I want to use Apple Music on desktop, I really do, but there are _so many_ things that are either broken or user hostile that I am pretty close to giving up. Examples in thread 👇

At the outset; I agree, you will have a better social media experience with services that let you curate a reverse chronological feed yourself.
That said, people are lazy and it's _much_ easier for the average person to just let the algorithm make decisions for them.

sketch.dev is great, it's banging away writing tests for me as I type this and so far they've been high quality and worth the $1 USD in Anthropic API credits I've paid for.
I think specifically the quality for Go projects above Claude is minimal but just enough that I trust sketch more.

Messing around with the Claude CLI in my personal monorepo; I'd place it somewhere just above "precocious high-school intern" in terms of skill.
Cool as a novelty, not sure I'll use it seriously, I kind of want to make a local version if only to plug and chug on chore tasks.

"Billionaire proof" social media is an interesting angle, but "large disinfo operation proof" is broadly more useful.
How do you track nation state actors? how do you add reputation to a platform? How do you create a space for constructive debate safely?
Are more interesting problems to me.

NYC congestion pricing kicks in tonight at midnight; as someone who lives solidly within the affected zone, I will be saddened to be no longer treated to men from Nassau county doing full throttle straight pipe pulls while blasting Pitbull at 110db. A part of the city is dying tonight.
