  I’m not sure whether A) it’s impossible to complain about “virtue signaling” in a constructive way or B) my pattern recognition skills automatically-but-not-necessarily-correctly draw the line between “person who uses the phrase ‘virtue signaling’ unironically” and “person who is an asshole” with a high enough false positive rate for it to be a problem. Anyway this dude’s mad about forking Rails: https://ryanbigg.com/2026/08/amiko-a-desperate-virtue-signalling-attempt but also “his” rewrite fro...

  there are uint8_t wolves inside of me one: “just use the weird linux distro or openbsd, it’ll feel good spiritually and is fine day-to-day” another one: “wouldn’t it be nice to be able to screen share on discord and be social for just a little while?” another one: “wouldn’t it be nice to play some valorant?” at least one of those wolves is a fuckin’ idiot, the problem is figuring out which one isn’t

  Modern life is standing at a gas station sink with your hands under a motion-activated faucet waiting for water that doesn’t come. Am I a ghost, you wonder, waving your hands. Your palms look the same: a heart line, a head line, a story. https://sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/quicksand

  it really seems like tech bros and their ilk saw that law / theory / whatever that went something like “if you’re in a debate with someone and you resort to comparing them to hitler or the nazis then you’ve lost” and thought they discovered one weird trick to win every debate from that point forward.

  listened to @joeress@mastodon.social and crew’s convo about ai on the latest “late night linux,” kinda started to consider the “ai is going to help cure cancer” argument as a possibility, and then, well, lol https://www.engadget.com/2225849/google-shuts-down-alphafold/

  finally installed iOS 26 last night and wow this sucks so much more (or i’m noticing it more because i engage with core apps and services far more often) than macOS Tahoe. getting from an app to the home screen has a noticeable delaysafari’s “compact” view sucks ass and even after switching to the old layout everything is just kind of a bummer? remember when the current tab had an outline in the tab overview?they changed the fucking keyboard. for the worse. and check out the attached screenshot...

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@hrbrmstr/117002622899558263 the other day i deleted my idle wishing for a spell that would allow me to have someone dragged to the depths of hell because it seemed too mean. but no. give me the hell spell.

  it occurs to me that because this handle is trivially linked to my professional identity i should probably behave accordingly. but, counterpoint, i don’t think someone else’s inability to understand code switching should be my problem? (note the “should”; i understand it could very well be my problem anyway. also, “professional identity”? weird way to think about “name.” except, ya know, i have Feelings about that.)

  lately I find myself wishing I knew a spell to have some horror grasp someone and drag them to the depths of hell, which is probably a good argument against allowing me to ever learn any kind of magic. anyway for no reason here’s the emacs mailing list https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2026-07/msg00325.html

  This is a product meant for Twitter Blue Checks and Bay Area cultists with too much money and not enough taste, people who would happily let Instagram decide every detail of their life if they could. I’ve seen the inside of their apartments and lives and they are dull, derivative and lacking in any considered choices. Maybe this thing feels good in your hand. Maybe the fit and finish looks impressive in person. I’ll never know. It’s the Devil’s sloppad, and frankly that alone makes it look like...

  kinda related to https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@kevingranade/116976328083537323 : I'd been perusing /r/egg_irl for a while (because the memes were funny! cough) and watching "The Owl House" and doing my best to learn more about ✨️ gender ✨️ because of someone close to me... yet I suspect what really "knocked over the first domino" was realizing I really wanted my character in "Cassette Beasts"--who just happened to have the same name and overall "aesthetic...

  well this is certainly a take https://xn--gckvb8fzb.com/i-regret-migrating-to-codeberg/ I generally like this person's writing even when I disagree with them, and we clearly have different values regarding LLMs and cryptocurrency, but this feels like someone getting defensive for being called out rather than a reasonable argument against Codeberg's decision to kinda-sorta ban slop and shitcoins. I'm also generally unimpressed by arguments that "freedom" implies "a la...

  realizing that I probably haven’t hugged some of my closest friends—one of whom i, my wife, and my kid lived with—and on the one hand I’m like “that’s kinda weird” and on the other hand I’m like “that’s what you get when your friend group is almost exclusively autists”
