Another 🔥-talk by Scott Jenson on things we could change in desktop UX. I especially liked the clipboard-like thing that remembers where that copy came from, I can see myself using it as anchors to jump back to when doing research. https://youtu.be/-IOLRcFC6OY?si=jk5g9Lk1Bbl_Kn0_

Agree with @jamellebouie.net that it's pretty clear Elon Musk wanted to eviscerate USAID *for the purpose of killing as many African people as possible.* Mass death wasn't an accidental byproduct of his "deep state" paranoia; it was a key mission of DOGE. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/29/o...
Would assume everyone knows it by now, but just in case "First the traitors, then the invaders" is an explicit reference to The Turner Diaries, where a white supremacist revolution overruns "The System" and kills all their enemy during the evocatively named "Day of the Rope".

Sunder Katwala (sundersays)@sundersays.bsky.social · last mo.X owner Elon Musk indicates he would prioritise political violence (assassination of pro-migration politicians is the common sense meaning) over violence against "invaders" (refugees, asylum seekers, maybe ethnic minorities generally) while endorsing call for violence (killing) against both groups

Something big might happen to the Kotlin Multiplatform Ecosystem 👀 We were never too happy about how Kotlin publishes and resolves KMP libraries. It takes up significantly more space than it has to, produces a ton of artifacts and Maven modules, and is just... complex!
What do we want? More DRM-free games with good stories! When do we want them? NOW! Echoes of the End is now available on GOG🥳 https://bit.ly/echoesend
How does KMP help when your app works with real hardware? In Sony Sound Connect, Sony uses KMP to share logic for hardware-driven features, keeps Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and background execution platform-specific, and uses Compose Multiplatform for the UI. Learn more 👇 https://kotl.in/swyiuq

Maybe this hasn’t sunk in for anyone who should care but the NHS was birthed when the UK *literally had negative money*. The USA had razed us of every penny to pay for weapons to defend ourselves against Germany, Germany had bombed all our industrial sites. We still did it in 6 months. 6.
Amnesty International UK@amnestyuk.bsky.social · last mo.The NHS was founded 78 years ago today. It was built after the devastation of the Second World War when the country was bankrupt - but when the people demanded a society built on fairness and dignity for all. Today, we must defend the right to healthcare and rebuild our social security system.
I cringe at the train coming at me in movies. I have never watched a train that was actually imperative to the story. It always makes me feel like the producer is trying to run me over with the train

AS PER MY PREVIOUS years of pointing this out would happen: the age verification sector is now behaving as privatised law enforcement, based on the user’s mere use of a non-big tech privacy-centric OS and not any actual offense committed. I get to name this, so let’s call it “grassware”.

I well recall the online debates where the majority of debaters opined that zero traffic deaths is an utopian goal and would require methods that would kill Helsinki, if not bring about totalitarian communism
Brent Toderian@brenttoderian.bsky.social · 3mo ago“Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas and city center in 2021.”
I’ll just reiterate that the entire concept of ‘bubbles’ is a right-wing talking point invented to try to make people feel bad for not wanting to be incessantly exposed to right-wing horseshit. it’s the same as the whining about people not wanting to date them

Why every American family should have an e-bike at home
Why every American family should have an e-bike at home
There’s a sentence that still sounds slightly radical in much of America, even though millions of people elsewhere in the world would barely think twice about it: Every family should own an e-bike. Sure, not every person and not every trip. Maybe not even as a complete replacement for cars. But as a standard household tool? Absolutely! more…
