Elon having a normal one.
We’ve all probably heard about Elon Musk and the message he sent to advertisers. Personally I think that Ari Melber is being far to generous as to the motivations behind what Elon said when he was interviewed at the New York Times DealBook Summit. I’m a great believer in Occam’s razor – “the simplest answer…

What is said on the election campaign trail vs the reality of being in government.
Below are two videos talking about the fiscal direction of New Zealand and changes – watch both of them then compare what they have said, now that they’re in government, when compared to what was said on the campaign trail because I think what you’re going to find is that the sort of rhetoric about…

Conservatives really do love playing the victim.
For those who haven’t been keeping up with the latest ‘trend’ on the right I’m unfortunately going to take away the small joy that you have because you didn’t know about this phenomenon. The phenomenon I am referring to is the whole ‘trad wife’ (aka ‘traditional wife’) movement and like all movements that start online…

Rick Santorum’s grizzle and whinge.
Once again we have conservatives in the US complain when they don’t get the outcome they wanted (link) while being being obscenely hypocritical in the process. Does anyone remember almost two decades ago when conservatives were touting the merits of democracy regarding same sex marriage and how it should be left up to the voter…

Just checking out the latest Interop 2023 and it appears that Firefox development is advancing at a steady pace (link) such as the :has() CSS pseudo-class which has performance benefits particularly if you’re using content blockers that take advantage of it. It’ll be interesting to watch as the gap in functionality closes. This will become…

A collection of interesting
WebAssembly Garbage Collection is being worked on for Safari (link) as they make changes bit by bit. It’ll be interesting to see how Webextensions in the future will make use of WebAssembly Garbage Collection not to mention the increase in complexity of web based applications requiring a sophisticated framework so that a great experience can…

Deep breath followed by a sigh.
Almost the end of another week, I was hoping to get 20-26 December off from work but I’ve been dragged back into doing a shift on Christmas eve. I wanted the day off but what I might do is ask for a couple of days on the other side so I end up getting off…

Almost the end of the week.
Apple released a series of updates for all their platforms with the system firmware and wifi firmware being updated with the latest update with many security bugs being fixed in macOS (link) along with bumping the Safari version from 17 to 17.1. There have been some improvements in Webextesions support, there is still a lot…

End of a long week.
The week felt a lot longer than normal but it went off without a hitch. Over the last few weeks I’ve been getting things organised for a big OE (overseas experience) to Europe and the UK. I’ve been fluffing around for years and I think this is the time I really should make use of…

New Zealand election post-mortem.
Although we won’t have an official final result until 3 November, by then all the special votes would have been counted, it is clear that New Zealand voted for change. With this vote for change the internet has been over whelemed with hot takes, bad takes and a whole lot of cope with people reading…
