trying out Apple Music instead of YouTube Music. Never used it seriously and no surprises it's schizophrenic. Apple Music > Home > Recently Played > an album. Click play and it plays (and shows) only 1 track which it added to your Library b/c you added it to a playlist while listening to this album.

well, I know it was just a matter of time when this day would come. I just had to restart macos to make it recognise my wired headphones

Woke up with a drum intro and a nice bass melody looping in my head. Pretty sure it's based on something I've heard before, but it feels original. Time to assemble a punk band, yolo. and heal that trauma of cringing at my own voice.

@zed.dev I see an RSS feed for blog updates, but release notes seem available only via email newsletter. Any chance of an RSS for those too?

Increasingly appreciate when apps don't force an urgent update upon releasing new features. It's some special level of, idk, respect an empathy. So rare these days

Well, the experiment of routing all my RSS feeds into an email client didn't work out. Back to a dedicated RSS reader. Giving inoreader a try this time, until @en.sitnik.ru releases his app

Just listened to Carbon Based Lifeforms – Live at Ozora 2024.
Still remember how impressed I got when I first heard their Live at Ozora 2022.
This one feels weaker in comparison. Though still a good listen overall.

Meanwhile, ChatGPT has completely started mixing up my chats with my wife’s. Total schizophrenia. Tried Claude for daily random questions and it’s really bad. Installed Grok for the first time and it feels faster and better in replies, lol

Probably need a meeting to "align on tab-title accuracy." Otherwise it’s clearly too hard a problem for modern web development

Castricum already doesn’t sound very Dutch, and then there’s a street called Sans Souci in it. s.v.p.

Cruise control is the most confusing thing in any car for me. Always overcomplicated for no real reason: redundant modes, weird layouts, different buttons in every brand. The worst I’ve seen is Citroën (maybe PSA-wide now) where the switch hides in the blind zone behind the steering wheel

never been to a resort where you just lay by the pool and do nothing. Ideally family-friendly but chill, no loud animations, discos, or drunk parties, and with decent food. How do you find such places for a winter trip?

I love that the Boston cop slide never got fixed and now people just willingly go down it in tribute. It’s basically a national landmark at this point

There’s a benefit to devices with replaceable batteries. Found an old Garmin eTrex Legend HCx in my gadget graveyard box, put two AAs and it turned on like new. Now it’ll serve for my kid’s geocaching adventures! While a pile of other devices with dead non-replaceable batteries just sit there

Love geocaching, it’s been getting our kid hiking since 2022! Don’t mind paying for services, but web&mobile ux are so terrible. +the monopoly on trackable IDs, ugh. I end up just checking spots on the map without even logging. So now looking into Opencaching and GeoKrety — sound quite promising

Хорошо, что всё чаще говорят, что причин, почему земля плоская, гораздо больше, чем просто то, что это чуток сложно самому проверить. За всей этой конспирологией стоит куча психологических и социальных причин. Часто невозможно просто доказать обратное — всё сложнее, зачастую это просто симптомы.

Building Ikea furniture this weekend reminded me of two challenging life facts:
* If it's not aligned, more force won't help.
* If it's aligned, more force won't help.
Take that, #996.

always a good idea to keep a hidden lego set (or some other diy surprise project) stashed for emergencies. Teachers get sick, no backup arranged, you still need to work. ROI guaranteed.

I think spreadsheets as a concept are brilliant. Can you imagine computers *without* them?
They are simultaneously databases and user interfaces. Manipulation is direct: the input is the output. Reactive programming and no need to reason about outdated state or cache invalidation.
Simply brilliant

Always avoided 6:30-type flights because of our daughter. But this time N. flew alone, and S. insisted we drive to the airport together. Even went to bed earlier to wake up in time. Then came back, caught a bit more sleep, and still made it to school on time. So now it’s the adult who’s struggling
