Nintendo Music Update Adds Super Mario's OG Game Boy Outing.

I think the gameplay loop is fine, and Fire Emblem Shadows still has a good amount of polish. The music is pretty excellent. #fireemblem https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:qap6gpor3iaifteqmkmqvklu/post/3ma2bah6tvp2s

"I'll Get In Trouble" - Yuji Horii "Can't Talk About" Future Chrono Trigger Developments.

I switched iPadOS multitasking from Stage Manager back to Windowed Apps, and it works so much better to how I flow. I just want to add app windows to my current space by default, like macOS. (I don't use a pointing device or external keyboard, so maybe Stage Manager works better in those cases.)

One of the pitches for Zettelkasten method is “conversing with your slipbox". I looked up a way to have an LLM augment my zk to let me query it with chat prompts and came across Reor. (Readwise has a feature to chat with your highlights, but my highlights are too noisy. I keep notes that I want […]

Bouille: "I should say there is one other view of the 2024 presidential election.

I thought DOORS Next was being an incredibly user hostile web app for only letting me do operations on 200 objects maximum at a time. Now I find that apparently the only way to bulk delete in Google Photos is to select photos with Shift+Click, but not too many at time.

Tahoe's squircle jail finally motivated me to move the snippets from my old Text Expander install to Alfred.

lol since switching to iCloud photos library a year ago, I just noticed Google Photos sync has been broken this whole time. I only checked because I got a renewal notice for Google Drive space.

Alright it took me a minute and reading the docs to figure out adding a window to an app group in iPadOS 26 Stage Manager, so I'm writing it in a toot to help me internalize it. If it's not in the Dock or Recent Apps stacks, tap App Library from the Dock. Type the name and then drag the icon […]

We don't need health advice from the guy who thinks windmills cause cancer.

The funny thing is it takes until the end of this article about the $100k work visa charge to mention that it's also illegal. Congress never gave POTUS power to set a charge, just to recover processing fees. https://apple.news/A96GwdyprSw6D7VpgmhbAxA

I kinda love this essay. Lovely comparison of character tropes and plot beats that Star Trek and Master and Commander have in common. And yeah, I'm always partial to calling out that Master and Commander was an _amazing_ movie. <3 And in particular, since this essay calls out several […]
