mr president i have no fucking clue what number plane this is anymore

the RCE in node.js is bad enough that alarm bells should be going off and i won't elaborate, please trust me

"funnier" is an interesting word

the node vulns a lot funnier than the php one

shitposts aside, this one is serious, my loves: if you’re just waking up and you have any service online running PHP 5.4 to latest, you need to take it down RIGHT NOW and don’t put it back online until after it’s patched absolutely catastrophic vulnerability dropped in the middle of the night

Want to thank @lukegearing.bsky.social, @samsorensen.bsky.social and @olddog.games for their incredibly inspiring work, Season 1 of HIGHLANDER will hopefully start running soon and the graphics I've got in the oven are some of my favourite I've done so far. Watch this space 👀

Its pretty traditional for larger fest larp type deals to have group concepts where you come in as a unit. We've actually had one of those in APA: they're the MurderGang, and they are led by Death, a woman from planet Clown. Its. Its honestly remarkable to watch. Big up @junefromjune.bsky.social

the thing is some of the shadows on the cave wall go kinda hard

Ysabel Yates'... I mean Cookie Monster's superb takedown of why GenAI in the workplace sucks.

Precision in the rules doc is super important to me for the game to feel eminently fair, I don't ever want myself or another player to be surprised that an action was *possible*, only that it was taken, and that means having a ruleset that is as easy to read and interpret as possible.

I think about how many things that are talked about like they are cool teen trends (tiktok, scrolling, etc) are not invented by teens at all but are technology forced on them

sometimes the thing someone wants is flat-out the wrong thing and you need someone else's input ! sometimes you're almost there but it's someone else who shows you how to do it in the most ergonomic way . sometimes you don't want to do it yourself and you want to just trust someone else's idea

there are so many times i want to solve a problem, have an idea of how i would solve it myself, and then i look into how others approach it and realize i had entirely the wrong conception of how to do it ! and it would've taken waywaywaywayy longer by myself to learn a better way !

If you get a little too invested in watching Nando's influencers is that a peri-peri-social relationship?

"Software developers are not okay" www.baldurbjarnason.com/2026/05-soft... The software industry is becoming increasingly hostile to those who work in it. The uncertainty is affecting even those who believe in the promises of tech. Direct link to the essay: www.baldurbjarnason.com/2026/05-soft...

I made a comic.

library design has suffered so greatly from the assumption that the enduser is an AI who does not care about ergonomics

nothing hits wrong quite like the unsettlingly verbose GUI of a piece of vibecoded software

i don't think i want to do this social media thing at all anymore

i've written a post about Lua, teaching you all about upvalues! the ins and outs, all the way to some very fun stuff you can do with them. this is the start of a series of blog posts i'm planning, deep-diving into many of Lua's features. you can read it here: lunadialsys.org/lua-01-upval... #lua

i posted an epiphany i had about why i hate AI so much on fedi and i wanna post it here but it won't fit and i don't wanna cut it down to size so fuckit i'm just posting a screenshot

the “C” in “CPU” stands for the C Programming Language. CPUs are called that because they are a hardware implementation of the C Abstract Machine as specified by ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 22/WG 14.

conventional wisdom for the entire time i've been programming has always been "less code is better". the idea that we must write more code faster is ridiculous. the problem has never been rate of output

this kind of outcome was predictable the moment so-called "agents" became productized. the Spam Economy azhdarchid.com/imagining-th...

alright that’s enough talking to slightly abnormal authors. for the REAL sickos: the iosevka font family is monospaced first but has proportional sans (Aile) and serif (Etoile) variants. typeof dot net slash iosevka. check it out

do i know anyone who's recently made the switch from android to ios for their primary phone? would be curious to hear thoughts and reasons and how it's worked out

"we turned all our work into code review" how's that going "don't know i stopped checking if things work"
