"K-Smog just truthed that all Firefox users should be subject to the draft" great job, you just let K-Smog define the entire issue for your whole audience

I love it when things are durable against negligence

for instance, Instagram lately has been trying to convince me to (*checks notes*) grab a cop's gun

it is actually crazy how The Algorithm feeds you stuff and puts you in a box. Instagram has become convinced I'm a lesbian motorcyclist with cPTSD and while they're not super far off, the way it feeds you and evolves as it tries to taxonomize you is really powerful

your whole ass job is coopting job replacement automation tech that showed up a few decades ago, my peeps

LLMs are just the new business school grads

separate legislative voting so that "is Z a problem worth fixing" is separate from "here is a proposal to fix Z" and anyone who doesn't want to fix the problem doesn't get to vote on the solution

access and status look like power, but you're just borrowing someone else's

it sucks but ideology is downstream of economics. i'm leftist but my mom studied labor relations and went corporate because _there wasn't a job for her at the union_. if your ideology doesn't pay people's rent you're just larping

wild how much of The Discourse is people who understand implicit bias failing to explain the concept to people who don't realize it exists

sad to report that good face cleansers actually work really well

fucking love that "you can rotate in Paint now" makes the top 5 features of Win11 today

The piece is by @ekesa.bsky.social and is darkly comedic, especially if you (like me) don’t know all that much about Clavicular www.themoscowtimes.com/2026/07/21/i...

Is Clavicular Russia's Next Useful Idiot? - The Moscow Times

It mildly bothers me that Bluesky has a "verified account" program. The username _is_ the verification, and having a separate system dilutes the impact of the very real technical step forward in reputation systems

no one has all 3: good taste, respect for others' boundaries, age beginning with `2`

traumatized enough to be low ego, healed enough to hold a stable self image

github proudly announcing that $100m has been disbursed through their sponsor program in 7 years, as if that's not pocket change in tech

cheese goes on the bottom of a hamburger

This is a really fucking good post. I recognize it in the incentives I've been subject to in my life and career swyx.io/con-man-life

My Life as a Con Man

Confidence is a dual edged sword. I trafficked in confidence when I was in finance, and now I see it everywhere I look.

banks are dumb

the explosion in pace of tech advancement is kind wild to really consider. Like my dad used the same milling machine my grandpa used, can you even imagine an equipment investment lasting that long?

people tell me I work a lot but it's more like I got paid to play in someone else's sandbox for a long time. I would have been doing a version of the same thing regardless

PORTLAND TECH LADIES, FEMS & THEYS: I'm running a workshop with @brittanyellich.com called "Putting Yourself Out There" for folx who want to give talks, write blog posts, make videos, but feel a little intimidated. Free ticket to Chain React included!!! June 29th, 9am-12pm ti.to/chainreact/c...

el oh el if you're an Enterprise customer of LaunchDarkly, they permit themselves to have a full week of unplanned downtime with no recourse besides terminating the contract early, this is comical for a line of business as critical as feature flags. launchdarkly.com/policies/ser...

My hope is that the next arc of tech involves a wider range of choice and a greater degree of cross-compatibility. I want to believe that people will look at how email functions and go "wait, why can't I do this with my socials?"
