I'm rather impressed with this particular YouTube recommendation. This guy makes MJ-style covers of various popular songs. YouTube recommended his original cover of "Dragon Soul" from Dragon Ball Z Kai, and it's really good! Check it out! www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbtV...

A tribute to Akira Toriyama and Michael Jackson, built around my own fan made version of "Dragon Soul" from Dragon Ball Z Kai. For this version, I turned the original opening theme into my own…

Developing critical software with AI tooling without any real understanding of what you're building is worse than not building it at all. The illusion of developer expertise can make everything a lot worse. #ResponsibleSoftwareDevelopment

No AI tools are so useful that it is worth no longer collaborating with a large community. Please don't fork projects just so you can schlep code instead of working with people.

@xjonnyc.bsky.social Maybe this is the start of how Delta connects the eastern US to Tokyo directly? There's no room at HND, but NRT is comparatively empty. And there's still those fallow fifth-freedom rights... There's a lot of interesting opportunities, though I just want JFK-NRT on Delta. 😅

PSA for #AsahiLinux users: Do NOT upgrade to macOS 27 Golden Gate! Apple has changed how the boot picker and Startup Disk applications detect valid OS boot volumes. When using either from macOS 27, your Asahi partition will not be visible! We believe this to be a bug, and have filed a report.
