"Here’s Jeffrey Epstein complaining about SEO" one of the more cursed @miasato.bsky.social posts in a while

My first advice to junior contributors is to STOP using vibe coding for PRs. OSS is always about people more than about code. We don't need more code generated by LLM, we need more people who care.

I’ve been trying to use an iPad as a laptop and… it’s getting surprisingly close to being useful. That being said, when using a mouse everything is too large, but then when tapping around with my finger things are too small. Can’t win! 🫠

some of you got no idea what it truly means to join one’s professional network on linkedin. the sheer weight of such an undertaking, such a solemn vow. linkedin taught me the true meaning of honor, taught fearlessness, taught me deep, blood-bound loyalty. here’s what it taught me about b2b saas

Can you think of a single movie in which there is a video from the government denouncing its political opponents playing on a loop in public spaces in which that government was the good guy?
A new Noem video is being played at airports trashing Democrats.

A huge release of rstore just dropped! There are so many improvements and new features I can't list all of them here 😸
The entire codebase got a big makeover! Unfortunately this also means a lot of breaking changes, but I did my best to document everything in the docs.

Release v0.7.0 · directus/rstore
Breaking changes Throughout the codebase, the term Model was changed to Collection to prevent confusion with Vue's own model API. A lot of APIs also were simplified and cleaned up, or changed to im...

I've been digging the iOS 26 beta so far, especially the camera redesign, but.. is it just me or does the mode selector swipe the wrong way? Feels very counterintuitive 👀

Least expected challenge while noodling on RTL support: Any arrow → in the UI — like a back button — needs to be reversed as well. Sounds obvious, but very easy to miss!
