I am frankly terrified of the solutions out there. UGreen seems to be the most reputable. Feels like as fraught an area of hardware as usb-c and thunderbolt docks. #askatp

Does anyone use KVM switches anymore? Pretty sure it’s been 20 years since I needed to. But I’d like to hook up my main monitor to my MacBook and my Mac mini. The MacBook is on a different Apple ID and VPN network for work so that rules out a software solution. I think? Totally willing to live with wires like a caveman. Not willing to have two sets of keyboards and trackpads, and switch between monitor inputs. Is there a one cable USB-C or thunderbolt solution out there? #askatp

There could not be a more opportune time to make a competitor to GitHub, especially one grounded in community and accountability. Git was not meant to be centralized; “pull requests” are not actually an open standard and throwing code over the wall at others is not actually social coding.

@alamedapost The chances of this going somewhere and bringing the crazy to our backyard seem slim, but not zero. 🫣

Alameda PostJun 25, 2025

James Ingallinera founded a company called Frontier Valley less than two weeks ago, and called on President Donald Trump (via a post on X) to declare a national security emergency so he can immediately start building a 512-acre deregulated tech city on Alameda Point. Here's what we know so far. https://alamedapost.com/news/startup-founder-wants-trump-declare-national-emergency-build-deregulated-tech-city-alameda-point/

@daringfireball I certainly knew it was coming. It’s been marketed in front of other kids movies for about a year (?) now. But I just didn’t care. Nor did my kids apparently. Pixar movies used to be destination viewing. For me and my kids. Too much competition? It’s harder to get us all to the movies? They don’t stand out in their tech and storytelling? We want franchises? I don’t know. Makes me sad to realize this though.

@atpfm I have nothing but love for this movie. To the point that I have had this installed for years. https://github.com/bartobri/no-more-secrets Alias all your favorite commands and pipe them in! Nothing more fun. Nothing.

A new ranking from GoDaddy’s Small Business Research Lab (formerly Venture Forward) puts Alameda in the national spotlight, not for its beautiful shoreline or small(ish) town charm, but for its entrepreneurship. GoDaddy ranks Alameda in the top ten most entrepreneurial cities in the United States! https://alamedapost.com/news/size-doesnt-matter-alameda-named-one-americas-most-entrepreneurial-cities-2025/

This has a real “We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs took hold” vibe. https://deplet.ing/the-copilot-delusion/?utm_source=tldrwebdev
