Flashed GrapheneOS on my pixel - having far less compatibility issues than I realized. Great job GrapheneOS team.

I see that NetNewsWire has already removed the icons from their menu items. Thank you and woohoo! The world is healing #netnewswire #liquidglass

Uncertainty *is* life. gurupanguji.com/blog... #life #philosophy

First Light 007: Rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Perfect weekend game if you're into Bond. Found it to be a great mash of Hitman + Splinter Cell.

gurupanguji.com/blog... Such a delightful visualization of planes overhead. #aviation #web

I wish that the Voyager had 2 extra keys - both in the thumb cluster - it would allow me to not rely on the ‘Z’ key as “alt/option” and keep that within the thumb cluster for the Command+Alt (⌘+⎇) sequences that are often needed. gurupanguji.com/blog... #keyboards

Browsers render HTML and markdown is just a human-way to write text to convert to HTML. Famously, it's a set of conventions and not a language and hence hard to standardize. So, yeah - not everything is a conspiracy: gurupanguji.com/blog... #web #markdown

Uncertain times for personal and professional life - trying to embrace the uncertainty and slowing down has to be the right path forward gurupanguji.com/blog... #life

If you are on a Mac, Hyperkey is a delightful, simple utility that can help you convert your CapsLock(⇪) key into a Hyperkey(✦). I personally set it to Hyper(✦) when pressed and Escape(⎋) when tapped. gurupanguji.com/blog... #hyperkey #utilities

It’s easy to critique - it’s way harder to take something beautiful, find what’s beautiful about it and then make it shine even more. gurupanguji.com/blog... #life #philosophy

> Dying to win and risking death to win are completely different, Megumi. Give it your best. Be greedier. gurupanguji.com/blog... My favorite scene from Season 1 of JJK #jjk #anime

What a delightful use of tokens ;-) gurupanguji.com/blog... #web

here are very few precious things in life. Why worry about the 99% of the stuff that don’t matter. Also telling things myself as plans that I had long planned aren’t exactly panning out either.

An exploration of feelings associated with AI writing and being human. gurupanguji.com/blog... #ai #writing

That’s 20 years of reading RSS feeds made possible by this one application. 20 years of being delighted by writing, 20 years of knowledge gained. Thank you Brent Simmons; thank you NetNewsWire. gurupanguji.com/blog... #rss #netnewswire

Thank you @pierce for featuring https://bubbles.town in this week's Installer. The indie web is thriving and I am glad we were able to send some great traffic to a lovely effort. my post: gurupanguji.com/blog... Installer: www.theverge.com/ins... #indieweb #web Go 🫧

When Chat Met Toast - Best Performance Ever

I am confident that I have a good nose for bullshit-writing. If it smells like caca, imma not gonna reada. But the complaining and reality-tv-esque meta discussion ends today. gurupanguji.com/blog... #ai #writing

That’s a dark dark pattern. Yes, it’s double dark how effectively it affects your psychology. I might be feeding this sort of behavior with my posts that I can see AI-writing everywhere and will consider stopping. gurupanguji.com/blog... #ai #writing

“Nobody is born holding greatness. People build it in the dark, with pebbles in the mouth, long before anyone arrives to applaud.” It’s all about the reps. gurupanguji.com/blog... #life #philosophy

My entire life's vibe right now 😖 #voltorb #pokemon

A lot of people sent me this post and to their credit, the message contained is beautiful. However, the message felt sullied because I could see AI writing everywhere. Am I the odd one out who cannot tolerate clanker-slop? gurupanguji.com/blog... #ai #slop

Even geohot is concerned about AI slop. While I think we are all adjusting to a new normal, it's worth considering - what if these are correct - some thoughts. gurupanguji.com/blog... #ai #slop

HMW allow the money allow us to put more care into our craft? There-in lies the secret to happiness. Money is a means to an end, not the end itself. I feel like I am gaining some midlife clarity saying that out loud. gurupanguji.com/blog... #writing #web

Likewise, just because a company’s motives are capitalistic, doesn’t make it particularly pure either. That’s a narrative that I’ve seen pass around in the tech circles as well. gurupanguji.com/blog... #oss

Life’s too complex for snap judgements. I am trying to unlearn that habit and I hope so can this world. gurupanguji.com/blog... #coffee #web

This was very clarifying. Slop is an issue of care and not the tool. gurupanguji.com/blog... #ai #slop

I highly recommend checking out Bubbles - it is a treasure trove of incredible personal blogs and passionate people writing about all kinds of topics. And gurupanguji.com is now on Bubbles as well: bubbles.town/source/... Give some ups to posts that you've liked before.

Rounded corners, walking back some of the Liquid Glass horribleness. Focus on performance. I look forward to seeing more of Golden Gate. A rare sight of a potential Snow Leopard. gurupanguji.com/blog... #macOS #wwdc26

Lovely read on the impact of AI scraping on small sites - especially if you are also electing to self-host. It’s a hard world out there. gurupanguji.com/blog... #indieweb

Open is not free to provide. And it takes effort, generosity and goodwill. Like with things like democracy and good utilities, sometimes, losing it might be a key requirement to build it back again robustly. gurupanguji.com/blog... #web #indieweb #openweb

Fernando captures the loop that pushes me to write perfectly. One of the reasons why I write is to find more of “my people.” As I grow older, I am pushed to find more of my community. gurupanguji.com/blog... #blogs #indieweb

After years of no Star Wars video games suddenly we have a glut of them: - fate of the old republic (adventure) - zero company (turn based tactical) - galactic racer (pod racing) - monopoly heros v villains - eclipse - kotor remake (exciting) #starwars

Chad Whitacre is eschewing tech and living offline. It's fascinating to see the polar opposite reactions from people to this moment: I do admire the courage and conviction. OSS loses another good person. gurupanguji.com/blog... #oss

Blogs help me get to know the person and their thinking, often more than the thesis. I guess it’s reality TV for the people that like to read. gurupanguji.com/blog... #blogs #web

This put the biggest smile on my face. I am ever more certain that we are in another era where a lifehacker like site might actually be useful and benefit us nerds. Heck, I should emacsify lifehacker. gurupanguji.com/blog... #ai #emacs

"Penn & Teller talk a lot about how there are only two keys to their success: going further than others would think, and not worrying about employing inelegant tricks in service of something that would appear to be of utmost elegance."

I've been reading about people going to duckduckgo to get a non-AI filled google search. For those I say, have you tried `&udm=14`? Not everything needs to be enshittification joshmcconnell.substa... 1/5
