Extremely upset that a throw-away XKCD joke somehow became the organizing principle for the Internet.
Stack of blocks labeled, all modern digital infrastructure. A ratchet tipping over the entire stack is labeled AI. A load bearing pillar is labeled unpaid open source development. Another label is AWS, and Cloudflare and Unpaid Open Source Developers.

This might be an unpopular opinion but what this baby seal is doing is very special to me, personally.

I’m broken hearted over the passing of Alice Wong. What a human.

In her memory, I will be donating to the project she co-founded, Crips for eSims, which has raised over 3 million dollars so that Palestinians in Gaza can stay in contact with the world & one another. chuffed.org/project/crip...
From Alice’s X account: “This is Alice’s friend Sandy Ho, posting. Per Alice’s wishes, this message is being shared at the time of her passing. ‘Hi everyone, it looks like I ran out of time. I have so many dreams that I wanted to fulfill and plans to create new stories for you. There are a few in progress that might come to fruition in a few years if things work out. I did not ever imagine I would live to this age and end up a writer, editor, activist, and more. As a kid riddled with insecurity and internalized ableism, I could not see a path forward. It was thanks to friendships and some great teachers who believed in me that I was able to fight my way out of miserable situations into a place where I finally felt comfortable in my skin. We need more stories about us and our culture. You all, we all, deserve the everything and more in such a hostile, ableist environment. Our wisdom is incisive and unflinching. I’m honored to be your ancestor and believe disabled oracles like us will light the way to the future. Don’t let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.’”

No animal can nail the whole "spectacular creature" thing as well as the whole "a little cutie patootie" thing like a bobtail squid can.

🦑📷Adrien Cantat (inaturalist.ca/observations...)
A Berry's Bobtail Squid (Euprymna berryi) sitting on the sandy sea floor. Its arms are all together and going forwards. Its gins a flapping. On its head, around its mantle opening and especially on its arms, it is a mix of iridescent blue, cyan, green and yellow. It is covered in black chromatophores all over, and the rest of its flesh is translucent or off white. A Berry's Bobtail Squid (Euprymna berryi) buried in the sand. Just part of its head and mantle are sticking out of the sand, with its eyes peering out. Its pupils are a horizontal line, so it looks like it is sleepy and squinting. It has a little bit of sand on top of its head. It is mostly purple with lots of of purple chromatophores. Its eyes are silvery, and around its eyes is some iridescent cyan, blue and purple.

It turns out that wanting to rebuild your site and add an English version is probably too much for my rusty brain

I am, however, too stubborn to quit, so that won't stop me... Hopefully

"Can't miss the boat"
"Embrace it or be left behind"
"You'll be replaced by someone using AI"

These are all marketing slogans that prey on FOMO rather than value propositions. Anyone making decisions based on this kind of shaky logic is just another layer in the pyramid scheme.

5-panel comic by War and Peas. Panel 1: A female green goblin officer rides a broomstick, chasing a witch. She yells, “Stop!” under a crescent moon. Panel 2: The goblin says, “Do you know how fast you were–” before the witch interrupts, “Officer! I’m late for a date!” Panel 3: The witch, exasperated, sighs, “Do you know how hard it is to find a reasonable guy nowadays?” Panel 4: She continues, “HE DOESN’T EVEN HAVE A PODCAST!” Panel 5: The goblin, resigned, waves the witch off: “Okay, GO!” as the witch speeds away into the night.
