  I initially thought Codeberg's updated terms of service against vibe coding and crypto was a good change, but after reading several critiques, I like it even more. #Codeberg

  Substitute coached one final soccer game this spring. We conceded with five minutes to go, then equalized with two. I want to live in an America that embraces universal health care and tie games.

  Another cursed article about how to write scrapers to circumvent anti-bot protections. I'm not anti-bot per se, but I am staunchly anti-anti-anti-bot.

  Emacs has an obscure keybinding, `C-h C-w,` that opens the disclaimer of warranty. More useful would be a keybinding that popped that up on entitled user's screens.

  The June, 2026 Emacs Carnival is "Underapprecated Emacs Built-ins." There are about two million lines of code in the core Emacs repo. Send me your favorite hidden treasure. If you're unsure where to look, see some ideas in the post. https://rossabaker.com/blog/underappreciated-emacs-built-ins/ #Emacs #EmacsCarnival

  Despite the "no warranty" in my projects' licenses, I prioritize security. I don't typically use GitHub on weekends anymore, but here I am on Mother's Day, after the mom in the house went to bed. If you ever point your Slop-o-Matic 3000™ at a repo I maintain, ignoring the multiple paths offered for responsible disclosure, you will not be around to see my response. You will be damned. #FOSS

  An Emacs rite of passage is to fork code-review and fix the bitrot. My turn has come. https://codeberg.org/rossabaker/code-review Between forge and code-review, I am starting to see a path to a tractable notification system. At the very least, I see a path to spending less time on github.com. #Emacs
