WCEU 2026 Recap

WordCamp Europe will always be special to me. Having been one of the people who helped get it started, it’s hard not to look around at WordCamp Europe and feel a deep appreciation for what this event has become. And still, every year, it comes back to the same thing for me: The conversations. It’s […]

@dave I dunno, the Spurs want it too! I think the Knicks are great at closing games and that might be the difference.

Scripting News: Sunday, June 7, 2026

Sunday, June 7, 2026 All the news reports about AI tools repeat the same hallucination story they've been running for years. That's another huge bug in the news process. They only report on a small number of angles that might have been news a few years ago, and have no insi...

For the beta of Micro.blog for Mac, I’ve decided to follow the lead of Brent Simmons, Rogue Amoeba, and others to hide Tahoe menu icons. It’s just too much clutter. There’s a secret preference “ShowMenuIcons” to get them back. I’ll document this somewhere before we ship.

While it’s certainly not good to be down 0-2 and lose home court advantage completely, nothing in this series yet suggests the Spurs can’t win games. Up 14 in game 1. And game 2 was theirs until the final seconds. 🏀

Daniel Jalkut:

Forever the optimist, I think that the next several years will be an era in which opinionated, competent developers are able to run circles around projects that are overly-invested in AI. Dip into AI, maybe even let it be your first mate, but never let it be the captain.

The President Has Arrived To Fuck Up The Hottest Party In New York

The President Has Arrived To Fuck Up The Hottest Party In New York
The skies have never been more blue over the city of New York, the sun never more warm, and the Knicks-merch more profound and ubiquitous. The other day my daughter had her first basketball lesson on a court near Battery Park City and I felt a strange sensation in my heart w...

Untitled Linux Show 258: Leans the Wrong Way

Flathub maintainers are sick of AI, Windows broke Jeff's laptop, and Xorg has even more vulnerabilities. Cloudflare covers in glorious detail a bug where Idle wasn't idle, Ardour gets even better with 9.7, and Valve is continuing to improve the gaming on Linux experience. W...

I Have Been Olivia Miles-Pilled

I Have Been Olivia Miles-Pilled
On Saturday, the Minnesota Lynx continued their early season dominance by beating the Seattle Storm for a seventh straight win. Natasha Howard has been excellent and provided 27 points in the game, but a big part of why this team looks like a monster despite their ostensible...

The Hurricanes Took Vegas To The Brink And The Rest Of Us Got Hockey Nirvana

The Hurricanes Took Vegas To The Brink And The Rest Of Us Got Hockey Nirvana
Well, the National Hockey League has hopelessly screwed itself now. It has unwittingly but in a very real sense created a Stanley Cup Final so wonderfully bizarre and delightfully absurd that the first game that ends up normal could absolutely result in its Toronto offices b...

The Knicks Know Something About Pressure

The Knicks Know Something About Pressure
Sometime around the end of the second quarter was the first time I thought that the San Antonio Spurs could not win Game 2 of the NBA Finals. The Knicks had ended the half up 4 after being down as much as 12 to the Spurs. Stephon Castle had been taken off the court in the mi...
