Gil Duran tweet: TLDR: Fascism in response to Palantir's long fascists screed on X.

"Your Account is Suspended" Message on X

The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X.

I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!).

So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.

#Germany is bringing down the U.S. National Archives and Records servers. It is astonishing that it took 80 years until the membership lists of the NSDAP are finally publicly available and searchable. Now we are all searching and making many uncomfortable discoveries. #fascism

Right now I favor #Codex for my work (mostly #SpingBoot, #Java, #PostGIS) but every once in a while you hit some weird cliff - E.g. a simple issue like: For generated PDFs ( #OpenPDF), add rounded edges to the images 🤷. #AI

DHH’s new way of writing code YouTube video by The Pragmatic Engineer

Getting dark-mode and image handling right in a multi-tenant #SaaS application is definitely more involved than a quick #CSS hack, especially when customers can do some basic theming themselves 🙃. #UI #MultiTenant #ImageProcessing

Is the future of coding with #LLM to just generate native #assembler apps? A little 10min #ToDo application, generated with #Codex.
