Oh for fuckssake, this on top of the Musk-like chainsaw they've just taken to the radio news is the last straw. Given presumably GenX and older are the only people still paying for a licence, they've been trying very hard to piss us off recently :(

Think I might just turn fedi off for a day or two. So much moral outrage over an arguably poorly thought through bit of software, while the planet continues to burn and crimes against humanity proceed at pace across the globe.

Me writing a (mildly complex) regular expression 4 months ago to validate a user input:

TIL crows, starlings and similar birds only *look* black to us — they’re actually very colorful in ways human eyes are unable to perceive. 🤯

Remember that next time people can’t see your “colors”.

Some colors just require different eyes.

Hello friends,

Where is a good place to search for iOS dev/engineer jobs that isn't LinkedIn? Got a friend struggling with the job hunt (because job hunting sucks! Solidarity to anyone else going through it).

They're in Ontario, at the Toronto end, if that makes a difference.

Thank you!

Thrilled to announce that I have also exited the shoe business and liquidated my assets in order to be the case study for this economic bubble at future business schools

the more we're all encouraged to optimize our time and deliver more output, the more i want to never hit a single metric again in my life.

i want to commit on a project and never launch it. i want to code slower, spend more time choosing colors, re-invent wheels that will never get used - not better, just different - taking as long as possible.

i want to spend my time imagining different ways to say a thing, just to enjoy saying it differently.

zero output, always only process forever

Rushing to the hospital Emergency Room has emerged as perhaps the paramount objective of slamming one’s own dick in a doorway.

Tried photographing starlings but I only got these really dark shots of shapes high up in trees. Ugh.

But then suddenly one of them decided to perch right next to me and started talking. Such a sweetie.
But maybe felt sorry for me?

"Starmer tells Jim Ratcliffe to apologise for saying UK ‘colonised’ by immigrants" - was this the same Starmer that basically stood up and repeated the rivers of blood speech a few months ago?

"Delivery is estimated between: 12:00am and 4:30pm*"

Ye-es.
