Canada looked at us and said “nah fuck that.”

shoutout to bluesky for cleaning up the dm spam problem. don’t know how it got solved but i barely get any spam now

Reading about the Canadian election results

Trump pissed off Canadians so much that the Canada’s Liberal Party overcame a twenty percentage point polling gap at the start of the year to winning the elections this week. Their fortunes changed after going anti-Trump after he started his “51st state” trolling. He made Canadians hate America.

Here's some photons that crashed into my driveway photon trap a while ago! The Andromeda Galaxy, the nearest major galaxy to the Milky Way. We will eventually collide with it, but don't get popcorn for that yet as it will be in a few billion years. 🔭🧪 #astrophotography

Americans shopping on Temu are finding out that other countries will pay the tariffs was just as true as Mexico will build the wall.

The company has chosen shareholders so the only right thing to do is stop giving them money. Until people do that, this will continue.

Politics is a helluva drug. People were really out here celebrating their guy putting 145% import tax on anything made in China forgetting pretty much everything is made in China.

I had a good run.

hype: we're finally able to get this working. downside: we have to upgrade basically all our dependencies in the process, so this release might take a hot minute

Forcing big law firms to work pro bono on government cases and then your first job for them is to defend cops facing misconduct charges is diabolical.

the fact that console logs are now transferred by Next.js to the browser with a [Server] badge in devtools is wild. i thought it would be weird from the PRs but now i'm trying it and it feels so good

Uh… then what’s the argument for using Duolingo over Claude or ChatGPT to learn a language, in this case?

feels like i'm lifting weights with my brain but in a bad way where remembering words and processing sentences i hear from people takes like 2-4x as long as normal feels like my brain is stuck in context switch hell and so i've got latency penalties across the board, this really sucks

Glad to be spending this Canadian Federal election in Australia so I don't have to stay up late to get the good schadenfreude. Thanks, timezones! (insert obligatory "where were you when Poilievre was defeat?")

enshittification sounds like something from a red hot chili peppers song

If video games have taught me anything, there's a man hiding under this box

Duolingo joins Shopify in announcing that “headcount will only be given if a team cannot automate more of their work.” The company adds “Duolingo will remain a company that cares deeply about its employees” and that “this isn’t about replacing Duos with AI.” Of course not. 😉

Congratulations Canada 🇨🇦 Global News has called the Election for the Liberals .. Congratulations PM Carney Cheers 🥂

Temu and Shein have both raised prices on their site to include the costs of tariffs. While Temu explicitly breaks out the dollar amount due to tariffs, Shein is not breaking out those fees separately. At this rate, Trump's slogan should be Make America Broke Again.

okay should i write this

I have 32 unused domains, and part of my tinkering this year is either shipping something to each or letting it expire. So far, I’ve let 4 expire and deployed 4. Most I bought because I have no self-control. Does the world need 32 dumb websites? No. But I’m having fun.

Weird flex, but ok

In solidarity with Spain and Portugal, my neighborhood in San Francisco is also having a power outage.

My new favorite thing that my toddler does is she'll randomly, out of nowhere, shout "Dance party!" and just start dancing, hands in the air and everything. It's the best.

Baby girl has the flu, and I came upstairs to see that my husband had also set her dolls up next to her. It’s the cutest thing I’ve ever seen, he even put little washcloths on their foreheads. 🥹

I do love to be complimented for the - let's be honest, phenomenal - work I've done on Next.js.

"Unfortunately, as an American, we’re very used to ignoring things we don’t like and have this false sense of power over things we actually don’t have control over." whew

One of my goals this year is to automate as much as I can with @diversifytech.com and delegate remaining tasks to my assistant. I am so close! Once that's done, I want to focus on marketing for Diversify Tech and begin the next chapter of my career: transitioning to Data Engineering. I miss coding!

This is one of the most entertaining things I’ve read in weeks.

Turning feedback into features is one of my favorite parts of building. Thanks for the push @bnb.im 💟

bathing suits with molded cups instead of underwire are not my ministry.

So interesting to see Python surging in popularity - thanks to this being the language of choice for ML, and now AI, and thus AI products - and software built using GenAI models or APIs. It allows ML engineers / data scientists and software engineers to use the same language.

the only consistently useful AI tool ive seen thus far is notebookLM. it will almost certainly not succeed because google sucks at knowing how to market its most useful products.

Next month is when the impact of tariffs will really start kicking in from a supply chain perspective. However we're already seeing the effects on products like Kickstarter which is now adding tools to enable creators to add extra charges to fully funded projects to handle rising costs from tariffs.

OpenAI is rolling out product recommendations that will send you to merchant websites to purchase items. Interestingly they aren’t ads or sponsored. For now. The endgame will be for these to become paid if usage gets high enough. Ads came to Amazon & Netflix. They’ll come to ChatGPT as well.

is it just me or is something interesting happening here? an interactive SortableList component re-renders on the client in response to state changes, but its rows are described by PostPreview which does a readFile(). but it composes perfectly fine. i find this fascinating, is it not to most devs?

TIL that the dropping of "emerging" and "future" elders in land acknowledgments was at the request of Indigenous communities rather than an attempt by the far right to claim that there is no future of Aboriginal peoples and culture. I was worried for a second when I noticed the change!

Mannnnn I’m so pleased with this! High recommend learning 3D modeling and getting a printer, I feel like it rounds out my maker skillset so well

imagine almost all the party leaders losing their seats lol

#CSS "Line height units give us a direct way to tie any size in our layout to the vertical rhythm of the text. Margins are just one possibility — padding is another, gaps, width and height, or any other measurement in the layout." webkit.org/blog/16831/l...

super excited about more frameworks treating asynchronous rendering as a first-class feature. this strikes a different set of tradeoffs than the ones chosen by React but there’s also quite a bit of convergence.

“AI Companion”

Glad that I laid some of the groundwork for this!

Surely this won’t impact user trust negatively.

"I assume they preordered" is just a Wow You Should Be Fired thing to say.

this is exactly how i feel today, can't lie

This shite is why Canada needs IRV or full STV preference voting.

Two more hours of voting here in BC. Let’s make sure we send the smartest, hardest-working, capable MPs to Ottawa that we can. We’re in a difficult situation. We need folks with real expertise and experience steering this ship. #cdnpoli #vernonbc #canadavotes

I miss the light-up Apple logo

Age yourself with a cartoon you watched as a kid.

My 7-year-old old had a half-day at school today. After I got her from the bus stop and gave her a snack, I told her I'll get back to work. She goes: I'll miss you, Mommy! I really won't because I'll be busy reading but I thought you'd like it if I say that. 😂😅

A massive win. Do it right and it pays off, actually.

Loving how Trump threatened to investigate journalists who post about his low approval ratings, and today all I see are publications retweeting or posting more content around his low approval ratings lol

summer goals

honestly can't believe this thank you to whoever nominated fontaine.sh for 'the most exciting use of technology' for this year's JavaScript Open Source Awards ❤️❤️❤️

“Why do I need this” has become synonymous with “I can’t be bothered to understand this and I’m discounting it so i don’t have to”

🚨 PSA - if you were using my `nuxt-time` module, you can uninstall it (it's now built into nuxt from v3.17 onwards)

Note that I'm only including PDSes that are reachable and count only accounts that have posted at least once - @mary.my.id has a more complete list on GH if you really want all known PDSes

ok youtube people question time. is there a mic i can buy that would be super portable (like if i wanted to record outdoors), had decent-ish quality (nothing crazy but better than macbook pro built-in mic) and is easy to set up (i don't want to carry a stand or whatever)

hot take, you should call your endpoints get_users_v1 and such to remember it’s ok to iterate in backwards-incompatible ways when you also maintain the clients (or if don’t mind running multiple versions for some time)

We now have a the brownshirt shock troops EO.

Passing the message, as requested

Walked a few kilometers in my new-ish dress shoes from Hush Puppies and didn't blister! not 100% comfortable but definite improvement over last few times breaking in, when I either actually blistered, or would have blistered without a few layers of prophylactic plasters on the back of my ankles.

@0x0.boo @str4d.xyz (I can't reply in thread b/c gate) the new relay account list is "accounts which have had an event go by since relay was set up". in multi-relay world, this will increasingly be "not all accounts seen on PDS"; only "MAU" if relay is exactly a month old

Love to wake up to a conservative LOSS More please!

Who’s in Leeds this week then for @heypresents.com?

LGBTQ is pronounced “el-jibbetique” (rhymes with boutique) and I will not be taking questions at this time.

a lot comes down to how many seats the NDP defends, vs loses to the Liberals in BC.

Oh no
