so tempted to just put Arch Linux on my college-issued laptop because it literally idles at 100% CPU usage on Windows 11 because of the amount of pre-loaded apps there are.

Alas, I can’t because it’s my college-issued laptop.

I love that people go “we have to separate art from the artist” when it comes to companies who say this shit

tfw she says "im going to make some soup" so you assume its like a ramen noodle soup or something, but no. shes british. so she actually meant a packet of tomato soup (heinz brand???) and three slices of plain, untoasted bread.

what the fuck

sneak peek of a little atproto app i’ve been working on. it’s called sidetrail

it is for sharing “trails”. a trail is a sequence of stops where you do, learn, or think. a trail feels personal — it is whatever “worked for you”

The new location feature suggested that some influencer accounts are based thousands of miles away from the countries they weigh in on. But X has explained very little about the data and how it works. n.pr/4p1jeoa
X's new location feature sparks controversy, but is the data reliable?

I want to believe that the development team at Google who worked on this YouTube app update actually wrote this.

Is AI making people delusional? Pretty positive they were delusional before coming into contact with any AI.

Also want to say thanks to Bluesky for generously supporting @slices.network with some grant funding ☺️

Working on a containerized auto-indexing “AppView in a box” sort of thing I’m hoping will make it easier to get started with #atproto. More updates soon!

i think this is further than any of us who work(ed) on product ever got, so kudos to @natalie.sh
My father-in-law is a software engineer. We looked at building a draggable sorted list together years ago and I asked him what it would cost to build it today. I will never forget his answer...

I use Constellation for my engagement stats in my Bluesky post card on my website. I use Slingshot for the literal initialisation of data fetching.
i also received a bluesky grant, for @microcosm.blue

dozens of atproto apps you might know use constellation, for major features like red dwarf, minor ones like leaflet, or as fallback like Blacksky.
yup that's officially 10 billion atproto backlinks
indexed by constellation
across every lexicon
that you can query
