Just to be clear, we’re going to make sure there isn’t just one guy standing in the way of the tanks on our Capitol streets, right?

Your level of vibe coder (voder) is a function of how much screen real-estate you give in your IDE to the AI chat panel.
<25% = Vibe-adjacent
25-50% = Vibe-forward
>50% = Vibemaxxing

Whoever did the layout and design for `btop` should be designing every cli tool. #cli #terminal #nerd

What's the worst #mac "feature", and why is it Stage Manager?

It’s not a riot in the streets like we should have, but we all gonna report “Gulf of America” as the wrong name in Google Maps at least once a day, right?

I'm dug in and committed to my AI-supported IDEs. That said, after wrestling with a bug for a few hours, I decided to just toss the whole thing at the AI model to see what it might do. The first line of its response:

"Ah, now I'm thinking like an expert engineer!"

I'm bullish on my prediction: the 50/50 partnership Trump proposes for TikTok is going to be Musk, using the "proceeds" from the $TRUMP shitcoin, putting the two in control of the single most important media outlet of 2025.

There is no discussion to be had.

Getting people out of cults isn't accomplished by having good conversations about the leader or the policy. You have to help answer emotional needs, which drove them to sign up in the first place. Then they can start looking more critically at their own behavior.
It’s amazing to me that politicians don’t commit to post first on @bsky.app and to engage with constituents here

THIS is more powerful than CNN , MSNBC, The Post will ever be.

You can broadcast for 9 mins on a declining medium, or engage here and start a real discussion.

Which is more powerful?

Make a meme coin to cash in on being president.
Net just about the amount it might take to buy TikTok US.
Get China to accept your shit coin as payment.
Own TikTok on Day 1 of your term, use Elon's Narcicist-X algo, control top media outlet in US.

Just saying, if *I* can think of it...

While I'm dying to unleash my fury about Trump, Elon, and the whole parade of horribles coming into power, remember anger only fuels their enjoyment, and logical argument has no purpose. No amount of "this is the opposite of what Trump said he would do" will matter. Chaos and cruelty are the point.

The rhetoric used to describe foreign sovereign annexation of Canada and Greenland is purposely non-violent, and benign-sounding, e.g., “statehood,” “buying.” But overtaking a foreign land for domestic gain is, historically, the basis of most of humanity’s wars and interstate conflict.
what are we doing here, people

I can't be the only one who does the "twist the cap the wrong way until the click, then turn it the right way to tighten" thing, am I?

Ok sure, but hear me out...

...what if all those Canadians could all vote in the next US elections? I don't think it would go the way Trump thinks it would go.

I'm gonna share this cartoon again simply because Jeff Bezos' Washington Post tried to censor it.

There are two ways to raise a kid:
1. Thinking farts are funny
2. Thinking farts are gross

Mine's a 1. My work here is done.

In the past two months, eight boys have turned up missing in Ontario-please share to raise awareness so these cases receive the attention so desperately needed and deserved.
Thanks.
