hello from skyspace!

Contribute to Gleam, you too can delete code I wrote in 2018

I don’t care if you like its cultural output. The BBC has been a major player in the immiseration of this country, in the persecution of trans people, immigrants, muslims, travellers and disabled people, in the spread of dangerous rhetoric about climate change and vaccines. It must be dismantled.

please nobody fill this out. some folks are suspicious that its from the dept of geography, but the suspicious part is there is no information sheet on who the researcher is or the purpose/use of the data collected. no ethics committee would allow this not least cambridge. please dont fill it out

I know I'm nearly two years late to the repost and six years to the original, but this is one of the funniest things I've read on the internet

Happy Labor Day! Today we're bringing you The First Union, as told by HBomberguy (@hbomberguy.bsky.social) and illustrated by Skutch (@skutchdraws.bsky.social) It's the dawn of the industrial revolution, and of the way many of us work... Have you ever heard of the term "Luddite" from an elder?

Gleam v1.19 introduces Gleam's new macro system, based on the one found in microsoft excel!

What's happening to trans rights in Britain is more chilling than what's happening in the US. In the US there's an ecosystem of zealotry. The people dismantling trans rights openly lie, not just about trans people but about a whole host of things. For them to dismantle human rights feels natural.

I love when I look at my watch and it says 13:12, solidarity with my casio ✊

no matter what font or logo generator is used, it always looks good as hell

I just watched adef's balatro game at this year's SGDQ, it very much has the latter vibes (except the girlfriend bit sadly) and might just be the most exciting speedrun I've ever seen youtu.be/A7Go7IXlYLg

let's find out if there's a "people who screenshot their notifications when added to a list of people who screenshot their notifications" list

hell yeah, I'm wrong about all the things!

🚨 WE NEED YOU 🚨 As a new Prime Minister comes into power, we want to show that an overwhelming number of people support trans people, and want the government to take serious action to protect their rights. Will you say you stand with trans people? And share with everyone you know?

I have four golden berries in celeste now, and I fear that I may not be able to stop until I've got 201 (there is no 202nd berry, shush)

two chess engine talk videos published within 24 hours! I love the contrast between @asteri.sm doing absolutely wild things to make a cutting edge engine, and us gleamlins bumbling around trying to make them without u64s :) great work to @gearsco.de though, awesome talk! youtu.be/D_HaX_O1TAo

there’s now a publicly-available recording of our RustWeek talk. it went extremely well, and I’m very proud of our work on it. talk is viewable @ youtu.be/Gx21yYLwn10 slides are hosted @ asteri.sm/assets/pdfs/...

this is fucking horrifying

this is already an excellent talk in its own right, but the hand drawn slide animations are blowing my mind

The rainbow is here all year long, so we don't need to change the profile for June. But it is a good time to remind everyone that LGBTQIA+ rights are under attack all year long as well. And to steal @haskell.org's message: there would be no Gleam without trans people 🩵🩷🤍

The past years have seen horrendous attacks towards trans people. We have a duty to protect the most vulnerable members of our communities. There is no Haskell without the trans people who have shaped it through the years. This June is a month of celebrations, but the struggle continues. ✊🏳️‍⚧️λ

I like bluesky because it feels so much like tumblr 1. barely works 2. userbase is annoying (affectionate)(not that affectionate) 3. being queer on here feels like I’m actively participating in ruining some tech company’s investment

Scottish Labour manifesto is out, don’t vote for them

joining in the soupposting

What I have frequently heard programmers say over the years: (1996) "Lines of Code" is a terrible metric (2006) "Lines of Code" is a terrible metric (2016) "Lines of Code added" is a terrible metric (2026) I have to use AI because it's the only way to meet my company's "Lines of Code added" quota

so AI is supposed to revolutionize every single aspect of the reality as we know it, but it's something we shouldn't rely on for anything serious or important cause it's so fucking unreliable, do I get that right my dude ?

This is the face of a lunar scientist who has just been told that the #Artemis II crew saw SEVERAL impact flashes (the flashes when meteors hit the lunar surface) in real time 😃 🌓💥

downloaded axios and now I see this, what do I do

This is my trans agenda

I’ve posted it before, but it feels evergreen The two hardest problems in Computer Science are 1. Human communication 2. Getting people in tech to believe that human communication is important

@cassidoo.co figured I'd have a crack at your interview question :) git.sr.ht/~lucymcphail...

Happy International Transgender Day of Visibility! We're everywhere and we're cool. Here's the trans pride flag 🏳️‍⚧️ on a mid-90s Pentium running DOS.

really neat tesuji from a game I just played, black to play and save that clump of stones (crossing my fingers that bluesky decides to show this to my three followers who play go)

I made a papercraft just for this

yeah i separate art from the artist. i put the harry potter books in the recycling and jk rowling in the trash.

With the HP trailer dropping tomorrow, here's the whole deal: If you watch the show, hell even just the trailer, I will think less of you. I will dislike you. I will think you don't care about trans people. That's it. It's been years. There's no wiggle room. No qualifiers. You care or you don't.

Begging cis people not to press the button that makes children kill themselves. “But it’s such a pretty button,” they protest, sweat pouring down their face from the effort of not pushing it. “It looks like so much fun to press.” Dead children, we remind them. “...what kind of children?” they ask.

Pigeon milk.

DOOM fully rendered in CSS. Every surface is a <div> that has a background image, with a clipping path with 3D transforms applied. Of course CSS does not have a movable camera, so we rotate and translate the scene around the user.

.shell-command::before { content: "$"; } This one simple trick allows you to have shell commands in your website without forcing the user to copy the "$"!!1!11!! please use it
