"Bees don't waste time telling flies that honey tastes better than crap."
It's a phrase I've seen often in response to science denialism, but it's even more fitting when you realize bees work to benefit their communities while flies just create hordes of diseased offspring to become a problem to the world.
Be a bee, not a fly.

Mastodon FeedInspired by the replies to one of my recent posts, I decided to hack together a little tool that parses my YouTube watch history.
Shockingly insightful statistics:
Watched a total of 71767 videos on 13082 channels, at a current rate of 35 videos per day.
More than 5% of my watched videos have since disappeared from YouTube!
Here's just a little teaser 🙈

Then again, maybe I'm interpreting these messages wrong. Maybe these are modern prayer messages to the gods of shipment and bullshit as a service. Like wards against evil or something. 🤔

Having just received a package with this message, it occurs to me that writing "Please do not drop" on a package has the same energy as commanding "do not hallucinate" to an LLM.

Don't fight with me about Breath of the Wild and/or Tears of the Kingdom, please. They're both great. I've put like 200 hours into both of them combined.
They're both also just Nintendo copying everything every other company had already been doing for ages with open-world games, stuffed with barely coherent plots that nobody would tolerate from any other series.

A lot of game publications have given every major Zelda game in the last 30 years a perfect 10/10 review, even the obviously flawed ones.
Skyward Sword was especially mediocre, and yet, 10/10, cuz Zelda. Both modern open-world Zeldas are indisputably great, but both plagiarize other open-world games, and both have awful plots and voice acting. But 10/10, cuz Zelda.
Anyway...it'll be interesting to see whether the halo effect continues once the series gets its first title starring a woman.

Baseline is very useful for devs to know what's safe to use.
But please, don't let this be a chance for browsers to slow down investment in other areas because everybody's looking at a baseline-only subset now!
There's SO MUCH MORE that devs need and that's missing:
- The blocking="render" attribute
- Custom highlights API
- JPEG XL
- Masonry
- View Transitions
- Temporal
- ...See what you're missing out:
