had some fun ideas for it, but in light of FUD around RePebble's handling of third-party software, their announcement of a disposable ai smart-ring, and the founder's prior #PivotToAI, i will instead be buying ceramic-powder keycaps + imported switches and building / iterating on my novel keyboard *twice* (kinda-steno, kinda-combos, now: elevated thumb-column instead of adjacent cluster. The tilted profile of the bottom thumb-key is signifigant.)
mom got me a stuffie and pebble pre-order -- aww c:

"The president of the United State just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed.

This is not normal.

We can not allow this to feel normal.

This, as far as I know, has never happened before in the history of the country. Every Democratic member of the Senate and the House, their life is in jeopardy right now, especially those that were specifically targeted by this social media post. Democratic Senators and House members who were simply saying that no member of the military should act illegally or in violation of the Constitution.

The president of the United States just called for members of Congress to be executed.

If you are a person of influence in this country, maybe it's time to pick a fucking side. If you are a Republican in Congress -- if you are a Republican governor -- maybe it's time to draw a line in the sand, and say that under no circumstances should the president of the United States be calling on his opposition to be hanged.

We are in a very dangerous moment right now. The president is engaged in the wholesale incitement, endorsement, and rationalization of political violence in this country. This is a very slippery slope that we are on.

This is a moment for people to step up, for Republicans to step up, for business leaders to step up. Anybody who has a voice or a soapbox in this country needs to draw a line in the sand and say that it is not acceptable for the president of the United States to call on the murder of his political opposition."

And of course, it managed to break a little bit :p
Someone in the GH issues mentioned Edge's "3D View", so I gave that a spin. Much harder on the software rendering, but I like the (relative) variety of modes, settings, and colors -- and the parallax effect when it renders the dozens of animated, transparent (via clip-masks) "star-layer" SVG's into a 3D stack.

#Vivaldi 7.6 header takes me back to booting an old Debian (Wheezy?) ISO to see an "invisible" refactor in Mozilla Tilt -- project page looks like a requirements spec, only edit in 12 years is "in a fun and graphical way[.->!]" 6 years ago. Fun initiative: https://github.com/victorporof/Tilt

yay

WildFrost is great btw
Closer to Monster Train than Slay the Spire, but with brutal punishment of tactical missteps creating a more Balatro or Noita-esque experience of weighing not just your build but your ability to play it

And the more time I spend with it, the more I love the soundtrack and the art: detailed, intentional, and charming throughout.

From elsewhere:

"It's also somewhat mismarketed as a deck builder, I feel. I'd say it's much more similar to a tactical game like IntoTheBreach with huge emphasis on positioning your units properly and tanking hits in the right moment."

"I equate [combos and greeding] to choosing a path to an elite in Slay the Spire, or taking a Trial in Monster Train. Wildfrost doesn't have equivalent choices to be made on the map, so it's in each fight itself that you are faced with the decision to essentially gauge the strength of your situation, and make a judgement call on whether or not you can greed or not"

I don't usually reach for New Tab / Start Page projects, but my SO is using Thunderbird to manage multiple accounts for his budding art career, and I'm quite pleased with having installed ArtfulTab! Every day it loads a piece of fine art from a hard-coded set of WikiMedia IDs. The decently minimal hover-ui still includes title, artist, time period, and often highlights a related art movement!

Nothing wrong with the default call for support, you should support the software you use (and use software you support!). Like in a browser, the home-page gets buried as soon as you're in the weeds -- but it takes up half the screen on startup, the layout isn't really built to just *remove* that panel, and I think this is just so perfect for adding a little something personal to his day (like the Windows lockscreen photos, but wholesome).

It's distributed as an extension that I wasn't able to load into Thunderbird as-is. Rather than learn how to adjust the manifest, I wrote a user-service like `cd $WEBROOT && python3 -m http.server --bind 127.0.0.1 1312` and set the home-page to `http://127.0.0.1:1312/assets/src/entires/newTab/index.html`.
