MacKenzie Scott, worth $41.1 billion, is on a philanthropic tear and has donated an estimated 46% of her net worth.

Just to give a sense of the insane scale of billions of dollars…MacKenzie Scott got about $38 billion after divorcing Bezos in 2019. She has become the world’s most generous philanthropist, giving away over $19 billion…and she’s currently wealthier than she started.

Just. Tax. Them.

This isn't being talked about enough:

President Trump is hosting a gala at Mar-a-Lago next week for the top 297 holders of his $TRUMP memecoin.

Not only is this blatantly corrupt, it's a national security threat.

I solve the problem of not knowing what I'd like to order from Starbucks by simply not ordering anything from Starbucks.

If I wanted it at all, I wouldn't need gimmick software to tell me I wanted it.

Hey internet friends, I need some help: I have a family member who just applied the Windows April 2026 patch to his home business laptop and it forced a reboot and is demanding a bitlocker key.

The problem is: he didn't bitlocker his laptop. There's no key on his account online.

What can he do?

Thank you! I’m loving being outdoors again, even if it’s only around the block. Maybe I’ll get well enough to get back to a short walk in the dunes at some point.

And thanks 🤩 I was terrifying to do, but I love it so much I’m not going back to just red ☺️

Exactly this! On the treadmill I just watch whatever is on the Tv and let the treadmill do all the pacing 😅

And found one advantage of the treadmill. Pacing, the treadmill goes the speed you set. Walking I have to manage the pace myself and I am not good at that… 😅😂

The weather has improved and seeing as the treadmill was busy at physio I decided to just take a walk outdoors ☺️

Good luck. My success rate for cleaning is about 40% - but the ones that work are not included in my failure rate.

It’s just so frustrating when you get that one disc on a box set that fails.

It took 4 tries for disc 1 and 3 for disc 2. Disc 3 seems to show all the episodes, but I started opening the disc at 20:30 and have just started the rip at 22:20…

It’s so annoying! Clean, polish, swear, repeat, and I’ve managed 2 DVDs today. That’s it. They are taking up to 2 hours just to open. And then when they do work! I didn’t want to give up though as it’s a series. If it was a film I’d just see if I could get a replacement, but series are expensive!

Half of those are damaged discs. But the other half are discs that have just deteriorated even in their original cases and stored in a dark room. Oddly enough the oldest (late 90s/early 00s seem to be the most resilient…)

Just a reminder to everyone who buys physical media to own the content.

Get that content backed up! I’m working through backing up my collection and have about a 5% failure rate on discs.

Can You Keep a Secret
Can You Keep a Secret YouTube video by Stacy Clouds

Spent some time playing in the studio — new video is live!

Topic: secrets. How we handle them (or don't) in our code.

This is one of those things that feels obvious but is easy to get wrong & AI tools make it even easier to expose sensitive data without noticing.

Some more updates! The layout for mobiles didn't quite work as I had hoped, so I made some updates this weekend. Making the tags work better, fixing issues with the images, and making it easier to read for both mobile and desktop.

I can highly recommend it! I’m going to write a blog post at the weekend I think ☺️

It's a blazor web app runnin in SSR, deploy via @aspire.dev into container apps. It gives a great developer experience, as well as a really easy CICD flow (A PR deploys into it's own environment that is torn down when it gets closed). Even the custom domains are part of the pipeline for main.

The last few weeks I've been spending a few minutes here and there with my website, stacy-clouds.net, this morning I just put the new design live. Is it perfect? No 😅 But perfect is the enemy of of done, and it's as least as good as the old one - in fact it's better 🤩

No to refine it!

Elon Musk is acting like “talking about your feelings” is weak and unnecessary while he simultaneously uses his account with 230 million followers on the platform he owns to post about his feelings like a 14 year old emo kid on MySpace in 2009

OMG, it happened... After moving to macOS last year I set up a windows machine this weekend. And... I hated it... Things that never used to bother me are now just so annoying to deal with... Eek...

Not that macOS doesn't have it's annoyances, but I do think it's easier than windows to set up now

I don't want to brag, but in the last 2 days I made 4 phone calls that I have been putting off for weeks.

Same here… My first commercially used bit of software was written for an A-Level project back in 1993. I always feel like I’m behind, but my ability to spot patterns and join different parts of the company is what makes me useful. Apparently. However, even writing this makes me queasy…
