LNSYon Ford AI hiccups push carmaker to rehire ‘gray beard’ inspectors

It's almost as if success in business has nothing to do with creating actual value in our society, but instead engaging in a death cult ideology of share value maximization, and that means that reasonable people are out competed in this social system by brain dead ideologues or something.

LNSYon Zuckerberg's war on whistleblowers

Remember when Elon Musk introduced Mark Zuckerberg to Jeffery Epstein?

The Zuck has some skeletons in his closet.

LNSYon Ford AI hiccups push carmaker to rehire ‘gray beard’ inspectors

And this is why the C-suite is the single best target for replacement by AI.

LNSYon Ford rehires 350 engineers after AI fails to preserve expertise or train juniors

The only job AI's are capable are doing is the role of executive. I think we should replace every C-Suiter with AI.

LNSYon Building an HTML-first site doubled our users overnight

Of course, and if you use all these services you can be a pedantic ass who never has to actually ship a product.

LNSYon Building an HTML-first site doubled our users overnight

A lot of these tools, like React, are designed to embrace, extend extinguish the web. Why Microslop and Zuckerberg spend millions of dollars of dark PR claiming anyone who doesn't like React doesn't know what's going on is because it makes the web worse and less useful, which means you spend more time talking to Co-Pilot or bots on Facebook.

LNSYon Building an HTML-first site doubled our users overnight

I don't understand how having to pay 20 different vendors so hackers can run commands on your server barely impeded is somehow simpler.

LNSYon Building an HTML-first site doubled our users overnight

I love the web. I hate what the React cretins have done to it.

Embrace Extend Extinguish is real, and the people going along with it deserve to be replaced by a LLM that lies and spits out garbage code just like they do but faster.

LNSYon Building an HTML-first site doubled our users overnight

Because before there was AI Slop, there was React.

LNSYon Trade Dollars with other startups. Book it as revenue

It's legal if you get invited to Epstein parties, illegal for everyone else

LNSYon Higher usage limits for Claude and a compute deal with SpaceX

Too little, too late. I'd rather have a consistent, dumber model than sometimes excellent but often miserable Claude.

Staying with Claude is like going back to the restaurant where you got food poisoning: you kinda get what you deserve next time you get sick.

LNSYon Ombudsman column: The Pentagon is trying to silence me

We've already taken 600,000 lives by being complicit with foreign national Elon Musk's genocide in Africa. Most of them children.

LNSYon Molotov cocktail is hurled at home of Sam Altman

Anti-Semitism is socialism for idiots. Take your nazi shit elsewhere.

LNSYon Just Use HTML

A feature of ES6 I really like are custom HTML components: https://lindseymysse.com/blog/2025/04/23/custom-html-element...

For a lot of internal and personal projects I use a combination of custom HTML elements with XSLT: https://lindseymysse.com/x-s-l-t/

Still requires Javascript, but makes writing HTML a lot more fun.

LNSYon IQ tests results for AI

There's a way to fix this political bias: feed it a bunch of bad code

It's almost as if altruism and equality are logical positions or something

LNSYon I still like Sublime Text

Oooh, or an Obsidian competitor that doesn't take 10 minutes to boot.

Some notetaking app would be amazing

LNSYon I still like Sublime Text

First: I love your software, it is such an inspiration. I have been a fan for more than a decade at a point.

There are two pieces of software I would love you to implement, and I would buy both:

1. Spreadsheet App 2. An AI aware editor like Cursor that uses DeepSeek or equivalent. You could sell a subscription to it like Cursor also.

I think you could make both of these sing.

LNSYon Open Mathematics Depository

nohup wget -r -np https://downloads.tuxfamily.org/openmathdep/

LNSYon Raspberry Pi Pico 2, our new $5 microcontroller board, on sale now

My dream is to have a device about the form factor of a Flipper Zero (with the same buttons) that I can then plug into a e-ink monitor and mechanical keyboard to turn it into a text editor.

I have built a few prototypes with Raspberry Pi Zeros, which are luxurious web servers -- 512mb of ram, capable of utilizing a 2tb sd card.

LNSYon The worst AI-generated artwork we've seen: Symphony Orchestra's Facebook ad fail

If AI images destroy advertising and marketing as industries I'm all for them. Maybe then we could have an economy based on designing, manufacturing and producing goods and services.

LNSYon Tech sector is pouring billions of dollars into AI. It keeps laying off humans

Or we could have a generation of amazing musicians, programmers, painters and social workers.

Have you read David Graeber's Bullshit Jobs? He talks about how a lot of the British music scene of the 60's and 70's was basically funded by social welfare programs. Broke kids having time to hone their craft.

It could be another renaissance
