- greatly aggrieved that our capitalist society does not support my life goal of being a big toasty cinnamon bun
- In a time where the industry is dominated by AI hype and ruthless capitalism, @ffconf.org never fails to remind us of the human side of tech. I hope we never lose that!
- Dogs rule, cats drool #ffconf
- This is one of my biggest gripes with AI generated code. People don't understand what they're committing and that's so dangerous. #ffconf with @jesslynnrose.bsky.social & @edaeren.bsky.social

- For anyone at #ffconf looking for alternative news sources I also recommend @404media.co
- In 2019, @laurakalbag.bsky.social gave a talk at #ffconf that convinced me to drop Google where possible, and I've been a Fastmail user since. Today, @chetbox.com is giving the spiritual successor to that talk, exploring Big Tech's influence over politics, our data, and the oversaturation of AI
- The first talk of the day at #ffconf highlighted the still-abysmal gender and ethnicity disparity in the tech industry. As long as data is compiled and processed by a non-diverse group, we can't train models and build products that could ever be anything but biased.
- There's still things that catch me by surprise now, even though they probably shouldn't. A cool new retro coding magazine where the entire contributor list is bearded white dudes. More men named Chris than women in an engineering team. An entirely white speaker panel.
- It's #ffconf day!!!!
- I can't recommend this conf enough and I'm sad it's the last one! Don't miss out!
- Help us go out with a bang and join on a journey through new techniques, accessibility, web animation, and human connection in a world of increasingly weird and wonderful AI. Tickets: ti.to/hey-presents... More info: heypresents.com/conferences/...

- Just built my first scroll-driven animation for production and you BET I got that dopamine when it worked
- honestly amazed at how easy it was
- "It's very clear that a lot of the new AI era is about dismantling the web's original design... a new Internet where there's no concept of consent for either users or those who create content and culture — everything is just raw materials, and all of us are fair game."
- Imagine a browser where you type in “Taylor Swift” and it doesn’t even admit that her website exists. I write about Atlas, ChatGPT’s new anti-web browser that should come with a warning label. www.anildash.com/2025/10/22/a...
- @piccalil.li hello! I have been using JS for a long time, will there be things I can get out of JS for Everyone? (The name suggests yes). I want to know the weird stuff, basically
- My dog jingles a string of bells to be let outside but she's started doing it while we're eating breakfast in the hopes we'll leave our food unattended to go and open the back door
- I don't know if I'm ready for Bloodlines 2 to be mediocre. I love the original so much even with its slightly-unfinished jankiness and patience-testing sewer level.
- If you can't play as a Malkavian what's the pointtttt
