Aww yeah, Castle Rat! They feel more 70s to me. If you want something similar that feels more 80s, give Die Spitz a listen.
Shouldn't they take themselves more seriously?
Bah, now it looks like it'll be at least 3:00 before we get power and I'm supposed be cooking a big solstice meal. 😕

Strangers, purportedly men, sending a private message that just says 'do you mind if I ask you something?' or 'can I ask you a question?' Is this some new scam? I’ve just blocked my third in two days. I blocked them quicker than a reply guy on a 5000-character instance who lectured me about Linux, so I didn’t notice if the messages were all from the same server. The wording was similar but the profiles were different. Strange scam, if it is one. There were no dodgy links.

2. What he says about climate is patently false (more on that later) but to the extent he's saying "politicians shouldn't do the right thing unless it's popular", I'd note only that that is a toddlers view of leadership. If the popular kids are mean, should you be mean?
3. Leadership is about doing what is necessary, not just what is popular. Read literally anything our founders wrote about virtue, and the inherent risks to a society based on democratic processes to sustain the rule of law to the extent that unvirtuous people gain power.
This Yglesias piece in the NYT is horrifically bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/opinion/democrats-liberals-oil-gas-industry.html

My new book Everything but the Code is packed with structured advice to help developers ship, and it's been hugely popular. Now I'm working on something bigger, and I'm calling it Kickstart – a macOS app to help indie developers succeed on the App Store.
It's always "School doesn't prepare us for Life well enough, we should be learning to do taxes instead of interpreting poetry" and never "Adult Life should be more poetry and less absurd and complicated tax rules"

A friend is pissy about Calibre adding A.I. into this ebook manager so they are creating a new fork called Clbre, because the A.I. is being stripped out.
Music is cool. Glad thats a thing we do
We need to remember that not everyone shares our same preferences, like how I use none of these platforms, but others do.
If we want to the fediverse to thrive, we need to focus on making everything easier.

This is implemented in a privacy focused way, we don't include any SDKs for the share modal, its just a url redirect

I just bought another domain. One I don't need and which will not be available for 1.5 years. Still a good decision: @dotmeow.meow ∙ see ya around ^-^' tries to fund the gTLD .meow which will be run by a queer nonprofit. Hope it works out 💚
As already stated before, we do not use GPTs when writing our texts. We may have inadvertently copied GPT-style writing by following Kickstarter guidelines, but all words are paw-written by our lovely team.
We understand the distrust because we've ourselves been disappointed by many orgs and companies falling down that AI sloppification, but please keep in mind that LLMs have been trained on existing documents and we have professional copy-writers who are tuned to write texts based on a certain style. And if Kickstarter has a certain style, they match it.
On Fedi/socials we do not have such guidelines and can walk over the keyboard as we like to.
Our copy-writer feels a bit hurt by this accusation, please bear in mind that there's actual real people behind this ordeal.
EDIT: To clarify, some reached out to us and where just really friendly throughout the ordeal despite their alarm bells ringing. This is entirely valid and we thank you from the depths of our hearts for this. We're just sad about much more hostile wording by others. Love y'all <3

Shortcodes aka hashids are very powerful, it's how Loops can support comment reply deep linking in a short url like:
Edsger Wybe Dijkstra was a foundational figure in computer science. His pioneering work established the groundwork for several key domains, including algorithm and program design, operating systems, distributed processing, and the formal verification of mathematical arguments. The "E. W. Dijkstra Archive" contains the manuscripts of Edsger W. Dijkstra that everyone in compsci is must read.
And to all, a good solstice.
