RE: https://mstdn.social/@Nickiquote/115939937447778499 For being such an ACAB crowd, a *lot* of Mastodon users absolutely love being cops.

RE: https://dice.camp/@johnzajac/115845954658479816 The ozone layer crisis is a similar story! The international community banded together to solve the problem and it worked!

@atpfm just a bit of monitor follow up since you were mentioning CES monitors: I got the Kuycon G32P late last year (it’s the “we have the Pro Display XDR at home”) monitor. I really like it! I originally got an LG Ultrafine 6K and returned it. The Kuycon uses that same panel but it’s in a much […]

So I'm in the midst of a kitchen remodel. If you're planning to do one and you're wondering about costs and such, do this: Research around, then make a really generous informed estimate of where you think the costs might land, and then also give yourself a generous estimate of how much the […]

while we're all bashing Liquid Glass can we take a second to appreciate inspectors? Inspectors are great! They are in their own window so they don't interfere with your content at all. You can put them anywhere that's convenient. They also disappear when […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

I just published a new post on icanthascheezburger! *New Year, New Theme* https://icanthascheezburger.com/wordpress/2026/01/new-year-new-theme/

Oh man, I’m bummed to see that Sendle shut down! I just sent a package with them this week. Their web app was clean and straightforward to use for ordering shipping labels.

Not a super flashy accomplishment but I am starting my biking even earlier in 2026! Last year I did my first bike ride in late February and this year I’m doing it in January (in mid-40s temps too!) And it didn’t feel like a chore.

Yes I understand how boudoir portraits work

Turn signals should be designed to start getting louder and louder after you've had them on for more than five seconds.

Someone in my neighborhood is driving an Audi RS3 (or maybe just an S3) in Kyalami Green and it brings me a nice bit of joy every time I see them on the road.

One Vision Pro thing I’ve really been delighted with is that I’ll often take photos when out on my walks when I see these super beautiful moments, but then when I see the photo on screen it feels like something didn’t get captured. Turns out: the thing […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Apple Vision ProTip: If you've been frustrated like me with the awful eye tracking control, go into Accessibility Settings and switch to using head movement to control the cursor. It's considerably more annoying to keep moving your head to move the cursor, but having it actually be accurate […]

@dansup: humble idea: have you given any thought to the idea of a creator fund for Loops? Maybe a sort of standalone app I connect my Loops account to, I pay a subscription fee, and that app sees the creators I watch and pays them out proportionally (assuming they also connect their accounts) […]

@mathowie when you drove your ID. Buzz back to Portland, how often did the infotainment system crash on you? It's happening to me at least once a day and I feel like there must be something weird going on with mine.

nooooo, the ID. Buzz won't get a '26 model year in the US! https://www.carscoops.com/2025/12/vw-cancels-id-buzz-for-2026-as-dealers-warn-it-might-be-over/ trying to be optimistic that they're just regrouping for '27 and not that the entire model is done for. It's just got so much going for it.

I'm so annoyed by this long-term trend of desktop apps moving toward using in-window panels for absolutely everything. We had a general-purpose solution for these kinds of things: windows! And also inspector windows on the Mac when the window was an accessory to a main window. Now you try to […]

I was getting sick of having to sift through dozens of message threads to try to find a specific file. This AppleScript will helpfully download all the attachments of every selected message/thread and chuck it in your Downloads folder. Perfect for, say, correspondence with your kitchen […]

@madfordmac.bsky.social thanks for bridging! Good to see you on here.

One of the perks of having to get an Airbnb in another neighborhood while the kitchen is being worked on is getting to enjoy my evening walks with some fresh scenery. #pdx

Okay so fun fact: modern Macs actually do this! It's a feature called compressed memory and it was added in Mavericks. It works really well because modern computers have CPUs fast enough that they can compress/decompress on the fly […]

ProTip: leftover sweet potatoes usually suck because everyone already mined out all the marshmallows. Solution: take some, put them in a ramekin, top with fresh marshmallows, and bake

Also: i had a secondary motivation to drive to the Seattle area: I wanted to take Foxy on a longer drive and see how its range is, and how it is to charge away from home. I charged to 100% at home. The car said 237 miles at 100% but after 168 miles I was […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Paid a visit to the @icm today. It was an absolute delight! It’s a spiritual successor to the Living Computer Museum, in a much smaller and more intimate footprint. I encourage you to become a member if for no other reason than to help make sure a great place line this exists.

Another ID. Buzz parked next to me earlier. Twinsies!

@caseyliss as the most visible CalDigit dock user I know and known owner of LG Ultrafine displays: I'm looking at a CalDigit TS5+ dock. Its product page says it doesn't support dual LG Ultrafine 5K displays. However, can it support dual displays where one display is an Ultrafine and the other […]

If you're in charge of the turkey this week for Thanksgiving, Babish is my canonical source of truth for different turkey preparations: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWlStZlu6bY

Ruby Central announced the next RubyConf in a YouTube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vkbRlYCJY0) but it just doesn't hit the same as their paragraphs of obfuscated PR-speak, so as a courtesy to the community I have provided a translation.

Now that it's pretty common for email providers to include their own unsubscribe buttons right from the web client, these providers should start tracking which senders flat out don't honor the unsubscribe links. It's so common for email marketers to fail to honor this, or to use dark patterns […]

ProTip: Got an ant infestation somewhere in your home? Quick ant poison recipe: Mix hot water with some sugar and Borax powder (I used about 3 parts water, 1 part sugar, 1 part borax). Mix until dissolved. Apply near where the ants are. They'll be gone in a day or two. Borax can be dangerous […]

In my latest post on @icanthascheezburger I wrote about the VW ID. Buzz! https://icanthascheezburger.com/wordpress/2025/11/the-volkswagen-id-buzz/

I was frantically trying to figure out a bug in a macOS game I made all evening after I noticed that sound effects wouldn’t play in my app. Turns out this is a Tahoe bug. In Tahoe, sounds just aren’t playing through SpriteKit, period. 🤯

This is a fantastic read and a good distillation of a lot of what was on my mind as I put together my Vibes Are Off In Tech talk at XO Ruby Austin. https://hachyderm.io/@phillmv/115520550071842547

It would have been cool if he was like “I want this comp package so that if I get it, I can feed and house every single person in the world who needs it” But no, he wants to build a robot army or some shit. The billionaire class is such a fucking waste of wealth […]

You have got to be fucking kidding me TikTok

Some Portland fall vibes for y’all

Sensodyne toothpaste comes in five different flavors and they’re all “mint but something about the taste is a little off”

the former maintainers of Bundler and RubyGems have a proposal: we want to move Ruby forward andre.arko.net/2025/10/26/w...

@marcoroth absolutely loved your talk today at XO. These improvements in tooling around Rails views are awesome.

And with that, my talk has been delivered! Nothing beats that feeling of relief.

On my way to Austin to speak at @xoruby tomorrow afternoon! I feel surprisingly good about this talk given how quickly I’ve had to put it together. If you’re not in Austin the talk will be recorded.

If you'd like to dabble in using an LLM agent to pair on code with, but you don't like the idea of being saddled with a specific editor, check out https://opencode.ai. It's really nice! It runs in the terminal and it's BYO model. It coexists peacefully with your editor.

I discovered something pretty exciting today: a lot of the exhibits from the Living Computer Museum in Seattle were acquired and transferred to a new museum called the Interim Computer Museum which is an actual thing you can visit! I immediately became a member because these kinds of […]

I can't speak for events that haven't happened yet or for every city but based on my own experience and everything I saw earlier this year, the #nokings protests are a really accessible entry into protesting. It's a really fun crowd, felt super safe, and there was safety in numbers. When […]

@atpfm possible follow-up item for y'all: @caseyliss mentioned his woes with macOS keeping all iMessages downloaded on disk and switching to just a year retention. This is a great use case for Hyperspace! Turns out I send a lot of image attachments repeatedly and I was able to reclaim 13 gigs […]
