@samuel.fm Is it a known problem that when a user switches from Safari to another app and then back to Safari on the iPad, the position in the feed I’m scrolling is not maintained?
airbnb I’m staying at unintentionally created the toughest punk album cover of 2027
I had Claude set itself up so that when it wants my attention for anything, it causes Ghostty's Dock icon to jump and make the background of the label of the relevant tmux window a tasteful yellow. I assume this is what it felt like in prior generations to make a spice rack.
This is extremely cool.
Spent a bit of time this past weekend on my silly space battle game, Super Space Fighter. Added a nicer effect when you hit the arena boundary with your weapons. Also some tuning of weapons. Also started on a little web based arena editor. 😅 Try it: superspacefighter.com
So demonstrating that I am well and truly in my 40s, I report to you that Ninajirachi's album, I Love My Computer, is very good.

I spent more time on this piece than almost anything else I've written in the last year. Building a better, more decentralized internet is an inherent necessity if you want a functioning democracy. I hope people find it a useful encapsulation of where we're at. www.liberalism.org/p/enshittifi...
Enshittification, Despotification, and the Open Internet
It’s not about whether technology is inherently good or bad, liberating or oppressive. Architecture shapes incentives; incentives shape outcomes.

I wasn't using any of ChatGPT's integrations with macOS so I think that means I can switch over to a Safari Web App version of the website without really losing much of anything.
The article quotes the earliest completion date (for the Shinagawa to Nagoya route) as 2036.
Long-stalled maglev line finally gets green light from Shizuoka Prefecture
So v1.0.0 of @crossmate.inqk.net has finally been submitted to Apple for App Review. Fingers crossed!

Is it just me or does the Bluesky website on iPad have difficulty maintaining position in a feed?
I love this guy’s argument so much that I had to, well, you’ll see—
I solved the puzzle ‘Tuesday Crossword’ in 37:49 using Crossmate.
Amen! weblog.rogueamoeba.com/2026/06/26/f... Squircle Jail is the worst design-related thing Apple has ever done to Mac developers, and probably the worst icon-related thing it has ever done, period. Incredibly developer-hostile.
Free The Icons
Apple should end their prohibition on shapes in MacOS app icons
