Someone get the man away from the Panda Express fortune cookies. They’re giving him ideas.

Now look, this is on me for being lazy and buying frozen, but I don’t expect to be able to count the water chestnut slices in an “Asian vegetable medley”

I absolutely loathe boring heart necklaces, so it's the season for "hearts that don't suck." Check this one out at ladiesofiron.com! #metalsmith #art #handmade #jewelry #silversmith #goldsmith #artjewelry #silverjewelry #bronzejewelry #metalart #necklace

Just gonna post this Bioshock-Steampunk crowdfund campagin again because: A) This team has absolutely delivered before B) They just comitted to supporting One Page Rules C) I want the vehicles in that last stretch goal (it's mostly that last one) www.backerkit.com/c/projects/t...

Kagi’s Orion browser successfully blocks all ads, including YouTube ads, both on desktop and mobile. It also blocks first-party and third-party scripts and requests. That means that Orion always blocks all trackers by default 👇 kagi.com/orion/

OpenAI's nightmare: DeepSeek R1 on a Raspberry Pi 5 ;) www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1sN...

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last. Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

Cool, cool, I have a close friend who’s in the hospital at this very moment. He’s on Medicaid because a severe accident left him unable to work. Man, I’m really feeling the “great again” part of this bullshit.

I make lots of breakfast burritos in advance and freeze them. Dropped one this morning. Those suckers can do some damage.

Not saying I used to be a more up-tight person, but I am just now realizing how much I like sweatpants on a weekend.

If nothing else, ignore the national stage and focus on your local communities. There are going to be negative consequences (economic, medical, etc) hitting many of our of neighbors soon enough. Small actions still affect lives.

self-taught developers have advantages of our own: - you didn't get into coding _by accident_ - embrace your drive - use other skills in your coding - e.g. your problem solving or creativity or verbal talent plus: - play with code! - ask 'why' a lot - try to help others out #ama roe.dev/ama

I'm just starting to get into hledger.org for tracking finances, and stuff like this warms my programmer/ocd heart.

Work is branching out into privacy-first network monitoring software for the consumer market, and Google Ads has been a nightmare. Our website keeps getting arbitrarily flagged as "compromised". Granted, web dev isn't our main focus...but we're talking a static Nuxt site on Netlify. Just wild.

Weird how much "Desert" by Brand New has been stuck in my head recently.

Haven't had a chance to mountain bike in...too long. But tires are still holding air, so that's a success! Just ignore the gravel bike over there that smells vaguely of sealant.

This whole "was it or was it not a salute" thing is a distraction because it inevitably devolves into an argument over intent. An endless free-for-all with an unprovable answer. I focus on actions. You can build people up, tear people down, or do nothing. I respect those who do the first.

You know, it's really difficult to do post processing on a 3D print when you forgot to actually start the print.

"Keys To The Country." I made this piece 4 years ago, it's made from fused US currency. Seems like a relevant metaphor today. #art #politics #inauguration #trump #democrats #jewelry #metalwork #resist #Biden #welding #oligarchy #musk #elonmusk #meta #artjewelry

Schlubs From U.S., China Meet In Lowest-Level Talks theonion.com/schlubs...

Completely agree with this. I sent Bambu support a message respectfully stating the same thing yesterday.

You might think I’m loving Path of Exile 2 for the gameplay. Nope. It’s the tab management. The amount of dopamine I get from _sorting_ feels unhealthy.

It’s embarrassing the sheer number of times I’ve read “Gavin Newsom” and thought the article was about Gabe Newell.

As a New Yorker, can confirm.

Some of my LA friends have told me that the problem is climate change, and it is. It’s January for fucks sake. But that doesn’t mean we have to solve climate change to better control fire. If we wait for that, cities will keep burning. There are ways to mitigate risk. www.latimes.com/california/s...

I don't know what it is with my brain. Tell me I can buy a production model e-MTB and I turn my nose up. Tell me I can put way more time and effort into retrofitting a hardtail with a kit and my brain lights up: www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdFz...

mDNS is a super cool protocol until you have to debug it

#FreeJavaScript update: Oracle has informed us they won’t voluntarily withdraw their trademark on "JavaScript". Next: they’ll file their Answer and we’ll start discovery to show how "JavaScript" is widely recognized as a generic term and not controlled by Oracle.

this is basically how usernames work on bluesky btw

Always good advice. I’m not saying I actually follow it…but I recognize that I SHOULD, and my data at least appreciates the thought.

Thou shalt not kill' also means 'thou shalt not let profit margins decide who lives and who dies.'

True story, had a call when I worked IT about a desktop not powering on. "Is it plugged in?" "Yes, to a power strip." "Is the power strip switched on?" "Yes." "Is the power strip plugged in?" "Yes." "What is it plugged in to?" "The power strip" ... ... ... Guy thanked me for my time and hung up.

This is what success looks like when you're updating a 15 year old switch to 8 year old firmware. So long, web-UI-shouting-about-needing-Java!

Ok fair warning, the PoE2 game servers are getting absolutely hammered. Even so, logging in is shockingly quick when there’s capacity. Kudos to the team handling their networking stack. I’m sure it’s all hands on deck for this weekend, but they’re going to be just fine.

Path of Exile 2 is hooking me fast, and that’s _with_ the launch weekend server overload. Giving me the pentium-era hack-and-slash vibe in all the right ways. Great, great UI on console too.

It feels crazy to me that there's no TypeScript-native, local-first tool for testing LLM-powered apps. So, I'm building one. It's based on Vitest, and it's called Evalite. Here's an early preview. www.aihero.dev/evalite-an-e...

We’re starting to bake Tanstack in to our code base as well. Just solid, well made packages.

“Hello, IT. Have you tried turning it off and on and off again?”

We want Bluesky to be a great home for journalists, publishers, and creators. Unlike other platforms, we don't de-promote your links. Post all the links you want — Bluesky is a lobby to the open web.

Spending a month on Bluesky has created a whole new model of a fight we need to be having right now. Not liberal vs. conservative or whatever, but respect vs manipulation. I am tired of being manipulated everywhere I go. That’s why I like it here, I feel like I’m in charge for once.
