And now this year we got... chibi SLS cake!!! 🚀🚀🚀

Senior Platform Engineer finds a solid excuse to build a PAAS! More news at 11

Announcing my engagement to autism: (might be ambient unrelated audio)

Finally going to conferences again! Feels like returning to being a physical human person.

Keeping my qwen3 in cold storage and then popping it out of a flashdrive in 20 years like a bottle of fine wine

Today I realized that I (34) am more similar to the mom (45 - 34 == 11) talking her adult daughter to college than I am the adult daughter in the middle of said college (34 - 20 == 14) ... @_@ ...

TFW you wake up to 16 notifications and your first reaction is anxiety rather than excitement Hate brigades are more popular than like, talking about things you like

like, if you're not gonna use a project because AI was used in the development process, i have some bad news for y'all about the official Bluesky app... Claude is all up in this thing!

If you’re a software engineer, designer, or technologist who wants to help make City government work better and faster, apply to join our PIT crews at nyc.gov/pitcrew.

not sure if anyone noticed this, but Zohran Mamdani’s new PIT crew is specifically hiring for candidates with agentic coding experience — we need more leftists leveraging AI for the public good, so this is encouraging to see!

For me one of the more interesting parts of doing approx the same thing for a decade, is recognizing people who were @ that point when I started! Me feeling like dang I'm good at this been honing my craft People who have been aware me doing that since I was 20, being like, yeah you are vibes

Sorry bluesky, LinkedIn is where all the cool stuff is going these days 😎

Kitty graphics protocol MCP App inside a terminal I'm just saying words

All my best ideas happen when I should really really really be asleep But then the fun part is waking up the next morning like ?!?!!.???? A lot of that this morning

The social media thing where you screenshot every post you don't like so you can be upset at the person literally forever, like years and years, after they have gone to lengths to delete and retract and apologize So like, fundamentally, ... why?

Now you can opt out of having your posts shown to non-followers in the Discover feed. We know not everyone wants to go viral. Sometimes you're just posting for your followers. This is one of a few updates we're working on to give you more control over your experience and help you find your people.

I did a livestream wherein I got my custom #deepseek backed harness to vaguely assist some other agents doing data gathering. But mostly to harass them TBH 😄 www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKc7...

The fully animated and colored ‘Pretty Pretty Please I Don’t Want to be a Magical Girl’ pilot by @kianamai.bsky.social will release next Friday, September 4th.

Let thee not be blinded by the allure of $300/yr of vanity domains. Particularly not the Dot AI ones.

job app asked me what my favorite programming language was and I really really really wanted to say yaml but chickened out

The unspeakable horrors have gained an overtun window, I fear

Unseeable horrors but I've gotta figure out which horrors aren't encoding in the correct bitrate and also there's some visual tearing when the fake human cuts their fake onions

pls appreciate the chibi SLS cake ✨🚀✨

I had 30 notifications on here, and my first thought was that someone was raging @ me because *waves* pick any of the readily available reasons But turns out that it was just a data error and a bunch of my existing notifications had become unread! This displays how I feel about social media tho

It's shocking to me how many left leaning people seem to actively prefer being upset over any kind of curiosity. Seems much more common over the last 4 ish years. I don't really care to adopt the majority opinion here. I'm fine with not having a community centered around identity politics.

Sure I'll bite - being autistic and having to offset the constant information overload of certain social situations - doing things one would do with a phone without needing to be looking down at it - the above, but applied to visuals that are awkward to take pictures of. ex: food allergy lookups

I run my own gut forgo now. Keeping disk space managed is a bit stressful. But overall very very worth it for me. Highly recommend if you're ops-y enough to self host and have a bunch of personal projects. Just as an example, here's my deploy forgejo.coilysiren.me

My pet frustration today is people being upset at chatgpt because, every possible reason, but today because... HOW DARE YOU USE AI TO SUMMARIZE YOUR COWORKERS MESSAGES 300 upvotes, "everyone" agrees. Clearly nobody that's watching this YouTube short has been in a slack of 100 or more people???

These days my ideal $600 month long vacation is 200 each on Claude + Codex + Bezi: www.bezi.com And like, $600 *is* vacation prices ya know? So that seems reasonable

bruh deepseek is like 100% cheaper than claude opus??? what kind of volume can I even push through this thing, jeez!!!

I did an inbox 0 sweep this weekend and it's so comforting to be in my inbox now. Only 5 emails? 🧘🏽‍♀️

Designing a GrubHub MCP for funsies

I'm doing visual regression tests on my space sim Which is exactly how my teenage self would have liked me to be spending my weekends

Usage limit hit 10% after days of running Sol high for everything So I switch to Luna medium It takes maybe 2 minutes before I become extraordinarily annoyed with it. Why would anyone pay for this. Once my Sol high runs out I'll just use my self hosted qwen3. Or. Touch grass.
