@panic.com humble request for the great Nova editor: let me have my fancy typographic options in Terminal windows, not just Editor windows. I have strong, Mac-assed preferences! ❤️

Just in case you still use any Basecamp products, DHH is crashing out about his AI product gently pointing out that it’s bad for him to have extermination fantasies about the Roma people.

DHH tweet saying “This is why we need competition and open weights in Al. Imagine a world where only Anthropic sat as the moral arbiter of acceptable speech. Fucking ridiculous. (Grok of course did it no problem, same too with Kimi K).” when presented with his blog post using a slur about the Roma people.

Talk about enshittification. I can’t even open Photoshop, an app I pay a fortune to use, without getting some obscure AI-related error. It’s absurd.

One of my favorite part of owning old records is when the original owner has written on (or in this case, underlined) it! Typically they’ve also put their name on it. Records were so personal back in the day.

"Having removed his foot from the door and returned to his native soil, Herbie lost little time in assembling an intriguingly different group that employed four of the men he had taken with him on the African tour-bassist Nabil
"Knobby" Totah, drummer Rudy Collins, vibraphonist Johnny Rae and veteran jazz trumpeter Adolphus "Doc" Cheatham,
- with a bongo and conga drummer, and three additional trumpets: Siggy Schatz, Jerome Kail and Leo Ball. The strengthened percussion section, with Ray Mantilla on conga and Ray Barretto on bongos (he is heard on all tracks except Dearly Beloved and Fife 'n Tambourine Corps) gave the combination a striking blend of tonal and rhythmic qualities."

Adobe just doesn’t give a shit any more, do they. Capital X, lowercase X… anything but a proper multiplication symbol. This from the industry-leading design tool.

Because I use Claude Code so much to help with my development, I’ve basically landed on Nova by @panic.com as my editor of choice. Its terminal is excellent, the editor and other features are there when I need them, and it’s a true Mac-assed Mac app. It’s a delight to use.

Elon Musk is a South African who came to the US under a fraudulently secured student visa to study at Stanford (he never enrolled). Through further fraud, he secured a green card and then was naturalized as a US citizen. His US citizenship can be revoked. He also holds a Canadian passport.

Quote of the day from @gruber.foo. “Windows uses Philips head screws, Linux uses hex screws, and MacOS requires Torx — but a hammer works the same way with all screws. That’s Electron.”

Figma: We added a bunch of tools to your plan, including animation! Adobe: Now Illustrator fatally crashes just after launching, for no reason, on the current version!
