Hey, it’s a bee! 🐝

@ivoanjo.bsky.social never got to say: your talk was my favourite at EuRuKo. Not a super easy topic but you broke it down expertly and presented it naturally.

So I bought one of those air dusters. Pro: it dislodged a lot of invisible dust from hard to reach places. Con: my house is now full of visible dust.

Okay, hear me out. What if we build the internet, but we replace the interconnected part with airgaps?

Hey at least they haven’t found an RCE for Ruby apps. Not jinxing it.

So should I be running some anti-malware software on my macs now, and if so, what?

Nicolas (Kim Coppola) "Cage" is truly the Shakespeare of actors.

What a day to be a person on the internet.

This is the thought process that lead to me deciding to write about AI. I hate the conclusions I've drawn here.

Love it when you write a comprehensive commit message, and then a pre-commit hook or signing agent fails the commit? Me too. But it turns out the commit message is cached in `.git/COMMIT_EDITMSG`. Wish I knew this before rewriting it three times on Friday.

I know Nathan Fielder is a person and that's about it. Feeling OOTL. Why is the new doc so special? Saw the trailer and it looked just weird.

In the spirit of "writing more" but definitely also firmly in the "I don't know who this is aimed at other than myself." I found this useful, for me. schembri.me/writing/agen...

Being so uncool and unlikeable that you make flying cars seem lame is honestly quite a big flex.

Wrote about the tech guys chickening out and rejoining X, the distribution of power on social media, and why your voice matters so much jonas.do/writing/2026...

@glasnet.nl Didn't expect to see my ISP here, much less to read about @eurosky.social in your newsletter. Nice job!

I thought I had it bad with a new doctor pushing homeopathy. At the same time, a friend met with a psychiatrist who is full-on Alex Jones lizard people level of conspiracy crazy. Is it too much to ask for healthcare professionals with at least one foot in reality?

Today I have published part three of my Hanami, Why? series Hanami, Why?: Class Action, where we will dive into what makes Hanami actions awesome. https://aaronmallen.me/writing/hanami-why-class-action?ref=bluesky #ruby #hanami #hanakai

I love posting things here and not worrying about engagement or hearts. I love scrolling down my feed and seeing what people are up to in their lives, in their work and hobbies; enjoying a diverse stream of thoughts which don’t require my validation.

Watched Hellraiser (1987) for the first time. It was probably quite extreme for the time. Looks like it could go many ways delving into the lore in future releases. Charming and impressive makeup/effects. Movie doesn’t really hold up on its own though.

TIL vice grips are not made equal. I have a pair of generic ones and a pair of vintage US-made Vice Grips™. I figured they were basically the same, as they look. TL;DR: spent a very long time trying to remove some stripped and extremely tight screws, and only the vintage ones could do the job.

Friends: take a moment to sign european.social. There's strength in numbers and we can bring some game. This can become more than a letter.

I nearly went the other way until the dotfiles thing. Bitwarden is fine at worst.

Today I have published the first issue of "Hanami, why?". This is a new series I'm starting where we will dive in together to learn about #hanami. https://aaronmallen.me/writing/hanami-why-introductions #ruby #hanakai

Kimchi loves to chill under my chair when I'm working outside. Love this dog.

mu.social & Bluesky are not having a good time right now. But Blacksky's fine!
