speedometer : speedo :: pedometer : pedo ?? I can't be the only one that has this stuck in my head

Petition to switch the US to the British pronunciation (and spelling) of paedophile, which just sounds so much more disgusting than US 'pedo' which always makes me think of pedometers.

I’ll never forget the time some guy wrote me to tell me our website broke with his ad blocker. The culprit? Our advanced search page loaded an advanced_search.(js|css) and his proxy blocked all scripts and files that matched /^ad.*$/ 🤦🏼‍♂️

Ironically, I would check with Jewish scholars on this. Isn't something like this common for Passover where one 'rents' a shelf in their pantry to a non-Jew and they put all their yeast/bread there so that it's not in 'their' possession during Passover?

Gee Firefox, thanks for making my browser look all weird and shit for no apparent reason. Glad to see that software developers are focusing on the important bits like random gradients on UI interfaces. I'm getting too old for this shit.

Playing around with the idea of making my own aluminum, machined woodworking jigs by designing something in CAD, and sending it off to JLCCNC or SendCutSend or something. Not going to save any money over commercial designs, but it's more affordable than I thought it would be. #woodworking

Genuinely wonder if software is going through a "mass produced houses" phase. With the ease that new software can be built, we are abandoning and throwing away more software than ever before. When you know that what you're building won't last, how much care and attention do you put into it?

The thing is, you really have to look at how often the English manage to come up with shitty takes.

there's actually not to hard to spot via satellite view, they are the large buildings with no truck docks, and generators parked next to them. Here's a few from around Columbus

overhead view of 4 units of AWS style data centers, there are generators for both buildings in between 1,2 and 3,4.

A few units of Meta's datacenter at New Albany, the bottom unit is still under construction and active construction is visible all around the site

Also can we just talk about what a terrible choice Omarchy is for open source funding? There has to be a million other developers that could use funding more than an already wealthy white dude making a personal project that isn't even that useful or critical.

$300k to build a distribution around a single person's dotfiles? What a grift. There are tens of thousands of public dotfile repos on Github, folks that have customized their Linux/Mac experience, must be worth trillions of dollars by dhh logic.

Mikey P @mikeyp.net · 03/09/2026

I don't know how to explain it to other open source people, but Omarchy has a smell, like it exists only to funnel money. It's just a redistribution of an existing distribution, why not throw your money at the Arch maintainers?? Or the Wayland maintainers??
