"GeoTools - a simple geospatial tool" I've been (slowly) creating a simple tool for viewing and editing geospatial data. You can check out my blog post about it here: harrywinser.com/posts/geo-to... #Geo #geospatial #webdev #projects #tech #programming #openlayers #code #GIS

There's marketing, and then there's whatever the f*** this is #Marketing #Duolingo

Different kind of #blog tonight; "To do more, do less" Works I work by, and here's why: harrywinser.com/posts/to-do-... #Blog #Tech #WebDev #Programming #Code

Much better #motorcycles #motorbikes #v7 #motoguzzi

Elon Musk Announces Successful Trial Of Neuralink Brain Detonator theonion.com/elon-mu...

I think Australians underestimate how many Trump supporters there are here. A father of one of my son's friends has a poster of Trump "Fight" in his bedroom. Another friend, a high-end executive, loves Trump's stance on trans women in sports. This terrifies me. Please speak up, but I fear for us

Wanted to try out #Ghostty, but unfortunately the download links are broken (at least for MacOS) - seem to get a 500. Anyone else seeing that? Happens both on Brew Install and via the Website.

New blog post: "This week in JavaScript". This week I'm discussing some of the fun adventures I've had in JS, specifically dates. harrywinser.com/posts/this-w... #JavaScript #WebDev #Blogging #Programming #Code #JS

"Fun" JS fact If you do date.setMonth(10) (sets it to November) & run this function today (31st of Jan), it'll actually set it to Dec. There's a second param, which takes in a day number. If you don't set it, it'll use today, so 31. There aren't 31 days in November, sooo #JavaScript #WebDev #Code

When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.

I've had this idea, somewhere between the SOLID type protocol, and Oauth. Somewhere you can use to verify who you are, but also control your images, personal information, and so on. Anyone know of something like this out there? #WebDev #Tech #programming

Finally got the social banner sorted for thoughtstream.me #notes #WebDev #Apps #WebApp #ThoughtStream.

Continuing my new years resolution of writing a weekly blog. This week is a little review of my M3 MacBook Air, for all those still on the fence. TL;DR - it's awesome. harrywinser.com/posts/macboo... #MacBook #Air #Apple #tech #Reviews

Thought I'd hare my post about my V7 and Me: harrywinser.com/posts/my-mot... #Motorcycles #Blog #Post #motorbike #motoguzzi #v7

Not a single Reform MP has bothered to turn up to today's House of Commons debate on tackling violence against women and girls

Just three social media CEOs posting on their platform today.

“As an editorial cartoonist, my job is to hold powerful people and institutions accountable. For the first time, my editor prevented me from doing that job. So I have decided to leave the Washington Post” — Ann Telnaes, after drawing this cartoon, which included the image of a supplicant Jeff Bezos

Happy new year #bluesky

Seeing so many biker photos on my feed makes me miss mine. Alas, it's been put away for the winter 😓. #motorcycles

Wrote a little New Years quiz which I'll be running for some friends this year. Thought I'd share, incase others wanted to do the same! harrywinser.com/posts/quiz-o... #nye #quiz #year

On the left, my image. On the right, the Al image that was clearly trained on, and designed to plagiarize, my image. All Al generated imagery is inherently theft. It's unethical, environmentally disastrous, and does irreparable harm to both artists and society.

With so many folks posting about THE MUPPETS CHRISTMAS CAROL tonight, it might blow your minds a bit to know that every single costume in the film (human & Muppet alike) was designed by Polly Smith, co-inventor of the sports bra. Merry Christmas!

Managed to sneak in an hour of programming, and got a bit more done on this little side project: geo.harrywinser.com Finally got the reprojections working #Geo #Code #GeoSpatial #OpenMaps #OpenLayers #WebDev

This is right up my ally: A #selfhost bookmark-everything app (links, notes and images) with #AI based automatic tagging and full text search. Even has iOS/Android app, RSS support, REST API and SSO support. #bookmark #opensource github.com/hoarder-app/... #TypeScript

Still maintain that "Ironslag" is the best location name in the Sword Coast. #DandD #Giants #DungeonsAndDragons

it seems we have reached that point in the crypto cycle where huge publications run irresponsible headlines like this one, and the people who see them and buy in get wrecked

We don’t talk enough about how straight up creepy Elon is to women. Like, if you saw him in a bar you’d reflexively put your hand over your drink.

Awww they've removed the night sky splash screen from the #bluesky android app 😓

Stared my day by upgrading an older app to #React 19, only to be ending it by spelunking into old #Java code that's very complex 😮‍💨. Is it christmas yet? #WebDev

While there were endless runners before it, and countless iterations of the endless runner after it, one of the first in the genre was Robot Unicorn Attack.

“Everyone in positions of influence should ask themselves the question: are you treating those fighting to save the planet more harshly than those fighting for inherited wealth? If so, why?” @josiah.writes.news bylinetimes.com/2024/12/12/t...

I released my little side project yesterday: thoughtstream.me !! I've written a little blog to explain more about it, and share some of what the future holds. And if you haven't already, give it a try! It's free! harrywinser.com/posts/though... #blog #thoughtstream #webdev #projects

After far too long, I finally feel ready to share a side project I've been working on for the last few months: thoughtstream.me It's a note taking app with a bit of a twist #WebDev #Programming #Code #Projects

I will never forget the time someone bought the domain name of Guy Fieri’s failed restaurant and posted this fever dream of a menu.

Some new changes in React 19, including `useTransition` - might have a play with that this weekend react.dev/blog/2024/12... #react #javascript #js #webdev

So I heard there was this new RPG going around and I took a look, it looks pretty good. Available in CD and DVD, too, that's always snazzy.
