I wish I could like this post more than once. I hope this is the nail in the coffin for Stoney’s political career.

Selling the country out for parts

I sure hope you didn't write this post on an iPhone or Mac.

I'm not sure, but I'm not doing anything special other than using typical ad-blocker extensions in Firefox. A friend who has been using Bluesky tells me it happens to him too.

Doesn't happen on the mobile app, only on the browser. I get logged out usually between 1-3 days after logging in again.

Ok, seriously, this is getting so annoying that it's causing me to use Bluesky less.

I'm using Claude Code directly in the terminal within my Django app. The code updates in my editor as it works.

It's worth paying the $20 for Claude Pro just to see it for yourself: claude.ai/code

I watched this video from @mitsuhiko.at and got inspired to play with it:

The “About AI” link in the first paragraph is broken.

A herring is a fish.

When a herring is preserved by salting and smoking, it turns red and smells.

It's so pungent that it's a great diversion to distract hunting dogs from their trail.

Now, a ‘red herring’ refers to anything that diverts attention from the issue at hand.

I've spent the morning playing with Claude Code, and I can honestly say that I've not been this excited about a technology in the last 15 years.

I've been using ChatGPT for 2 years for coding help, as well as some Replit, but Claude Code is on a whole different level.

This inspired me to give it a try, and even though I've been using ChatGPT for coding for nearly 2 years, the Claude Code cli integration blew me away. Just unbelievable.

My friends can confirm that there is no shortage of behaviors that annoy me, but one in particular seems to be becoming more common—not just in the U.S., but everywhere—and that is people talking with a mouthful of food. It's so rude and disgusting! Is anyone else noticing this trend?

Plural: criteria, data, agenda

Singular: criterion, datum, agendum

Evidence shows that 'criteria,' data,' and 'agenda' are frequently being used as a singular as well as a plural so go with your gut.

U.S. National Debt projected to soar to $55 Trillion by 2034 if the Big Beautiful Bill passes 🚨🚨🚨

If this is true I might finally start using Apple Notes.

Markdown support is an absolute requirement for me in note-taking app. Simplenote has served me well for a long time.

Congrats! Y'all have certainly shown that car the country!

@pfrazee.com Please, please, *please* prioritize implementing RFC 6238 TOTP!

Every few days I get logged out of Bluesky in my browser, and without RFC 6238 TOTP I can't use my password manager to quickly login again. The emailed codes would be acceptable if I weren't being logged out so frequently.

OK, this is wild.

In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them.

It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*.

What the HELL?
