Hi, I'm Doug

That @adobe.com has yet to announce Linux support given how fast Linux is growing and more an more countries announcing they're dropping Windows for Linux... It doesn't help that DaVinci Resolve is improving their Linux support and GIMP keeps getting better.

Once again we're trying to get the Kurds to do our dirty work and I'm sure this time, unlike every other time, we'll actually fully support them and definitely won't leave them to the mercy of whatever despotic regime we happen to have instigated things with like every other fucking time.

I'm starting to think Reddit is bad for my mental health.

The more I use Spotify the more I really hope someone else absolutely crushes them. I don't want audiobooks, I have an app for podcasts, and I NEVER want AI slop songs. If Tidal fixes the artist merging bug I'm switching.

You can highlight the redacted text to copy and paste it to see the full text and if you search for "Trump " (note the space) it returns results on the site but just "Trump" returns nothing. These people are so, so stupid. How are they this stupid?

Me: With the enshitifaction of Windows in full swing it's time to give Linux a look. I mostly only care about gaming anyway... Linux: OK, do you want [starts listing dozens of distros and DE's...] Me: Uh.... [Several days of Googling later] So... Nobara? Nobara.

The argument against a female president always seems to boil down to what if she gets moody and starts a war. With Trump I think I finally see the concern. Turns out the issue was a senile old man.

So, NY, who are you primarying against Schumer? The old man has to go. If Dems are to have any chance we need people who aren't out of touch. We're on Pelosi over here with a couple great options. What's the hold up with you? newrepublic.com/post/202554/...

After spending a chunk of my morning fighting Apple's "here, I'll help by moving your headphones to that device" feature I'm not so convinced I like it anymore. Me: [Listening to music on my computer] Phone: Ping! Apple: WE GOTTA GET OVER THERE!!! Me: But I was listening— Apple: SHHHHHHH...

Just sitting here waiting for the tech industry to go, "You know, most of us don't need AWS or Vercel or any of these. We'd be fine on any number of VPS providers." I feel like the clustering that happens with service infrastructure like this is just terrible for us. futurism.com/future-socie...

Hey, Dick, SHUT. THE. FUCK. UP. You know what happens when Dems negotiate? Literally everything that's happened in the last 20 years of my adult fucking life. Sit down. Shut up. The country blames the GOP. Make them come to the table. This isn't rocket surgery. www.npr.org/2025/10/09/n...

At this point if the Dems get back into power and they don't completely remake the Supreme Court... I'm done. I won't be able to vote for them ever again because, at that point, I can't believe that they actually are on the side of Americans. They really will be just a slightly les shitty GOP.

Today on #Tailwind is bad and it should feel bad: They implemented `overflow: clip` but not `overflow-clip-margin: <value>`. Why bother with clip if you aren't going to give people a way to set the margin?

Hey @cinemawins.bsky.social, like, I'm sure this model is a nice person but having someone clean shaven on the Beautiful Beard Win t-shirt... Come on, @nebula.tv... store.nebula.tv/collections/...

@groundnews.bsky.social question for you lovely peeps: If I get the Vantage plan and use someone's 40% discount code (shout out for @hankgreen.bsky.social), does that renew at the full price after the first year or is that a "forever so long as you have this plan" discount? Landing page doesn't say.

Everything happening around Charlie Kirk just further convinces me that Republicans care about their rights and no one else's. Also that if hypocrisy was an energy source theirs would power humanity into the stars.

So much for the GOP and never forgetting 9/11... I wonder how Rudy feels about this.

Sounds good, I'll just cancel it. www.engadget.com/entertainmen... Music: Broad availability and fair pricing means virtually no piracy. Gaming: Some piracy, usually of games that are more restricted or super expensive. Movies/TV: So much piracy. SO MUCH. Do the math, guys.

Man, today's been wild. And the memes have really been on target.

I don't know how this was missed but when we got CSS Cascade Layers (@layer) they didn't give us a way to specify order beyond defining them earlier in the file. Which is great until you can't control what CSS shows in the file first. Like in any built framework. FML.

I got to use "di tutti" today and that made me happy. If you're unfamiliar, "capo di tutti capo" means "boss of all bosses" and was the term used for the head of the Sicilian mob. Think "The Godfather". It's fun to use in silly ways like "kitty di tutti kitty".

And yet @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social are STILL silent. Maybe they realize their so unpopular with the average Democratic voter that they fear they'd hurt his chances. But that begs the question: Why aren't they stepping down? newrepublic.com/post/200205/...

Here's an idea: Support grass roots progressive candidates who are showing broad support among the base. Or I guess you guys could just keep talking. Because that's literally all the Democrats do now. They talk. They just talk. www.npr.org/2025/08/26/n...

I'll be voting for this, not because I think gerrymandering for any reason is good—it's not, it's horribly undemocratic—but because my hope is that if this gets too far out of hand they'll just pass a law banning gerrymandering in any form.

Hey @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov, you two need any more motivation to support Mamdani or is this enough? And y'all wonder why you have trouble motivating democrats to vote... newrepublic.com/post/199255/...

YouTube has added a new feature that looks at where people are most often skipping in a video and prompts you to skip past that section. This has the effect of skipping most, if not all, ad reads for me. As a viewer, I love this. As a person who wants the internet to continue... I worry.

Reasons why I will always only use Reddit with an ad blocker enabled: Because they have auto-playing ads with sound. I thought we all agreed this was objectively bad 15 years ago and stopped doing it. I distinctly remember that happening.

You know what I fucking hate? Doc sites that bind Cmd + F to search. Don't fucking do that. You know what I want to be able to do? In page searches of your shitty docs. Fucking Stripe...

As an Insta360 X5 user, DJI, release a version of your new camera with user-serviceable lenses. Do that and I'm in. Insta makes the batteries different every model so I have to buy all new accessories. DJI doesn't. Just let me replace the lenses myself.

So, while it's cool that I can use my iPad as a mini display... Hey Apple, let me use touch. It's a touch screen. Do it.

Tailwind doesn't have `grid-area`. How does it not have that. It's one of the most powerful features in Grid. This would be like buying a car and being told it doesn't have seats.

One of these days I'll find a reason not to think VC's are a net bad for humanity. That's not today, apparently.

My first official industry job title was "The Admiral of The Internet" and I feel like it's been downhill ever since. This was back in like 2006 and I would remind all of you that while I was Admiral the internet was a much cooler place. Just sayin'. You're welcome.

Me: I should buy a UPS, that'll solve some problems... Amazon: Do you want this UPS? Me: No I already bought one— Amazon: What about this one? Me: No, I'm goo— Amazon: This one? Me: STO— Amazon: This one? How is this still a thing? Like at least say "do you want a slightly longer extension cable?"

[Doom scrolls the evening away...] So I think I like James Gunn and need to see the new Superman movie.

Huh, this component wasn't built with flexible content in mind… …And it's Tailwind so I can't just use CSS to target it from a parent… …And the component doesn't accept arbitrary classes… …I'm going to have refactor the whole fucking thing. #TailwindStillSucks

I'm trying to figure out how to do something so I asked if anyone else has done it. I've gotten a couple dozen responses and all of them fall into one of these categories: 1. You're asking in the wrong place. 2. It's easy, just do it. 3. Never tried it. Thanks, guys. Super helpful.

The visor snap... Anyone who rides motorcycles with a full-face helmet knows that feeling. @tested.com that must have been so dang fun! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8LD...
