Spent the day figuring out how to create macOS "web apps" from the command line (like old-school Fluid site-specific browsers, SSBs - accessed via the "Add to Dock" button in Safari.) Here, have my shat-out half-AI-written script for this, since I couldn't find anybody else having done this […]

Also, here, have some Dog.

Okay, it's a few years old now; but this is *such* a fantastic deep-dive into reng on macOS - I'm shocked how deep @alinpanaitiu went, but more importantly, shocked how thoroughly he documented the process. What a classy fuckin' dude. Excellent read […]

So, this summer, I moved back down into the city proper. Anybody in #chicago know any good #logansquare accounts to follow? (also if you're around the area, poke me and let's get coffee! I need new local friends!)

@bram hey there; just sent you an e-mail about Notion.cafe, when you've got a sec. Unsure if it fell through the cracks or something!

@brie holy crap I thought *I* had a lot of random domains and fractured web-presence. my condolences! O_O found you via https://brie.dev/ok-reader/, originally looking to ask: A. are you still using KOreader, and in particular, did Hardcover sufficiently […] [Original post on functional.cafe]

@ivory one for the feature-requests: I'd love to see a 'jump to' hotkey with fuzzy-search, ala ⌘P in VScode / Notion, ⌘K in Discord / Beeper / Spotify / Slack, Pictured: (annoyingly) ⌘F in my beloved @things; one of the slicker/simpler implementations of the quick-picker/command-search that […]

Unsure if I've even mentioned this anywhere before, but I've maintain a "Steam Curator" page for the last few years, keeping a log of how well games handle custom keyboard layouts - feel free to follow it if you want to see a note on Steam Store pages telling you whether a game's keybind […]

one of my stupider pet-peeves: "what's the meta" not all strategy is *meta-game* strategy. "the meta" is only *possible* in a multiplayer game, where the balance of the characters is being continuously tweaked by upstream developers. Choosing a tool just because it's known to be strong […]

hallo everyone. how is everyone this fine sunday. click reply. tell me a small thing about your life. it will make me happy. i will reward u with Dog Photo.

Fascinating. I just ran the math; and Apple's displays/devices have almost *precisely* the same "pixels-per-degree-of-visual-arc" (a much more important measurement than raw PPI.) - Pro Display XDR (at 70cm) is ~53° of visual arc; that gives it ~112 px/deg - M1 Macbook Pro at 61cm is ~31° of […]

… then what the fuck is the point, Ubisoft? I despise when corporations participate in the security theatre of having "2FA", but then *requiring* some sort of strictly-less-restrictive "backup" login option. 1. if 2FA can be added … but […] [Original post on functional.cafe]

What madman's idea was this, omfg. FRP in Minecraft?

I haz DOGS AGAIN

I miss her so stupid much.

Question for y'all #SystemicGames¹ folks who like multiplayer/#coop games: How do you logistically manage actually having a co-op, multiplayer playthrough of a complex video-game in your life? I've always struggled, hard, with satisfying my needs here; not only is it so hard to find people who […]

I, uh, I. Own a house now. On the same day that someone important to me passed. It's … it's been a fucking weekend. A fucking month? Year???

Man, I had a shit week. Tried to stretch outside my comfort zone in a big way; but failed myself really badly. Old trauma woke up at a crucial moment, and bit me really hard; and I think the whole thing, instead of being healing, just … doubled everything down. I’m feeling worthless in a […]

“Stop trying to make Evanston a thing”

I’m unreasonably fucking pissed. An r/me_irlgbt moderator banned me, and is now accusing me of being an A.I. … … … because I use fucking emdashes and ellipses. #typography #ai #nightmaretimeline

my phone has a “memes” folder for years, that folder has had exactly one image this is that one image.

OH: “How many non-legally-binding weddings do you think I can have before my friends will stop coming to my weddings.”

i just want my post get boosted a lot so i can see my gotosocial “knows X other instances” grow

Tool developers. My dear loves. My wonderful creatuers. Load your config-files from: - $REPO_ROOT/.yourthing.json - no - $REPO_ROOT/.config/yourthing.json - yes At the very least, include `.config/` in the hierarchy-walking algorithm. Seriously, I am so tired of my project dir being forty […]

Ah, yes, the 62 genders. Including “MALE” and “FRANCE.” https://www.php.net/manual/en/class.gender.php

OH: “ablative trombones”

Took my daughter to class last week and she drew this on the whiteboard for me, I've had it on my phone for surreptitious looky-looks throughout the day. Now you can all have it too.

OH:"Not saying I have an epistemology of attractiveness or anything, …”

I hate long posts. The worst part of Mastodon, by far. The _inherent format_ of the _clients_ makes it hard to read them, or worse, makes them very interruptive to the other people's content around you. Stop it. )=

Wow, what a fucking fascinating 'configurable HID' - using the packaging of the software-cartridge as the UI indicators for a touch-surface. I'd have liked to try one of these. https://digipres.club/@brhfl/114270219312272443

I found this posted on the wall at the university where I teach. I love when students have a weird sense of humor like this. #shitpost #memes #teaching
