you'd think this sentence wouldn't make as much sense as it does, but I in fact have been to 2026 and I regret to inform you

I guess I'm glad they found some practical use for it

Indigo is my favorite Bluesky and Mastodon client - it's better than either default app - and there's a new version today with a bunch of cool new features. Definitely check it out, it's a bargain at $15 for a single network client. @benricem.bsky.social & @vegh.ca made a good one here!

This one will hurt: I love 1Password as a product. But I'm the son of a concentration camp survivor. I will not give money to companies that align themselves with nationalism, and certainly not ethnic cleansing. Completely disappointing, @1password.bsky.social. www.flyingpenguin.com/dhh-nazism-f...

DHH has now ruined my password manager too somehow

Started reading Awakened by A. E. Osworth - recommend so far. TL;DR: trans witches fight an evil AI. Really good writing - the voice of the narrator is unique and I think really clever. I'm not quite sure how to say this well, but there's a glimpse in there of the trans experience? and I appreciate.

IDK who needs to hear this, but you shouldn't buy promises of utopian futures with abundance and UBI from dudes who spend a considerable fraction of their time figuring out how not to pay their taxes.

Here are my giant robots for #PortfolioDay

I've clearly been hanging out at the wrong libraries.

Maybe a bit of a long shot here, but does anyone reading this have an invite for lobste.rs?

The new Granblue Fantasy Relink expansion has its hooks in me pretty deep

I read this and immediately subscribed to @aftermath: .

Last night I read Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow ahead of the movie this weekend and - wow! It's FANTASTIC! Good writing and really, really good art. DC Universe Unlimited has most of the issues for free, I think?

My wife did not appreciate my "did it all for the gnocchi" joke, ama

[youth pastor voice] You know who else exfiled successfuly despite being knocked

The current moment in tech is loosely understood as software guys getting so evil they made hardware guys discover Marxism from first principles.

Trans rights are human rights, now and always

Hello fellow kids, I have made a meme

"oh look at me, I'm Ben McKenzie, I was in the OC and then I got a degree in economics and crypto is a scam but no one was doing anything about it so I made a documentary also I’m married to Morena Baccarin" man good for you

ECMAScript Euphoria! 🎉 We don't always post when a single proposal advances, but when we do, it's Temporal -> Stage 4. Just days shy of 9 years from Stage 1, a herculean effort on the part of many champions, delegates, invited experts, and contributors, past and present. Thank you all! 🙌

the curse of being a dedicated generalist is that I worked on this design and started feeling nostalgic for the days I was a FT designer then I worked on code and missed the days when I was a FT programmer as a generalist, everything is fun and there's never enough time to focus on any of it 😭

In trying times, remember that there are small ways to make a difference.

it certainly feels like a goalpost

From the latest "Don't worry about the Vase". Something to remember.

Unfortunate Play button placement on this one.

Sad but true (this is not a judgement on B5, which still slaps)

That's... a lot of hail.

Inside you there are two wolves. One is active, the other one is on hot standby and becomes active if the first one fails or is taken down for maintenance. Add more wolves as necessary for increased redundancy load balancing. A quorum badger can be added for environments with multiple active wolves.

From my notes as I struggle to get a Python environment running so I can experiment with building an AI agent:

Whoever designed the Apple TV setup process should be forced to do the manual setup without an Apple device forever. Or, alternatively, to step on a lego every time you wake up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. I'm honestly not sure which one is worse.

Libro is hiring! The Ruby on Rails team I'm on has 3 members right now (me + 2 others) and we're looking for a 4th to round out the team. If you love Ruby, Rails, remote work and books, I'd love to work with you! 💙📚

tl:dr: Cook should resign.

all the executive freaks managing successful games media institutions need to do is nothing and they still manage to fuck that up

I know the Android app ecosystem is a mess but there are very talented iOS developers out there who should be thinking really hard about what this says about what Apple thinks of them

This was taken using a "Kurosawa Tribute" simulation I found on Reddit. The Nothing Phone 3a Pro is a neat device.

It's been a while since I was last walking regularly and now I'm trying to rebuild the habit and get some fitness back. I found this great path at the back of a tiny park this morning. The Nothing 3a Pro camera isn't bad, and the custom film simulations are pretty neat.
