RIP Kris Nóva. I had her on the show and was blessed to spend time with her just a few months ago. She was a genius and made things better. https://youtu.be/nJSxRqJ2kgQ?si=3ei04Z3MmJan3XsC life is short. Focus on your friends and family and your health. Everything is fleeting.

It is with immense sadness that we must share with you the news of the loss of our friend, our leader, and our mentor, Kris Nóva.

It was Nóva who inspired us to come together to build Hachyderm, whose vision created Nivenly, and whose mission we continue to carry forward. In her working life beyond Nivenly, she has left behind a legacy of professionalism and strength of vision, and we all miss her terribly.

This LK99 business reminds me of mooligai petrol
Literally just did a ‘Wake up baby there is a coup happening in Russia’
https://literal.club feels like a nice looking Goodreads alternative. I like the emphasis on a good API. Storygraph did not work for me because of the over emphasis on its recommendations.
Literal

Literal is the best platform to collectively explore the ideas of the world's greatest authors.

I haven’t played any D&D so that is not a requirement to enjoy it I guess. Though I did know that it involves players assuming the role of different characters with specialised traits and you go on quests together and build a story as you go along. The film captures the feeling of spinning a yarn quite well. Also such a relief that there was no hint of a cinematic universe or some such thing.
Enjoyed watching Dungeons & Dragons: Honour Among Thieves. Good fun! Chris pine is the best Chris.
Trying out Zed. Refreshing to see a code editor focus on performance and compete with Sublime Text. It is still in beta but felt right at home with the default settings which is a great sign https://zed.dev/
Zed — Love your editor again

Zed is a high-performance, multiplayer code editor from the creators of Atom and Tree-sitter.

Attended a wedding where the couple met on clubhouse. I feel old. I have a theory that if you are building any app, and it could even be some military grade enterprise level serious app, if it has a feature where one person can send a message to another person privately, it is a dating app.
