This little guy (Felix) made it to 20 years old. A little over 3 years past his brother (Oskar). Unfortunately, it’s now Felix’s time to leave us. He was a good boy and we’ll miss him a whole lot. #CatsOfMastodon #cats
Woke up with a very scratchy throat. Really hoping this isn’t what my wife had all last week. 😬

A lot of people have said "The new MacBook is not for you". I used a MBA 11" during the intel era for several gens. from right after the time they release the non prototype (aka envelope) model through when they nerfed them. Pretty sure the majority of some versions of Tweetbot was developed on one.

I could live with most of the limitations but there's two reasons I won't get one. 8GB is just insanity in 2026 and my MBP M1 Pro is just still too damned good enough for what I do on laptops.

Clearly, no one at Apple has used MacOS with 8GB of ram before. Sloooooooow-city. Can't believe you can't even upgrade the Neo to 16GB – that's the minimum I recommend to people.

Friday, 20 February, marked the 20th anniversary of MF DOOM’s Operation: Doomsday.

“I also feel like it gives me permission to think of myself as a photographer for a little while, not just a person with a phone.”

Process Zero is even better with a little processing on the side

Halide’s second-gen Process Zero upgrades might seem counterintuitive, but they’re enough to bring a skeptic around to the no-AI camera app.

The answer is not “have you tried wearing noise canceling headphones”.

The answer is “don’t let extroverts decide on office policy and design”.
