Attention please, I would like to get opinions on this question from people who actually use , and aren’t just aware that it’s proprietary software which is what originally put me off of it all the way back in 2016:

Is Cloudron actually good? 🙂

@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

This 30/01 we're leaving Spotify, join the

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

boicotspotify.org/

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 lainstrumental.org/

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.

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."

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?

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?
