Trump falling out with Elon was always going to happen. I'm a little surprised it's happened so soon, but then again every day is a million years right now so 🤷🏻‍♀️

You cannot stay in a narcissist's corner forever. They need you to become an enemy at some point.

Especially if you're a narcissist too.

I've landed on some absolutely stunning batshittery. Enjoy.

Had cause to remind myself today of the dramatisation of THEY’RE MADE OUT OF MEAT https://youtu.be/T6JFTmQCFHg

The irony of having a disdain for (unrestrained) vibe coding, and realising that the careful choice of words throughout your life to minimise ambiguity has turned you into a surprisingly good prompt engineer.

The Notion task form (defunct) and task@ email (current) and new form (future, will accompany email) are more than just getting overengineery about things.

I mean yeah it IS that, but it solves a very real problem. My MS has me unable to hold anything in my memory for over an hour or so.

I add the most trivial shit to it. You should do the same. I don’t care how small a task or memory I should retain it is; raise a ticket or it’s getting forgotten.

Since moving to Linear, my Notion TODO form is defunct. Still be notified, but it's a manual process to move tasks over.

Until the new form is up, use email.

`task @ dave . io` (remove spaces)

Yes, I know you people will be unable to resist dicking around.

Lovecraft: racist.

Dahl: antisemite.

And yet it's still okay to spend your money on their creative output. Because they don't benefit from it. Because they're dead.

Rowling, however, is unfortunately still ticking.

When you end your shitty ragebait posts with engagement bait - “what do you think of this?” - I unfollow you.

Nice and simple.

What do you think of that?

Corporate Pride should always be dunked on, but encouraged publicly.

Don’t let these fuckers forget we exist and have wallets.

In a rare instance of sharing from business media, this is fucking FASCINATING.

They faked AI using humans.

I can’t even hate it.

Renamed my scripts, research, and images dumping ground because I am an irredeemable nerd.

I knew Catppuccin was extensive, but 339 repos? Each representing a different tool or framework which can be themed? Blimey.

https://github.com/catppuccin

On the topic, if you want a dark theme that is compatible with some rainbow nonsense, I strongly recommend https://github.com/catppuccin

Among with themes for literally everything, they have Tailwind and DaisyUI integrations.

My Web aesthetic through the years:

13-16 : Tragic 1996-2000 goth

16-19 : Still goth but less cringe

19-30 : Dark mode but usability focused

30 - 40 : Dark mode but experimental

40 - now : 🌈 RAINBOW FUCKING EVERYTHING 🌈

Happy Pride.

The most important moment in yesterday's #DoctorWho was when Rose reappeared. We hadn't noticed she was gone. And she wasn't there because Conrad couldn't imagine her.

Both parts of that are important.

It was a tiny moment with enormous weight behind it.

Remembering that time this happened when I checked out a transphobe’s posts. Identity censored because it’s just a 15 year old kid. https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/9a48e66ec6a813050f31911d595d5ad76db512b45b2edec6bee73a9fbbd4aca7/575fd8abad3b66e71f024308f979c4248ba5bc3e1b930fedf10c4eed0bdd4bfc.webp

Sneak peek at my new website :)

Haven't migrated yet, have bugs to fix in the (more extensive than you might think) backend and https://dave.io/gender to port, but here's a preview.

Well, that’s interesting, there’s a timer on WhatsApp edits.

I’d implement the same at their scale, have hot append-only data storage for recent messages and then move them to faster read-only storage by consolidation, but I don’t remember seeing that documented anywhere.

Happened to watch a video talking about New Order's BLUE MONDAY being didactic on how electronic music can be put together.

It's not just me? Did BLUE MONDAY teach you things too?

if you have never seen star trek tos and for some reason don't want to, this image pretty much covers all the major plot points. you're welcome https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/9a48e66ec6a813050f31911d595d5ad76db512b45b2edec6bee73a9fbbd4aca7/14f828141f90dc091613b0ff06002d43e8d60232f75cfd6bb745ee8f060b4bb3.webp

Discovering that about five million other people have also invented their own URL shorteners around Cloudflare Workers and KV.

It's nice to have your ideas validated, I guess :)
