It does feel like that sometimes

Maybe some new forge should prohibit bad code

Don’t talk to me about semicolons: I don’t like anything half-assed.

They absolutely did not lose this case. They just bought themselves some nice shiny 10-year regulatory capture for the low, low price of $18b and with one stroke just killed at least three dozen future competitors before they could even be founded. This was a complete victory.

Starting a Persona 5, this time intending to complete the walkthrough somehow

Two hours compromise window (from 07:15 to 09:25) is impressively short

love that spammers think I’m the kind of guy to have a chase bank account

One must imagine Sisyphus coding happily

what's up with jetstream.us-east.bsky.network/status?tab=s... (503, that's what)

LinkedIn broke ctrl-click on the external links in Safari by insisting that user goes through their intermediate page for safety reasons, no doubt, and something doesn't quite work there (works good in Chromium, though)

Zinfandel! (Testing a thing that listens to jetstream)

The idea of AI “hallucinating” is one I wish I’d had!

I’m more of a paper bullet journal kind of guy nowadays, but that looks interesting, Due’s infinite snooze + Reminders storage + clean design.

CHICKEN 6 was released!

oh no what have I done. would look through all suggested links later!

where can I find some human illustration artists for a commission? (No ai: if I wanted to, I could prompt myself, but I don’t want ai for that)

Software orgs are a patch for inexpensiveness of modern PLs.

Tailscale moved nav to the left… I don't like it.

i’mposter syndrome

asked siri on a watch “what is 24 multiplied by 16” and felt a tinge of remorse at my unwillingness to calc in my mind (it’s the amount of water for coffee) the watch replied, “24x16… To do that you need to be online.” so we both are stupid, that’s a relief

@manton.org can you share some details of how you achieved Ulysses integration? :) (not that it’s Micropub, more in the terms of how you came to agreement with them to do that)
