No matter how many times it comes up I can never remember how to install a plugin to asdf and end up trying 4-5 "obvious" permutations until I start swearing, give up, and google for the solution. asdf is a good technology but enh
Netanyahu is boasting that Lebanon begged for direct talks following Israeli bombardments
Lebanon agreed to recognise Israel in 2002 along with most of the Arab League countries in return of a two-state solution. It was literally agreed in Beirut. Israel said no.

Which problem is better to solve? How do you innovate where you require permission from an ethics committee? Or how do you modulate harm once done? The answer is psychology was ethics committees. Why is the answer different for tech?
One thing that might have made me upgrade macOS 14->26 would have been if they fixed any of the more egregious bugs in Finder. How is such a basic, essential, app such a hot mess after years.
Thames Water's creditors want to set a new low for privatised water by asking Ofwat to sign off on a deal which allows them to break the rules. Ofwat are poised to agree. We can't let them. Email your MP now: weownit.org.uk/act-now/the-...

Israel passed a law allowing the death penalty exclusively for Palestinians. It was written by the fascist Ben Gvir.
Israel is institutionalising genocide.
Wasn’t it Jesus who said “I’ve done the hard work, just go take the oil”?
Truth Social post from Trump saying other countries should take their own oil or buy from the US.
Loser Donny's really not happy.
At some point, big tech/LLM companies like OpenAI must charge the actual cost of delivering generative AI - and I believe there is a subprime AI crisis brewing where the entire industry is dependent on discounted and unsustainable prices.

My Dad bought a mint condition HP7475A plotter and we decided we wanted to make some generative print art with it. I felt like creating a Reaktor type instrument that outputs HP-GL and so we have this strange thing. It's very cool to see them printed out.
Here's another one I quite like
Yes I spent far too long making Reaktor instruments back in the day.
If you're interested in making plotter art, this might be for you.
I've co-written a book with @ballantine70.bsky.social - available now from securityblendbooks.com
LinkedIn is, without a doubt, THE WORST website I have to interact with on a regular basis. It's slow, unfriendly, buggy, and did I mention slow? It's so bad I have to believe it's deliberate, I can't see how you accidentally end up with a product this poor.
If you see the relative difficulty for Europe vs America arising from closing the Strait of Hormuz and the implausibility of a lack of intelligence about Irans capabilities, it suggests to me the possibility that the Iran incursion was a deliberate attack on Europe.
Israeli forces shot all four members of the Bani Odeh family in the head, including their 5yo and 7yo. The 7yo, Othman, was blind and had special needs. This comes a day after Israeli settlers shot 28yo Amir Moatasem Odeh and stabbed his father.
How long are we going to allow a rogue US state to destabilise other economies?
I highly recommend people not boycott OpenAI ChatGPT. Use it. Just don't pay for it. Use it as much as you can. Every token you send costs them money. I use ChatGPT as much as possible, even sending nonsense if I have to. I want them to fail. I want them to crash and burn. They deserve to.
limactl makes it so easy to containerise Claude Code that if you are actually able to use it, you really have no excuse. CC represents such an attractive threat vector that it's only a matter of time before it gets compromised.
Oleksandr Khrustevych (www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0fZ...) and Loopop (www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwLC...) are my new musical crushes.
The greatest achievements of the LLM proponents will likely be to create even more inhumane working environments before they render you unemployable.
Post from @BullTheoryio on X This is CRAZY. It turns out Jack Dorsey's Block $XYZ spent $68 million on a single party in September 2025, roughly the annual payroll for 200 employees at $340,000 each. Then 5 months later, he laid off 4,000 people (40% of the company's workforce), citing AI and "intelligence tools" as a reason. Many people are speculating the real reason is poor planning and overspending, not AI.
No more Dirty Business ! The public, MPs and Environmental Groups have said NO to 14 years of illegal Thames Water sewage pollution. Email Ofwat now, so that they can't ignore us @weownit.org.uk weownit.org.uk/act-now/emai...
Screenshot of conversation with Claude Cowork using the Claude Legal Skill: Me: Are you getting mixed up? Clause 5 is rights ot termination Claude: You're right to call that out - let me go back and re-read the contract properly rather than relying on my initial pass. Extracted and processed MSA PDF document text content Extracted and processed MSA PDF document text content Fair point - I got the clause numbering wrong. Let me read the full extracted text properly to get the actual structure right before redoing the review. Read DocuSign Master Services Agreement document Read DocuSign Master Services Agreement document Right, I apologise - I clearly got the clause numbering substantially wrong throughout the review. Now I have the actual text extracted, the correct structure is: Clause 5 = Expiry or termination of Agreement (as you said) Clause 11 = Intellectual Property Rights Clause 14 = Limitation of Liability Clause 10 = Charges and Payment Clause 9.3 = Non-solicitation (6 months, not 12) I also had several factual errors - the liability cap is 150% not 100%, late interest is 3% not 4%, and the consequential loss exclusion is unilateral (protects only the Supplier), not mutual. Let me redo the review properly with the correct details.
So much for Claude Cowork's new legal skill which sent markets into a panic re: it being Legal SaaS killer. I tried it out just now on an MSA I needed to review...
Amazon should be done for their ads showing a delivery person looking relaxed and happy.
If you have ever wondered how we can fill landfill sites so quickly you haven’t visited Flying Tiger.
Amen.
