I traditionally use Apple Music. It is bundled with an Apple subscription and well it has everything. But the desktop app is abysmal.

Look at the list of Orban’s supporters and find the worst wannabe dictators the democratic world current has. Except for Milei I believe, he probably just needs US money and supports so has to keep Trump happy.

„The propaganda glorifies war and insists it is smart and ‘realistic’ to be pitiless and violent.”

So Hitler's position in 1940/1941 is not a good position ruined by foolish decisions, but in fact a deceptively weak position that is almost certainly doomed, leading to insane gambles that only make it worse. The catastrophic mistake was having a war, a result of the worse mistake of being a Nazi.

Xcode's predictive code completion is like a Copilot 3 years ago. Or am I missing something?

Another beautiful Shchedryk performance amidst ruins. It was set in what used to be a DTEK thermal power plant — now destroyed by russia. The contrast between russia’s destructive nature and the Ukrainian will to create beauty even in the darkest times is palpable.

Unless someone called Donald saves them

18. No waterbed or AOL address. I guess those are more US things :)

Putin said Russia had taken Kupiansk weeks ago. Today, Zelenskyy visited Ukrainian troops there.

The victorious Russian army recently took a lot of beating around Kupiansk.

Nothing new here, but just another confirmation when Trump says “free speech good, censorship bad” he actually means to add “…if it aligns with my bigoted maga beliefs” www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

Trump: "82% of Ukrainians deman a peace deal" – a morning portion of fake news from the worst US President ever. That is simply untrue.

An aspiring fascist, who is quickly losing support at home, says “Ukraine should hold elections” even though the Constitution directly forbids that at time of war. Mumbles something about “democracy”, the very thing he works to undermine at home.

Japan is disappointed in the lack of support from the USA in the diplomatic conflict with China. Well, the US leadership is busy fighting the EU allies for “censorship” and a “lack of democracy”. I guess all is fine in China with that regard.

Lesser-known reason for microservice architecture: it allows for nice diagrams that management can _kind of_ understand

Kindergarten in Kharkiv hit by a missile launched by the russian terrorist state. This is a direct aftermath of weak, lackluster and outright stupid "peace" efforts of president Trump. Putin only understands power. Weakness encourages him to escalate.

I love ClickUp, but it has a lot of minor bugs. If only half of them could be fixed, I would be so happy. And just a few really small improvements to time reporting, while we are on it. But even now, I believe it is the best project management tool out there.

NATO needs to starting shooting down the flying Ivans

In short, force them to try to rule by naked force because they *do not* have enough force and the very nakedness of it will mean they have less and less. The Civil Rights movement overcame far more with far less, if we had a fraction of their courage, we'll win.

- Daddy, what do you do for a living? - Mostly scroll and stare at the long lists on my display.

The third season of Foundation follows the familiar pattern. It starts interesting. The old baggage of nonsense from the previous seasons is mostly lost and forgotten in between. The story is reconciled with the books as much as possible. And then it all goes downhill. Again. See you at the season 4

Time tracking spyware is a tool that records keystrokes and takes screenshots to track the time spent on a computer. How efficient is it to measure and control the productivity of a freelancer or employee? Short answer: not at all. manytomany.co/blog/time-tr...

The app I have been working on for... like forever

I am so annoyed when iOS Developers spell their job title with the capital "i" (IOS). Like, hey, you work with the platform daily, can you at least learn the correct spelling?

A shout out to Anchorage! You showed up strong a beautiful reminder that support for Ukraine spans every corner of the world. Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦

The worst president in the history of the United States. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Wow, @Google Docs has added a useless Gemini AI, increased prices for Workspace... and removed the ability to create and use custom templates for the documents (only the useless curated ones).

Orban's PALACE. Scratch the authoritarian anti-liberal populist politician and you will invariably find a petty, corrupt individual. Worse still, the amount they directly stole pales in comparison to the wealth a nation lost due to their policies. www.eurointegration.com.ua/eng/news/202...

Like, if you rewrite these reports, climate change will go away. Right. www.france24.com/en/live-news...

Here is a summary of my 2-week return to Upwork. Spoiler: I won one project, will keep going. manytomany.co/blog/how-to-...

That feeling when you paid $400 for headphones and people complain about the mic quality when you call them 🫠

Automatically pulling the data into the home budgeting software is great when it works. But more often than not, here is what happens and recovering is so painful :/

Upwork has gotten even crazier since the last time I worked there seriously. The Frelancer+ subscription ($20/month) will give you 5 (not "boosted") applications, which, as it always has been, is like 1/10th of what you need even to have a slight chance at landing a serious project.

Is Apple ever going to f**ng fix Apple Music? Just curious.

The Russians, who have been murdering Ukrainian civilians and bombing cities for three years, are suddenly very worried about "gross violation of international law" and "global and regional security" www.themoscowtimes.com/2025/06/22/r...

We need more stories like this demonstrating how things improved for humanity over time. Because they are by many metrics. But many tend to not notice, imagine “good old days”, and how something got broken along the way and look for another demagogue to promise to fix it www.vox.com/health/41581...

Make Trump Family Great Again www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

russian foreign ministry on Israel attack on Iran: "Unprovoked military strikes against a sovereign U.N. member state, its citizens, peaceful cities, and nuclear energy infrastructure are categorically unacceptable.” The level of hypocrisy here is astounding.

For no reason at all, I moved my proposal template for manytomany.co from Apple Pages to @typst.app and it was so cool experience. Ok, two reasons: 1. Now I can easily use LLMs to generate them 👀 2. I can store them in the repo and see the revisions.

I think I am quitting my 1520 days on Duolingo. Not because of AI scandal. Not directly anyway. It just made me re-evaluate why I am even doing it.

So far all (gen) “AI” look kind of impressive until you actually try to do something useful with them. The best result you can count on is “kind of ok-ish”

Impressive how convenient React Native development has become with @expo.dev Still having a headache with Android build though. Back to finding the combination of package versions where it works.

Apple Music adds more bugs with every release 🤷‍♂️

I useful reminder, when folks insist without any evidence that the 'neo-liberal' world order has obviously failed or whatever, that this is the global poverty trend graph since 1820: I suppose you can argue these trends are *unrelated* but it's hard to argue liberalism ruined everything.

Tried @zed.dev for React Native/TypeScript. Gave up after I couldn't figure out how to make Command+click open the function definition directly without an awkward intermediate screen. Code completion is somewhat underwhelming compared to Vscode+Copilot too.

People have been wanting to believe that there was once a utopia, somewhere deep in the past, before the grubbiness of money and markets and property crept in; the 'peaceful past' is just a fancy name for the noble savage. But Rousseau was wrong: conflict and poverty predate property. /end

Yep, Twitter was repurposed as Musk’s propaganda machine. Facebook and Instagram were broken for the sake of higher ad revenues and perpetual growth rook2root.co/articles/202...

To state the obvious: Ukraine doesn’t need Trump mediation if it decides to surrender.
