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...

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.

Folks hate to hear it, but SBU blowing up a bunch of Russian planes did in one day more for getting towards real peace negotiations than anything anyone has done in any conference room in the US, Turkey, or Europe this year

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.

Another day another missile attack against civilians. This time in my native Kharkiv. Putin is laughing at trump’s “negotiations”.

Of course Zelensky and Ukraine want to back out from so-called “deal”. It is a fucking robbery in exchange for nothing. Trump’s incompetent idiots couldn’t even negotiate a limited Russia-favored ceasefire.

In Ukraine we call it “corruption”.

So there are 40+ million black US citizens. I wonder how they feel about this? The message from Trump government to them basically reads “you are all worthless and whatever you achieved is because of “dei” (even before it was a thing) or other types of quotas”.

Forgetting brings impunity. russians carpet-bombed Mariupol, blocked civilian evacuations, forced people to seek refuge in the Drama Theater, bombed it too, and then kept shelling the area to make any rescue mission impossible. There can be no normalization with this evil.

Polacy patrzą na MAGA niszczącą gospodarkę USA: „O, fajnie, głosujmy na naszą MAGA”

This is, like, the smallest thing here, but it is amazing that Elon Musk is the kind of manchild who thinks, "I literally challenged Putin to one on one combat" is, like, a boast that shows how serious he was, as opposed a petulant mewl that shows what an overgrown toddler he is.

I never supported censorship, but here is what IMHO the EU should do right now:

What pressure is being put on Russia to negotiate?

“I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies”. What an easy times were those. It is not the hollow lies the US government peddles but the outright fantasy. It feels like we live through some dumber version of “1984”.

We imagined zombies, deadly virus, or alien invasion. What it takes in reality is simply wrong people in the White House.

Here I react to the shameful behavior of American leaders and media toward the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share. snyder.substack.com/p/five-failu...

What we’re witnessing in America is what happens when disordered discourse captures a political party, then the state itself. The Republican Party was the first to fall - abandoning truth for conspiracy, ideology for grievance, and policy for performative outrage.

Trump and Vance act as if the problem is that Ukraine is resisting an ongoing Russian invasion. The problem is the ongoing Russian invasion. If they want to use American power to stop the war, apply it to the aggressor. Abusing the victim is not going to end a war of aggression.

It has been 3 years since russia launched an invasion of Ukraine. That, and also an open war against the world order in which democracy, the rule of law and human rights matter.
