as the admin of a single user #mastodon instance, i wish i had the guts to finally ban him.

This is the size of a USB port in the 1950s. #monsterdon

there really is a big split in what music sounds like before the mid 60s

i can't explain the terror i feel every time my #appletalk network goes down after a firmware or software update. i know one day `systemctl restart atalkd` won't be enough

happy cinco de mayo 🦅🇲🇽 #mexico

Maybe one more #quicksilver plugin before moving to other things. Since Captura has an automation url scheme (https://captura.tranquil.systems), it can be controlled with quicksilver. The recording attached was started by finding the open xcode window in […] [Original post on friendship.quest]

gleam really looks fantastic

Very excited about the new dragon quest vii remake! Dragon Warrior VII was my introduction to the franchise after I traded a pirate DirecTV smart card for the game. #dragonquest

I think it's ready! Version 1.0.0 of my Things 3 plugin for #Quicksilver is now available for download. It has basic functionality to browse the app sections, projects, areas, tags and tasks. You can add an auth key to create tasks. You can create tasks […] [Original post on friendship.quest]

Quicksilver is still my favorite launcher-like tool. The direct object -> action -> indirect object is very powerful. It's an old codebase, but after the initial period of learning what it expects plugins to do, it's not hard to write new plugins.

It's been fun writing objective C again. I always liked the verbosity / selector style, I find it very easy to read. It's pretty jarring to go back to a type system that is so lax though. I really appreciate the typing guarantees that come with modern languages like rust or swift.

It's usable now! I still want to tweak it to deal better with certain types. Eg. tasks for contacts, files or URLs But I think this is almost ready for a 1.0 release. Up next for that purpose will be: - add app sections (eg. today, inbox, etc.) - add tags […] [Original post on friendship.quest]

Good progress with the things #quicksilver plugin. I have since added actions: - Search - Show in Things - Mark as Completed

Learning #quicksilver plugins is slowly paying off. Making some progress on my Things 3 plugin. This one uses parsers so should be cleaner than my last attempt. #macos

I ended up going back to firefox. I just don’t like safari. Also, can’t believe they still don’t allow you to specify a custom search engine.

Here's today's update on the social bookmarks #quicksilver plugin. - It now works with any* delicious/pinboard compatible social bookmarks site thanks to the self-hosted option (eg. linkhut) - Tags now correctly show the children. *Anyish, turns out […] [Original post on friendship.quest]

Managed to get tags working in the Social Bookmarks #quicksilver plugin! It's been really fun diving into how plugins work, diving into the QSObject / QSCatalogEntry code. In the spirit of infinite scope creep, I want to add an action to add bookmarks as well as fetching them.

The xcode claude integration is pretty interesting. It knows more than claude code on its own, but it's token hungry. I almost never run into limits when running claude code, but the xcode integration eats them all fairly quickly (Both using sonnet) Also it has a tendency to create new files […]

I am VERY excited to see that badge populate. that's 100 bookmarks from my linkding instance. Still need to: - Figure out why settings sometimes save, sometimes don’t - Paginate - Use the right type - Set the right icon - Test that I didn't break the […] [Original post on friendship.quest]

spent the day trying to update the social bookmarks plugin for quicksilver. the learning curve is high, but I think it will be worth it. quicksilver is one of the apps I use the most.

The current version of liquid glass bezel sometimes has some odd behavior. eg. it might look more opaque than usual, or some tints don't apply. at this point i'm not sure if it's the os beta, the xcode beta, the apis i'm using, or my own incompetence. my guess is it's that last one, but we […]

Here's a preview of the Liquid Glass Bezel™ interface for #quicksilver -macos #liquidglasstween regular or clear glass. - You can disable tinting, which will follow the system theme. In this case only the highlight configuration will be used. - You can […] [Original post on friendship.quest]

turns out that adapting my #quicksilver FlatBezel.qsplugin to render as liquid glass isn't too bad. Since I still like the flat look, this will be a new plugin. I reckon another day or so of work needed.

I think map's mostly apple glass ready now, but every xcode beta is an adventure

"Sideloading" is the rentseeker word for "being able to run software of your choosing on a computing device you purchased". There is no reasonable case for an operating system developer having a say over what programs you run on your hardware. #android #google

ported tomato sauce to rust and added a new checkerboard pattern. no more random segfaults from the terrible node code i had before. get your own beautiful art in your terminal: telnet tomato.unlimited.pizza 6666

i was led to believe the switch wasn’t great for ps1 emulation, but so far it’s been excellent! SNES and ps1 are 90% or what I want to emulate

it's 2025 and my os still doesn't let me sort my trash. txt files go to the blue bin zips, tars and their ilk go to the yellow bin everything else to the black bin files over 1gb you have to take to the bsr directly

seems like the random wallpaper behavior is fixed in the latest beta! The plist location differences still apply though

someone needs to stop me from installing the ragnarok online client again

leds don't work on the default qmk repo, but the "deprecated” openannepro one does work, so I’m sticking with that

Set up qmk on my annepro2 and it might be better than the stock firmware. the tap keys for arrows work a lot better (I love the tap and hold to repeat), and the options for layers are really interesting. At the moment I think my tap dances for some layers might cause some quirks (at least the […]

@ruben coining the “firefox tick-tock cycle” phenomenon where mozilla will sometimes care about macOS and other times when they just let the team do whatever

firefox is the browser to use if you care about engine diversity safari is the browser to use if you care about battery life

after a while using paperwm.spoon, i'm going back to windowmizer + no additional tiling manager. If you haven't tried it and like scrolling wms, give it a go: It's really really good! Whether it works for you might come down to which apps you run daily or your workflow. In my case: xcode can […]

PSA for Tahoe if you depend on modifying the plist to dynamically set wallpapers. It used to be that you could change a wallpaper directory for all desktops by calling: ``` /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "set AllSpacesAndDisplays:Desktop:Content:Choices:0:Files:0:relative file […]

it seems like tahoe changes the behavior of random wallpaper directories. #tahoe #macosm to random and show in all spaces, every space gets the same one. Itahoe #macos that each space would get a separate one. It also changed where the configuration is stored in the plist. #tahoe #macos […]

the one #linux thing i can't stop hating every time is the gtk giant fixed sidebar.

still a big hit-and-miss with arm support and apps on #linux. Especially electron based apps are quite absent. Some have good alternatives (eg. Todoist -> Planify), some have only a .deb for the raspberry pi (eg. waveform), most have workarounds, but still a shame.

my #linux desktop really brings me joy and makes me feel like i can hang out with zero cool and acid burn

the macos mind cannot comprehend this (corners)

I suddenly need a steam deck (source unknown, sent to me by a friend)

After a few mysterious issues with the file node and ufw, I was able to set up self-hosting for anytype! I know it's complicated to set up, but I really like the p2p nature of the service.

they weren't kidding that anytype is complex to self-host

monkey minecraft is pretty darn tootin good

is learning colemak a good use of my unemployment time?
