@3psboydMatt Boyd guns don't kill people contraptions kill people
@emily_s @mcc @3psboydMatt Boyd you need to be contraption maxxing. you need to be developing functionality that will never be replicated and is indistinguishable from a fever dream. you need to develop a theory of mind that's often correct despite its basis on invalid premises and remains in a constant unstable equilibrium like a dormant volcano. you need to be dr. eggman. dr. eggman is my future. i can must and will become dr. eggman
hey can anyone tell me if this is good or not

This 30/01 we're leaving Spotify, join the #boicotspotify #BoycottSpotify
Why? 1. Spotify owner investing in the military and the biz of genocide, 2. Spotify hardly pays anything to the artists (only to the famous ones), 3. Spotify uses AI generated music to avoid paying artists
On Sunday we join La Instrumental, to imagine musical futures that are more free and collective. For musical production and use that is + ethical, responsible, solidary https://www.lainstrumental.org/
A timely PSA then that this coming Friday is...

apparently someone is trying to use my domain name to make accounts on adult sites, using such creative email addresses as “diddy@“ and “epstein@“
this could be extremely annoying in the future if this keeps up
are people trying to do this as a blackmail thing? like what the fuck dude

What’s your laptop/desktop backup recommendation for general public, not-highly-technical people who don’t have extreme security needs and just want not to lose their family photos etc?
Maybe it’s just “use the cloud drive,” but…OneDrive seems to cause a lot of problems? or does it?

AI is making us write more code. That's the problem.
I analyzed research papers on AI-generated code quality. The findings:
→ 1.7x more issues than human-written code
→ 30-41% increase in technical debt
→ 39% increase in cognitive complexity
→ Initial speed gains disappear within a few months
We're building the wrong thing faster and calling it productivity.
How's hosting on the fedi? I'd like to give it a shot.

i spent years arguing about things like 80 vs 100 vs 120 cols. tabs vs spaces. i have never cared less about these things than i do in this moment.
lot of people are going to gain a lot of leverage by taking a very frank and honest look about what practices they're doing, and why, and discarding some that don't serve them anymore. some are gonna try this, discard the wrong ones, and crash and burn. the trick is, which are which?

Come share your talks, stories, ideas about the maintaining open source with us.
for a profession that talks endlessly about how cargo culting is bad, we sure do cargo cult a lot re-evaluating things is a big theme for 2026. what are we *actually* doing here? what practices can we verify are *actually* helping us write better software? what is "better software" anyway?
실은 별거 없고 그 분이 먼저 한국어로 'anti-capitalism'이 뭐냐고 물어봄
외국인들 발음 어려워서 한국어 발음 못한다는 거 다 개씹구라임 엊그제 영어밖에 모르던 미국인한테 5자나 되는 '반자본주의' 발음하게 시켰는데 한국인인 내가 듣기에도 꽤 정확하게 발음함 왜 말하게 시켰는지는 묻지 마세요

im phrasing this in a silly way because my brain is terminally online of course, *some people* have been talking about stuff like supply chain security a ton i'm just trying to like, re-evaluate things and how i think abou them. i review prs before merging. how honest is that though?

We've teamed up with Automattic to fight link rot on the open web. Check out the new Internet Archive Wayback Machine Link Fixer for WordPress. The free plugin preserves pages, redirects broken links to archived versions, and helps ensure the web keeps its memory.
“It’s very important that websites have a memory," said Alexander Rose of Automattic. "When links go dead, in effect, the truth goes dead—especially in the age of AI,”

*while npm install scrolls by on my terminal* incorporating code into my codebase? without reviewing it? that's irresponsible
"I recognize this and it's central to the reasons our ambitions fail," but very few leaders and orgs saw it. Everything was against this backdrop of the assumption that software dev as a learning and expertise issue was figured out
Now that's not feeling so assumed.
Every time I've worked on learning-shaped problems, it's been absolute agony trying to get tech people to care about it. Edtech, VP of a company that literally sold a product named "Skills," everyone is enormously dismissive of the power of learning even when you prove it over and over again
