There are so many great Linux softwares that are distributed exclusively by putting .deb and/or .rpm files into Github Releases, which means I have to "Watch" for new releases and manually download/install. I made a @cloudflare.social Worker to add these projects to my package manager.

2025 podcast stats were a bit off this year. Switching to some ad-free subscription feeds partway through the year threw off my top 5 and total show counts, and others adding more video visuals meant more podcast time on YouTube than usual. Still though, 26.2 days of listening ain't bad.
A screenshot of the Pocket Casts 2025 Year in Review saying "You tuned into 42 podcasts and 643 episodes" A screenshot of the Pocket Casts 2025 Year in Review saying "Your other go-tos: more favorites, more play, more you" and a top 5 most listened podcasts list with #1 The Vergecast, #2 Dungeons and Daddies, #3 The Besties, #4 My Brother, My Brother and Me, and #5 The Adventure Zone A screenshot of the Pocket Casts 2025 Year in Review saying "37,857 minutes listened" A screenshot of the Pocket Casts 2025 Year in Review saying "Your listening dropped 15% this year, but hey, quality over quantity" and two circles showing 2024 as 738 hours and 2025 as 630 hours.

As expected, the Qualcomm enshittification of @officialarduino.bsky.social has begun. Expressif's ESP32 stuff has already been a better platform for some time... I guess I'll have to learn the ESP-IDF ecosystem now instead of the Arduino IDE.
A social media post from Adafruit that says: Qualcomm-owned Arduino quietly pushed a sweeping rewrite of its Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, and the changes mark a clear break from the open-hardware ethos that built the platform. The new documents introduce an irrevocable, perpetual license over anything users upload, broad surveillance-style monitoring of Al features, a clause preventing users from identifying potential patent infringement, years-long retention of usernames even after account deletion, and the integration of all user data (including minors) into Qualcomm's global data ecosystem. Military weird things and more. Several sections effectively reshape Arduino from an open community platform into a tightly controlled corporate service with deep data extraction built in. The most striking addition: users are now explicitly forbidden from reverse-engineering or even attempting to understand how the platform works unless Arduino gives permission. That's a profound shift for a brand long embraced by educators, makers, researchers, and open-source advocates. With the cloud having a rough day and many systems offline, yesterday... Anyone invested in transparency, community governance, or data rights should read these documents closely.

That thing that happened to airports in the last 15 years where they kick out all of the eateries that people like and invent new shitty brands, all owned and operated by the same parent company? It's happening at music venues! Live Nation offers the same nasty syrup cocktails at different venues :(

I love my OneWheels but really dislike the @onewheel.bsky.social company. First there was all of the anti-right-to-repair BS when the GT came out, and now my very expensive GT-S' charger failed just 15 months after purchase. Their response? "It may be time to buy a new one at onewheel.com !"
Screenshots of emails ordering a $3,400 OneWheel in July of 2024, and then them denying being able to replace a failed charger in October of 2025.

*italics* and **bold** in the original Markdown spec is illogical.

It should be /italics/, *bold*, and _underline_.

Delightful read.

"The primacy of meta-activities—optimizing for algorithms, visibility theater, consumer entrapment, externalization of costs, performative internal alignment, horse-trading amongst a set of DOA ideas—is poison."
