Tear gas (which should not be used on children) (which was not justified in use against any of those people) (which should be illegal in general) should be skipped on the ground. They're launching it into the air. www.theverge.com/policy/87278...

Scientists have created a clock that estimates the time it would take before there was a crash in orbit if satellites couldn’t steer. The current time is 5 and a half days, and it’s only getting shorter. https://spectrum.ieee.org/kessler-syndrome-crash-clock?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=fedica-Mastodon-Daily-Pipeline

Listening to a 50-year old cassette on a Walkman from 1998… and it sounds really good.

In 50 years from now, will any of current streaming services still be around?

Confession time:

Yes I've been using AI coding agents for a while now, and this week for the first time I had to admit to myself.

*They've absolutely made me dumber.*

I've been struggling to even know how to approach a problem, and it's finally hit me - I feel devastated, like some part of my brain that knows how to code has been lobotomised.

I'd name the feeling closer to despair - that the hope that things might change has just gone.

No thanks, I'll just try filing your mail in the Spam folder and see if that works tho. #crunchyroll

Please, I beg, if you're posting about a new release of the cool thing you made, include a small description of what it is and what it does.

It's hard to boost "libencarbulator turbo++ 2.8a release is now available! Now supports configuring reticulation of splines" in a vacuum, and I want nothing more than to boost the cool thing you made

So I know a lot is going on right now, but I do want to share this:

I’m excited to share the launch of the new Microsoft Inclusive Design website 💙

This project is my love letter to the community and practice that’s shaped my work for nearly a decade.

🚢 New Changelog interview!

In May of 2025, Docker launched Hardened Images, a secure, minimal, production-ready set of images. In December, they made DHI freely available and open source to everyone who builds software. On this episode, we're joined by Tushar Jain, EVP of Engineering at Docker to learn all about it.

Absolute 🔥 from @CrimethIncCrimethInc. Ex-Workers.

"A major Somali shopping center called Karmel Mall closed for the day. Daycare centers were forced to close when their staff demanded the day off. Workers forced a major AT&T call center to close. The biggest nursing home in the Twin Cities metro area held mandatory all-staff meetings to threaten to fire employees who participated, but those scare tactics failed and they faced mass absenteeism. The combined population of Minneapolis and Saint Paul is less than 750,000; that Friday, we saw an estimated 100,000 people take the streets in sub-zero temperatures. It is safe to conclude that at least one out of every eight Twin Cities residents took part in the general strike.

The leaderless character of the resistance to ICE in Minnesota is precisely what has made it effective. The decentralized nature of the rapid response groups has made them durable and agile. The initiative of autonomous fighters in the neighborhoods has enabled people to rise in revolt every time they have shot or murdered our neighbors. The horizontality of our mutual aid networks makes them opaque to the feds while enabling them to feed, clothe, and care for vulnerable families. No official organization would ever dare to call for the countless acts of bravery by which individuals have collectively propelled this movement forward. The everyday anarchism of the Minneapolis revolution is its greatest strength.

To the extent that we allow top-down forces to take control of the movement, we will compromise its structural integrity and set ourselves up to lose. With so much on the line, we can’t afford to let that happen."

One of the milestones that must be achieved before releasing Hollo 1.0.0 is supporting the ActivityPub C2S API, which in turn depends on ActivityPub C2S support in Fedify—also a major milestone for that project.

Reminds me of a story a friend of mine used to tell. When he was at sea the cook had a list of entrees and two lists of sides. They were all different lengths and the cook would just cycle through them. Every once in a while the stars would align and everything on the plate would be deep fried. 😵‍💫

Anyway, it plays a strange mixture of melodies, one of which...

Did Zendesk get popped?

https://xeiaso.net/notes/2026/zendesk-popped/?utm_campaign=mi_irl&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon

inspired by CLAUDE.md, I’ve started putting markdown files named after coworkers into work code repos so I can remind them to stop doing shit to the codebase that annoys me

for some reason they’re all mad at me now, which means ill be adding commands to JEREMY.md for an attitude adjustment

Was out on a quick birding trip during lunch today and met another birder. An elderly lady.
She asked me what I did. I told her that I’m a programner. She said: Me too!
So naturally we talked for a bit.

I briefly mentioned AI and that I hope there is still value in the knowledge and experience I have. She quickly responded: The whole AI thing is bullshit! It will not go away but it’s clearly over-hyped. Don’t you worry!

Made my day. For several reasons. 🥹

@b0rkJulia Evans from reading MDN that counts as a "simple request" that will not trigger a preflight OPTIONS request: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Guides/CORS#simple_requests

こんな日は海を眺めに…と思ったけどむっちゃ火山ガスってるねえw

This makes me sad (been there). From Joe Menn at WaPo: "Most of the Washington Post’s tech reporters were laid off today, including me. I have loved my time at the paper, which is where I wanted to work from age 15. I take some consolation in not being among the survivors who will have to work harder with less for fewer readers. On to better things."

@b0rkJulia Evans One idea I just tried: about:logging, keep Networking defaults, write to a logfile, then search the logfile. I just went to the Google homepage, and I do see "OPTIONS" in the logfile (which is huge). Make sure to choose Stop logging quickly, though. I'm not 100% sure it give you the entire HTTP request, but it seems like it might. If so, it's a very short one.

​​ ​​

@b0rkJulia Evans
Check if you have an active filter. Normally the OPTIONS request should appear on another line (i did it yesterday, with firefox)

that seems quite nihilistic, especially when there's an interesting philosophical question about the right now ;)

Someone do me a favor and remind me to check my post office box more please! 😁

Thank you @andypiper@macaw.social for the stickers that I FINALLY realized where in my PO Box from 6 months ago!

just got like twenty signup/activation emails from random company zendesk instances and i just want to know what i could have possibly done to deserve this
