A digital cross-stitch artwork featuring a vibrant orange and white fox curled up and sleeping peacefully at the base of a large tree. The scene is set in an autumn forest with warm tones of deep red, orange, and gold, creating a cozy and pixelated texture.

Something I’m working on. 🦊🧵

Why ‪@why.bsky.team‬ Until December of last year I was using LLMs as fancy autocomplete for coding. It was nice for scaffolding out boilerplate, or giving me a gut check on some things, or banging out some boring routine stuff. In the past two months Claude has written about 99% of my code. Things are changing. Fast

in case you ever wondered why bsky breaks all the fuckin time and is increasingly a pile of jank

Marsupials previously thought extinct for millennia discovered in New Guinea The chances of finding one mammal species thought to be lost was ‘almost zero’ and finding two is ‘unprecedented’, biologist Tim Flannery says

"Two charismatic marsupial species that had been thought extinct for 6,000 years are alive in rainforest in remote West Papua."

Oh yeah this is super cool as both the pygmy long-fingered possum and ring-tailed glider were previously only known from fossils 🤯🧪🐀

Gaming pro from Cameroon detained by ICE for deportation An Oxon Hill-based computer gaming champion is facing deportation, and his family says his life would be in peril in his native Cameroon.

He thought it was a routine ICE check-in. Now his family fears he’ll be deported to a country where he is not safe.

What's scary about this story is the surveillance it hints at. This trans woman had changed her name, legally, but chose not to change her gender marker. She was apparently flagged in the DMV system as trans and her license was invalidated under a law that supposedly only concerned gender markers.
