cool cool cool

Nothing like waking up at 6:30 AM and realizing halfway through getting ready you don’t need to take your kids to school because of the holiday shutdown.

Last week’s on call was not, in fact, chill. Luckily, after 11 AM today I’ll be F R E E until the new year.

The US TikTok sale has been signed. The company will be controlled by a joint venture including Oracle, Silver Lake, Andreessen Horowitz, Abu Dhabi-based MGX. Adding a UAE company really makes it clear that this was never about national security concerns. www.axios.com/2025/12/18/t...

As a presenter, you should have the confidence to not ask if your audience can hear you and/or see your screen at the beginning of a presentation. Surely you’ve practiced and know how to properly share your screen at this point?

Happy this got resolved for him, but it makes me think how often this happens to folks without a platform or the luck of Gruber blogging about it. Something is definitely broken on the Apple side, and I sure don’t want to ever have an Apple GC touch my account. 9to5mac.com/2025/12/18/a...

Going to be super awesome when Apple makes a trifold in 10 years www.youtube.com/watch?v=trsH...

Why is calling anyone so weird? I’d rather get in my car and drive to the location to talk to the person I need services from VS calling and talking.

Wait ya’ll have irl friends?

Ok idea, instead of commercials it’s just Lucy and the Ghoul walking around gas stations and whatnot looting and coming across product placement stuff along with Fallout game Easter eggs.

They need to add like 20 minutes of folks just walking around looting in the Fallout show.

You can just brew things. (making coffee rn)

At least they came to their senses

What a nightmare. Also wtf at the Apple Support chat agent. Something is truly broken in their support process. The lack of escalation and the emoji usage to deliver their incomprehensible responses would’ve made me drive to Cupertino and not leave the lobby until someone helped me.

Not sure if it’s my ADD brain or some other thing but I’ll often think of a bunch of stuff to post in rapid succession. I’d love a client that would allow me to dump all that stuff into it and let it trickle out randomly over the course of a day or so.

Starting a meeting 5 minutes after it’s supposed to start to cater to those who can’t make it on time trains everyone to not respect each other’s time and not show up on time to begin with.

JFYI your Cursor has a new update available

Oh hell yeah new Vulfpeck live at MSG, can't wait to have this going tomorrow while I work. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sHb...

Pushed a some updates today to enhance the overall security for Deletem, the overall oauth experience for self-hosted PDS enjoyers and some UI/UX polish to keep the site as fast and comprehensive as possible. Keep the feedback coming :)

The new Mastodon app icon is a choice. 😬

Man, if Bob Iger just stayed retired and let Disney figure out the Chapek situation on their own, he could have ridden off in the sunset as one of the great minds of leadership or whatever. Now his legacy AI slop enablement with some of the world’s best IP.

Cool cool cool. Nothing like buying power banks and losing them, then finding out they can catch fire. It’s like having little bombs somewhere in your house. www.theverge.com/news/842385/...

If I use a wallpaper that isn’t a personal photo, it’s always from @basicappleguy.com, and the ugly sweater ones are always a favorite during the holidays. Check em out! basicappleguy.com/basicapplebl...

Solid use case to delete posts using Deletem. Can filter by keywords!

Why would anyone want to come here again?

Have a new doctor, and the office has a board with how many minutes the doctor is behind. I appreciate the transparency, I guess. Note to make the earliest appt available in the future.

Some evening jams best paired with some wine and/or greenery. 🎧 youtu.be/md-ZW7I1ido?...

I've been a happy user of @kagi.com for about a year at this point and have happily been using the Orion browser since its public release. I have a code for 3 folks to get 3 months for free of Kagi search. First come first served. kagi.com/p/THANKSGIVI...

If a choir starts singing while you’re watching Bluey, you’re about to be hit with the biggest feels you can imagine.

Crazy that I made a CLI tool for myself that turned into this. Feeling inspired, and now that you can use any PDS, I feel I can expand and add more features. My to-do list is growing. Anything you'd like to see?

Check this out and let me know if you have any issues.

ATProto friends, I'm setting up @deletem.app to work with self-hosted PDSes and I don't love the UI to differenciate 'Sign in with BlueSky' or Sign in with a self-hosted PDS. Any feedback on how to make it look better??

Sup all. Been heads down working and have some cool stuff cooking for @deletem.app Hoping to have self-hosted PDS support soon! 🫡

Me waiting for my YouTube recap to appear

Been a longtime reader of @chorusfm.bsky.social and @jasontate.bsky.social since the AbPunk days. I admittedly use an RSS reader to consume the articles but today I went to the site and found this nearly impossible to read. Thoughts on making this more accessible? 🤞

As a dad to young kids I rarely go to the theater but I can’t help but feel sad for the loss that this will surely bring to movie goers. The theme park nerd in me kinda wanted Comcast to purchase WB and see what Universal Studios could’ve done with the IP and maybe expand the Hollywood park.

Listen through my 2025! Some bangers in there if I say so myself. 🎧 music.apple.com/us/playlist/...

Me looking at a deletem branch I haven’t touched since before a vacation.

Holy shit this is huge. Good riddance, actually. www.theverge.com/news/837654/...

Aw man, sorry to hear this. Claude was a must see when we went to the California Academy of Sciences. 🙁 www.calacademy.org/press/releas...

Do you want hackers to take exploits to the dark web ? because this is how you get hackers to take exploits to the dark web. 9to5mac.com/2025/12/02/a...

One of my favorite times of year is the music recap!Let’s see what got me through the year musically. 🎧 Check em out I bet you’ll find some cool new music :)

Using AI to write your review to have your manager use AI to summarize your review is peak 2025. If the summary has hallucinations, may it hallucinate in your favor. 😅

Free time? No. But will that stop me from playing the SANS holiday hack? also, no. www.sans.org/cyber-ranges...

My fav Outlook rule that has had the most impact for me: if the message body contains ‘Unsubscribe’ move it to a folder and mark as read. Have had this on for years and I haven’t missed anything important.

First day back at work and I don’t remember how to computer. /dial up noises/
