We gave up on people using AI to fix human issues and applaud and follow egotistical sociopaths that want to be immortal. Shouldn't we protect ourselves from disaster for the benefit of being able to say that we were "on the edge of technology"? christianheilmann.com/2026/10/04/a...

Huh, I never realised that when you use mailto: in a link for an email (as you should) the browser offers a "copy email" option in the context menu that only copies the email without the protocol.

Remember: The “f” in xenophobia stands for “fun” christianheilmann.com/2026/06/02/r... A few days ago the US government released a X-Files style web site that looks like it is about aliens but is truly terrifying and a sign of the times we should not take lightly.

A photo of two gilded cobble stones explaining that a Jewish couple lived here who got detained and sent to Auschwitz to die. Surrounded by flowers people added to not forget and overlaid by an alien emoji with a no ring above it.

Arrived at the SQUER CodeCrafts conference in Vienna and set up to record lots of Coffee With Developers episodes with folk. The first talk mentioned the Matrix. Most people do not know that the Matrix must be located in Europe as in order to access Oracle you need to accept a cookie.

One MacOS terminal feature I love is using ** to recursively access files. So whilst you can use find . -type f -iname "*.gif" to find gifs in this and all subfolders, you can also do: ls **/*.gif
