<No one>

<Japan> okay but what if historical warships were barely clothed underage girls?

Also, on a side note, we have a lot of "property" now, except most of it is just woodland that we can't touch (which is great, frankly. I'd rather have "lots of land I can't touch" compared to "less land but you're allowed to clear cut it, go fucking wild), so I've just been cleaning up some deer trails during lunch/after work and I have to say... I'm going to have to probably dust off the GH5 and do a video walk-around. It goes from forest to bog, with bog lilies, and it's rather nice.

Look, Varied Thrush are very pretty, but my word you could have put more effort into your bird calls. "I am going to just whistle this minor third for two seconds. Good enough" is really disappointing.

Razor 1911 made a PC demo for Revision 2026 that's a whirlwind retrospective of the group, touching on a lot of warez/art/demoscene tech, tools, and history since they started in 1985. It won the PC Demo category and clearly earned it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AnbYNudAyM

"We didn't think AI slop would flood OUR servers" says company pushing AI slop in every single thing they touch.

This food brought to you by fire.

Sure. You could use a $10 canister of "compressed air" to clean out your PC. But (a) it's not air, (b) just to repeat, it's not air, it's di/tetra-fluoroethane, (c) you're causing all kinds of thermal nonsense, and of course the most obvious (d): *it's one time use*.

Why are you using the fossil fuel equivalent of "blowing on things", have you considered just using electricity?

Getting real fucking tired of Claude's active incompetence.

I really miss Heroku's ease of use... "point me at a repo somewhere. K now click the auth button. Cool, I will now deploy this automatically forever from now on".

I also can't believe Dreamhost looked at that, looked at Heroku getting killed off, and went "no reason for us to step in that role".

Got a new exercise bike. Just need to put it together and then put the old one up for "free if you drop by" because I'm sure *someone* is going to be able to fix it, but it sure as hell isn't going to be me.

To me it's just a collection of interesting parts for a future project, and the garage is too full as is already.

FedEx should be held to the same bloody rules as pizza. If you don't deliver in the FIVE HOUR TIME WINDOW you give, the delivery fee gets refunded.

Refactoring TS polluted JS to normal, clean JS with JSDocs (because type annotations are fine, but TS is completely unnecessary if you use literally any competent code editor, you should not need to transpile "not JS" into JS just because you want type checking) is way more work than it should be.

We have fire

And hopefully tomorrow we can actually use it...

Looking forward to Matt Mullenweg going nuclear on Cloudflare. I should probably make some popcorn.

Dear anyone on the Axios side of Axios vs. Fetch: Fetch won, now stop using third party libraries for things JS can already do.

You don't need dependencies for things JS can already do.

Even if that means writing a 10 line utility function. You already have a utils.js/utils.ts, literally because you didn't want to use third party dependencies for what's in that file already.

This toot isn't even about Axios specifically, stop using third party dependencies for things that already work.

It's 2026, <textarea> still has no fucking way to get the caret position in terms of scroll pixels.

Variable Font tech was announced 10 years ago. So where the heck are we right now?!

I’m doing three weeks of interviews starting in April to gather real-world feedback on the state of variable fonts and the future of the technology.

I'm looking for type designers, web designers, and graphic designers for 30-minute conversations. No prep needed, just your honest experience — including critical or skeptical takes.

"Will I go blind if I watch someone welding on TV?" is not a question anyone old enough to buy a TV should be asking.

If I were a shareholder, I'd demand the exec suite gets fired instead, as they clearly have no fucking idea what their business even is.
