Meh, Xcode 26.4 requires Tahoe. I had hoped to survive until the fall on my nicer Sequoia. Will stay on 26.3 then for as long as possible.

Software stuff. Aspiring game developer.
Really annoying that the US had to go and close the strait of Hormuz in their utter lack of any form of planning or understanding how things work. Now the whole world has to suffer the consequences. I hope they are proud to be hated by the whole world.
I need a new docking station for my MBP. Something with enough bandwidth to drive a couple displays, GigE, some USB-c and -a. Enough power delivery to charge the MBP. So many options to choose from ranging from 100+€ up to 500+€.
In other news, doing software is a terribly lonely profession if you're totally clueless and lack all forms of social skills. I miss some forum where one could chat about software and the sorry state of the tech world without the pressure of performing professionally. I don't have any form of external context like that. Fortunately my wife is also in software, but I can only bore her so much with my crap.
So when the door at the street level was locked and I would have needed to signal someone to come down and let me in, it was a convenient point to just bail out and go home. I had no business being there with real professionals. I don't even know any of the folks there.
Sometimes things don't work out.
I was supposed to go to a local meetup yesterday. The two talks were about home automation with Go and about starting new embedded software projects in 2026. Both interesting.
But when I came to the place for the meetup I got a massive sense of impostor syndrome. Why should I be there and waste space, I know nothing about home automation nor embedded software?
I used to like using the word "grok" as a slightly fun way to say "understand". But since the fascist-idiot man-baby named his bot Grok that word now feels super negative to me and I don't use it anymore. Bit by bit the US oligarchs ruin everything that was once good in this world.
heh, got a marketing email from RevenueCat for some courses they have. One is "How to make an app people will pay for". Sounds somewhat pointless? You make the app nice enough so that people are willing to pay for it. It should solve a problem they have, be suitably priced and that's basically it.
I will do a Ted talk about this topic later. Also my Soundcloud is below.
Doesn’t Apple’s Mac calendar app have a menubar icon thing? Been using Fantastical and it has an awesome thing that shows everything for the current day and a month overview. It got too expensive though and with the world doing yet another dumbfuck war I need to save on expenses.
