Less than 12 hours later I got an email telling me "Your post doesn’t comply with our Professional Community Policies on bullying and harassment.

Glyph @glyph.im · 08/09/2026meanwhile, over on the blue butterfly web site, I think maybe they're starting to get nervous. remember when the blue bird web site started doing this? 2112
Glyph @glyph.im · 08/09/2026Would you like to be able to install just the bits of Twisted that you like? Maybe you want to use Deferred for better async testability but you don't feel the need for a whole DNS server just for that? Well, good news, I have an excellent volunteer […] [Original post on mastodon.social] 200
Glyph @glyph.im · 17/08/2026I really wish that we could just get a clean test run every time on a fresh install, but having just recreated my dev environment on my Windows VM with no special setup, just `pip install` on python3.14, and … dang, this is pretty good for a first-shot out-of-the-box result of `trial twisted` 000

Glyph @glyph.im · 15/08/2026overall sentiment on "is 'AI' good or not"' is very noisy and kind of hard to interpret but more specific signals are not so ambiguous 113
Glyph @glyph.im · 13/08/2026fucking impeccable emulation of a human being. is this a robot or a person? who could even say. truly you can't tell if they're using an LLM, no point in trying to detect it. chefs kiss. no notes 2214
Glyph @glyph.im · 12/08/2026okay looks like I figured it out, I was just typing too fast. replaced with a cable that could handle my wpm, now it works fine 201
Glyph @glyph.im · 06/08/2026this is just literally the news now. not satire, just an actual headline 011
Glyph @glyph.im · 19/07/2026me: "it's bad to code with an LLM because it's gambling, you're just sitting there pulling the lever over and over again and waiting for it to give you good results rather than applying any real problem solving techniques" also me: 100
Glyph @glyph.im · 16/07/2026I really appreciate that the developer did this, not least of which because it's a model for how independent developers can react to pressure from their users who demand these features, while still ensuring that such features will not become load-bearing or difficult to disentangle in the future. 111
Glyph @glyph.im · 06/06/2026@mawhrin I really do not want to discourage people putting in real effort to actually include facts and analysis and logic rather than just Hot Takes ™️ in their posts, but in this case, that’s about as much positive commentary as I can muster 100

Glyph @glyph.im · 25/04/2026I love talks that make me, as a 25 year Python veteran, that have the ability make me say to myself “wait, does that even work” with less than 10 lines of code 131
Glyph @glyph.im · 30/03/2026pretty sure this is what publishing this blog post is going to feel like, in just about every way 000
Glyph @glyph.im · 25/03/2026every time I see this dialog box it feels like I am being asked to confirm that my referendum on Apple's product line is still accurate, and every time I say "yup" 010
Glyph @glyph.im · 25/03/2026After system updates I routinely get error dialogs like this and they trigger a massive wave of Weltschmerz. Who is this actionable for? What does it mean?
