertical billboard on the side of a building reads Elon Musk gets a lot of hate. But it’s not enough. We can do better.]

No se uds pero a mi Family Search siempre me da buenas noticias 😂

Desire paths are one of my core beliefs that more people should understand and embrace. Stop trying to make us humans do the hard thing and start paving the easy thing

Enraged at being ignored, PS/2 plans it's revenge.

Cuando tenía 15, en un campamento del liceo, uno de los animadores estaba tratando de decir algo y a mí me venía tos, y eso pasó como 3 veces hasta que me dijo “cállate, sonás a una foca”. 3 días después todo el liceo me decía foca. Y bueno, si no puedes ganarles, úneteles.

Atoms are binary. They are either intended to be hydrogen or helium. We can't just scrap this worldview just because of a handful of exceptions

In three days I’ll be back in Mexico cave diving and pretty much nothing else matters right now :) 🤿

Homeless (expected) & prostitution (unexpected, but I guess I _am_ a little tired of working in tech).

You can over-design. Even the most beautiful interface elements, when combined, can create something overwhelming. Minimalism in interface design isn’t just a mindless trend. It’s the result of years spent stripping away visual distractions to focus on content. Choose your decorations wisely.

Now think about how most of these people write text that’s on social media and how tech companies harvest that to train LLMs.

There's a clear, well-defined JS-industrial-complex pipeline from "you should adopt this SPA-based technology because better user experiences" to "you don't have any choice, despite the terrible user experiences". Most of it operates by omission. But it's still based on lies.

Now that you opened the box you are.

Pet peeve of mine: too many people talking about "politicians, schools, streets, anything" here in an all-encompassing way, e.g. "I've made a tool to label *all* politicians". While they actually mean: "in the USA". We need locations as a separate attribute in the profiles!

Big win for Team Oxford Comma

Another day, another developer is convinced they can find a tech solution to a human problem.

Bluesky explained in 60 seconds!

I would love to tell you about the times vaccines prevented me from getting sick, but every time it happens, I don’t notice. I just keep feeling well. Neither do you. Public health, when it’s working, is invisible.

Many commentators say that vigilante groups are never the answer. But they clearly don't know about the masked Ecuadorian trio named “Acción Ortográfica Quito,” who roam the streets at night with a singular purpose: to correct all the spelling and grammar mistakes they find in graffiti.

“The data is the API” reminds me a lot of “The value is the boundary”, the core of one of my favorite programming talks: www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/bounda...

For me it was creating a fan site for Baldur’s Gate, back in ‘99 or so. Sadly I lost the code, because I’d love to see how terrible it was 😅 Lots of imagemap navigation and gifs. Worthy of geocities at its worst (best).

hitman: who am I killing? dog: ever hear of a guy named pavlov? hitman: rings a bell dog: *narrows eyes* that's right

You can only read 600 posts per day on Bluesky because that’s how many there are

In case anyone wants to know, apparently Twitter is self-DDOSing and Elon doesn't know how to fix it and is actively making it worse

I'm gonna make this the most posted meme on Bluesky I swear

Let's do this!
