The what?

I wish someone would care that Mastodon’s UI has been broken for years. Why do I have to click the three dots at the top of a column 20 times a day just to get it to load new posts?!

Aged like 5 year old milk:

"You can't become the I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M DOING dog as a professional identity. Don't embrace being a copy-pasta programmer whose chief skill is looking up shit on the internet."

Asking a software developer why they didn't just vibe-code their project is like asking a LEGO enthusiast why they didn't just buy the finished Millennium Falcon.

Besides, I have a feeling the Romulans always had access to frontier models with unlimited tokens.

Listen. I get it. I’ve always wanted a Star Trek computer I could ask anything.

But I don't recall Captain Picard sipping Earl Grey while the AI deals with the Romulan attack.

Yeah ok, Rust looks ugly, but have you seen a Perl one-liner after someone's been awake for 36 hours?

12 months ago, you saw something and wondered if it was AI. Now you see something and just assume it's fake.

Cool timeline, apparently we made reality the uncanny valley.

2006: paying for ringtones
2026: praying my phone never rings

Day 3, 10:30.

I tried talking to a neighbor. It was awful.

They kept making eye contact. I couldn't find the pause button.

Day 3 without Internet, 14:00.

I found a DVD.
It has a menu.
It has chapters.
It has exactly one movie.

I feel strangely free.

Day 3, 12:00.

I found an old notebook and scribbled down some thoughts.

No likes or boosts so far.

It's day 3 of the great internet outage of 2026.

I found myself opening the fridge repeatedly, but there were no new notifications.

The cheese has become strangely compelling. I might subscribe to its newsletter.

D*n't w*rk with ass h*les

I'm sorry, but ironing is the epitome of having too much time and too few hobbies.

The cookie banner is what happens when lawyers, advertisers, browser vendors, and regulators all solve the same problem independently.

And somehow I'm the one doing all the work now, clicking ❌ for the 47th time today.

The silver lining of the Frankenware era is that Linux process sandboxing is finally getting the attention it deserves.

Turns out the fastest way to convince people they need proper isolation is to let an LLM enthusiastically explore every possible way to rm -rf your home directory.

The natural evolution of vibe-coding? Frankenware.

You stitch together random pieces of code, skip the architecture, ignore the warnings and forgotten dependencies, apply a little electricity... and then act surprised when it starts screaming.

"This software has such a retro vibe."
"Pixel art?"
"No, it isn't laggy and just works."
