Edit: Thanks for all the support, everyone! I’m good to go for now.

I’m looking for some help in moving my Etsy shop over to a Wordpress/WooCommerce site that I fully own and manage.

I would like to hire a developer to help me along the way, as a consultant.

If you — or someone you know and trust — would be interested, please send me a DM. I’m in Canada 🇨🇦

If you’d like to see what I’m going to be working on, my Etsy shop is at brittbuilds3d.etsy.com

Thank you! Boosts appreciated! :boost_ok:

This morning I got an email from a sender that identified itself as an AI agent.

So - plus for being upfront about it, but... please don't do this.

I get that a lot of people are really, really, really into AI tools. OK. I have my opinions on them, you have yours. I have major qualms about them, some people think they're the best thing ever.

OK. Fine. But when your use of these things spills over into the rest of the world, it's no longer a question of my opinion vs. your opinion, my decisions vs. your decisions.

At this point, things have moved from each person doing their own thing to inflicting your use of AI onto me without my consent.

Before this spirals out of control, which I can see happening *very* quickly, I'd like for us to agree on a piece of netiquette:

- it is rude in the extreme to set loose an AI agent to reach out to people who have not consented to interact with these things.

- it is rude to have an AI agent submit pull requests that human maintainers have to review.

- it is rude to have an AI agent autonomously interact with humans in any way when they have not consented to take part in whatever experiment you are running.

- it is unacceptable to have an AI agent autonomously interact with humans without identifying the person or organization behind the agent. If you're not willing to unmask and have a person reach out to you with their thoughts on this, then don't have an AI agent reach out to me.

Stuff like this really sours me on technology right now. If I didn't have a family and responsibilities, I'd be seriously considering how I could go live off the grid somewhere without having to interact with this stuff.

Again: I'm not demanding that other people not use AI/LLMs, etc. But when your use spills out into my having to have interactions with an agent's output, you need to reconsider. Your ability to spew things out into the universe puts an unwanted burden on other humans who have not consented to this.

想講香港（其實得無線）啲賀年節目真係越來越無味道

以前幾個節目各有各形象
除夕夜喺商場出外景（奧海城、荃新天地之類），搞個幾兩個鐘，現場直播artist組隊玩遊戲、麥玲玲蘇民峰李丞責講風水，時不時轉去維園後生主持睇年宵
年初一重播台慶之後喺廠玩，一定有舞龍舞獅、胡楓做財神，汪阿姐賀年歌，其餘就好似都市閒情放大版咁
年初二花車之後就係保良局，基本上大家都會熄機無人理，亦都象徵大部分嘅新年儀式嘢告一段落

上年喺天后廟前面live規模已經縮咗水
今年直情係各種預錄片段大雜燴，勉強湊齊跨年一個鐘俾你，連AI動畫都出埋嚟，之前仲要插個碧桂園式廣告雜誌同你講上面養老有幾爽……

唔知係自己大個咗，電視影響力細咗，定係無線真係無心做

點都好，預祝大家新年快樂，事事馬到功成🐴

Today's Start Page background is beaaaautiful 😍 🌅

(If you are constantly changing backgrounds because you get bored easily, remember you can get daily images from Unsplash by clicking on the settings icon on the top right corner, then selecting Background Image > Daily Image)

Screenshot of Vivaldi on desktop, showing the Start Page with a background image of a desert landscape with some plants that look like clumps of tall grass with thick, fibrous trunks. Above the horizon there's a gradient of colours made of blue clouds, pink sky and a yellow moon right in between both.

Shared by David Beazley

@gumnosTim Chase @nixCraftnixCraft 🐧

For distraction-free editing, ed(1) makes a great tool for writing:

• support for text, markdown, email, rst, TeX/LaTeX, Textile, asciidoc, as well as raw HTML, and many others

• agnostic on hard line breaks vs soft wraps (though I recommend using semantic line breaks in general for prose/markup)

• support for display-of-mode indicator when in normal mode via the -p option

• it's POSIX and works out of the box

• no complex configuration options to faff about with, that might distract you from actually writing

• doesn't require plugins

• hands can remain on the home-row

• minimal chording

• sophisticated capabilities for navigating and manipulating text

• no proprietary format lock-in

Semantic Line Breaks

When writing text with a compatible markup language, add a line break after each substantial unit of thought.

jj is just so fun. It even makes sense to me to use merge commits now! Never really was happy with merge commits in git, but here it just works nicely and I can rebase everything and nothing breaks

A jj view of commits in a kind of diamond shape. two commits based off the main branch, and a single commit merged from both commits. see also the raw jj log dump: ``` ○ zvpqznpu github@oli-obk.de 2026-02-16 15:11:24 git_head() 8892696e ├─╮ Rip out rustc_layout_scalar_valid_range_* attribute support │ ○ kqxwzuyz github@oli-obk.de 2026-02-16 15:11:24 rustc_layout_scalar_valid_range_end_end 01df8d6d │ │ Stop using rustc_layout_scalar_valid_range_* in rustc ○ │ zltlworp github333195615777966@oli-obk.de 2026-02-16 10:02:41 push-tzonluoyuwkq* 88c3bb50 ├─╯ Use `!null` pattern type in libcore ◆ xnmkrwun bors@rust-lang.org 2026-02-16 04:20:25 main fef627b1 ```
