I found I had less and less to say, until finally, I became silent, and began to listen. I discovered in the silence, the voice of God Søren Kierkegaard

@_gabyblanco There are two sides here: - Trump wants a friendly takeover - For the Cuban regime there are options like letting a million people die of hunger if that means keeping power

My money is on friendly takeover. The Cuban regime is all out of options and they know it well.

@unclebobmartin @ThePrimeagen I think he refers to the whole process, not just the syntax. Regardless of syntax agents fail to capture the level of formality of the task, i.e. they insist in irrelevant measures like tests, migrations, backfills, parameters, number of iterations to get something done…

I don’t engage with the syntax. Lately I’ve been having the agents use languages that I don’t know well. That helps me disengage from the syntax. On the other hand I engage strongly with the structure. Massively overloaded tests. Small discrete functions. Well partitioned modules. Tightly controlled dependencies. I watch all that like a hawk. Syntax doesn’t matter to me. Structure does.

It's weird how much time I spend trying to get agents to write code like me Maybe I should just write code...

@theo Scared of what? That finally we are discovering them?

Security things from the last few days: - CopyFail (linux pwn'd) - CopyFail 2/Dirty Frag - 13 advisories in Next.js - Over 70 CVEs addressed in MacOS 26.5 - ~50 CVEs addressed in iOS 26.5 - YellowKey (Windows Bitlocker pwn'd entirely) - GreenPlasma (Windows privilege escalation) - CVE-2026-21510 and CVE-2026-21513 confirmed to be used by Russia for Windows RCE - CVE-2026-32202 separately confirmed to be used by Russia for sensitive document access - Mini-Shai Hulud (over 300 JS and Python packages compromised via GitHub Action cache poisoning) - Google confirms they have identified AI-powered exploitation of zero days in an unidentified "open-source, web-based system administration too" - Canvas (popular LMS used in most schools) pwn'd entirely - PAN-OS (palo alto networks) pwn'd with a 9.3 severity CVE-2026-0300 Are you scared yet?

@enjojoyy Really? Who is having that crisis? Why?

I predict an influx of devs in biology because of meaning crisis in normal software engineering

@paulg Ego, entitlement and unrestrained philosophical narratives that boost them

It's a rough combination when people are simultaneously overreaching and uninformed. They want the best of everything, but they don't know what the best is, so their demands are simultaneously strident and random, like a set of vectors with large magnitudes and random directions.

@_gabyblanco Where's that? Vedado?

The restaurant where I used to work as a waitress, in one of the “nicest” areas of Havana. Another accomplishment of the Revolution.

@EP_EPRS @EP_Justice It's clear that you have found the Golden Goose of pretexts to attack freedom of speech and information.

Virtual private networks #VPN are increasingly used to bypass online age verification. Protecting children online is a priority, with new rules being implemented requiring a minimum age for access to some services Read👉 link.europa.eu/FGfr6C #DSA @EP_Justice @FZarzalejos

@CryptoTice_ It's still not approved as far as I understand but clearly looks like madness.

BREAKING: The Netherlands just told its citizens to go to hell. 61,000 signatures. Parliament reviewed it. And kept it anyway. You don't have to sell anything. You don't have to make a single euro. You just have to own assets while they go up. And the government will send you a bill. Every. Single. Year. No cash? Doesn't matter. Pay up. Asset crashed after you paid? Too bad. This is not a tax system. This is state-sanctioned theft with a bureaucratic stamp on it. Every other country is trying to attract crypto wealth. - Luxembourg buying Bitcoin. - The U.S. protecting crypto legislation. - UAE building crypto banks. And the Netherlands? Taxing you for having the audacity to invest. The most financially repressive tax in modern Dutch history. And they chose it deliberately. Because your money is more useful to them than it is to you.

@Apokatastasis11 @The_Davos_Man oh, ok, I had no idea it was a joke 😅

@lamg_dev @The_Davos_Man It was meant as a joke because, for most people, it's an oxymoron. Of course, the book has nothing to do with communism or state socialism. Carl Menger is even cited and the theory of subjective value is recognized.

The homework section of the East German law textbook is really funny. "Explain why the Socialist Labour discipline of the Socialist state is of an inherently voluntary character" lol. lmao.

@Apokatastasis11 @The_Davos_Man when the whole ritual was started and supervised from people high in the hierarchy.

@Apokatastasis11 @The_Davos_Man But what you're quoting here is a theoretical work who happens to use words in common with the "voluntary work" communist regimes use. The meaning is not the same. In communist countries "voluntary" is a performative ritual to pretend people chose themselves to work for the state

@The_Davos_Man No wonder I ended up having philosophical inclinations 😅

@The_Davos_Man people behaving exactly how the regime wants them to behave.

@brendonovich Great job. I just feel sad there's another useful electron app in the world. One would think with Qt, Zed's Gpui, etc. there are better native options specially now that AI makes easier to build software.

OpenCode Desktop is now running on Electron. Let us know if you run into any issues :)

@FakeAccount714 @derspiegel Auf Englisch kannst du mit mir argumentieren

@derspiegel X ist eine rechtsextreme Schmutzplattform geworden. Weil Rechtsextreme intelligenzbedingt nicht argumentieren können, beleidigen sie, werden persönlich oder spulen immer die gleichen Parolen ab.

Es wurde ihnen zu viel Chaos, zu viel Desinformation: SPD, Grüne und Linke wollen sich vom Nachrichtendienst X verabschieden. Hinter der Aktion steckt eine länger geplante Absprache. #ref=rss" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">spiegel.de/politik/deutsc…
