I don't think it's because it's "considered déclassé". Some people have disabled their alarm years ago, because an alarm isnt useful if it's ringing all the time. The rest haven't even had an alarm to begin with, or just really like the sound of it.

This post is so useful and wise that I've been referencing it for over 20 years. slashdot.org/comments.pl?...

the story goes like this

Meta took down the No Kings instagram; TikTok banned the Musk documentary account for supposedly violating its political posting policies. A reminder that platforms are owned by the wealthiest of people, control the means of media distribution, & put their thumbs on the democracy scale as they wish

What do you want us to work on in 2027? Here's a web app where you can rank the Interop proposals you care about, giving us data we can use to prioritise feature development. interop-rank.fxdx.dev

I've been trying to articulate this in a way which doesn't sound judgmental, and apparently that sounds like a fortune cookie. But seriously, a question I ask a lot is "If I get used to this new system, what problems am I signing up for when I'm inevitably rug pulled?" and it's served me quite well

can those AI guys hurry up and decomp premiere pro or something useful instead of putting tony hawk in every ps1 game

I know this is just a "one or two feldspars" thing but I am truly surprised how many people are encountering physicalism for the first time. I thought everybody had that existential freakout as a teenager and then integrated it.

So many people do not get this. Atproto identity is the closest thing to original-flavor OpenID that has been done in years. It's not OpenID (it has problems OpenID didn't and solves problems OpenID had), but it's very much in that spirit.

Digital Ocean ended their $50/month sponsorship of GNOME and FlatHub and went radio silent on CSS-Tricks right around the time they found a spare three million dollars to burn on “sponsoring” a high-profile racist’s dotfiles repo. Impossible to see this as anything but a statement of their values.

I tell you, the match between #atproto and open academic publishing is made in heaven. If we have learned anything from the for-profit-publishing, AI slop, and Twitter/X polycrisis, the future of academic publishing is decentralized eprints on #atproto, an it may well begin right here.

I despise AI companies and their goals. I am deeply passionate about climate action, and I weigh any positives that AI can bring against the critical need for us to save our planet right now. I am passionate about music and art, and I do not want it gone forever. But I am also not a dick about it!

@thisismissem.social @divy.zone and I recently went through an exploration of how the browser can help you login to websites with atproto accounts. We recently presented to the FedID CG and here is a sneak peek in case you couldn't join! This is early but we'd love your input before we go too far!

The richest man owns X. The second and fourth richest men control Google. The third richest man owns The Washington Post. The sixth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the seventh richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

You don’t win an argument about definitions. You agree on definitions so that you can even have an argument

@carllerche.com Hey, I’ve been building a crate for typed representations of HTTP headers, and I saw that you own the http_headers crate on crates.io. Since it hasn’t been updated since 2014, would you be willing to transfer it to me? Here's what I intend to publish: codeberg.org/moritzruth/h...

(I drive an entirely solar powered car, as does my wife. Nothing fancy, just at home charging during daytime with a massive solar array.) It *does* suck that those misapprehensions muddy important conversations about this tech, of course, but it’s just another situation of people confidently

Great article if you are trying to appeal to people who don't eat food.

When you have a group assignment and literally your entire grade relies on these people. @joshruben.bsky.social

great choice by rust to rename "object safety" to the much more intuitive "dyn compatibility (previously known as object safety)"

I'll never forgive whoever decided a "3x4 matrix" has a width of 4 and a height of 3, instead of the other way around

I promise I will shut up about Codeberg after this :) lucumr.pocoo.org/2026/7/24/co...

yes[1] [1] but please still design these as asynchronous operations that have corresponding "load state" affordances for the cases where it do truly do be sluggish for unforeseen reasons, ie. Don't Do An Apple

also, this is true for most software we could live in a world that simply does not have loading bars or wait times for most actions, and yet we're still here

Talking an LLM into writing code, however, is a lot more like attending a bunch of meetings. Voice input makes it so much more efficient: you're thinking out loud, refining the scope, examining options, comparing reports, vetting design proposals... it's a completely different job...

I've seen the divide between "liked the craft" vs "liked the outcome" discussed a lot but less so the communication styles. Writing code is an art form. There is a transfer happening from the developer's mind into the program but the program is built deliberately, carefully, like a model train set.

I resigned from Google DeepMind bc it broke its founding promise by selling AI to the military without restrictions against killer robots or mass spying. For months, I worked to stop this but watched powerful ethicists and institutions choose silence. Here's what happened. 🧵
