@kiro.dev has quickly become my favorite thing for rapid prototyping. They have nailed the UX their competitors have all missed out on. Genuinely a fun piece of software to work with.

Now that it's against Indians, no one will talk about @jamesgunn.bsky.social's racist statement.

What a bummer. Really liked his work and filmography, and was very hyped to see a live action adaptation of my favourite DC character.

And these are issues that hit everything we do, all the time, constantly, unrelentingly. Technology is our lives now. We wake up, we use our phone, we check our texts (three spam calls, two spam texts), we look at our bank balance (two-factor authentication check), we read the news (a quarter of the page is blocked by an advertisement asking for our email that's deliberately built to hide the button to get rid of it, or a login screen because we got logged out somehow), we check social media (after being shown an ad every two clicks), and then we log onto Slack (and feel a pang of anxiety as 15 different notifications appear). Modern existence has become engulfed in sludge, the institutions that exist to cut through it bouncing between the ignorance of their masters and a misplaced duty in objectivity, our mechanisms for exploring and enjoying the world interfered with by powerful forces that are too-often left unchecked. Opening our devices is willfully subjecting us to attack after attack from applications, websites and devices that are built to make us do things rather than operate with the dignity and freedom that much of the internet was founded upon. These millions of invisible acts of terror are too-often left undiscussed, because accepting the truth requires you to accept that most of the tech ecosystem is rotten, and that billions of dollars are made harassing and punishing billions of people every single day of their lives through the devices that we’re required to use to exist in the modern world. Most users suffer the consequences, and most media fails to account for them, and in turn people walk around knowing something is wrong but not knowing who to blame until somebody provides a convenient excuse.

started drafting a post about RSC myths. any other myths you want to see addressed (or wanted to ask about)?
Myth 1: “Client components are bad” There’s a misconception that Client components (and 'use client') are bad and should somehow be avoided. This misconception stems from three reasons: Some people assume the goal is to move as much computing as possible to the server. So having a Client component in the tree seems like it goes against that. Some people assume that Client components can’t be SSR’d (turned into HTML). So they worry that using Client components will hurt SEO or performance. Some people assume that having a Client component makes everything in the tree below it “Client” too. So they want to avoid using Client components near the top. All of these three assumptions are wrong.

During the Bahrain testing week McLaren was always hiding the front brakes when they took the covers off. Now we know why. Look at how they channel the air to the inside!

The passing of Jimmy Carter reminds us that the path to ensuring America is great in the future begins with who we are and being the best people we can be. There is a timely lesson in that approach. www.thedailybeast.com/jimmy-carter...
Jimmy Carter Was the Anti-Trump Who Made America Great
Carter served in the Navy, won the Nobel Prize, fought for civil rights, human rights, and environmental preservation. Trump, the opposite.

Gutted.

As a tech enthusiast, Gordon's seemingly all-knowing personality and his firm grasp on the going-ons in the computer industry helped me learn about computers and develop an interest for 'em.

I want a @dieworkwear.bsky.social thread on the movie The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.

I really liked the costumes throughout it.

@techaltar.bsky.social question for TFC.

Given Nvidia's dominant position in the GPU market, do you think they will bump up the retail prices even more in this generation or try to keep them the same?

I assume any production not on consumer HW can be allocated to the more profitable AI division.

@techaltar.bsky.social, question for TFC.

AI video generation from top competitors in the space was made available to the masses this week. This is obviously going to pollute YouTube just like TTS and weird video edits had done already.

How does one, then, curate a proper unpolluted feed?
