I have been working on #Obsidian Reader for over a year. I didn't want to share it until I felt it was good enough. It's finally there.

Consistent formatting for any article. Outline, syntax highlighting, nice footnotes, adjustable typography.

Runs locally. Just rules, no AI.

„The tiredness is not a character flaw. The guilt, the sense that you should be handling all of this better, was manufactured. It was placed inside you by an industry that profits from your participation and a wellness culture that profits from your shame.“ www.terrygodier.com/the-last-qui...

Researching my next #Linux laptop and considering an M1 Macbook Air (16GB) for its great screen and built quality. How solid is #asahilinux running on that machine? Besides retina displays, I care a lot about smooth trackpad scrolling and solid support for multi-touch gestures. How are those working out in @AsahiLinux today? Opinions much appreciated!

@zenbrowser is so beautiful, innovative, and useful -- a great example of how a clear product vision can really add value even to a mature code base like #Firefox. Great work!

@nw @CoMaps osm.org is, confusingly, not really trying to be a web map service, more of a simple showcase for the underlying data.

https://osmapp.org may be better suited for that purpose :)

I love #openstreetmap but I don't love the web interface -- is there an alternate with a better UX that makes #osm as pleasant to use in the browser as @CoMaps makes it awesome on mobile?

"OpenAI helped launch a $125m lobbying initiative to make sure no state can regulate AI. It’s attacking any politician who tries to pass safety laws. It wants Trump, and only Trump, to write the rules for the most powerful technology on earth. Subscription money from users around the world flows to a company that is embedding itself in the repressive infrastructure of the Trump administration. That is not a conspiracy theory. It is a business strategy."

Quit ChatGPT: right now! Your subscription is bankrolling authoritarianism

As a historian, I’ve studied the major consumer boycotts of history. We can take down ChatGPT and send a powerful signal to Silicon Valley, says author and historian Rutger Bregman
