This happens all the time and I find it so unhelpful. It looks like tomorrow will be rainy. 60% and a rain symbol. Except when I look at the precipitation details, there’s light rain at 6am. Does this annoy anyone else, or just me?
I've been trying to use Jujutsu lately and I wanted to write about how I transitioned from my Git workflow. I hope you find it useful! baxter.sh/adopting-juj... #jj-vcs
Adopting Jujutsu
I’ve always loved the safety net that a VCS like Git provides, but I’ve never loved git’s user interface/experience, nor the mental model that I’ve tried to hold in my head while I’m using it. Jujutsu...

"the menswear guy isn't fair and balanced." do you even hear yourself? "fork lady is eroding public confidence." "ladder baby is undermining the credibility of the field." "lemon raccoon is acting without transparency or accountability." that's what you sound like.
Those of you who use RSS/Feed readers. What do you use? What would you recommend?
Hey, #ruby folks! I've been one of the #RubyGems maintainers for the last decade. Ruby Central has forcefully taken control of the RubyGems organization on GitHub, the `rubygems-update` and `bundler` gems on rubygems[.]org, and more. You can read the details here: pup-e.com/goodbye-ruby...

This whole farce with the “Your Party” membership email has left a really bad taste in my mouth. I like Sultana but the email, which used a similar but different URL to the official “Your Party” website for memberships, seems borderline phishing. leftfootforward.org/2025/09/brea...

The last few days I've been trying to get my head around #jj-vcs. I feel like I don't understand some fundamental things. Like, after I do a merge of a PR, I do "jj git fetch", and then on an existing revision I do "jj rebase -d main", and get "Error: Commit d0421057deaf is immutable" ...
I remember reading a fable/anecdote years ago about how when an engineer goes to a conference they say “that was a waste of time, I only learned one or two new things” whereas when a salesperson goes to a conference they say “that was great, I learned one or two new things”
I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.
I Am An AI Hater
I am an AI hater. This is considered rude, but I do not care, because I am a hater.

I'll say it once and I'll say it again. If you think artists are just "naturally talented", you're deeply wrong. The only difference between you and us is that we kept trying when it didn't come out like we hoped. You can always make art yourself. There's no bad time to start, you can start now.
Best description of Mastodon I’ve seen.

I hate that the em dash is now synonymous with AI generated content. Em dash — my beloved…
I'm not using nushell 100% of the time, but it's really nice dipping into it to write things in a more readable way, e.g. finding out which directories take up the most space: ~> du ./* | select path physical | sort-by physical | reverse #nushell
“Your interests help us find what you like!” Ok then please stop showing me sports.
Lizi’s redesigned their packaging and I hate it. Help me understand. Why do I like the packaging on the left and hate the packaging on the right?
Today I did some linocut printing. It was my first time. I liked it. I think I’ll do it again.
Cinderella III: A Twist In Time, is a surprisingly good film. The animation is good. The story is alright. I like it. I should start a Letterboxd account for insight like this.
Every year on April 1st, we at the Ishtar Collective have tried to do something fun. This year I had very big plans, but for a number of reasons, many of them of my own making, they never came to fruition. I’m very proud of the thing we built, and maybe one day I’ll share it, but not today.
A follow up on this. On Tuesday we replaced Meilisearch Cloud with a $6 DigitalOcean droplet running Meilisearch set up by @wafer.baby. I wanted to start with the smallest instance and scale up based on performance. So far we’ve not had to scale up! $300/month → $6/month Pretty good saving! 😄
baxter@baxter.sh · last yr.The Ishtar Collective’s search bill was $300 this month. That’s like 6 times the cost of all of the other services. 🤯 I think we’ll be moving away from @meilisearch.com’s hosted offering very soon. @wafer.baby is looking at running it ourselves on DigitalOcean.

Muting all mentions of severance until I have a chance to watch the latest episode
I started looking for Instagram alternatives and installed Pixelfed, but the first thing you need to do is pick a server. I feel like any app experience where you need to pick a server is going to turn off a lot of people. Myself included and I’m a massive nerd.
