I don’t have the vocabulary to express how much I hate this, neat!

Another day, another GitHub outage. If you’re an open source developer, I’m going to shamelessly plug switching to codeberg.org if you’re looking for an alternative. I’ve started moving all of my open source work over that way, and have been very very happy so far (codeberg.org/jrkienle)

Like I’ma be real, I could get all sad and say something like “well not all Americans”, but like, it’s genuinely most of us, and that makes me even more sad

James Kienle @jrkienle.bsky.social · 01/02/2026

Absolutely! Like, I can understand the rationale, but there’s so so many pain points in my day-to-day with the like 4 different ways a string can be represented and figuring out how to pass those into native zig, c bindings, system libs, etc

Uninstalling TikTok has been the best thing I’ve done for my mental health so far this year, and that’s on the same list as remaining completely sober the entire month so far. It’s seriously brain rot that I’m glad to be, at least temporarily rid of

Hi TikTok, so you’re telling me that someone putting a literal swastika in their username isn’t a community guidelines violation? Aight

My literal dream is to get blender 100% compatible with maya keybinds, controls, etc. I know it’s open source and “be the change you want” but it’s so hard to leave Maya behind, even for Godot exports 😭

I use GitHub desktop (works with non-GitHub repos too) exclusively because of how easy it is, if there’s anything it can’t do, it’s probably worth doing in the cli anyway

It’s exhausting and all over this app. Like, let’s not pretend that he didn’t literally say he would do all of this, the Epstein shit is just the cherry on top

Has the added bonus of being able to install single components, meaning you won’t need the deps for all of react-aria’s components if you just want a combobox

James Kienle @jrkienle.bsky.social · 09/10/2025

I generally tend to like adobe’s react-aria for this. It’s headless and not that much of a pain to integrate

That’s an amazing improvement!!! I’ve pushed for every company I’ve worked for to use react aria as the base of their component library, but the docs were always a little bit of a pain point 😅

THAT was the reason? No fucking way dude. Ugh, someone needs to figure out a Bluesky-like short form video platform. Not that Bluesky is perfect, by any means, but I feel like TikTok is very quickly trending down the path that Twitter did post-purchase

Have any fellow Zig programmers encountered any repos that have a great experience around compiling example applications? I'm imagining something like an examples folder that has a folder for each example with a main.zig, and a setup where I can run "zig build example folder_name". Is that possible?

TikTok has been so insane lately. They rejected my report for reporting a comment that said “we should execute all the gays” saying that wasn’t hate speech? Shit’s on a different level on that platform these days

James Kienle @jrkienle.bsky.social · 05/06/2025

Absolute insanity. There’s a lot of reasons I love that app, and an equal amount why I hate it. Batshit crazy to strike someone’s account for literally quoting a public figure
