石垣島鍾乳洞に行ってきました
水琴窟と名付けられた、つらら石から滴る水の音を楽しむだけの真っ暗な空間があって、それがすごく侘び寂びで良かったです

Pantone’s Color of the Year Sounds About White!
Design is never neutral, and the choice of Pantone’s color of the year for 2026 signals a bigger problem. Cloud Dancer feels less like a fresh start and more like a wink at rising extremist trends. It comes off like a clean coat of paint covering a year full of racially loaded decisions. Great opinion article by Rhea Nayyar.

EU Commission's X account has been removed after the EU fined X for transparency failures at the tune $150,000,000. I hope someone at the EU is paying attention to X's behavior as well as our growing community here on the #fediverse .

昔住んでた学生寮で別の日本人の女の子が「ホームレスが寮の中庭のゴミ捨て場を漁ってるのが不快だから鍵をかけたほうがいい」って職員に言ってて、職員の人といっしょに「誰が好き好んでゴミを漁ると思うの?なんでその人の事情を慮ってあげないの?」と話した。
実際、ホームレスの人は複数いたけど、学生がいるときは気遣って中庭から離れてるし、話しかけられたこともない。私には善良な、ただ困り事を抱えた人にしか見えなかったよ。

前も言ったけど単純にテキストベースのSNSが音楽に向いてなさすぎるだけで、動画SNS主流になった今の時代音楽のSNSにおける地位とバズりやすさってありえないくらい上昇してる

To be fair: I can be a size nazi. Whenever people ask me about which size I want, I ask things like "how many mLs is a Large?" because otherwise it doesn't mean much to me. Anyway, all of this to say that I probably shouldn't judge other people for their eccentric approach to assessing coffee cup sizes 🤷‍♀️

Anyway: arriving in Freiburg (Breisgau) now, with only 5 minutes delay.

Finally published my Stylelint config as a separate npm package so I can conveniently reuse it between projects. Including a list of 499 properties sorted in a way that makes sense to me (never-ending work in progress). The update.js script will help me to keep it up to date using @mdnMDN Web Docs’s BCD.

Zuckerberg has blown 77 billion – enough money to revitalize entire countries – on an idea so overwhelmingly, obviously stupid that I have never once heard anyone, from the Thanksgiving avuncular table to the most wretched depths of social media, say they liked it or even tried it. He was so sure that it would revolutionize the world that he renamed his extremely famous company after it. And now he's on to the next thing that he's so very, very sure about.

The world needs direction from sober people who aim to improve the human condition, not the whims of a handful of billionaire princelings who absolutely, positively cannot be dissuaded from failing at unprecedented scale while chasing their own vainglory off the edge of a cliff.

committing to that kind of approach is just so obviously a massive PR mistake to me, too. historically it's been so difficult to pin down exactly what 'causes' bugs and regressions (beyond "entropy" or "mistakes") that developers aren't really blamed for them. but if you've decided to "Go All In On AI", any user experiencing any problem whatsoever now has their explanation: it was your fault. you decided to let the AI in, on purpose. it wasn't neglect, it was willful damage you caused

even as a force-multiplier for people who want to feel powerful or capable, i don't think there's much value there. nobody respects the witless manager who's unable to control their subordinates. it's embarrassing to see pull requests where humans desperately try to rein in hordes of chattering automata. from the outside it looks like supposedly-capable engineers have traded in concrete work for a bizarre video game. it makes me question their judgement in general. they look silly

a high-profile software project proudly announcing that it's going to start "using AI" is basically the same thing to me as seeing a big "this repo is archived" banner. perhaps even worse in some respects? intentionally or not, the message it sends is "we don't really enjoy programming and we don't want to work on this anymore, but rather than retire the project we're going to do a really lackluster job from now on". like if your favorite coffee brand proudly announced "now 20% more sawdust"
