This is how much Anthropic and Cursor spend on Amazon Web Services
I can exclusively reveal today Anthropicâs spending on Amazon Web Services for the entirety of 2024, and for every month in 2025 up until September, and that that Anthropicâs spend on compute far exceeds that previously reported. Furthermore, I can confirm that through September, Anthropic has spent more than 100% of its estimated revenue (based on reporting in the last year) on Amazon Web Services ⊠â Read more
Why I Still Use jQuery
jQuery is a household name among web developers who have been around the block. Initially released in 2006, it took the web development world by storm with its easy and intuitive syntax for navigating a document, selecting DOM elements, handling events, and making AJAX requests. At its peak in 2015, jQuery featured on 62.7 percent⊠â Read more

My open letter, to the European Commission digital markets act team:
†Read More
@movq@www.uninformativ.de I submitted it via the form on their website (https://digital-markets-act.ec.europa.eu/contact-dma-team_en) and got the following response:
Dear citizen,
Thank you for contacting us and sharing your concerns regarding the impact of Googleâs plans to introduce a developer verification process on Android. We appreciate that you have chosen to contact us, as we welcome feedback from interested parties.
As you may be aware, the Digital Markets Act (âDMAâ) obliges gatekeepers like Google to effectively allow the distribution of apps on their operating system through third party app stores or the web. At the same time, the DMA also permits Google to introduce strictly necessary and proportionate measures to ensure that third-party software apps or app stores do not endanger the integrity of the hardware or operating system or to enable end users to effectively protect security.
We have taken note of your concerns and, while we cannot comment on ongoing dialogue with gatekeepers, these considerations will form part of our assessment of the justifications for the verification process provided by Google.
Kind regards,
The DMA Team

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com No worries, all good, mate! We all have to start somewhere. Other software requests my feed several orders of magnitude more often.
I can confirm, the User-Agent header appears to be fixed. \o/
Two other things I noticed, though:
Thereâs now an
OPTIONSrequest for my feed coming from something that claims to be Firefox, pointing to your feed URL in the query. No clue what this is about. In any case, itâs rejected with a405 Method Not Allowed.Not that these few requests bother me at all, but you might wanna implement caching next with either the
If-Modified-SinceorIf-None-Matchrequest headers. This way, if the feed hasnât changed, the web server can reply with a304 Not Modifiedand no body at all, saving unnecessary traffic. But again, this is really not an issue for me at all. I just wanted to make sure youâre aware of it, thatâs all. It might be even already on your agenda. Or you might decide to never do anything about it, which is also fine for me. :-)

@zvava@twtxt.net Not much of a known fact these days, but thereused to be a Yarn phone app (https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/app), last version released 5 or so years ago, but it still suggests, it has to be somewhat feasable, to make another one. I donât think anyone tried since, because the web version works well on phones, but Iâm still hoping, we get a more native phone experience, one day.

@movq this seems like a bit of an overkill, that would also harm modding and power users - who often need to see the exact implementation of new features and benefit from the ability to pull up the history of code changes, in their browser. Sure they could clone the repo and do that locally, but if it has dependencies, they'd also have to clone those, to see how those get updated and it'd soon be a mess.

@thecanine@twtxt.net Iâd expect especially power users not to use the web frontend. Unfortunately, in order to submit MR reviews thatâs very often just the only option.
Dear dev.alessandrocutolo.it, do you really need to fetch my twtxt feed every 20-30 seconds? đ
Not that itâs posing a problem, but I feel like this could be optimized. For example, how about using the if-modified-since request header: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Reference/Headers/If-Modified-Since

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Oh dear, nobody needs bot attacks. :-( Luckily, the web server responding a hell lot quicker today than the last two days.
Now thatâs interesting. Some of these bots start crawling at URLs like this:
That is obviously completely wrong. But I can explain it. Some years ago, I screwed up my nginx rewrite rules, and thatâs how these broken URLs came to be.
It all redirects to /git now, which is why that endpoint sees so much traffic lately.
But what does that mean? Why do they start there? I can only speculate that this company bought an old database of web links and they use that to start crawling. And it was probably a cheap one, because these redirects have been fixed for quite a long time now.

Whatâs Missing from âRetroâ: gopher://midnight.pub/0/posts/2679
†Read More
@movq@www.uninformativ.de having to go to a gopher proxy to see a text document better served on readily available web servers⊠đ€, but I digress. Verbatim text:
What's Missing from "Retro"
~softwarepagan
------------------------------------------------------------------
You know, often, when I say I miss older ways of computing or
connecting online, people tell me "there's nothing stopping you
from doing that now!" and they are technicay correct in most cases
(though I can't, for example, chat with friends on MSN ever
again...) However, let me explain that while this type of thing can
*sort of* fill that hole in my heart, it isn't *the same.*
Say, for example, I wanted to connect with others over a BBS. This
wouldn't offer the same types of connections it used to. While
there are BBSes around with active users, they're no longer there
to discuss movies, Star Trek, D&D, games, etc. They're there to
discuss *BBSes.* The same can be said for Gopher, old-school forums
and all sorts of revival projects (such as Escargot, Spacehey,
etc.) Retrocomputing enthusiasts, while they have a variety of
interests, are often in these spaces to discuss the medium itself
and not other topics. This exists at a stark contrast from how
things were in the past, where a non-tech-inclined person may learn
the tech to connect with likeminded others (as I did as a
Zelda-obsessed kid.)
The same can be said of old media. People will say "well, nobody is
stopping you from watching old shows/movies now!" Again, they are
technically correct. I can go home right now and watch *Star Trek:
The Next Generation* to my heart's content. It will never again,
however, be current, or new. When something is new, it serves as a
shared cultural experience. Remember how "Game of Thrones* felt in
the mid-to-late 2010s? Yeah, that.
It's sad. I sustain myself on a mixed diet of old things, new
things, and new things intended for old millenials like me who like
old things. It can be bittersweet.

Twtxt as a network is so neat. Sucks it isn't more widely adopted ): I feel like it'd be way easier to host than say, mastodon or GTS. & would require WAYYYY less resources. Not a diss on GTS, I love GTS , just saying because it's text files, I assume the minimum amount of ram needed to host any of the twtxt server software is very low.
