tl;dr a rant about new accounts advertising their vibe coded projects.

Since a couple of weeks I notice more and more brandnew accounts from various instances joining the threadiverse, just to post about their new service, software or game "they built".

No you didn't built this!

Every time I looked into the repo (if provided) there was a fucking AGENTS.md telling a clanker what to do.

And now you're coming in here. You don't care about the community you post in. You don't want to participate and contribute to this place. Your first post is a fucking ad for your new thing that "you've built".

But you didn't built it!

I'm not a full stack developer, but I've worked alongside developers who built amazing stuff for the free and open web. The lenghty discussions about wether a feature should be implemented this or that way, the long nights of trying to get a feature ready, only to throw it all away the next day because you realized it wasn't that good of an idea after all. It's hard work.

You just had a quick idea, told the billionaire bot what to do, and vomited out thousands of lines of code in a couple hours.

No, I won't check out your new thing that "you made".

And that's the sad part. Open source used to be fun. Discovering new stuff that others had built, giving it a try and maybe finding a small bug and opening a pull request. That feeling of working together on something that can be used by everyone, despite not knowing each other.

You don't have any of that. And you don't deserve my attention, because you didn't build anything.

Choking down that protein

Momma said that this is breakfast take it or leave it.

Spending time in July with these little burrowing owls is always a highlight of the summer.

Always gives us a good excuse to visit the badlands in South Dakota

The badlands is home to a lot of wildlife but the transient owls are by far our favs.

Have you ever been to the badlands? What wildlife did you enjoy there?

I'm not even going to lie, sometimes this field makes you forget just how incredible the animals in front of you really are. You see so much heartbreak, and so many impossible injuries, that you start bracing yourself for the worst instead of hoping for the best.

People ask me all the time, "What's the coolest animal you've ever had?" And I never know how to answer. The alligator Kelsey transported to Michigan? A Great Blue Heron with a fishing hook in it? A river otter?

Lately, my answer is a perfectly ordinary male barred owl. Not particularly big. Not particularly flashy. But for a while, I genuinely didn't think he'd ever fly again.

Originally brought to us by VEG with a suspected soft tissue injury, further veterinary examination revealed something far worse. Affectionately named Hootie by our veterinary partners, this owl had a nasty fracture and dislocation involving his wrist. His radius, ulna, and wrist joint had apparently decided they weren't

interested in working together anymore.

For an owl, flight is everything. His initial X-rays gave us very little reason to believe he'd ever return to the wild.

But Hootie had other plans.

Follow-up X-rays showed healing. Not perfect healing, because with an injury like that, perfect wasn't really on the table. But enough to give us hope.

And wouldn't you know it? He flew. Not an awkward flutter, either. Actual, controlled, beautifully quiet barred owl flight.

Hootie has passed his flight assessments, and we're hoping he can return to the wild while barred owls are calling to one another this fall.

Sometimes the most incredible animals aren't the rare ones. Sometimes they're the ordinary ones who surprise the heck out of you.

Thank you to Dr. M for his initial diagnosis and dedicated care, Dr. C for his continued evaluations and outdoor assessments, our raptor expert for her guidance and support, and AAA Exterminating for helping build the flight cage this year.

Newest admit...another Great Horned Owl found grounded in Lynchburg, TN. We have named him Jack since he was found at Jack Daniel's Distillery. He is being treated for frounce, anemia, and secondary poisoning. We are hopeful he will make a full recovery.

Frounce, aka tricomononosis, is an illness caused by protozoa. It causes plaque-like buildup in the mouth and throat that can make eating, swallowing , and breathing difficult.

That is all

The other firms being suspended from the program include Capgemini, Cognizant, HCL, Infosys, Tata, and Wipro.

An orphanage that sheltered 300 children, an award-winning school for nomad girls and a crowdfunded village school have all been closed in the space of a few weeks.

Chinese authorities have shut down at least three privately run Tibetan schools in Golog Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture since late August 2026, according to sources in the region cited by the Central Tibetan Administration’s Department of Information and International Relations (DIIR). All three were in Machen (Maqin) County. Together they taught well over a thousand Tibetan children in their own language. Those children are now being moved into state-run, Mandarin-medium institutions.

Sources say the closures are part of a deliberate drive to bring Tibetan children into government schools, where assimilation and political “re-education” are easier to enforce. Because phone and internet communications in the region are tightly monitored, news of each closure has taken weeks to reach the outside world.

[...]

On 2 September, authorities closed the Golog Tadrak Orphan School in Tabo Village. Founded in 2005 with support from the late Dr. Tawu Lobsang Palden and his wife, who lived in Germany, the school was both a home and a classroom for more than 300 children who had lost their parents or come from broken families. For these children, the school was their family, and Tibetan was the language of that family.

[...]

Days earlier, on 27 August, the Ra-Gya Jigme Gyaltsen Grassland Girls’ School (also known as Gangjong Tsathang Girls’ School) was forced to close. Established on 15 October 2005, it served around 800 girls from nomadic herding families across all three traditional Tibetan regions, Ü-Tsang, Kham and Amdo, with about 100 teachers and staff.

[...]

At the end of August, the Jasak village school in Ra-Gya Town was closed after officials verbally told staff that teaching in Tibetan was unacceptable. They were instructed to teach only in the “national common language”, meaning Mandarin Chinese. Villagers had founded the school themselves and kept it alive through crowdfunding so their children would grow up literate in Tibetan. Its roughly 300 students were sent to government boarding schools.

[...]

Not isolated incidents

These closures continue a pattern that has been building in Golog for years:

• July 2021: Sengdruk Taktse School closed, followed by orders shutting seven more private schools in Darlag, Machen, Gade and Chikdril counties.
• 2024: Ra-Gya Gangjong Sherig Norbu Lobling School closed.
• 24 June 2026: Hungkar Dorje Vocational High School, which had taught Tibetan language and culture since 2008, permanently shut.
• August–September 2026: Tadrak Orphan School, Ra-Gya Girls’ School and Jasak village school closed.

Each closure removes another independent space where Tibetan children can learn in their mother tongue.

[...]

In 2023, UN human rights experts warned that China’s colonial-style boarding school system already held around one million Tibetan children and described it as a policy of “forced assimilation.” The Golog closures push more children into that system.
