blogged: Github is sinking
https://dbushell.com/2026/04/29/github-is-sinking/

— the people do not yearn for Microsoft products

"we have integrated AI into every orifice of our business"

*product and services crumble*

"it wasn't AI you don't know it was AI why are you blaming AI"

— go on then, one last blog before my holiday 🫩

just dropped in Chrome Canary

hmm... yeah i don't like it 🙃

but also i think browsers should have enforced XHTML - we'd have flying cars by now

this is why we're seeing so much performative slop from those working at big tech

if you ain't in, you're out

"skill" and "skillset" in the context of LLMs is absolute doublespeak, this is DESKILLING

now I'm seeing (once) respected web folk, many considered educators, promote Google's "modern web" shite

it saddens me that general dissent is about process and implementation detail and not, ya know, the absolute moral bankruptcy that is ignoring the victims of this vile tech

AI grifters being fiercely booed by college graduates gives me hope for the future

sigh, can we not?

i'm just never updating software again

I know this is the commercial arm of the BBC but painting Google as the victim of manipulation is disgraceful journalism

hey look! that thing Google wants to standardise as a web platform API made the news!

Sigh.

im gonna have to do a Figma presentation on Thursday and that is heartbreaking for a guy like me

YOLO'd a Proxmox 8 > 9 upgrade with my virtual OPNsense router still running

recklessly even by my standards

proton: You have a meeting in 1 minute

me: spills coffee down my T-shirt

my favourite new Proton Mail bug is iPhone notifications for spam 🫠 to email addresses I have notifications disabled 🫠 🫠

@protonprivacy@mastodon.social someone vibe coding over there, again?

ok i promise, no more slop talk from me!

is Penpot seriously glitchy for anyone else? whenever I move anything with the keyboard, e.g. Shift + Arrow keys the bounding box / rendering goes haywire
