I've been relearning gleam and trying to learn atproto (beyond just the high-level concepts) by trying my hand at writing a PDS and its so much! and the specs can be so vague! (I'm not very far along, I've got like, a mostly working CAR parser)
Technology is cool, too bad they made it evil

It’s taken a while to put into words what I find so distasteful about AI in type design (even — especially — the ‘boring parts’). It’s not the threat of being put out of a job. Some thoughts: mass-driver.com/article/from...

I dream of quieter computing

You’ll miss the soul when it’s gone
Pretty grim day of news in the industry today, with Salma Alam-Naylor stepping away from developer relations work permanently, Josh Comeau taking a sabbatical from making courses and GSAP’s once-vibrant forums descending into a ghost town. The reason your token guzzler “produces” anything that could be described as “good” is because of the years of […]

Fuck the fascists, the homophobes, the transphobes, and those who carry water for them. 💜🖤💜
web dev has completely failed users with poor connectivity. an incredibly common scenario that is often when a person needs connectivity the most.
Fix your hearts or die. You know how many of us joke that Pride month should be followed by Wrath? This year I feel a deep, burning fury towards all who use transgender lives as political propaganda. We are human beings. You cannot erase us. Happy Pride. Trans liberation at any cost. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
fuck the supreme court and love to all my trans friends. we all gotta live to see the day that this system crumbles

As of today I'm beginning to work on the design for my personal site! I'm still working through Mindful Design but I think I've got a solid enough foundation
Lynda Barry did not squeeze your heart and simultaneously explain the point of all art with the barest of line drawings so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable."
Olivia Hill@machineiv.bsky.social · last mo.Sam Raimi didn't strap a Super 8 camera to a 2x4 so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable."

What the fuck is it good for? Im asking sincerely. Medical people say its shit for diagnosing, its utter garbage for creative fields, it cannot teach and hallucinates false answers, programmers have to fix its code half the time, businesses find it doesn't help productivity and it causes psychosis.
Michael Nabert@sustainablesong.bsky.social · 2mo agoResearch confirms that the more skilled professionals like doctors and software engineers rely on AI, the more their skills degrade. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
