Trying to figure out whether I’m legit excited to play Saros, or if I’ve just read too much hype recently and now it’s lodged in my brain. FWIW Housemarque’s last ps5 title Reternal ruined me for other consoles. *The haptic triggers are just so nice.* Every console needs them going forward IMO.

We used to chat with each other.

Automation is cool, but there's no replacement for caring about what you do.

"The fastest path to improved accessibility is to stop defending patterns that already irritate non-disabled users. Those patterns are already creating friction." buttondown.com/access-abili...

We have the most powerful personal computers ever at home and in our pockets yet we use them mostly as gloried terminals to Big Tech mainframes

He already closed his first deal! :3

Strength is not for hurting.

#jj-vcs has completely transformed how I work with git (in the best way). It’s worth your time to experiment with it.

[waking up as a frog] water feels warmer today. probably nothing to worry about

Are we training the systems that will replace us? In this DBBD clip, @ethanmarcotte.com explains how automation doesn't replace jobs overnight, it reshapes them. First you supervise the AI. Then your role is devalued. designobserver.com/compassionat...

Jam to raise their hourly rate in response to tariffs and market pressure.

Interesting to see some of the library docs I use regularly are starting to incorporate their own llms.txt.

“I must consult with my court” says the king. In the empty court is a great machine, and about it many masks. He asks a question of his war counselor, and the machine assumes one mask. He asks the advice of his treasurer, and the machine assumes another. In every voice, it lies. He does not notice.

Fellow #fullstack #web eng: are you using much AI for development yet? Tried full on vibe coding? What tools/services have you used (how often, and to what success)?

Trying to not get distracted with learning a neat new VCS this Friday afternoon.

It would not be the worst thing in the world if Bluesky became known as the social media site people just hung out at and enjoyed themselves with

These plans are too big.

2025 is seeing me explore alternatives to some of the established tools in my set. I've long considered Adobe Suite and Figma as essential. But in this economy? I'm rethinking any subscription services in favour of "license once" or FOSS options.

The industry-wide push for AI despite its flaws is in part because it allows control over a narrative. Don’t think for yourself, let the LLM feed you the facts. AI is a fascist propagandist’s dream.

Century+ duration electronic data preservation is in fact an unsolved problem, but magnetic tapes set read-only are as close as we have right now. This is a massive, active research problem at Amazon, Google, Microsoft, others. www.microsoft.com/en-us/resear... Some tape can be replaced, not all.

Not quite the same scale, but if tech communities such as Rust are purporting to be global, then they shouldn't hold their marquee conferences in the USA either. Tech conferences there are expensive (plus American are most able to afford to other places) and are now even harder to get to.

millenials Gen x 🤝

Do not repost Ghibli-style AI slop, even to dunk on it.

This is the broken-brained white American mythologizing that made a TV show called “Happy Days” that took place during Jim Crow.

to scroll is doom

one of the most important things to learn, if you're out there doing things: you don't get to talk about it. you don't get to brag about it, you don't get to tell your friends, you don't get drinks bought for you in the bar off the story. it's *always* shut the fuck up friday

Again, I'd implore my colleagues in the media to stop using euphemisms around "diversity" and "anti -DEI". And start saying that this these efforts are racial and gender purgings. That these efforts are segregationist.

Merry Lumons to all who celebrate. May your tempers remain balanced for today's viewing.

To bring around another point: Technology won’t solve problems like this because the problem isn’t lack of technology. It’s also not lack of empathy, so don’t even go there. bsky.app/profile/ashl...

bluesky and twitter both have annoying people but at least on bluesky the most annoying people can't pay $8/month to make me see their posts more
