It's pencils down, people. Writing code by hand is no longer an economically viable skill for most programmers at most companies. But the future of making software has never been brighter. Don't you dare black pill this beautiful moment! youtu.be/vDjW_dRyKXY?si=6Fsf…

You'd think the land of the free would have just one major newspaper excited for the most amazing feats of the nation.

I normally listen to electronic music with few or repeating lyrics when needing to focus, but I've found that a looping Gregorian chant also does the trick! open.spotify.com/track/0xUL1…

The paper of record for the perpetually offended. How did journalism get reduced to this?

To get League of Legends and Valorant onto Omarchy, it'll help to have good friends at Tencent!

I bet this read like a banger in Brussels at the time.
The battle of narratives is going strong. Our countries are a recurring target. It is time to act to tell the stories that make us strong. Let’s live our own story! Protect what matters - our democracy.

J’ai entendu dire que la France était finie, qu’il était trop tard pour la sauver. Mais la France est toujours aussi belle, enviable même. Sa grandeur n’a pas disparu, elle ne demande qu’à renaître. Nous avons surmonté en un an un problème cent fois plus grave, sans avoir les moyens dont dispose la France. La France pourrait y arriver en une semaine.

I lived in this delusion for many years. The sweet summer child of a high-trust, homogenous upbringing. Beautiful innocence, really. Wish I could have it back. But now I own a 9mm and a .45 instead.
Do people in Europe understand now why Americans “cling to their guns”?

As much as I respect Chinese-made AI models and hardware, I'm equally puzzled by how rough most of the software still is. Whether it's Wechat or Alipay or HarmonyOS. You'd think getting unique aesthetics, perfect fidelity, and great flows would be "easy", but clearly it is not.

The spells were already spent back in 2024, but there are still little fringe pockets on X hoping they can conjure another magic cancelation. Maybe if they chant "racist" or "fascist" a little louder than last time, the good old days of 2020 will return? world.hey.com/dhh/the-spells…

Poland would be a great choice for the first European Omacon conference! I feel embarrassed to say I've not yet been. This would be a great excuse to correct that mistake!
🇵🇱 Warsaw is Poland's biggest city and it is completely safe at 1am at night No violent junkies, no drug dealers, no street thugs hanging around harassing women (and men), no pickpockets (nor in the day btw) No shady people hanging around the train and metro stations Just people living chill together and police enforcing safety You know like we used to in Western Europe? There's a lot to learn from Poland

I'd never heard of the Chinese car brand that just drove us back to the hotel in Shenzhen, but the interior was as nice or nicer than a top-spec Mercedes S class and the 20-minute drive was $6. Germany should be very worried indeed.

Remember, if you need a specific app on Omarchy, you can just ask for one, no matter how niche it might be. I wanted an easy way to keep track of the racing championships I follow - so Codex built it within.. 5 minutes? Any niche stuff you've built? Drop it in the comments!

We climbed Krakus Mound in Krakow with @staskulesh!!! Very cool I think it's Pagan but nobody really knows why it's here, it's a man made "mound", like a pile of land It's very old! 🇵🇱

This didn’t age well. Husband went for a run today and got a face full of tear gas. Rioters and very intense police presence everywhere.
Reminder x1000 Twitter isn’t real life. Whatever “riots” there are in Paris must be siloed to one side street. Been here for days and it’s been peace quiet and sunshine.
