From the C64 to AI-generated architecture. We’re trading "tinkerability" for efficiency, but at what cost? In 20 years, I'll be the guy with the roadside sign: "Traditional Coding Found Here. Just like grandpa used to make." ⌨️⚙️

Just a friendly reminder that Firefox for Android still doesn't have keyboard shortcuts in 2026! I'm glad all these AI features are here though!

@pitrh @Larvitz @nostarch I have a first edition from ~2007/8ish that I adored as I learned more. Such a great series of books for learning networking in general.

Clean energy needs to be more than a feel good choice; it has to make business sense.

RMI analysed over 200 utility incentives to see what actually works.

- Carrots over sticks: Most incentives are rewards. There is a missed opportunity to use penalties to drive reliability without increasing costs.

- Shared savings: Net benefits ensure the public wins more than the utility earns.

- Quantifying equity: Social goals are being successfully met with technical ones.

yc now wants your claude code transcripts, which is the first time a startup accelerator has explicitly asked you to show your homework to prove you didn’t do your homework

Here is the LinkedIn post, rewritten in your voice.

There is a massive difference between using an identity provider and actually building one.

My buddy Eugene just wrapped up a project that goes right to the heart of digital sovereignty: a personal month of self-hosting OIDC.

If you are interested in the mechanics of modern identity or just love a good deep dive into the complexity of our ecosystems, this is a must-read.

What if your car interrupted you to ask for a rating while you were driving? Mike Swanson’s latest essay, 'Backseat Software,' perfectly captures why so many modern apps feel like they’re nagging us rather than helping us.

A must-read for anyone in product or engineering. We need to get back to building software that respects the user's attention.

@mozillaofficial pulling out of it's ass 1.4bn$ for creating an AI rebel alliance but not able to fucking fix #firefox long lasting issues, demanding donations for #thunderbird is once more a reminder that all those year, the #netscape disater DNA is still there deeeply anchored inside that organization.

#firefox and #thunderbird has been left to rot since #AI may provide quick benefit to ther foundation board.

More salt on the wound, they've created a special entity to manage that so called alliance .

#Mozilla / #Firefox is not better the #Google / #Microsoft / #Apple when it came to #browser , it's just a product that may and will be abandonned if something more profitable arise .

You can pride yourself in your dead, skinned #firefox fur, no amount of open sourcing, white knight of the web shit show can excuse the fact the foundation and it's board have been playing us absolute fools over all this time and they only merit to be left forgotten in the same deep abyss that swalllowed #netscape

I'm pretty sure Mastodon is the first social network I've been on that didn't immediately ask me to betray all of the people in my address book.

Today in 1506, 520 years ago: The first contingent of 150 Swiss Guards arrives at the Vatican.

They say AI isn’t profitable. That’s not true.
Twice just this past week, I’ve been contacted and paid to fix problems caused by developers who relied on AI to configure servers.

Me: I was given the Leslie Nielsen Award at school.

Them: What’s that?

Me: It’s a big building where they teach children, but that’s not important right now.

This excellent podcast features data highlighting the significant growth of solar energy and the current state of renewable energy adoption worldwide. Ember does great work with their reports!
