Your LLM generated implementation file telling me to use wget like ugh gross shit makes me want to curl

Vibecoders in a cotton-poly blend writing in React while new-wave devs are like why yes this is pure silk Sveltvet

Likewise and thanks! Expect some thrilling notes and philosophically dumb ideas in your inbox the coming days.

@michaelaufreiter.com hello! What you're doing with editable[.]website looks super cool/divergent. I'm expressly not a dev, buuut if I jump in on the pre-release, I can guarantee creative breakage, multiple wipes, and who knows maybe my spectacular note-taking skills could help with documentation?

What're some self-fanciful job titles you've heard lately? Here's one:
- Fractional Data Architect: data platform and thought leadership for scaleup growth.
Whyyyyy! Just be a normal human and say "advisor"!

Look man mayor Michelle Wu said potentially historic so yes I did buy every box of peanut butter puffins in the Cambridge area. If this affects you, I like your style. If not, still cool. Stay safe everyone.

It is commonly exclaimed that #wayland is woke. In this political climate, this is 100% true bc it's the only workaround I have to deal with the AMD driver bug that keeps my intel iMac resuming from hibernate/sleep Jesus do ur research bro

@obsidian.md how can I toggle on light mode for your website and subdomains?

PSA for other bookish blockheads who prefer not to hurl a continuous barrage of network requests all the way out to low Earth orbit: the recent iOS security update (26.3) automatically reactivates 5G connectivity. This can be reverted in settings with the total loser toggle.

Over a week now and trazillions of DIY agents are still burning through tokens on spun-up VPS rentals, emulating the early era of humans on social media by twattering about moltbook. If the world starts catching fire, this time we can definitely blame fomolt.

Traversing #MacOS directories bc I'm a no lifer, I discovered usr/share/misc/flowers. Dated 1993, it's just a list of flowers and their symbolic meaning. Like Jasmine: transports of joy. Magnolia: dignity and perseverance. Poppy: Sleep lol that's it happy 2026 everybody!

The US Army recruitment site lists an opening for a "Parachute Rigger", whose job is to pack, assemble, and test parachutes. This means that someone out there could literally be giving dry runs to potentially defective or fatal parachutes... and not get paid. Sign me up!

Trying to improve my basic web dev skills, but #WHATWG documentation is one big no good very unhelpful nursery rhyme: "to assign slottables for a slot slot, let slottables be the result of finding slottables for slot. For each slottable of slottables, set slottable's assigned slot to slot."

Find a proper recipe for chocolate chip cookies. Make it three times. Take notes, experiment, and absolutely perfect it. S-tier community reputation rank achieved!

Dang, I'm getting hit with double turnstiles most everywhere today. Cloudflare must be feeling under the weather today.

@mattlangford.com dang Matt, over there just casually releasing exactly the theme micro needed. A special tip of the hat for the generous amount of white space and taking care of the footnotes. I appreciate you!

Here's a solid benchmark prompt for reasoning models: An internal #firefox setting for media/getusermedia is off while disabled enabled and true. In what state is the media when false?

To the team at #gohugo, you have most well-written and plainly thought out documentation I have ever read. Sincerely, thank you.

@debian.bsky.social Guys. Please. It feels like a manifest absurdity to say this. I'm trying to debug a new install, and discovered that Debian org domains still block users of Tor browser. With respect, please reconsider. Web browsers needn't be a caveat to digital privacy and internet freedom.

Consider 4th of July fireworks an opportunity to acknowledge America by legally blowing shit up.

Imagine a great parade in celebration of the Army. Picture strength. Pure American military might. A formidable warrior ethos ringing from sea to sea. The current interpretation of this? Yankee Doodle. On electric guitar.

Today's #washingtonjournal answered the question, what happens if you source a LLM from a Conversion Therapy pamphlet and the handwritten notes of an 1900s carnival preacher and then synthesised a human for its output. Happy Pride to all the scumbags of #FRC!

Global trade impact: hypothetical 1: Bob wants to buy Alice, owner of a local art gallery, high-quality printing material, such as Finnish Kaolin-coated paper. Should Bob wait for Black Friday, Cyber Monday, or Tariff Tuesday©️?

List of news sources that have not become useless and chimerical politiqué:

- corner bodega chalkboards.
- tornado sirens.

Any ideas for a third?

If you measure American democracy by calculating its ego per-capita, then this inauguration sure makes good sense

Thank or blame whomever you want the only person deserving of attention right now is Ke$ha

OpenOffice felt like I was writing under a drop-tile ceiling, surrounded by fragrantly stale contract-grade Berber carpet. Although the aesthetic degradation from LibreOffice's lifelong struggle with font-rendering on Retina is improving, it's too much for me. For now, I'm rooting for Notesnook!

Here's an opt-out I'd love to see for an AI-enshittified smart washer: "do not use my long sleeve t-shirts for experimental knot tying".

Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach AI to fish, probably RIP all life.
