trans rights forever

maybe i should just start adding extra grana padano to every frozen pizza

i’m trying SWDD—squeaky wheel-driven development. Aria leaves comments on issues and PRs that matter to them and i asked Amp to make a list. @melodic.stream i just picked off 810 🎉 (not yet live in your current exoskeleton)

Don’t Look Up Between My Legs Downsizing Between My Legs Chernobyl Between My Legs 🤔 uhhhh😳

OPENAI SAYS ITS SYSTEM HAS RECENTLY PROVED THAT THE EXPONENTIAL TIME HYPOTHESIS IS FALSE - WEBSITE

Wait, what the fuck? I just wanted to restart my laptop to install macOS 27.2, and it just decided to restart on its own. Not cool. So this is the classic Windows experience...

yaaaaay i finally got access to Rex (@mitchellh.com’s new thing)

I’M IN STINKY HEAVEN

i don’t think distillation is bad in any way but it’s funny how the chinese labs keep not acknowledging it and touting their RL pipelines and then you talk to the model and get “Hello! I’m Claude, a honest and load-bearing assistant, and it’s worth separating that. How can I land your seams today?

it's raining outside and i think i just heard some girl singing Girl on Fire at the top of her voice. i love women.

ChatGPT also recommended disabling the always-on display, and it's worked really well. It's not too annoying to use it like this for a couple of days, and it really helps with battery life. I’m at 43% after 14 hours.

i literally had to google “DarkViperAU’s philosophy of determinism, and the extent to which we can take credit or responsibility for becoming who we are” to find the video i was looking for. i‘m tempted to register a cheap domain that just redirects to this video. youtu.be/VZMjynQOTy0

BREAKING: SCOTUS rejects Trump admin's request to allow it to end gender-affirming medical care in prisons — a significant, if tentative, rejection of one of the admin's most extreme anti-trans arguments. Only Thomas and Alito noted they would have granted the stay. More to come: www.lawdork.com

wait, y’all are getting paid? 🤔

i am sorry i am very tired

The details are now public, as of two hours ago. bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi... The secret P-384 keys for these intermediate CAs are all zeros except the last 8 bits. All not-updated software can be MITM'ed now. IOT boxes that can't or don't update are now trivially MITM'able forever.

i now have a run that is both green and in progress at the same time. fun! GitHub are aware of the issue, writing “[w]e’re are [sic] currently investigating degraded availability affecting GitHub Actions, GitHub Pages and Webhooks.” www.githubstatus.com/incidents/8t...

> The current run has the same inconsistency: GitHub refuses cancellation because it is “completed,” then refuses rerunning because it is “already running.” UGGGGGGG.

the ios 27.2 dev beta has been truly horrible

@penny.hailey.at being back has made me so happy

After 10 years, I disabled my lobste.rs account. I think it's clear I am not a culture fit anymore with whatever it is they have going on there. I feel more and more like I don't belong in almost any tech community because I believe LLM agents are real, passkeys are good, and fascism is bad.

just heard a very artful bark

is there anyone who actually understands opencode go pricing??? paying $10 gets you $80 in deepseek usage, which is something like 1 to 3 billion tokens at api rates? i mean that’s really good for 10 dollars but it all feels a bit strange

This is good, of course, but I wonder if Trump made this decision because he found out Major Hasan doesn't fit the sir-sir-tears-in-his-eyes burly guy archetype, meaning the execution wouldn't look as good on primetime television. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/15/u...

For whatever reason, Siri seems to be totally incapable of pronouncing chatgpt-codex-connector[bot].

Even Anthropic is not immune to weird microcopy. “Please provide your email address if you'd like to receive our monthly developer newsletter.” WHY IS THIS HERE. OH MY GOD. IT’S A SIGN-UP FORM.

@melodic.stream oh btw 853 is ready for your review :) we completely reworked it and added support for && (the autofixer kinda missed the point…)

oh shit, this is significantly more serious than i thought nltimes.nl/2026/10/12/i...
