  1. They don’t wear armbands.
    They wear Patagonia.
    They talk about "efficiency" and "governance"—
    But it’s Yarvin’s neoreactionary vision crawling through their code.

    Authoritarianism has a new face:
    It looks like a founder.

  3. “Levy describes a system that has almost reached perfection. The political echelon wants to maintain the status quo, and the military provides it with legitimacy in exchange for funds and status.”

    “Levy points out the gradual withdrawal of the old Ashkenazi middle class from the ranks of the combat forces[…]:
    • the military’s complete reliance on technology as a decisive factor in warfare;
    • the adoption of the concept […] of an army that is “small and lethal”;
    • the obsession with the idea of #deterrence, which is supposed to negate the other side’s will to fight; and
    • the complete addiction to the status quo as the only possible and desirable state of affairs.”

  4. 🎙️ In a groundbreaking revelation, 31,000 radio enthusiasts will once again pretend it's 1925 instead of 2025 by fiddling with antennas and "ham" radios in the woods. 🍖🚀 It's like Coachella for people who think Morse code is the peak of modern communication. 📞🔥

  5. Opening the newspaper and searching for your ID number to look up your #Matric results has always been such an institution in #SouthAfrica, but that's about to end: techcentral.co.za/matric-resul

    On the one hand, it's a real shame. On the other, I can understand how it's necessary in this day and age, with all these #privacy concerns and so many underhanded people out there. Still, end of an era. :/

  6. 🦜 Ah, the age-old ritual of coding interviews, where #FizzBuzz is summoned like the ghost of programming past. 🧙‍♂️ Our hero bravely faces Dana, the interviewer, with a magical incantation of #JavaScript gibberish that might impress a flock of birds, but not a single human. 🐦✨

  8. 🎉 Happy Easter - Show me your Easter eggs :)
    I have a 15-year-old homepage with a hidden chat from an old game 👉 yuna.berlin
    Guess the game?

    Easter: a seasonal reminder that most companies have the imagination of a beige wall.
    Let’s talk software Easter eggs – tiny sparks of joy buried under layers of Jira tickets.

    If your product has none?
    Congratulations. Your engineers are either chained in the feature factory…
    or your company is too visionless to let them play.

    Examples of fun companies:
    🐍 Snake while YouTube buffers
    🎮 GitHub mobile mini-game
    🙃 Blame-someone error pages

    Your product?
    ❌ No dark mode
    ❌ No gamification
    ❌ No clever errors
    ❌ No i18n
    ❌ No responsive design
    ❌ No joy

    But hey, Time to Market, right?
    You’re not innovating. You’re duct-taping compliance machines.

    No Easter eggs = No creative freedom
    No themed UI = No empathy
    No jokes = No soul
    No dev input = No ownership

    You’re not building software.
    You’re crafting digital despair.

    Fix it. Or at least add a theme toggle.

    💀 Happy Easter.
    Go find your soul.

  15. Oooh, this issue of #sport broadcasting rights in #SouthAfrica is heating up fast!

    "This is a very friendly warning," said our sport minister. "Fix this thing before we declare war!"
