Decided to try #Arch #Linux for this. Manual install for the first time because had problems with archinstall script. Same problem with manual install (keyring / signatures) but figured it out. Then I forgot to enable encryption & had to redo. Lot of troubleshooting before I got it working.

iOS Bluesky client bug. Shows “1mo” for both but the post I’m reskeeting is 1 month before my post (should be “2mo”). It makes it seem like they were both 1 month ago from now, which detracts from how I was trying to show that Max correctly predict an event that happened about 1 month after his post

macOS has a subset of #Emacs keyboard shortcuts in text fields, but many years ago I started using 3rd party tools to have Emacs style PgUp, PgDn, Home, End, Undo in all apps. Using BetterTouchTool currently for this. Pressing ctrl-v with my left hand to scroll my Bluesky feed 🤓

Reason for using JetBrains backup & sync feature is its automatic and I can jump between machines with my personal settings automatically synced across without thinking about it.
Looks like VSCode has a similar feature that I'm turning on though I don't use VSCode very often.

#Tampa City Council District 5 special election giving me a chance to work on my election tools. Lot of hastily written code w/ things for Jessica Vaughn @jessicavaughn.bsky.social hard-coded all over. Opportunity to clean up. Now have Claude Code, etc to help do things quicker #dev #elections

Had Claude Code summarize my election / voter tools written in #Kotlin. Accurate summary, though have some old code I don't use anymore, like using Postgres. Loading and processing data files in memory on the JVM is simpler & faster, and Kotlin can be more expressive and powerful than SQL. #Java

Stopped using X except very rare cases to something. Still have my account but deleted all my posts, etc. Realized I still have the app installed, and deleted it in case it does something malicious. E.g. location tracking though I doubt I gave it permission. The app should be considered malware.
