@cb awesome, happy to help!

@zachary Congrats!

@cb Is it meant to be on Maven Central already? Your excellent migration guide let me change the API pretty quickly but the actual artifact doesn't seem to be present.

My prayers were answered! The Bengaluru weather Gods blessed me!

Though it did take nearly 2 hours for our usually 20 minute commute...

@abnv every time you add another cool feature to your site my conviction of not wanting to maintain a bespoke SSG slightly wavers...

Yash moved his site from Hugo to Astro recently and added some fun stuff so I've been quite tempted recently :P

It would be my luck that @Gradle would drop a new stable release on the very day I wrap up upgrading everything at work to the previous version :P

Changes look great though! Most happy about logging why existing daemons couldn't be reused, it's one of the most common problems when helping people debug their setups and now there's a way to have a definite answer.

@Edent I also much prefer the QR codes but at least here in India they often are not just menus but a web portal to place my order and the quality of that interface varies _wildly_

#GitHub has announced the concrete pricing changes which were previously teased for #Copilot

All model multipliers are going up from modest to absurd amounts.

Is there a festival ongoing that I don't know about? There were a LOT of beating drums outside my window for an hour that I can still hear ringing in my head.

Yeah it's not doing anything, I've turned Forgejo off for now.

Put Anubis in front of it but I don't think that's doing a whole lot yet, logs are still flying at the same speed.

Woke up to alerts firing like crazy because some scraper has decided to hit my Git server _really_ hard overnight and the load is bringing everything down. Gotta love self hosting in the big 2 0 2 6

Shockingly early this time thanks to @abnv both posting his own week notes and setting up the Mastodon account (https://indieweb.social/@blr) to syndicate posts from our BLR IndieWebClub blogroll that let me know about it. Apparently I can just go early and not always have to rush this at 8 PM! 😮‍💨

Weeknotes are up! Changes at work, more movies, and a return to veggies-in-a-bowl as my go-to dinner.

It is once again time for me to stop looking at the #helldivers2 Reddit because everyone is convinced a live service title should actually not be trying to have sustained revenue.

@simonzerafa @bagder https://curl.se/donation.html

I am so ready to stop seeing 36/22 every damn day

@lety Yeah but they sing catchy songs so who's to say if they're really evil.

@AshenSilver Ollie's Tomodachi Life streams have been feeding the out of context Holo ID accounts for days, just pure comedy throughout.

@thoofan That's impressively accurate, great work!

@chirpbirb +1000, same decision I made last year and it's such a far cry from the constant wrestling you have to do with Kindles. I installed KOReader but end up never using it because the default experience is so nice.

@botteaap Pre launch reports are so underrated, they've found legit bugs for me so many times.

Had a minor outage on my personal site this morning thanks to Netlify not knowing that something like an SSL certificate renewal should have a retry mechanism. I've resisted migrating to Cloudflare so far despite my employment there but I've had one too many problems with Netlify at this point.

I have a close friend at Meta and he found out from this story lol

@neil I only have IPv6 on my mobile data ISP, not on my fibre connection so it feels like pointless effort for a thing I can't even meaningfully test.

When will it be my turn 🙃

@adityabhaskar I would be shocked if it doesn't exist by now.

I would apologize for the weeknotes being so late but I apparently had so many #food pics in there that it locked up my CMS, crashed my OS, and shut down my laptop. Can't really blame myself for this.

I have CalDAV from my email provider so this slots in naturally and stays synced across platforms.

Before this I was pretty content with Todoist.

@funkyidol Pretty solid! Writing extensions has been a breeze because there are a ton of docs and examples in the default distribution of pi which LLMs are able to find and utilize very effectively. The UI is a little spartan compared to OpenCode but nothing I really miss.

@Tarah @neurovagrant the author of uBO developed an MV3 compatible version that was able to retain many of the critical features. They have a handy FAQ that explains most of the functional differences:

https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBOL-home/wiki/Frequently-asked-questions-(FAQ)

@adityabhaskar I don't use a separate plan mode, with the superpowers plugin the agent automatically elects to use a design -> spec -> implementation plan pattern to do planning. In OpenCode the plan mode is completely worthless because it has no real enforcement on the harness level, it just asks the model nicely to not make edits in the system prompt, which Opus loves to ignore.

https://github.com/obra/superpowers

OpenCode has started shipping showstopping bugs every week for the past couple of months now so I'm experimenting with replacing it with https://pi.dev. It has a very minimal core and ships with extensive docs to let LLMs build out features themselves via extensions, so I've started up a repository to test building up the UX and feature set to match what I use out of OpenCode and eventually completely switch.

https://git.msfjarvis.dev/msfjarvis/my-pi

Reasonable tbh

@kingargyle OpenCode also supports both .agents/skill and .claude/skills

Woke up at 6 today but all the going out during the past 3-4 days caught up to me and I could barely stay awake let alone go to the gym as I had planned. Ended up crashing back into bed and only woke up at 9 🫠

Watching someone spend more time making up a conspiracy theory that Google is overriding your browser choice because a URL opened in Google app instead of reading the URL they clicked (which starts with `share.google` and hence is handled by the app) is truly the premium Fediverse experience.

Increasingly coming around on the early morning gang's propaganda...

Woke up, caught up on some work stuff, went for a run, picked up my laundry, had a bath, had my breakfast and it's not even 8 AM.

RE: https://androiddev.social/@commonsguy/116397369710330029

Quite literally everything I've been missing in discussion of AI assisted programming, so glad to see this!!

Am I holding things wrong or does the Gitlies instance at android.googlesource.com really base64 encodes the file contents when you try to download it in text format??

Here's an example page for others to try it on: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/support/+/androidx-main/paging/samples/src/main/java/androidx/paging/samples/ItemSnapshotListFlowSamples.kt

Looks like Phanpy added paginated timelines to combat the infinite scrolling dopamine rush, still in beta but already works quite well! Thanks @cheeaun for this and all your great work on Phanpy :blobChefKiss:

Makeship campaigns take so long to wrap up and ship that I had almost forgotten about the Crelly plushie I had purchased last year. Very happy with how it came out, so adorable <3

@funkyidol that's criminal. I waited all this time just to get a good IMAX show, took so long I had enough time to finish the whole book lol

Finally managed to watch Project Hail Mary today! Completely worth enduring the Bengaluru heat wave and traffic, one of the few book adaptations that I wasn't thoroughly disappointed by. Ryan Gosling is phenomenal as always, and the cinematography was surreal. Definitely worth a rewatch at some point.

@ryan please take care and I hope the treatment goes flawlessly!💙💙

Weeknotes are up! It was my birthday this week so a lot more going out than usual, and a bunch of rather sad and frustrating news.

https://msfjarvis.dev/posts/weeknotes-week-15-2026/

#weeknotes #blogging

@ccf They're so goofy I love the design so much

RE: https://androiddev.social/@msfjarvis/116383988142936819

I lived. It was fine.

@niyabits Thank you! :blob_cat_dance:

@funkyidol thanks!

@tris haha I wish. Thanks!!

Happy birthday to me! I'm usually not a very outdoorsy person but have been talked into going go karting with a few friends today, so pray for me please.

@unnick @whitequark I use the Unigram client on Windows which hasn't caught up yet so that's not where my issue is, it's Android where I see the AI button.

@whitequark does seem like it, I got the feature a couple of weeks before yesterday's official announcement and it's so annoying.

How is Bengaluru so damn hot and my parents in New Delhi getting breezy weather.

Well, my manager's leaving at the end of this month, that fucking blows. He was genuinely one of the only leaders I worked under who've measurably improved me as an engineer and a person, and it really sucks to not have more time with him.

@tris Not looking for a change as of now but thanks for thinking of me!

@mjg59 r/BrandNewSentence

@funkyidol it was breezy, the machines aren't bothersome at all. The technician taped the tubes and wires to not flail around too much while I slept and I didn't really feel them. The only downside I noticed was that sleeping on the side is a bit of a hassle since there's a tube that sits right outside your nostrils and wraps around your face.

This is definitely a feature you ship when your product has very good engagement and user satisfaction, and definitely does not need top down coercion to be used by engineers.

https://github.blog/changelog/2026-04-06-copilot-usage-metrics-now-identify-active-and-passive-copilot-code-review-users/

Had to get a sleep study done as part of getting treated for sleep apnea. The person who taped up the instruments on me showed up at 9 PM and told me to sleep soon, so I went to bed around 10 PM instead of my usual 12 or 1 AM. Lo and behold, I am up at 3 AM. Doctor's gonna be real confused when the report comes in.

@nnethercote Oh that's what it is! I fumble Cmd + T vs Ctrl + T rather frequently and get confused when my current terminal tab spits out process info that I didn't know how I was manifesting into existence.

Barely getting the week note done in time!

@chirpbirb IRCv3 is balling! Once the image uploads proposal starts getting implemented in a couple of the big networks we're basically 100% there on feature parity with most modern chat apps.

I have once again fallen for rage bait stupidity in a lobsters thread

@tojikomori Super well written! I hope to one day attend a Holo concert and experience this feeling in person <3

Went out for a walk at 6:30 AM, could get used to this. Not the biggest fan of the sleep schedule though.

@botteaap I think what's missing is `nixos-rebuild` which only runs on NixOS.

For that your options are to either `nix build` the configuration and then copy it over to the machine via `nix copy`. Are you using Nix Flakes?

@botteaap yeah it's not the simplest thing to get into. The community has a lot of work to do for making the onboarding smoother and not have critical information spread across 10 blog posts instead of one wiki.

@botteaap come over to the dark side :androidDealWithIt:

I need to figure out what is up with so many Claw users being stuck on 1.55.0 and spamming my crash logs

@tomasino @cadey the SVN bridge went away in 2024 https://github.blog/news-insights/product-news/sunsetting-subversion-support/

@zsmb13 ewwww why'd they do that

Pushed a new release of my @lobsters app for Android

The UI has had some major touch-ups to improve its accessibility, and the UX around comments has been slightly improved.

@adityabhaskar I've been burning tokens at work unraveling a legacy mess with equal success as people have been seeing in generating the aforementioned mess, there's always space for you to care about the craft if you work in an environment that allows you to.

@adityabhaskar The source code also isn't exactly _bad_

There's a lot of misinformation out there from Hacker News types who think that if they don't understand something it must be wrong. Claude Code is designed with a lot of security mitigations in place that aren't a concern for your typical app, because CC has to treat both the user and the LLM as adversarial.

Code quality has never mattered for product quality, only for organizational longevity.

Shit I completely forgot about #AprilCools while I was busy wallowing in my sickness, gotta think of something quick :blobFacePalm:
