It's really bleak because stuff like ESLint and TypeScript are basically the necessary guardrails for Claude Code/Cursor/etc to produce production ready code and they're begging for $10k handouts from fucking Google
A big thank you to Google Chrome for the $10,000 donation. We really appreciate it. 🙏

Like how do you write a really production grade JS application without ESLint? Trick question: you don't.

It's very important we start saying Diddy Kong's full legal name.
Do we need Diddy anymore.

In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties.
The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized.

Signal’s encryption is good. That encryption does not prevent people who aren’t friendly from listening to you when you don’t know who you’re talking to. Use common sense and don’t say anything to 1000 strangers you wouldn’t want read out loud by a right wing rag or in a court of law

The amount of effort to bully one person is mind boggling.
On my way to the Supreme Court where I'll be proud to support 15-year-old Becky Pepper-Jackson, West Virginia's only transgender athlete, as she opposes the state's effort to ban her from playing as herself.
Win or lose, Becky and her family are heroes for standing up for what's right

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

The Atlantic has updated their article to correct some of Frum's mistakes. However they didn't correct his denialist stuff. I work 50 meters from a lab where they recently identified a body recovered from a GPR search. A child who died at residential school, and was finally returned to their family.

The thing I’ve noticed about men attempting to be allies is they still often don’t take other men’s bad behavior seriously enough. The boyfriend in this video will escalate to hitting her, not just hitting things, and potentially to killing her.

I used to host an extremely weird nightly show called ZeD and I 💯 agree with this post.
I think if Canada wants to have a strong cultural identity we need to go back to doing what we're best at, making the weirdest fucking TV shows you've ever seen

They could just, I dunno, include an option for a descriptive audio track?
Oh but that would cost money I guess.

I got 2/3 wrong (identifies human as ai, and ai as human), but the one i liked most i correctly identified as human. So that's good i guess?
Hey all, I'm trying to get a baseline for how good people are at detecting whether fiction is AI-generated or human-written (most of the research on this is for nonfiction and my hypothesis is we're better with fiction).
