I can't think of a previous royal getting arrested and subsequently keeping their head attached to their neck.

If all your friends and family know you've been a strident Republican since your teens, every single one feels the need to get in touch when a member of the royal family gets nicked!

Then there's my grandfather who drank Guinness in industrial quantities and lived well into his 90s. I'm doing it your way, grandad!

Having to pay (rent) to use a centralised API has always felt no different to having to pay (rent) to publish on an app store. It's why I've never bothered putting effort into mini apps. When @cassie said that hypersnap will have the API built-in, that was a game changer for me. That means I can choose to run a node, build an app and publish without any gatekeeping and no rentier trousering a slice of any success. Deshittification. Go Cassie!

If only it were true. Somebody should tell him we're still a damned monarchy and that's pretty much its definition. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026/feb/15/uks-top-prosecutor-says-nobody-above-law-as-detectives-investigate-andrews-epstein-links

Most effective weight loss device ever invented. I've shed lbs today

I've been freelancing since 2001. In most years, somebody has told me my days are numbered because code just so much easier to write that anyone can build stuff and won't need coders. They've never had the pleasure of seeing the almost universal level of ineptitude in the management layers of most companies big enough to have them...

Today's pondering... Do I carry on paying for a Claude code subscription despite knowing it's a classic phase 1 enshittification play? Or do I fork out for a gpu that will run one of the Chinese models locally? Or something else?

Decentralised you say. Great. Show me the docs for how I run a node. Tumbleweed....

Several. But I'm mostly related to them.

A trick my dad taught me to deal with these pricks has always worked for me... Imagine you've just caught them climbing off the toilet with shit still stuck to their arse. Talk to them like that just happened. Philosopher king, my Dad!

Unfortunately, there is no global shortage of dickheads.

Dear Meredith I get all your arguments for signing into signal with a phone number. I really do. But they all equally apply to an ethereum address. Please. Pretty please, can we?

Talking of which... Hey @jesus are you actually the Messiah or just a very naughty boy?

Potential new company motto. "non a paedophilis sustentatum" What do we think?

Today, Claude attempted to run this git config --global user.name Claude git config --global user.email claude@anthropic.com Time to put some decent effort into getting klotho working properly https://github.com/Empiria/klotho

Somebody slightly misunderstood the cultural reference as the GB Winter Olympics team departed and said "May the fourth be with you" Hope @afrochicks steers well clear of whoever that was!

Finally got around to reading this. The "What to do about it" section is depressingly, but unsurprisingly, thin. https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/5d972450-a8fa-48bd-98ec-6325a22a8b34

Watching the winter Olympics Coming to the conclusion that "nose butter" probably means something other than my understanding. I can't see the connection between snow boarding and the detritus expelled into a tissue when in the grip of a heavy cold.

Despite my best attempts to understand US culture, I don't always succeed. What is this Lab Owl I keep hearing about? What have they done to it to set it apart from its tawny, screech or barn cousins?
