Hilarious 😂. If there is no fire alarm to off, did the fire even really happen in the first place?

But in an economy, that money is ending up somewhere right? If all of the money is flowing out of the tech organisations, it is ending up _somewhere_. Be that in the pockets of hardware manufacturers or energy companies, someone is extorting.

Hey Cassidy! Small piece of feedback for FancyGists, if you hover `About FancyGist` since it pushes the other menu items, going between them is quite hard. e.g. If you wanted `File` and accidentally hovered `About` instead, it's a bit funky to go back :) otherwise I like it a lot!

You can really tell a lot about a person by how much fresh fruit / veg they have in their fridge

SVG Animations are pretty neat

I use excalidraw for almost all of my mind mapping / whiteboarding 😊 I like the handwritten aesthetic it has, but it's not for everyone admittedly.

Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up (Official Music Video) YouTube video by Rick Astley

Wow: after 15 years, YouTube has taken down the original 'Rick Roll' video due to a "licensing issue," likely due to the acquisition of Astley's record lable.

The metadata remains, but if you click through it goes to 'video not found':

the year is 2025, and for the first time in my life I actually have no computers in my house running Windows. The Unix life chose me it would seem :D

"I've suffered enough" lmao @dailydotdev.bsky.social

why have 5 lines of powershell when you can have 40 lines of C#

This is sick

Going to react from JavaScript document.createElement etc it is much the same experience

In the UK it is expected that you learn how to drive a stick shift, or manual as we call it here, before you pass your driving test (at least for the full licence). I've been driving for 7 years, and last year I got my first automatic car. It is a blissful experience 😂.

This is a rundown of how I ended up in a senior engineer position starting way back to the beginning of how I got involved in programming in the first place

Amazing talk Scott 🥰 I love that you created an open source autopilot tool for your life long illness. Getting in the papers with the backstreet boys hair too is pretty cool 😂

I left my house for 30 minutes this morning, when I come back, there is a workman for the neighbours on my drive 😤 asked him to move and he goes "I'll be out of your way in 5 minutes"! Am I crazy or is that insanely disrespectful 🤬

Holy moly, nice one Scott 😊 I will tune in!

London bus stop near Amazon HQ 🔥

Incredible that they not only think it's an AI voice and not a recording. But also that the AI is *Siri* of all options 😂

This morning I am on a bus and the voice recording of the location announcements is very Bristolian and I overheard someone unironically say "amazing how they managed to get their Siri to sound like that".

Do you think changing the feed feature is what will bring more people to blue sky? I thought most of the users here were just pissed off with seeing Elon bastardise the twitter that we once loved and needed a new home as twitter refugees

public static void main open parentheses string open square bracket close square bracket args close parentheses new line open curly bracket... You get the idea... Doesn't quite have a good enough ring to it for me 😂
