My #foryou feed is now dominated by #anticar talk and I couldn't be happier.

God, we need this in London. No more prioritising cars over people.

I don't need your respect. I have the respect of the Mantis Lords.

Having mainly used #Next.js for the last couple of years I took at stab @solidjs.com for a client project and it's like finally leaving a bad relationship and meeting someone who actually makes you happy. #buildinpublic

@bsky.app you gotta up the expiry time on these app permissions. I'm signing in every time I open it!

I've been using @kagi.com for about a month now and what I love is not suffering the endless attempts to trick me into buying tangentially related tat to my search. How novel! Plus the small web viewer is delightful. I am hoping Orion does come to Linux one day though...

imagine how much more appealing Bluesky could be to people all over the world if it could fix this single problem

I recently unarchived the very first novel I ever wrote and I thought I would publicly shame myself by analysing how terrible it is, starting with the completely unnecessary Prologue. #WritingCommunity myterriblefirstnovel.leaflet.pub/3m2c5etdrt22a

Bluesky needs trending topics by country.

I've become obsessed with SVGs and this guide is the best I've seen explaining how to use the <path> element

#CSS #Tailwind experts, I need your help! I'm completely stumped about how to achieve this effect where the 'title' and the main content box share a border. Do I somehow need to clip the bottom of the title's border to hide it...? #buildinpublic

Great read from @leerob.com leerob.com/reflections

Over the last couple of days I've switched from vscode to @zed.dev and the difference in performance is astounding. Never again will I have to wait for vscode to do whatever it was doing to save a file.

God, I love #Berlin.

I've been trying to articulate why the fawning, complimentary responses from AI chatbots feel so insidious to me. I've finally figured out how to explain it. Wrote a long piece on how current model training and design choices threaten our critical thinking skills: maggieappleton.com/ai-enlighten...

@bmann.ca once told me "Self hosting is selfish", it struck a nerve and I instantly knew he was right. The priesthood of programmers cannot save the internet with our private gated co-los and suburban home servers. This is a beautiful synopsis of why: We're still thinking feudal terms.

'docker compose up -d' is the real anti-capitalist clarion call.

I'd really like to try the @fairphone.com 6 but my current Pixel 8 Pro is still chugging along quite happily. When it eventually breaks though...

Puzzle #753 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 The true endgame of #Connections is figuring out the author's intended difficulty order for the categories which in turn reveals something about your inner psyche.

I finished all of #TheExpanse novels and novellas and now I don't know what to do with my life. What's another great space opera you'd recommend? #booksky #scifi

I wish more companies would follow the @coolify.io or @penpot.app business model of self-host or pay to let them handle it for you. The model respects your skill or your time (or both).

Last time there was the lie of WMDs. They're not even bothering with an excuse this time.

I tried to make a fairy out of clay. It wasn't going well and out came this guy. I hid him in the woods to confuse people.

ITS HAPPENING Firefox 127 shipped today making it the first browser to support Temporal - the new API for working with Dates, times, timezones + durations

My son and I are growing tomato plants from seeds. We put them out as they're no longer saplings and the final frost seems to have passed. Hopefully we'll have more tomatoes than we know what to do with. 🍅

@nornoe.bsky.social you are now the moon.

I love this.

I'm a complete self-hosting convert. I want to self-host everything. Setting cron jobs for podcast downloads is my new thing.

Been annoyed by web fonts for a while. They’re big and they were connecting my blog to Google. I stumbled on modernfontstacks.com earlier today and now I’ve ditched my web fonts in favour of these. ~140kb shaved off the first load of my site. First impressions matter.

I just Googled 'Books about millennials in the UK' and the first thing I got served was Tim Minchin's book, 'You don't have to have a dream'. Seems about right.

Spent the night setting up #Audiobookshelf on an old #RaspberryPi using a dodgy usb as extra storage and it was the most fun I've had in ages. Got all my audiobooks (and podcasts) out of their moated dungeons.
