Homebrew has honestly been the best secret ingredient in my raspberry pi setup, fantastic to see official support for the architecture

At no point do I plan to buy them, but I do appreciate that Meta Ray-Bans finally make found footage horror films plausible without all the storytelling gymnastics

In no way an ad, bought the lofree flow 84 lite and honestly I’m obsessed with it now.

Normally I can’t stand linear switches, but there’s some sorcery happening with those low profile switches.

Moving my stack over to @bunny.net and @fly.io was surprisingly straightforward. Honestly feels like a weight off my shoulders to finally sort this out

I can't even tell you how happy this makes me. @kennym.bsky.social built the greatest comics app in the much missed Omnibus and I cannot wait to see what he and the @sweetdotdev.bsky.social do with Sweet Shop!
This week on Off Panel, @sweetdotdev.bsky.social's @kennym.bsky.social joins the podcast to talk about what he's building at Sweet, his own path to comics, why he wanted to build marketing tools and a new digital comic store, working with (and learning from) creators, and more.

after years of digital comics, I recently went back to physical comics. Why is it though that the big two are the most expensive and printed on worse paper than the smaller books?

Like $5 for a comic where I can feel the ink transfer onto my hands..eww
