- Be me - Buy a cute retro gaming handheld (Anbernic 476H) - Load up all the best games of my youth (FF 1..n) - Play a lot. It's so fun. Play on the bus home from the work - Accidentally leave it on the bus today 😭 I can buy another but would need to start the games over from scratch. Gutted

Every time I see someone showing off their 3d printing setup and they just have rolls and rolls of filament sitting out there naked, on shelves, I console myself with the fact that while they may have sensible humidity levels, I probably enjoy better weather overall, bah humbug

The year is 2062¾. Humanity has learned how to travel in time. The inventors meet to discuss where it must be used. A heated discussion ensues, until one researcher stands up, slaps the table, and asserts "no. We have to prevent humans from learning to write. It's the only way to be sure."

The year is 2027½. Google renames chrome to Gemini Browser. But in this timeline, they allow an intrepid comms person to put out a statement consisting only of the words "we just felt like it idk"

Finally got around to mending the torn load lifter straps on my backpacking bag. One was torn and one fraying, so i cut them both off cleanly, cauterized with a lighter, made new straps and sewed them in with generous bartacking, then wrapped it up in tenacious tape. Proud of my handiwork tonight!

I am wondering if in the future it will be: - my agent and your agent sharing a task (agents end up being everyone's very personalized avatar in the creative space) - we are communicating within earshot of multiple agents who do work (they are not intrinsically linked to either of us)

There should be a zero-width joiner that allows me to flip any emoji directionally. Like I want 🤞 to have a horizontally mirrored variant so I can emoji "both fingers crossed" but have it look like a left and right hand instead of two right hands

The Svelte 5 guide has everything from reactivity and how it works, when to use and avoid effects, events, bindings, components and composition, transitions and animations to using third party libraries and making external systems reactive. 🔥

Apparently Claude studied under Picasso 😂
A screenshot of the Claude desktop showing a chat. The prompt is "I need a picture depicting the shape of the human head in profile". Claude offers to generate an SVG. The result looks vaguely like some deconstructed / cubism face, and the funny part is that the model goes on to suggest that the SVG can be used for "educational purposes, anatomical reference, or as a base for further artistic works"

The Verge is shitty journalism no matter how many readers it has. Some stuff is good, but their spicier takes verge on (badumtss) tabloid gossip and thinly veiled editorial agendas. Much like techbros pretend that their opinions are valid in fields they don't understand.

This is a satisfying read. I'm struck by how much of recent tech circles around the tradeoffs of "decentralization", but I wish we labeled it "trustlessness" instead. Systems with no broadly trusted actors impose outsized costs. 🧵 tl;dr Trustlessness always costs dollars somewhere
