I just learned that in addition to the already existing Swedish mini-series on Netflix, they're currently making #AnxiousPeople into a movie, with Angelina Jolie playing the bank manager Zara. 😃 #booksky

Finished reading HHhH by @atahualpavasari.bsky.social. Enjoyed it -- as much as one can enjoy a recounting of a grim piece of history like this. #booksky

Anyone in #booksky read this? Sheds light on how Nvidia seemingly suddenly became the most valuable company on Earth. Still, I couldn't figure out what makes this guy Jensen Huang tick. 🤔

GNU Sir Terry Pratchett! I actually haven't even read Going Postal yet, need to do that! This GNU was unfamiliar to me and took me into a bit of a rabbit hole that turned to to include even HTTP headers: http.dev/x-clacks-ove... 😅

The X-Clacks-Overhead header is a Terry Pratchett memorial Easter egg. Origin, syntax, and server setup.

Isn't that the exact same thing with the movie industry? Games need their own A24 -- or A24 needs to start funding games as well.

I heard the Local-First Conf was really good, despite all the AI: www.localfirstconf.com It seems like a relatively recent conference, I hadn't even heard about it until this year.

Do you still remember the time without, say, search engines? I really enjoyed the book This Is For Everyone by @timbl.bsky.social, the inventor of the World Wide Web. Here's my review: ville.saalo.moi/2026/07/16/t... 📚 #thisisforeveryone #booksky

I have needed some simple PNG editing tools from time to time, so I made this little service: pngtools.xyz There is no backend, editing happens in your browser only. No ads either. Give it a go and let me know if you find it useful! Made with ✨ vibes ✨.

Some delicious bilberries, just for the fun of it.

I see, thanks for explaining! Consider adding this info to the readme to reach an even wider audience. :) Funnily enough I've been in the business for quite a while but have never heard of the term "globbing", so it's not a keyword I would've thought of if I needed something like this.

Congrats! What do tinyglobby, globby, and fast-glob do? The readme in the repo is not very helpful for a newcomer.

I'm not familiar with Mojeek but I do think Kagi beats DuckDuckGo. For one, DDG serves ads. One killer Kagi feature for me is that you can prioritize or block domains in the search results. Never see results from Pinterest again!

It's nice when @kagi.com just gets you. 😃

Kagi offers you a simple button to copy the greater than or equal to sign when you search for "gte symbol".

Google offers a wall of text, an "Ask anything" AI prompt, and a manual way of copying the needed symbol when you search for "gte symbol".

The creative, original people are, in fact, still there! Google just doesn't want you to find them because there's no money for Google in them. I just compiled a short list of good resources for finding authentic content, if you'd like to check it out: bsky.app/profile/vill...

The best meme related to this and the 2018 Hawaii false missile alert: imgur.com/gallery/miss... 😂 I guess "do not have buttons jump around" is such a basic UX development rule that nobody thought you'd need to actually write it down... so here we are now. 🤷

As a research project, I built a needed tool with Claude Code. I though it would be a disaster, but It wasn't. I have some complicated feelings about it.

I used AI. It worked. I hated it.

I used Claude Code to build a tool I needed. It worked great, but I was miserable. I need to reckon with what it means.

Hey that's a nice writeup! Very level-headed. "Any process that involves these models must strive to maximize determinism" -> This reminds me, if you have a task for which an algorithm can be created, you should ask your agent to create that piece of code to do that task, not just to "do that task".
