I despise these stupid little boys

I’m not sure if impressed or concerned, maybe some of both:

Not handing over your passwords to federal police can result in jail time of 10 years. Ahhh the colonies

I want this in the Ruby stdlib, and… everywhere

Copyright laws to protect creatives from AI data mining Tech developers will not have a "free pass" to use creative works to train AI systems, but advocates say more protections are needed against copyright theft.

The ASA welcomes the Albanese Government’s decision to rule out a Text and Data Mining (TDM) exception to Australian copyright law, which would have allowed for AI training on authors’ work.

Rental agents and landlords really need to get on the level of understanding that leasing a property should be a straight up business relationship with no strings attached.

Maintain the property, so it’s fit for purpose, and no double dipping.

No kidding! Tiny men don’t like to be challenged to grow by staff.

They’re not emotionally intelligent enough to accept any form of feedback, especially from a “subordinate”.

Renters need to stop disclosing if they have pets. Imagine if they had to disclose they had children! It’s an unacceptable ask.

(And, kids are quite good at putting their fingers through fly screens, drawing on walls, dropping things etc. likely far worse than most pets).

I watch a lot of open source projects’ issues on GitHub.

On a regular occurrence, maintainers are politely asking “could you please disclose if you used LLM to generate this PR”.

This is the polite and exhausting way to say “this looks like incomprehensible bullshit, why are you wasting our time?”

The secret hack analytics companies don't want you to know

Any boss that says 'no politics at work' almost certainly has shitty beliefs and will create space for their own politics. Seen it play out too many times to believe otherwise.

I'd find it super frustrating if every label, button or interactive element has the potential to become a nonsensical task blocking rabbit hole.

IMO it is worse than no effort at all, because it shows an apathetic disregard for the people it’s designed to help.

I guarantee we’ll see lots of untested, shoddily implemented ARIA as a result of this. Because they’ll use LLMs to implement it.

Broccolini Cheesesteaks A healthyish take on the classic Philly cheesesteak, these party-ready sandwiches are packed with roasted broccolini, a thick, tangy romesco sauce, and of course, lots of cheese. You’ve heard it befor...

we semi-regularly make a broccolini melt with romesco and it slaps. nothing quite like a well executed sanga

Yep, I was using screenflow for years too. I miss some of its ability, but screen studio is a lot less fiddly… haven’t found anything better

I’m not sure, but it’s a great product.

They’ve moved to a month by month subscription, so maybe the price will be more palatable, or you can have it for a month here or there when you need it.

Time to crank out the ol' us-east-1 ouija board

no face from spirited away with a table of meat, fish and vegetables. terrified onlookers watch.

I feel like this is the perfect time to LEAN IN and

Which is strange, because they would have so much time to have a good ol’ think while the computers do their art for them

“AI artist” is mad because someone took the phrase, “day to night transition” FROM HIM and generated an image based on stolen content.

Apparently this constitutes as intellectual property theft. Someone call the cops, this child is upset.

“Is the INP in the room with us now?”

Yes I’m still waiting for the upcoming evidence that they were wronged and badly misrepresented by the same industry standard metrics that no one else seems to have a problem with.

But but but the metrics are unfair! Performance is blazing fast after it loads! 😏

Nothing a few margarita bloks can’t fix

MAAP Beechworth 95km course had a slight bit more elevation, and on the day it was a solid 20km hill. It was tough, required snacks and lots of deep breathing, but got there in the end 👊

Totally agree. Modern web platform is incredible and super powerful. We need to keep advocating for boring technology that has great results for users

Given React is:

- basically represented by a single vendor
- kind of going nowhere
- Reacts SSR story has a long and sad history of broken promises

I can only see the market share shrinking from here, and, I’ll help that happen

It’s clear that dynamic sites are harder to make fast and efficient, but I do not agree that we should universally decide to judge performance based on the underlying technology or delivery mechanism. If it’s slow, it’s slow.

Sure, but if it isn’t hard, why are so many sites presenting with poor CWV?

Also, I’d challenge that Next.js is a lot less popular than you believe it to be. It’s popular in a small circle. Beyond that? Not at all.
