She linked to it on her social media and got the word out to people that know her. I don't think she expected it to 'break containment' like this.

It is also a post located on her own personal website, which naturally contains information about herself and is focussed around herself.

I don't think there is any 'mistake' here.

Shutting down the stores on the PlayStation 3 and PS Vita, too.

New comment by OuterVale in "Free the Icons"

OuterVale — Tue, 30 Jun 2026 01:23:02 +0000

My personal take is that icons should conform to the squircle, but have a permitted amount of break out from the core shape. For example, Audio Hijack’s icon as presented in the article should be allowed to have the microphone extend past the border slightly. The squircle should be mandated as the core shape, but with just tad bit of flexibility and shape definition.

This keeps grids feeling proper, organised, and aligned, without feeling like the icons of Android Honeycomb.

New comment by OuterVale in "Bun has an open PR adding shared-memory threads to JavaScriptCore"

OuterVale — Sun, 21 Jun 2026 05:58:31 +0000

The term was coined by Andrej Karpathy in early 2025 where he wrote:

> There’s a new kind of coding I call “vibe coding”, where you fully give in to the vibes, embrace exponentials, and forget that the code even exists. […] I ask for the dumbest things like “decrease the padding on the sidebar by half” because I’m too lazy to find it. I “Accept All” always, I don’t read the diffs anymore. When I get error messages I just copy paste them in with no comment, usually that fixes it. The code grows beyond my usual comprehension, I’d have to really read through it for a while. Sometimes the LLMs can’t fix a bug so I just work around it or ask for random changes until it goes away. It’s not too bad for throwaway weekend projects, but still quite amusing. I’m building a project or webapp, but it’s not really coding - I just see stuff, say stuff, run stuff, and copy paste stuff, and it mostly works.

Separate projects. Niels Leenheer who made CSS Doom has seen Agustin Capeletto's CSS Quake.

I don't think needlessly straining the Internet Archive's servers is any better.

The most fantastic video I've ever seen created in Microsoft 3D Movie Maker is 'Grandpa Found the Car Keys': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGJKeESLBpQ

A very impressive use of the tool to achieve a pretty impressive amount of style within the limitations.

I'm making my jump over to Tangled, which is built on the AT Protocol (so it uses the same account as Bluesky and others). I'm finding it lovely.

Thanks. That is really nice of you to say.

It is hardly a satisfying answer, but I haven't the foggiest what caused it. I submitted it the same as I've submitted many other submissions in the past.
