we should bring web directories back

OLEDs are safest when they are off; But that is not what OLEDs are for.

goofing with image formats, thought it was neat that a gzip-compressed PPM file (literally just a list of RGB triples) meets or beats a PNG file in file size, and a brotli-compressed PPM wins handily! PPM is super easy to generate and parse

ice cream truck passed on my walk, scored a cherry dip. for my health

my folks shipped me an undifferentiated garbage bag that was the contents of my lego bin. currently taking a "sifting" pass, gonna share anything particularly odd I find. lots of knex bits, knock off brands etc

I draw pixel fonts for fun, and want to share some of them! What formats do people expect/want for such things?

nothing tips the scales toward not clicking through quite like a low effort slop social share image! I do hope it ends the common wisdom that having OG metadata of any kind boosts engagement

If you're cli-comfortable, you can run `find ~/Library/Application\ Support -path "*/NativeMessagingHosts/*.json"` on macos to see all the "spyware" installed in your browsers! Free callout post material
