It’s kinda weird that I am now able to materialize software on demand.

Personal computers have become too good and that is why there is a powerful effort by big tech to take that away.

Why own when you can rent? Why freedom when you can “walled garden”? https://roylindauer.com/notes/2026-01-15-personal-computers.html

Vibe-coded apps are the 2010s Bootstrap CSS of 2026.

@pluralistic "Corporate Social Media" is just "Corporate Media" nothing else. As you said the social component is not wanted as it doesn't generate dollars.

With the rise of AI even the last human element - the content creators - have been replaced.

I strongly believe that social media/web/connections can only truly exist when people - not corporations - with the interest in it own and host it. Like the discussion boards of the past or the fediverse of now. .

Hey @pluralistic if you haven't seen @terminaltilt 's framing (above):

The "cloud" is just a landlord for your data.

Today feels like a good day for tulips.

The Firekeeper doing a little spin when you use certain emotes is the most adorable shit I have ever seen in any fromsoftware game. 10/10 darksouls 3 is the best game.

So much <3 to all of the folk working to support asdf-php, php-build, phpenv, etc. Not an easy task. And a thankless one at that.

Juggling multiple runtimes for various projects has me thinking about how much dealing with PHP is a huge pain in the ass.

Why is that though? Maybe it’s not? Maybe it’s just me? I don’t know. Why is the Ruby & Go ecosystem so much more pleasant from the developer experience? Why do they seem more developer friendly? I think I can answer "why"

- Ruby and Go assume the runtime belongs to the project.
- PHP assumes the project belongs to the runtime.
