I'm torn between "the alt text should mention your prominent and very well done EFF sticker addition OR how old this classic is" and "no that's Becky" - thank you for being you 💖

That really sucks; here's an old meme that will hopefully give you a small chuckle 💪

Was not the #LoneMasker at the grocery store tonight, AND a stranger told me very sincerely that I was smart to wear a mask which made me feel good 💖😷

Every time you post something like this, it's obvious again why we became friends so fast ✨

I hope this project brings you so much dopamine 💪

"Technologies like LLMs have utility, but the absurd way they've been over-hyped, the fact they're being forced on everyone, and the insistence on ignoring the many valid critiques about them make it very difficult to focus on legitimate uses where they might add value."

Okay, for the folks who asked: here's the majority AI view, writing up the reasonable, thoughtful view on AI that the vast majority of people in tech hold, that gets overshadowed by the bluster and hype of the tycoons trying to shill their nonsense. anildash.com/2025/10/17/t... Please share!

@durrymusic.bsky.social have y'all considered doing "Derry Girls" crossover content? maybe it's too obvious, but it feels like there's something here: "I AM A DURRY GIRL!"

Poor tiangolo periodically gets mis-mentioned by folks on GitHub trying to harass me! 😭🖤

The idea of my loved ones groaning anew at my horrible taste in humor after I'm gone is strangely comforting 🖤

Yeah, American exceptionalism is largely why we're in this mess; it's not a positive trait to emulate, it's a cautionary tale 😭

Tianon ✿ @tianon.bsky.social · 24d

This is so sweet and brought me a smile today; thank you 💖

To misquote my dear @vbatts.hashbangbash.com, I hear there's a salve for that; you should talk to your doctor

The audacity to anthropomorphize machines being built by corporations
--stealing data
--exploiting the labor of the people who are actually the "undesirables" under eugenic thought
--killing the environment,

and then compare criticisms of such eugenic practices to, wait for it, eugenics.

Even if we pretend for a moment that someone *does* want the "docker pull" part -- ok, great, you've pulled the image. Now what? Oh, you want to *use* it? Right, you need to ... edit the command and/or copy just the image reference. 🫠

Nothing against docker, of course.

Just... no one has ever, in the history of the universe, needed to copy the "docker pull" part but all the registries have it in that field.

I have achieved my greatest accomplishment as a software "engineer".
I have successfully lobbied to have the `docker pull ` field in mcr.microsoft.com to just be ``

Other registries should follow suit.

I recently found out that Michelle Trachtenberg passed away just earlier this year, and it was literally days after I'd finally rewatched Ice Princess (which is so cute) and I don't know if I would've made it through had I known sooner 😔💖🖤
