Looks like I need to take a few weeks off from work

This reminds me a lot of the old(-ish) joke "Punks are people who act mean but are nice while hippies are people who act nice but are mean." MetaFilter is very much a hippie place these days.

Oh, good.

Oh look, that's me!

This video has been making the rounds lately and being right in the middle of this, it resonates quite a lot.

"the sense of psychological ennui leading into existential dread that many software developers are feeling thanks to the encroachment of generative AI into their field of work"

Sigh. Again.

I really like the DS3, easily the prettiest Citroën in modern times and the same can be said of the rally version. What a car.

If you have seen memes of Tim continvoucly morging and didn't understand what has happened, the answer is of course: AI Slop. Thanks, Microsoft

The very last sentence sold me on the movie: "a marvellous sympathy for the whole cast" - which seems to be surprisingly uncommon in a lot of stories and media. I know it's not quite in the spirits of the times but I actually prefer watching (or reading) stories about people I can tell the author likes and that I can like as well.

Same here. I'll just hope that the hardware I have stays alive as long as possible and start a little savings bucket just in case.

Something tells me I will be thinking about this blog post a lot in the coming days, weeks, years.

Sigh.

"Trust is Being Manufactured Faster than It’s Earned"

I'm not sure what kind of person thinks this is a good idea. Ugh.

This is a good overview on the upcoming video features in Apple Podcasts. It's very disappointing how Apple is handling this and if their goal is to break the YouTube video podcast monopoly then this might be exactly the wrong way for that. Instead they try to route around RSS. Ugh.

The best use of print stylesheets I have ever seen. Astonishing.

Great interview with Alex Horne and Greg Davies, it's good to hear them on a format that gives them more time to answer and the questions are great as well.

This is pretty useful. I switch branches so much and sometimes I need to know what I worked on, so this command might help.

I already stopped looking at Bluesky because of these shenanigans and I guess this means I'll soon stop looking at Discord stuff, too.

A plugin that collects ActivityPub posts and posts them on a WordPress blog once a week. Looks like worth a try.

I'm not really all that much into Formula 1 but at least I can say that the new rules seem to produce rather good looking cars

So would I. Just look at it!

Now that's a very pretty monospaced font!

Of course he did.

Very much this. And maybe start caring as well. This might be the main problem: many people just don't care.

Until now I just happily used the one provided by the framework I use (or was grumpy that I didn't get to use one, in the case of WordPress things) and never thought too deeply about how DI works. Turns out: it's actually not that complicated if it is very basic.

Oh! A native (non-js, but frankly, still a bit js) HTML element for geolocation.

But to me, the issue is that we have an overabundance of content, and most content is not worth paying for. Most content is not worth anything.

Harsh but absolutely true.

Don't visit that page if you're hungry.

Puh, I don't know. A Social Media platform run by an ad agency?

Oh no. 😢

This is good! (And seems underreported?)
