Captain’s Log: System Upgrade Complete. 🖖🛰️

Pushed the engines to Warp Factor 9 with the #COSMIC Desktop. Moving my dev workflow to a Rust-based DE has been a revelation in speed and stability. 🐧🦀

In this log:
🔹 Ergonomics of auto-tiling
🔹 Building a workflow that stays out of your way
🔹 Performance as a feature

It’s the first time a Linux desktop has felt this intentional. Come see the bridge config:

Warp Factor 9: My Daily Dev Workflow on the COSMIC Desktop - dominickm.com

Captain’s Log, Stardate 2026.86. Back in February, I made a bold claim: 2026 is the Year of the Linux Desktop, and opinionated software like COSMIC is the warp drive we’ve been waiting for. It’s one thing to talk about theoretical warp speeds in a review, but it’s another to actually sit in the captain’s chair, […]

Interesting piece about supermarket theft and its intersection with the cost of living crisis. I shake my head at supermarkets installing customer-hostile security measures, when they could just reinstate staffed checkouts. (Also their dodgy behaviour over illusory discounts hasn't won them any friends.)

Inside supermarket surveillance measures

Australian retail crime costs an estimated $9 billion a year. It is a growing problem, with 70 per cent of retailers reporting increased theft in 2024/25. Total retail loss includes “shrink” – goods lost between manufacture and point of sale – internal theft and vendor fraud. The biggest contributor by far, though, is theft by customers or other third parties.

There is only a certain level of chaos and opportunistic disorder that even very good intelligence analysts can predict right now. Anyone could be hit by an attack of opportunity, a mistake, or be a supply vector. Australia’s geopolitical involvement could rapidly change. Raise your defences.
