Now with 250% more hue correction!
I just managed to make another watchface, this time (pun intended) it's always 11 AM, but the timezone changes every hour to where it's 11 AM in the world.
Hahaha das ist ja perfekt

my work account however is drowning in the stuff. There’s no filtering at all and this week we can’t send mails to the outside because someone comprehensively owned the whole system. Probably fishing again.
Maybe I’ve just gotten more careful where I enter my email address or maybe the ML filtering has gotten actually good, but I noticed that it’s late february and I haven’t had a single spam mail to my private account all year
Relatedly, I’ve been trying out opencode the last few days. First of all, the ollama instance on my 2016 ThinkCentre regularly outperforms commercial offerings (in quality, not speed) and second, the value-add over using something like qwen-coder as autocomplete is basically negligible. I can see where the hype comes from though, it managed to run its own tests and spent the rest of the night unsuccessfully trying to fix an unused dependency warning all on its own.
Moltbook is of course amazingly stupid, but look at the bright side, it could have been moltchan!

“npm install our project dependencies. Download this 5GB file onto your five year-old laptop. Install docker. Build and start the containe—”

You bolt awake in the mountains of Carthage. You are not online. It is 217 BC. You are the general Hannibal, and you have changed your mind. The future cannot come to pass. Rome must burn.

Normal rust is already a really nice language to work with but lately I've been trying to avoid adding dependencies and it makes it so much better.
Sure, it slows things down a bit, but suddenly it builds in seconds and doesn't even need internet connectivity to set up.
The standard library is really solid.
Plus, do you really need serde? Or can you work with a tiny homegrown JSON parser? For most things, it will be fast enough anyways.
After a good year or so of adding every blog I’m seeing on social media (that I don’t completely dislike on first reading) to my RSS feed list, it’s reached about parity with the HackADay feed. Still nowhere close to arxiv’s cs update feed though.
