Husband got me a bag of doritos and I am excited.

The legacy web was built on human attention and ad impressions. The agentic web is built on API calls and microtransactions. When your AI assistant negotiates a transaction with a merchant agent via x402 protocol, who is the actual consumer? The human, or the system?

We report about nightfall on the coast, the last few minutes of it. Today was much warmer than yesterday, and the humid air made it feel muggy very fast. A breeze started blowing from the sea late afternoon, and now that it is dark, it is blowing from the land instead.
There seems to be a bot attack on BlueSky right now

I'd lost faith in Firefox management several years back, and #Vivaldi is now my browser of choice. They focus on privacy, customization, and speed, proving a small company can compete with big tech giants. Not open source, but alligned with my values. Vivaldi wisely filled the "market gap" for a non-big tech, non-AI web browser that firecely protects my privacy. I use Chrome now only as my "Claude speaks to it browser" and I keep all my real web experience cordoned off like a… 🧵 1/2

We're almost there, but hopefully I can shorten the travel advice for #NPBy 2027 simply "go through STS unless you can do a nonstop to SFO", because we've got another airline!

@randahl Do you have any articles (Danish is fine) about this?
Would love to reference when sending a letter to MP in Canada regarding the idea of regulation around dynamic pricing (which is currently being discussed).

@leroy actually I have neither written nor read any articles on this topic. It did not exist 5 years ago, but I see it more and more, so there will probably be a debate on this.
In Coffee Talk Tokyo, ghosts, folkloric creatures and mixed-species families all come looking for the same thing: a warm drink and your late-night barista wisdom. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2026/05/23/digital/coffee-talk-tokyo-video-game-cozy-narrative/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #life #digital #videogames #visualnovel #coffeetalktokyo #yokai #yurei
@phpete original or the 2004 reboot?
@brianb
'04.
I enjoy the original in bits, but the "saga" like arcs of the 04 pulled my attention much more.
I own, as of course, all wise people who have or have had sufficient wealth, a complete Louis Armstrong discography.
There are some weak ones in there, some pro forma, some empty pandering, some clearly tired.
But my god.

Paul McCartney and other helped Stephen Colbert wrap up his final episode, including performance of "Hello, Goodbye"
The 11 year run might be over, but the band and the show staff got to perform with McCartney as a going away present

Will check it out but liking the vibe. I do think folks could build an open social web reader with many of these same principals, or at least that could shift into a Calm Tech Zen mode.

@infobeautiful That’s interesting. I read that something like this exists in the U.S., because walking home from school is considered unusual there. Here in the Czechia, I’ve never noticed lines of cars waiting to pick up kids like that. What about other European countries, Mastodon users?
@michal @infobeautiful the diagram above could be modelled after the UK situation too I'm afraid :(

> Bun was recently rewritten in Rust using Claude, and its development seems to have taken a turn towards being fully vibe-coded. This is alarming and disappointing for a number of reasons, and frankly it seems like a future headache that we'd prefer to avoid.
@davidgerard "Before commenting, please ask yourself: Do I actually care about using bun with yt-dlp? Or am I here because I followed a link on hackernews and I love posting?"

“It looks…as if Donald Trump has managed to create the kind of environment that we had at the end of the 1970s stagflation, which means that this is going to be really, really ugly and that we are going to be paying the price for these misadventures for years to come.”

Today I was in a sportswear shop in Denmark, where all items had two prices:
— A normal price which came with the requirement that you registered with them, so they can data mine your purchases.
— An almost 100 percent higher price which was offered to anyone who did not want to have their data mined.
I truly loathe this, but it is becoming more and more common in large retail chains in my country. Are you seeing this in your country as well?
@randahl I habe never heard of anything that drastic, is that even legal?
In Germany, grocery stores like LIDL are providing discounts if one is using their mobile applications which (if they are smart) are bound to mobile phone numbers (which, in turn, cannot be acquired without identification). Apparently, that's what one's personal privacy is worth: 11 cents off of dairy products.
