Huge drop in Google searches for various health disinformation topics following the Ukrainian strikes on Russian data centers.
It makes you wonder how much of the “turbo cancer, ivermectin” nonsense is really fueled by Russian bots, & how many Americans they’ve killed…
Spent ages figuring out why split DNS wasn't working through @Tailscale, only to learn it doesn't drop a route when the device goes offline. One device advertises a /24, another a /16. Shut down the /24 one and its route still wins because it's more specific, so it all times out.
I’ve been in @CompleteSkeptic's beta for @typesafeai, and I've written a browser extension for it that supports Chrome, Safari, and Firefox on both mobile and desktop.
Here's a quick demo. I also have a blog post in the replies with my thoughts and general experience with Jev!
Came to mind how weird it is that we suddenly ask if things run doom again instead of crysis so I made this meme which is based on google trends plus a tiny bit of artistic touch to add waves.

a good reminder that just because someone states their opinion with intense conviction, does not make it fact. they can come back a year later and state the absolute opposite view with the same conviction.

I’m convinced that a large % of programmers don’t actually like computers.
As a side effect, are also perfectly happy to throw away their reasoning to a model as soon as they can.
I don’t get it, at ALL. Don’t you *LIKE* understanding the magic of the machine?
You do realize hand-programming (I hate that I even have to specify hand now) is fun…right?

I’m happy to announce the release of a new open source 3D physics engine called Box3D. I’ve been working on this project for a few years now, but it represents over 20 years of experience writing physics engines for games. Read more here: box2d.org/posts/2026/06/anno…
