the problem with 'do cool shit and tell people about it' is telling people about it is so much more annoying than doing more cool shit

oh it's the oriel extension, huh!

Today we're officially sharing the "Introducing Patchwork-26" video from Lab Day at this year's @localfirstconf.com We bring you the first look at Patchwork-26, the latest in our ongoing effort to realize Malleable Software, Universal Version Control, and Local-First Software.

@ciblesgd.tv Given you're still using KDE Plasma iirc, thought you'd like to know my online buddy WackyIdeas (the AeroThemePlasma guy) made a KWin Effect that optionally adds The Roaring Knight's trails effect to the cursor. github.com/WackyIdeas/k... Also own plush but haven't taken it out yet. 🔥

At #SIGGRAPH2026, I presented "points as tori" (PAT) for fast pointwise evaluation of signed distance for point clouds. Some code (Python w/ C++ extensions) and demo up: github.com/nzfeng/point... Contributions from people/LLMs welcome. Explainer thread below for the project: 🧵

We can learn important things about VR headset use by looking at laptops, glasses, and cameras. www.goodvirtualreality.com/p/lessons-in...

ok this is so cool. this LED manufacturer designed maybe the coolest demo brochure possible for their COB LEDs, its a ringed binder where each of the pages is a PCB that you plug in and can control via touch to toggle which strips are on 🤯 #electronics

I think this may have just solved a big issue with spatial UX I'd been having, that being how do you identify things without reading a ton of text? this generator has enough variation to make each one have a unique identity that isn't homogenous or otherwise semantically attached!!!!!

we're still alive!!! been working on the design style with gsplats (nebula design) and porting the whole thing to binder so programs can talk to each other :)

Just like last year, we replaced a whole wall of movie posters with our own punny movie posters at the cinema where RustWeek 2026 took place. I designed seven new posters for this year's event. See the thread below 👇

This is what it feels like to be in Resonite. I commissioned this art piece years ago from @tigerknight.com and it's still one of my favorites. It captures the wonder and exploration in VR.

Remote attestation is a heavily underdiscussed threat to computing freedom. People often mistakenly dismiss it with "I will run my own fork (of the OS or browser) / Magisk", not understanding that with hardware attestation, you're literally unable to 1/

Incidentally this is a great adage for both politics *and* UX!

Introducing bab-hash.org. A cute little website about a family of hashing functions designed for partial data verification in peer-to-peer systems. You can learn what it does, how to use the Rust implementation, and read its specification (with interactive diagrams, ofc).

happy friday, my floppy friends #floppydisk

I've noticed that people always care more about a tangible thing than abstract, I don't think it's being dumb or anything but just a thing to account for in design

If you want to be a better engineer, you need to take estrogen. Every 10x dev I know is on E. The mass Rust migration? E. Your favorite open source maintainer? On E. The girl using NixOS on a ThinkPad from 2012 who rewrote your entire infra in a weekend? On E. Stay competitive or get left behind.

Did some math to analyze object motion localized within specific areas. Accounts for angular velocity as well as linear velocity. This is gonna be useful for many things in the game. #GodotEngine #gamedev #indiedev

@koizumitv.bsky.social i was the person asking about your avatar on stream yesterday!! thanks for your help, and here's a pic of it, modded heavily (importing into vrchat is gonna take time tho)

Servo 0.1.0 is out! 🚀 This is our first release available in crates.io and our first LTS version servo.org/blog/2026/04...

machinehood is a spectrum

something that's been bugging me the whole way through the llm psychosis news arc is the realization that most people can hear "you're right" and not immediately think "but what if i am not"; that adversarial metacognition is not only atypical, but foreign enough to register as innovation

Whether AI security vectors are hypothetical or just hype, New threats require familiar solutions. Secure your code with Project SugarGlass™

There are ways to turn off notifications from Signal, or at least making it so the message content isn't visible in your notifications. @evystadium.bsky.social has more. Read the story by @josephcox.bsky.social now: www.404media.co/fbi-extracts...

Proud to have had a hand in making this happen. Adding visibility to what is supported in middleware helps move the standard forward and give much needed clarity to developers.

The classic Oxygen theme back is (halfway) back on Plasma Tastefully colorful icons, shadows, transparencies and shiny buttons are all part of the spectacular reimagined themes Air and Oxygen being painstakingly reconstructed from scratch by the designers. filipfila.wordpress.com/2026/04/05/h...

Oh my god.

Just got the new Windows 11 April 2026 Update installed, wth is this Microslop?! 🤮

1 year ago i invented this whole thing, and gaussian splats totally took off in that time!!! i've so gotta get back on the horse and explore this more... been so busy with the tech side but i wanna make the art/design side amazing too!!!

In gamedev the adage goes, "When the players tell you something is wrong with your game, they are almost always right. When they tell you how to fix it, they are almost always wrong."

We must not let this spread. Rustaceans, time to post some crabs 🦀 🦀 🦀

delighted that data visualization has gotten easy enough to produce that people are basically starting to communicate in qualia

This is Microsoft's plan to fix Windows 11:

this is stockholm syndrome.

Yep! I sure did!

I absolutely agree. The desire to shove a touchscreen into everything (I love TNG but I think it's partly its fault) is an absolute fucking sin and a real crime. vt.tiktok.com/ZSu9YBJL7/

A distilled love of technology in the purest sense. Every computer kid has been there.
