my hot take is the general internet is dying. I don't just mean social media - I mean regular ass websites. Multiple "something went wrong... we couldn't log you in" errors, on basic sites like Geico. big tech services (github) are now at 2 nines, no where near 5. We are dying as tech. #tech

Well funny way to find out there's a #Vulcan anti-ship missile, when it shows up in my Graphics Programming feed

putin's I.B.S.@putinsibs.bsky.social

two #Vulkan anti-ship missiles, while the nuclear submarine #Omsk fired a salvo of #Granit cruise missiles. A crew from the #Bastion coastal missile system fired an #Onyx anti-ship missile from the coast of one of the #Kuril Islands.

Very cool article! A lot of folks enjoyed PIGCON Plaza, and it's obvious we had a ton of fun working on it 😍

You draw a little guy on your phone, a pig in a hat, and seconds later it poofs onto a giant screen full of strangers' creatures. That's PIGCon Plaza, built on Miren for zero dollars by @burlaprobot.bsky.social and the @pigsquad.com crew. 1,300 people came through. miren.dev/blog/drawing...

I don't see what the fuss is about "sweet summer child". I simply say it because my children were born in summer and are sweet. If they had been born in winter I would just as easily say "shitty winter child"
