    @yosh I'm jealous! That actually looks perfect.

    Briefly tried out the KDE Tokodon app on my phone and it's way too laggy, can't imagine it'll ever beat Phanpy's PWA as my Fediverse client of choice.

    These are currently pretty short because they were originally intended to be one or two lines in a very long page. Most of them also have the same date because I pulled times from git blame which was following the big Logseq to Obsidian migration.

    @marcogom I refuse to touch notifications with a ten foot pole, it's such a colossal mess.

    On the topic of feed readers doing notifications, I'm personally happier to not have them because an RSS reader isn't exactly an algorithmic feed where a post will disappear into the nether if you don't see it right away so notifications don't add much. It's better for me to open the app when I have the time to read and find something interesting waiting.

    Yash and I have been working on automating daily builds of our SDK sample apps to make it easy for QA to validate in-progress fixes, and the amount of shit we've had to deal with for iOS has been mind boggling.

    Between the two of us we might have placed the Curse of Ra on 3 generations of Xcode developers out of pure hatred.

    @tris I don't wanna get stuck in an even more niche ecosystem if I'm putting in the effort to get out of the established one, I'd rather just bet on myself at that point.

    I should add a notes section to my website for stuff that doesn't feel blog worthy but also relatively useful to just be a Mastodon post :thinkSpin:

    @lehtimaeki YouTube also encourages it by adding AI generated audio translations to videos and defaulting to them. For a period of 2-3 weeks I could not watch a single video that wasn't in English without the shitty AI audio track, even though the uploader had perfectly serviceable subtitles included.

    Having read 7 books of #Murderbot by now I was quite unsurprised to discover that Apple TV's adaptation of the series had been given an unnecessarily humorous twist that grinds my gears.

    Looks like Vercel users are about to rediscover their hosting platform resells AWS. Already seeing spliit.app be down because they're on Vercel while Signal is reporting localized unavailability because of a major AWS outage.

    @abnv The IndieWebClub meetup is effectively next door from me but sadly I'm leaving for a 3 week trip back home on that very day :(

    Hopefully a future installment returns to the same location later in November! 🤞

    Reliance on Amazon aside, switching from physical books to a Kindle has fully restored my reading habit in 3 days flat. I can now read in bed more easily, which means I choose to read over watching YouTube and fall asleep sooner and feel better the next day.

    Apparently my MacBook can track that I always use it docked and automatically stops charging past 80% and only runs off the power input from the Thunderbolt cable, that's pretty cool.

    Hey @neil :androidWave:

    I was reading your 2022 blog about your eBook reader setup and was wondering if you've managed to find any vendors in the mean time for DRM-free eBooks? Amazon's definitely convenient but I was hoping to not rely on them if possible.

  34. Public · 2025-10-11 05:58+00:00

    Been a long time since I went to bed reading a book rather than watching a YouTube video, felt nice.

    Got to sleep from 11PM to 6 AM rather than 3 AM to 9 AM, and went for a morning walk rather than stumbling into my chair to catch up on work.

    I could get used to this. Thanks Kindle :androidPetPet:

    Where do people get their #DRM free e-books? I just got a second-hand Kindle Paperwhite and would rather pay authors more directly for their work.

    Looking back through my blog archive is making me realize how much of my day to day has moved from building new things to fixing old mistakes and I sometimes miss not being the resident code janitor lol

    I do enjoy the maintenance aspects for the most part but it'd be nice to start having the space for shipping new things again. Soon™
