If you read the overkill digest (examples:

Currently playing Yakuza Kiwami 2. I’m surprised how the studio manages to reuse a ton of assets while changing just enough to make it feel fresh. Also, the ragdoll physics in Kiwami 2 are absurdly funny.

I feel a bit dirty, but I vibe-coded a parcel tracking app for Linux because my beloved
parcelapp.net
doesn’t exist there. It uses the Ship24 API for tracking and works well so far. One less reason to stay on macOS.

I’ve spent way too much time tweaking my KDE Plasma panel. So far, I’m really happy with the result. Next step is figuring out whether I can visually group Plasma widgets into pill-shaped containers, similar to how DMS does it.
