@ria total rando here but this popped up in my feed and I just want to say: yay!
@davetron5000 iโm not doing Ruby these days so I havenโt looked at this closely but I took a peek at the website and I love how you have that prominent conceptual overview. Most frameworks and libraries donโt make anything like that available at all โ let alone prominent โ to everyoneโs detriment.
@volts.wtf@bsky.brid.gy I think of this as an example of one of the characteristics of our post-fact era โ people can and do simply ignore any potential bit of information that might be uncomfortable or inconvenient for them to take seriously.
(To be clear, Iโm not exempting myself from this; I struggle with it often. We live in an era of exponentially increasing ambient bullshit, and the effort required to vet any bit of information has lately been increasing. See also โA lie can travel halfway around the world before the truth can get its boots onโ and Brandolini's law.)
I just noticed that bsky.app puts a large amount of a postโs text in the page title. Blast from the past! This makes me nostalgic for days past when page titles were useful.
goog meet continues to be teh worst
Who called it ChatGPT when Grand Theft Autocorrect was right there?
Someone called ChatGPT โGrand Theft Autocorrectโ and I laughed way too long at that.
@searls interesting. Thank you for sharing. Iโve been using the tagline โfull cycleโ on my resume for awhile. full-breadth might be even better, semantically at least. And for me itโd be slightly aspirational, whereas Iโm kinda bored with โfull cycleโ
Just wrapped up high school and exploring what's next! You probably know me from Altbot (the accessibility bot that helps make Fedi more inclusive), but I also build terminal tools, AI integrations, and love working on anything that improves user experience.
Looking for opportunities in full-stack dev, UI/UX, or accessibility-focused roles. Strong in Go, Python, C#, Web, 7+ years Linux experience, and passionate about open source. My projects have thousands of users and I'm always thinking about how to make tech more accessible, inclusive, and user friendly for everyone.

Boosts appreciated!
The new Orbea Muga looks super cool โย itโs a full-suspension mid-drive e-bike available with fenders and a belt drive. This is exactly the kind of configuration Iโm considering for my next ebike. So far not many manufacturers have offered something like this, and theyโve been super pricey. So itโs good to see this setup becoming more prevalent.
Iโm thoroughly enjoying this indie video series: Do We Eat Him?
Todayโs episode (5) really cracked me up. Which I needed after a tough week. But start with episode 1!
Aย NASAย astronaut has captured an electrifying image ofย Earth from space, featuring a gigantic, jellyfish-shaped "sprite" of redย lightningย shooting upwards above a thunderstorm in North America. The rare phenomenon is still poorly understood, despite being studied for more than 30 years.

@juergen_hubert I was responding to your comment, " then we must understand the primary fear that drive so many Israeli Jews to support #Zionism." Labor's new leader Yair Golan would call himself a "Zionist" but he doesn't resemble Netanyahu in the least. Being a Zionist doesn't mean you don't understand or support Palestinian national aspirations. You can be a fervent believer in a two-state solution and still be a Zionist. It's the Israeli right's eliminationist stance that is so disturbing.
If you use a laptop regularly โย and especially if like me youโre tall and have a long torso โ then I canโt recommend the Nexstand K2 laptop stand enough.
Itโs spared my back many times over. Iโve been using mine for years. Itโs compact, durable, lightweight, and easy to use. I use it with a 16" laptop that weighs ~2 kg.
(I stole the photos from their website because Iโm lazy, but I really do have one that Iโm using right now and have been for years.)
(I donโt recommend the K7 model. Iโve tried it and itโs inferior.)
(You can find the K2 brand new on eBay pretty easily.)
(In fact I just bought a couple via eBay, just to have a few of them โin stockโ ร la @siracusa )
@octothorpe let me know what happens!
Chester, New York (outside Valkyrie Coffee Roasters)
Iโve been pondering a replacement for my 2015 Nissan Leaf (and the Model 3 I sold a month ago) and lately Iโve started leaning towards a 2022 Polestar 2 with the performance pack. Iโm gonna try to find one to test drive soon.
For example: https://carsandbids.com/auctions/KD1jgnMG/2022-polestar-2-dual-motor-performance
@octothorpe see screenshot โ looks like Iโll have to manually issue this instruction for every session, like an animal. Good thing Iโm a heavy user of a clipboard manager.
Thanks for the suggestion!
@octothorpe oh yeah good point I will give that a try thanks!
