Discord is not a documentation platform. It is a chat platform. If your project requires connecting to a discord to obtain necessary information, then your project is undocumented.

I see a lot of grumbling about Tahoe. The icons suck. Liquid glass doesn’t work on the desktop. Etc. If you need Xcode for your job, you’re stuck and you have my sympathy. But if you don’t need Mac-only software, you should really give Linux a chance.

I know. Insert your own “Linux on the desktop” joke here. But if you haven’t checked Linux out in a few years, it’s come a long way. No, its design sensibilities aren’t on par with the Mac of 10 years ago, but neither are Apple’s today. #macOS

@bcantrill super side-quest; very cool to hear you mention Cy Vance. I grew up very near Clarksburg, WV and there was a sign in town mentioning the birthplace of Cy Vance. Very cool to hear the connection to international politics on Oxide and Friends.
@stoneymonster So cool. I’m glad to see everything came together for this.
@chris_gammell Godspeed.

@stoneymonster Excellent work! Not sure why I was expecting you to cover every track like one of those Smooth McGroove videos, lol. Still love this song.

Not important: in my mastodon client the toot text appeared twice in the boost but only once in the actual toot. Not sure what that’s all about.
