You may have a favorite desktop that you really love and feel passionate about and that’s great, but we should not be putting down other desktops or their developers for having their own way of doing things. They are our colleagues and often our friends. Just about everyone who works on desktop Linux is an expert in their field in one way or another. And everyone is passionate about what they do and cares deeply about the experience they deliver their users.

re @claudeai

I've identified industrial-scale copyright violations on my content by Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, X, and more.

These companies created thousands of crawlers incorporating the text of all my blog posts, open source code, and books into their paid AI models to profit exorbitantly.

Have you heard about #Reticulum? I only heard abt it yesterday. I barely slept in my excitement. A fully functional networking stack, interface agnostic, encrypted by design, and prevents origin tracking. The current is a hot mess!
Two videos I recommend

Better yet, just try Columba, a user-friendly chat app built on top of Reticulum.

I’ve started a new series interviewing type designers on how they got into type and how they stay creatively satisfied. This month, I spoke with Amy Hood of Hoodzpah —

Making Type: Amy Hood of Hoodzpah

I am beyond stoked to have our next installment of Making Type with Amy Hood. I’m unabashedly a fanboy of Hoodzpah and will not stop buying their merch. I’m talking bumper sticker on my car, poster on my office wall, mug for my coffee, hat on my head.

[Repost] Clean YouTube links. When you get a link from YT, it includes an ID tracking back to YOU. It's a "query string" on the end of the URL like this:
...?si=[tracker_ID_here]

This ID allows YouTube (and their owner, Google, and *their* owner, Alphabet, and ALL of their associates) to track the people who click on the link, and the apps they used, back to you, building a network of none-of-their-business.

Good news: DELETE the "?si=..." part & the link works just fine without the tracking.

can't remember where I saw it but "Using AI in education is like using a forklift in the gym. The weights do not actually need to be moved from place to place. That is not the work. The work is what happens within you" is a solid quote
