I early voted this morning and not only was it the busiest crowd I've ever seen at this polling location, it was by far the youngest crowd I've seen there. Feeling really hopeful that Abdul will win 🤞

Sometimes when I set my phone down on the kitchen counter it randomly opens the app store page for some LG app and I've had no clue why this was happening. I finally just figured out that our dishwasher has an RFID chip and if I set my phone down on just the right spot above it, it scans!

Raycast has been driving me nuts lately because when I type "calen", it for some reason decides that "CleanShot" matches way better than "Calendar" so I keep accidentally taking screenshots every time I try to see what my schedule looks like

I just learned about Anytype and it's really got me buzzing. I feel like the model of truly private local-only data which can be synced between devices via local p2p is such an exciting approach that I've been dreaming about for a while, I really hope that we see more of this

There's an interesting phenomenon in online native plant communities where people are informed enough to be aware of what the plant disease aster yellows looks like, but not know what purple coneflowers look like when they're budding and FREAK OUT every year when everything is totally fine.

I've been having a lot of issues with VS Code lately but I feel like there's nowhere else to go. I keep trying Zed but their git integration is such a massive downgrade, and the lack of extension support makes it feel like if you have an issue with their opinionated design, there's no way out.

New rules if I was in charge: - Costco is not allowed to arbitrarily change their layout after you just nailed down where everything is - Hostas are banned. Plant something more interesting - Stores should have to carry light roast coffee. You would like it more than medium/dark if you tried it

007 First Light is really good! It's like Uncharted crossed with Hitman which is a great combo. Maybe not as open in terms of how you can approach things as I might have expected, but maybe that will change as I get further in. Really fun either way.

Well today has been an adventure. I had deviated septum surgery this morning and I'm still recovering. Then my partner strained their back and now has limited mobility. And THEN a bird got into our air ducts and the two of us had to figure out how to get it out in our hobbled states. But we did it!

I think I need to look into dropping Cloudflare after this disgusting AI layoff garbage. Does anyone have recommendations for simple, reliable static site hosting options that aren't run by evil people and will hopefully be around for a while?

Annoyed with myself because I've been working on a native garden planning app for a while but it's not ready to use yet and today is plant buying day. Next year will be the year!

Titanium Court is absolutely incredible. it feels like a game targeted directly at me. Great sense of humor, very interesting surreal world, awesome art style, and a genuinely really fun match-3 game.

Apparently Node's type stripping doesn't allow stripping on anything in node_modules purely just to discourage library maintainers from only publishing TypeScript. I was so excited at the idea of just saying my library requires Node 24+ and publishing no-build TS, but that dream is dead now

CSS features that I'm just unapologetically using in new projects and loving: - Cascade layers - :has() - CSS nesting - Scroll-driven animations (with graceful fallbacks, but more for accessibility than browser support concerns)

The people who play @catfishing.net are too smart. I'll get an answer right and feel like I'm a genius knowing some deep cut and then I see that >75% of everybody else knew the answer too (still my favorite daily puzzle game right now, you should check it out)

When I started doing more agentic coding a month ago, it felt good to be able to throw it at the stuff I didn't want to do myself. But as time goes on I feel like the bar for what I don't want to do is getting lower. I just feel way less interested in the things I used to love doing

I'm very biased as a Pistons fan but watching a basketball team play good defense is honestly one of the most beautiful parts of the game. Ausar Thompson highlights are so fun to watch

Make sure to rotate your pronouns periodically, so that if your gender becomes compromised, attackers can only access it for a short period of time.

It is mind boggling to me how many apps all agree that markdown syntax is nice, but they all have their own slightly different proprietary versions of what subset of the syntax is supported and how they handle it. Just let me write my markdown!
