seeing the AI fatigue hit mainstream is exceptionally satisfying can’t wait for 1-2 years from now when “no AI” is a genuine selling point

this world is a prison

There aren't a ton of video game industry CEOs as beloved as Insomniac's Ted Price, who announced his retirement today: https://sonyinteractive.com/en/news/blog/ted-price-announces-retirement/

Attention furries, weebs, neckbeards, and other cringe enthusiasts of kubernetes: I've ordered more Uwubernetes stickers, and they should be here in time for FOSDEM.

There are about 4 labelers and none of them work 100% of the time. I'm subscribed to all 4 and STILL get pictures missing alt text. Not sure if there's something that stops labelers from catching this properly or what, but it's something the app should have natively for accessibility anyway

Bluesky would be 3 times better if there was an option to not show posts with media that lack alt text

Reusable, composable, single responsibility — these are all things good SaaS products have in common with UNIX command line tools.

Enterprise sales don't have to be crazy.

Logged on after a purposeful day of not watching the news, logging off now after seeing the trash fire it was always gonna be. For the next 4 years, I'm going to try to focus on helping my local community and orgs. It's the best thing I can think to do in the face of... all of this.

Who made this 🤣

A PR of mine was accepted into go-wasm-http-server (https://github.com/nlepage/go-wasm-http-server) that makes it #TinyGo compatible! Now your Go webservers can be built into tiny WASM blobs and run in ServiceWorkers 🥳

I spent the 2017 US Presidential inauguration working in a small open plan office, where someone put it on the TV to then loudly talk about it. I’m very glad I work from home now, and can avoid it today.

When people like this talk about WFH damaging productivity, they’ve clearly not worked in an open office for a while https://www.theguardian.com/business/2025/jan/20/working-from-home-not-doing-proper-work-stuart-rose

The EU should demand that American Big Tech sell their assets to European companies. They can’t be trusted to not manipulate the data for propaganda reasons. Not doing so is a national security risk. Am I doing this right?

China having my data can’t be used in American courts Even with nothing to hide I’ve learned that data, motivation, and power can ruin lives

I had very few concerns using TikTok while it was owned by ByteDance I have a lot of concerns if it's owned in total or part by a US company

I would say that the US is moving into "the law doesn't matter, only the President's whim matters" territory faster than I expected, but this is about on schedule.

Human nature being what it is, it seems extremely likely that sometime today we will see millions of U.S.-based TikTok users installing some shady or "free" VPN software just to get around the ban. So even though we banned TikTok, ostensibly for security reasons, we end up creating an even bigger security problem when millions of people install some app that can read and modify all traffic.
