It's almost as if they bet on the wrong thing and lost a ton of money in the process. I wonder what could that be?

“Where did all the principled people who would hold the line against slop code in open source go?”

Maybe they left or were pushed out because they objected to Nazi tattoos, allegiance to Gamergate with threats of doxxing and SWATting, gendered violence at developer meetings and conferences, convicted child abusers at conferences, transphobia, ableism, and platforming racism because “he can code” or “he wrote a book.”

Did we really expect action against bad things from the so-called leaders who let WILDLY BLOODY OBVIOUS asshole behaviour happen without consequences?

True story: I was once able to help Dr. Knuth with The Art Of Computer Programming, by finding contact information for somebody he owed one of his famous cheques from the Bank Of Sans Seriffe and putting them in contact.

I believe that this is the atomic value of possible contributions to TOACP and computer science as a whole. No smaller or less significant contribution is possible.

✊ The European Parliament can still stop this.

The privacy organisation @noyb.eu has mapped which MEPs are undermining our digital rights.

✍️ Write to your MEP and ask them to stop the Digital Omnibus.

🇪🇺 In the European Parliament, CEO and LobbyControl identified 655 lobby meetings on the Digital Omnibus.

An average of three meetings with MEPs every working day since the Commission published its proposal in November 2025.

🕴️ Business interests accounted for 83% of those meetings.

when ads get through my filters, they're often rather poorly targeted because I don't fit into typical interest buckets for my gender and age, but this ad that's clearly targeted at a Levite tribesman from 1200 BCE is perhaps the furthest from the mark yet

Solar power IS nuclear power. It's just the reactor is really really far away.

Michael Nicolls, SpaceX’s vice president for Starlink and president of xAI, appeared recently at the International Astronautical Congress in Turkey to lament the rise of space collisions as Musk and Bezos flood the night sky with low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites: SpaceX Whines About Space Collisions After Gutting Regulators That Oversee That Sort Of Thing https://www.techdirt.com/2026/10/26/spacex-whines-about-space-collisions-after-gutting-regulators-that-oversee-that-sort-of-thing/

With this #GitHub runner vulnerability in place, dependencies could have been tampered with and malicious payloads injected into the built software. Any software built with these runners since the #eMudhra was made public and until the runners are fixed must be considered compromised.

I found this small collection of pictures of me versus Harold Ramis as Egon Spengler I made five years ago when I forgot to cut my hair for three months and was rocking a backpack, so it was only natural.

Sit back, take a good cup of coffee, tea or whatever makes you relax and have a good long dive into the past, when technology was improving instead of going backwards and - shocker - you often could even afford it: https://www.club386.com/3dfx-voodoo-history-ross-smith-interview/

Enshittification is the intentional degradation of products as companies shift focus from pleasing consumers to maximizing profits for shareholders.

The Norwegian Consumer Council hate enshittification and they're using humour to fight it.
