Ruby on Rails developer, Lil Regie, meetup.com/aucklandruby, way too many tabs and little to no time.
doubly infuriating that AI boosters claim it "democratizes" mediums when, in reality, hardware—one of the most powerful tools at our disposal in modern society—is being taken away from normal people by the wealthy
"You shouldn't punish me for entirely nonexistent citations because I haven't read the real ones either" is not the sparkling defence of your ethics that you think it is.
I wish GitHub had a feature where I can show that I am actively reviewing something, I just haven't hit submit yet.
Long story short, I loved the whole "if GitHub was made by…" meme so much that I made ifgithubwasmadeby.xyz - a place where you can browse almost all of them. Updates daily.

AI writing is like store-bought cake. It might be perfectly fine, maybe even as good as something you could make yourself, but it’s weird to give it to someone and say it’s homemade
Today (25 years later!) you can put a thing in your pocket that can access your entire music collection that's stored in a datacenter the size of several city blocks and you must pay rent to your cell phone provider and to your music datacenter landlord to access it! Now that's called progress!
Did you know you can put your entire music collection into your pocket?! ikr
Goldman to Lyons: "You said in your opening statement that references to ICE as 'the Gestapo' or 'secret police' encourages threats against ICE agents. The problem is you have it backwards. People are simply making valid observations about your tactics, which are un-American and outright fascist."
As soon as Trump’s friends bought controlling stakes in TikTok, censorship against mentions of “Epstein” was immediately introduced for U.S. users. Another example of the “free speech” of the “right”.
Open the article on desktop/laptop. Now resize the window. This is 2010 technology. In 2025, instead, we get a popup that takes up 1/3 of the screen and says "this website looks better on the app."

Spotify on Linux (installed via Flatpak) is such a bad experience. It drains your battery and makes the fans spin constantly. As a paying customer for, dunno, 10y or so it’s so disappointing that despite all their millions of $ they just don’t care. Some AAA games run better via Proton, FFS.

@lea.verou.me Was skimming your post lea.verou.me/blog/2025/ho... and opened dev tools by accident. Noticed that there’s a long comment starting with ### CSS Conic Gradients and now I’m wondering whether that’s a bug with your SSG or CMS of choice?

The persistent myth that Steve Jobs just had genius ideas emerge out of his genius brain without incrementally building on prior work or observing humans or learning from huge mistakes continues to make people stupid.
Hey, if the media is interested in a cover-up of a senile president who's not really in control of his White House, there's one going on right now?

More and more I see rich text editors built on top of TipTap which itself is built on top of prosemirror.net. However, I see little mention of funding ProseMirror. It’s only a social expectation if the business that makes money (s. link). TipTap does mention that at all. Thoughts?
