I just love these useless status pages. Feedly has been down for over 1,5 hour at this point, but it seems they don't know it themselves. @feedly.com

So...brown, fizzy water?

PSA: Bluesky's new auto-tagging moderation stuff is a disaster. Disable it. Go into Settings on the Bluesky site and enable adult content and set everything to Warn at most, which makes posts opt-in. Hide just vanishes posts. Then go into Advanced/Bluesky Mod Service and do the same on everything.

I use #GitHub #Copilot for my #dotnet projects. And I have setup the csharp LSP server via the Awesome Copilot skill, but Copilot doesn't use it (that I can see). Testing the LSP succeeds, so it works. How can I make Copilot use it? Anyone have an idea? /cc @github.com

Wat is de #ING bank slecht geworden qua service. Kan geen mens te spreken krijgen. De chat wordt abrupt afgesloten als de medewerker vind dat het klaar is. En een klacht indienen via de app werkt niet. "Gaat iets mis". Update en reinstall doet niets. Staat vast mooi in de rapportages, "0 klachten".

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series

Adam Baldwin was literally *the* guy who named GamerGate and made it go viral. It was just some loser 4chan/incel YouTuber shit before then. They spammed him to get his attention because they knew he’s also a psycho loser and they wanted to make it go viral, and he did it. And it worked.

Why is #Confluence cloud setup like a social network? I don't care some colleague just read my page for the first time. No, I'm not interested in recommended pages, because I read a page about an internal process. It's so stupid.

I need to replace an existing Java WS with a dotnet version. I didn't build the original, so I asked #CoPilot (#Claude) to give me an overview of the APIs in the WS. It produced a correct looking list. But on further inspection it made up APIs and forgot others. But yeah, #AI going to replace devs.

#SpiritBox performing Soft Spine at the #Grammys, priceless. #IfYouKnowYouKnow

Every state where the leader is seen as the ultimate power instead of the ultimate responsibility is fucked.

Currently in #SupportHell where I'm trying to do something but I keep getting HTTP 429 errors due to some stuck DDOS protection, and all the support person keeps doing is sending me to KB articles on how to use their website or how the clear my browser cache. This isn't going to end well, is it?

@proton.me I'm looking into get a Proton sub for me and my wife. I want the be less reliant on big US tech companies. However, the only payment options you support are still from big US firms (Mastercard, Paypal and Google). Why no iDeal/Wero support?

"international law must be followed" is european for "thoughts and prayers"

@ec.europa.eu I know some commission is investigating X for breaking DSA rules, but are they also looking into how X has a built-in feature to generate CSAM? (Can't link to the message directly unfortunately, it's disabled but the author)

This does seem just a little bit bad! Idk the sort of thing you’d think politicians might distance themselves from or something!

still early days. but here is my attempt to implement a mermaid diagram renderer in .net github.com/SimonCropp/N...

Seriously, anytime I get the feeling there might be something to these #AI coding tools, they do something so stupid I'm assured they will never replace actual programmers. Asked #Copilot to update a unit-test. Works fine. Asked it to add two new unit-tests, it deletes all existing unit-tests. What?

I'm in a large toy store. They have #Nintendo #Switch (2) and #Sony #Playstation. Then somewhere in the corner a few #XBox games, that's it. Just a stack of 20 or so. No hardware, nothing. Pretty sure XBox is done for.

How it started vs How it’s going (vibe coding edition)

One thing I did notice in tonight's #GameAwards is that the director *really* loved @benstarr.bsky.social, @aliona.bsky.social and Jennifer English. I think more than half of the "crowd" shots were of these three 😄

It dawned on me that #MCP is the worst possible way to connect apps together. Instead of a simple, efficient, LOCAL protocol, we get a one connected through an algorithm that requires climate destroying levels of power, is a CISO's worst nightmare and has to share all the data with its supplier.

Spiritbox topped my year. Here’s how I listened in my #SpotifyWrapped. www.spotify.com/wrapped-shar... Apparently I'm in the top 0.5% of #Spiritbox listeners. What can I say? It's a good band 😄

Did #Microsoft just break Outlook Web Access? It doesn't load due to CSP violations, and it can't report the violations due to gateway timeouts on the reporting endpoint.

Setting up a PSN account for my son. Everything seems to be in order, just need to choose an OnlineID and WHAT

*Sees headline about a cool new MMO* Cool, let's see what that is about. *Sees it's going to be free-to-play* *Closes browser tab* Never mind.

With #Microsoft giving up on #Xbox, this move by #Valve seems incredibly well timed. www.eurogamer.net/tech-valve-a...

Why does Youtube now use this weird extra wide format fir music videos? It's cropping the top off from the videos. I would love it if Google would just stop fucking with their services for the sake of fucking with them. #YouTube

The Godot 2025 showreel is out! We're so grateful for every submission, vote, and support from our community 💙 www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZwE...

Figured I give #passkeys another go. They've been out for a while now, surely things have improved since the last time. Except, they have not. I use #1Password. Sometimes my browser can get the passkey, other times it can't. Same for my Android phone. Sometimes it works, but mostly it doesn't.

Ever since I did some small things in Typescript and discovered how useful discriminated unions are I really miss not having them in dotnet. People have been asking for this for years, but it gets pushed every single time it seems 😕 #DotNet #Programming

Today is election day in the Netherlands. And one fun side effect of our particular election system is the comically large ballots. That is a photo of the actual ballot you take into the stall with you to cast your vote. #Elections #TweedeKamerVerkiezingen

When editing a destructive command on the command line, the backspace button is precariously close to the enter button...

Let me tell you a story (before the ship explodes):

A while ago I started blocking bigots on Steam. Whenever I was on the forums of a game and someone would ask if the game was "woke", or complain it was "woke", or similar things, I'd just block them. I feel like I'll soon discover if there is a limit to the number of accounts you can block 😔

A good friend has submitted this brilliant model of the library from Buffy to Lego Ideas. I’d be very grateful for your help in getting her to 5k supporters: beta.ideas.lego.com/product-idea...

This was a great read. No idea how to get on top of this, perhaps pulling random people away from keyboards? Who knows! techtrenches.substack.com/p/the-great-...

So, @dexbonus.co.uk did you see the newest warframe that was announced for @warframe.com ?

Is it me, or did #YouTube get even worse recently? I see fewer and fewer videos I'm interested in being recommended. And I see a lot of duplicate videos being recommended on the same page. I'm starting to feel the premium subscription is not really worth it anymore.

I've seen people liken the rise of AI to the rise of the internet. I agree. When internet was new, it was added without any concern for safety or security. The new AI boom is exactly the same.
