I don't know why people become pediatric doctorz but I'm really fucking grateful that they do. I could never.

Does the world need 164,000 web pages about manganese modules?

Someone else use this so that I stop spending money, please

The blind rage I feel at these guys... I hope they all fell off the bridge on their march.

Porto, Portugal - 10 June 2025. Portuguese fascists. No sense. No shame. "Their faces are all different, ours are all the same." Inbreeding since 1143 isn't the flex you think it is, plankton-brain scum.

Something is happening in Portugal.

Automatic fire shutter in operation Or Automatic fire-shutter in operation?

Tell a Blazor horror story in under 5 words: "Multi-select input control"

Woo, new Katatonia album in 2 days' time. 🤘

Node.js has been enjoying a steady increase in download and installation rates. It's true, just last week I downloaded it 4 times while setting up my new dev PC at work.

What do you call a limited Identity Provider? LIP service. (the other joke was better, I know)

What do you call it when an Identity Provider waives proper checks? A token gesture.

I fixed my build issue in Visual Studio... ...by installing Rider and building my solution there, instead. Microsoft: 0 JetBrains: 1

🎤 *tap tap* ...Is this thing on? #notsorry

Nietzsche was vehemently opposed to deploying monoliths, thus spoke Zarathustra.

We all know that there's a lot wrong with Windows 11. Personally, I can't forgive them for getting rid of taskbar toolbars. But the WORST thing is the indented folder labels. What the hell is up with this?

Toppo Gigio is drunk. Eurovision is especially bonkers this year.
