I wrote about double spaces after periods, but not really. A bully pulpit to talk about observation, history, and curiosity. https://glog.glennf.com/blog/2026/5/18/not-a-double-space-full-stop

this week I learned that if a computer program runs on a CPU, it is called a “computer program”. however if a computer program runs on a GPU it is called a “shader”. but! if, instead, a computer program runs on a GPU, it is called a “kernel”

I got this pair of Barbarian Egees not too long ago by the very lovely DuneTides! There's an rp looming in the distant future for this scene. Especially now that Conan Exiles got the UE5 treatment ​:pog:​

@munin to my understanding, the backdoor cannot work if you have a password on bitlocker itself (most people don’t, but if evil maids are a nonhypothetical concern for you, you really should)

I used to think I was… kind of antisocial. Not by choice, really — maybe just a mix of introversion and shyness.

I’m grateful to omg.lol and @neatnik for the chance to be part of this community.

I feel good here now. 😊

#OtD 19 May 1933 Germany's Nazi government abolished collective bargaining – the principle of workers collectively negotiating with employers over pay and conditions. Instead, conditions were to be regulated by labour "trustees", appointed by Hitler https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9129/nazis-abolish-collective-bargaining

I'd like to remind anyone calling for a new Nürnberg Tribunal that the original one was only necessary because Germans didn't respond appropriately to the evil shit Nazis were doing, when they were doing it. The tribunals essentially asserted that the German people would have been justified in using any force necessary to stop the Nazis, and that all who didn't try to use such force were complicit.

Sit with that for a bit and ponder the implications.

Y'know how some people can break any piece of software? Somehow they hit all the bugs?

I'm one of those people.

Want to be like me? Just run an ipv6-only network.

I'm looking for my next role! I love working on the front of the front end, using component libraries and design systems. CSS makes me swoon, especially when paired with glorious, semantic, and accessible HTML.

Static site generators like 11ty are my jam, and I've worked with WordPress and Craft (with some Drupal long ago). My comments are often longer than my code because great documentation = awesome collaboration.

I've also been a web director, but now I'm focusing on senior+ dev or engineering manager positions. Send me a note and let's talk about it!

The UK data watchdog is all bark, no bite.

From failing to investigate complaints to forgoing regulatory action in favour of a slap on the wrist, the ICO isn't doing its job.

It's time that the regulator is overhauled, because data protection laws only work if they're enforced.

Hey, question for the lawyers here!

Is this "Statute of Limitations" thing something you'd expect to mention to your clients, or is it a super-obscure thing that might surprise you?
