Today's Search Engine and Hard Fork podcasts were super fun to listen to!!

Excited that @CaseyCasey Newton @kevinKevin Roose and @pj are building their own Mastodon instance called the Forkiverse.

And I absolutely loved the vibe coding experiments Casey and Kevin did to make their own personal web sites (cnewton.org and kevinroose.com)

Feels like we are taking some of the best aspects of the internet we loved and lost and bringing them together with new tech in ways that are incredibly promising for the internet going forward. Bravo.

Must listen.

Our present version of the internet is arguably the worst it’s ever been. Which means – any shot at changing things, even an unlikely one – is worth trying out. Thr…

Gandhi påminner.

When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, the always fall. Think of it - always.

i think the most surprising-to-me decision we ended up making while writing this Git data model was to not mention the .git directory at all jvns.ca/blog/2026/01/08/a-data

in the past i’ve taken the approach of “let’s learn how Git works by talking about how .git is structured”, but actually lots of Git data can be stored in multiple ways in .git (for example there are 2 ways branches can be stored) and actually for the most part it just isn’t that useful to know.

A data model for Git (and other docs updates)

ICE isn't even a quarter of a century old. Roe was older than that and it got torpedoed *and* that was a former SCOTUS decision. ICE is not. don't be so damp.

Of course, none of this is going to happen. Abolishing ICE is about as likely as fixing the electoral college.

Oh well that's fucking clever. A threat actor is sending out phishing emails pretending to be SendGrid, and explaining that all their emails will include "Support ICE" banners in order to trigger ragebait clicks through to the phishing kit.

Are you familiar with Death of a Salesman? What is your background?

It’s a random curiosity of mine.

:boost_requested: Would you be kind to boost as well? Thanks
