@delanthear I’m working backwards through my projects so it might take a while 🙂

From time to time my wife will ask me “do you have ADHD?” And now with #ai coding tools and the revival of every side project I’ve ever done we finally have an answer.

Yes. Yes I do.

Tik Tok woke up and chose violence.

It’s the Home Office. That’s why stupid schemes like this pop up regardless of the government of the day.

I should share what I have been building: https://tsjo.ch an index for the indie/slow web. You can sign up using an invite code from an existing member or drop me an mail at invites at tsjo dot ch.

You subscribe to curated lists or individual sites and the app makes a dynamic OPML for your #rss reader.

I moved away from all big tech sources of information, into my rss aggregator #elfeed in #emacs, a challenge I had was to find relevant blogs/sites in areas that I loved.

@johnvoorhees now that we type much less code I wonder if we need new languages that are designed for readability at the expense of being laborious to type. Terse code and syntactic sugar used to be virtues. Now, not so much.
@delanthear @siracusa New macOS has outlawed irregularly shaped icons. If your app has one it gets put in an ugly grey square. This app has updated its icon to the new standard (I think) but it only gets out of its square while running which is … odd.
If this is happening to @siracusa, I can only assume it's driving him insane.
Thanks Barclays. We’ve gone through the entire beta cycle and you’ve done this with the end in sight?
@treyhunner I’m not sure either really fits because teetotaller and vegan don’t necessarily carry negative connotations even outside their respective communities (especially teetotaller). AI-Luddite maybe? 🤷🏻‍♂️
