The Opposite of Personalization On the value of things nobody selected for us, and why a perfectly personalized world risks changing us less and less. Read more: aimbivalence.com/en/bits/the-opposite-of-personalization/ #AI #aimbivalence

The Government™ has made an ad about all these protests happening around the world, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative.

Let’s not loose this #ForOurDaughters. #Vote

Them, proudly: "I don't even look at the code anymore" Me, wading through the bugs: "Yeah, I can tell..."

😵‍💫 Trump really does say the stupidest things

“The only sensible solution at this point is a moratorium on datacentres until very basic questions about how many we need, what for, where, and how pollution will be avoided are answered satisfactorily by the government” - @olliehayes.bsky.social 👏

Did you know you only need a small brain to make silly little drawings?

I remember when a president using a slur would be national news for weeks. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2026-election/trump-anti-trans-slur-annie-andrews-south-carolina-democrat-senate-rcna601767

A year ago, @propublica.org told you immigration agents had detained more than 170 U.S. citizens. We’ve updated our count, and we’ve got all the receipts. The tally: At least 506 citizens detained. Sometimes held at gunpoint, handcuffed, or even deported. projects.propublica.org/american-cit...

these are my only feelings about generative "AI." i do not care how much it "works," ever. i'll be over here scraping charcoal and ochre on the cave wall until they kill me

The Belleville synagogue shooter was an antisemitic COVID conspiracist discharged from the army for refusing vaccines. It's wild that commentary on this shooting IMMEDIATELY went to anti-immigrant, Islamophobic bigotry. But THIS is the extremism that sent me an antisemitic death threat in 2022.

This is the energy I want to see at NO KINGS on October 17!

Over the last few weeks I have forked the archived Struturizr .NET SDK and launched the NuGet pacakges for use. I could really use help and feedback, so if you use C4 in the .NET space, please take a look and leave me issues/PRs for things that are missing! stacy-clouds.net/blogposts/20...

#TheUpsideDown

Who wants to be on the same stage with someone so gutless? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Don't be like Ed.

Saturday was sewing day, today I went for art. I saw an acrylic tutorial on YouTube but was too fatigued to get those paints out, so I went with acrylic pens instead. Not great, but (a) better than nothing (b) better than I would have done a year ago and (c) way, way better than AI slop 🥰

For the first time in years I got my sewing machine out to fix a manufacturing defect in a pair of jeans I bought. I forgot to send them back in time, and now they are fixed I’m glad I didn’t. They would have gone to landfill, this way they get used!

Rough Draft vs Final Draft

Woohoo! I just recorded the first session of my upcoming Podcast - RedHeadPod - telling the stories of the people behind the developer community. Thank you @tiagocosta.bsky.social for being my guineapig! Now just the editing tro do 😅

First day back at work after a 2 week vacation and it's update time. macOS: 10 mins for the update to installe and restart Windows: 30 mins and counting. 2 restarts so far I hate that Windows has become so unusable 😭

It really is this simple… social.tinyview.com/EVcgV22ZH5b

I was watching the partial eclipse we had through my telescope (with solar filter) and tried to get a picture through the eyepiece. Unfortunately it went too low below the trees before the maximum but it was still a. Amazing experience!

Why help fund schools, hospitals, roads, infrastructure etc when you just spend that $100m dollars fighting AGAINST funding those things 🤦‍♂️

When I return from spending some time with my family I'm going to be spending a couple of days learning something new. Something that I love about my career. It's also something that is scary about my career. But always learning means there is always something new stacy-clouds.net/blogposts/20...

Note to self. Don’t vacuum in a tight space where the sound can get really high pitch whilst wearing your hearing aids… That hurt…

Dead or alive, Mitch McConnell is on extended medical leave — on your dime. This is the same Mitch McConnell who voted against: paid family and medical leave for everyone else.

Fucking hell as if receiving automated rejection letters for jobs wasn't bad enough.

I did it, I for my birthday this year I have decided to give myself time to listen to music again. Only it's not that simple... The easier music is to listen to, the harder it is to sit and liten to something intentionallty. VIntage audio, here I come! stacy-clouds.net/blogposts/20...
