In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi. He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael. At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk. Wael died on Friday at age 30. ICE caused his death. They didn’t get to say goodbye.

Hey slightly serious post, please share if you can: if you are a #software developer in the #Australia area and are looking for a #tech job, please reach out to me.

crazy that this is happening in a country which a) bans social media for u16s and b) blocks access to The Pirate Bay
Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation. I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.
The US is a rogue state. We need to be out of AUKUS immediately.
This is an excellent piece. Having your own website is such a wonderful act of defiance these days.
henry ✷@strange.website · 8mo agoyou’re right! it feels mostly awful to Go Online™, these days. the internet in a sad state, for reason after reason after reason. but there is a way to fix it; to trade the voidful howling for a quiet & joyful song. here’s how to win the war for the soul of the internet, and build the Web We Want.
We have come full circle from "of course we only use AI for prototypes" over "AI is amazing but obviously it needs experts checking on the output and extensive refacoring" to "let's just ship the slop".
852dude@852dude.bsky.social · 8mo agoCan't wait for the loosened up, non-perfect, but quickly shipped AI-enhanced updates to hit my banking and insurance services next year. Im sure there will be no issues there at all.
As a very long time vim user, I’ve had to embrace an IDE at work, and while there’s a lot to like, holy shit I spend a lot of time massaging the IDE’s pathologies.

Could all the American influencers pushing in tandem for more guns in Australian just Fuck. The. Hell. Off. Thank you.
This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites. The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.
Press conference beginning now. 12 deaths plus one of the shooters. "This attack was designed to target Sydney's Jewish community on the first night of Hanukkah... this attack is being designated as a terrorism event." there you have it.
Liz Fong-Jones (方禮真)@lizthegrey.com · 9mo agoI believe the news here are waiting for the NSW Premier's press conference to confirm what we all already have a sickening knowledge of.
This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.
More Perfect Union@moreperfectunion.bsky.social · 9mo agoJimmy Fallon: "And do you use ChatGPT when raising your baby?" Sam Altman: "I cannot imagine figuring out how to raise a newborn without ChatGPT."

This is who she was. Passionate in her beliefs. Fiercely loyal to her friends. Never afraid to let you know exactly where she stood. The best. Fun Fact: I remember arguing with her over which of us hated Piggy the most. I was sure I did. She disagreed. It remains unresolved...

I effectively grew up on games developed by id Software. But I'm happy as fuck that somewhere in my late 20s I swapped from idolising John Carmack for tech reasons, to John Romero for simply being a better person.
Putting my phone away before the gig starts, but let’s fucking go 🤘
RIP to a games industry pioneer and legend, Rebecca Heineman (@burgerbecky.bsky.social) If your unfamiliar, look her up. Her career is like the story of videogames itself.
