Today is #GivingTuesday, and we are also around the one-year mark of @snarfed.org and 
@quillmatiqAnuj Ahooja teaming up to build

We've accomplished more than we could've imagined and have incredible momentum going into 2026!

i just really wish there was some built-in logging thing that showed hit/miss live as they happen together with inferred keys. would really help gain an intuition on it @owoce.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy @unstubbable.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy @storyhb.com@bsky.brid.gy maybe something like this already exists?

cache components is very very fun to play with. i'm a big fan. one thing i'm not sure about is whether to place "use cache" closer to the data layer (particular queries) or ui layer (particular component trees). obviously could do both but i wonder which pattern i'll gravitate towards

Il web che amo.
Quello dei piccoli blog indipendenti, magari ospitati su qualche VPS dove si offrono anche servizi open source e privacy oriented, istanze del #fediverso, e tanto altro.
Si può parlare di #indieweb?
In ogni caso, impegniamoci per alimentare un WWW più sano.

@firesidefedi 
@prinluPrince Lucija a great discussion between you two. I really enjoyed it. Also, I hadn't been aware of Fireside Fedi (a great name). I definitely look forward to listening & learning more from future episodes. 🙏🏻 🎶
@stevenray @prinluPrince Lucija Thank you so much. I've been blown away by the reception. I literally asked my wife when I started if this was a dumb idea, to which she said: 1 not at all, and 2 does it really matter if it's just me talking with people. I mean I already do #2 everywhere I go, lol, but now I get to do it from around the world and advocating for amazing folks and the Fediverse. :-D
It's Giving Tuesday! Don't forget to check in with your company to see if they use Benevity; a 30-second search for "Ruby Central Inc" could unlock matching funds that go directly toward strengthening Ruby’s open-source foundation and developer community.

The thing that transforms large-language-model "AI"¹ from "a bad idea"² to "a fatal idea"² is "self-hosting"²: in other words, the idea the people making the AI can "program"¹ the AI by way of inputs to the AI.
This idea is foundational to the OpenAI approach, and it does not work, but the model tech is good enough at lying³ that in a formal QA setting it appears to work.

Girlguiding has announced that they will no longer be accepting trans girls and non-binary kids who were not AFAB. They have written a lot of nice-sounding words that amount to "we don't want to do this, but our hands are tied." To which I say: bullshit. As a lifelong Girl Scout and a current troop leader, I am extremely disappointed in our sisters in the UK.
As Girl Scouts and Girl Guides, we should be blazing our own trails and always, *always* advocating for girls. That includes all girls and anyone else who identifies with the girl experience. We should not be capitulating to bullies. We especially should be not obeying in advance.

My gym requires a qr code only accessible with an app, which only runs if you have Google Play enabled on your device. (The store, not GPS)
I usually have Google Play disabled and up until now I could manage without apps that require Google Play, but I really need to access this gym...
What can I do? I feel like the most extreme option which is getting an ungoogled phone, would not solve this issue. I would also prefer to use this phone as long as possible.
