Not a bug… 🤔

Pro tip: Click on user's workload summary for the day (color-coded number of available hours) to see how ActiveCollab came up with the number - meetings, tasks, estimates, all is there.

Don't over analyze any publicly stated reasoning for the good old "third theme makes no different (low usage, irrelevant user group etc), so we are dropping it".

Walking around with a book in your hand is the ultimate flex. People be like: "damn, where you find time to read".

AI is multi-tasking amplifier: "I'm frequently finding myself with work on two or three projects running parallel. I can get so much done, but after just an hour or two my mental energy for the day feels almost entirely depleted." simonwillison.net/2026/Feb/9/a...

This is a great question.

Rare FOMO that I like as much as my JOMO's 🧀

AI Companies Don’t Have a Profitable Business Model. Does That Matter? The generative AI boom is fueled by staggering investments (including OpenAI’s multibillion-dollar chip deals), but for many companies, profitability as a result of these investments has remained…

MCP server development feedback loop:

1. Imagine there's an MCP for the app like XYZ, write me N prompts how a typical user would use it
2. Study my MCP server, can you run the scenarios that you proposed?
3. Fix shortcomings
4. Repeat 🔁

ActiveCollab 8 is available to customers with self-hosting licenses 🚀 It brings 100+ new features and improvements (we stopped counting at 100). There is no area of the application that was not touched and improved by our team. Thank you for your continued support. 🙏

Oldschooling a big project plan.

"May thy knife chip and shatter" 🔪

Gimick. Mesecima ne taknem "veliki" foto aparat (R6) sa "velikim" staklom (35mm f1.8, 85mm f1.2, 24-70mm f2.8 itd), kao, telefon je dovoljan. Onda uzmem foto aparat i bukvalno je SVAKA fotografija bolja od one koju telefon napravi.

Canon EOS R and R6 firmware upgrade

Upgrading firmware on both cameras at once. YOLO

One of the characteristics of weak local currency is higher export, and lower import competitiveness. Some countries have used it intentionally to bolster up their exports (Japan, China…). Not saying that it's the game here, just that it's a game that is sometimes played.

I did not make up the term - it's been observed and discussed by developers in the past. For modern software it's usually environment and dependencies, but there are also cases where software has bugs that take decades to present themselves (NES Tetris after level 155 for example).

Software rot is a phenomenon where software starts to misbehave even when nothing in the code changes. It's not always present, but it does affect a lot of software, especially highly interconnected software, which most of the modern software is.

I'm not an economist, but I would reasonably assume that I have $10K hourly rate if my businesses bring me 2M a month in income and value appreciation directly through my activities (approximation based on 200 effective hours a month).

Not saying that I agree with the direction. It's either intent, or neglect, or potent mix of both, that gives us these interfaces.

Windowing (toolbars, scrollbars…) is fading away to give space to content. General direction is to have it only when needed (scrollbars), explicitly requested (toolbar text), or not at all (visible drag handle for window resizing). Most are now considered accessibility features, off by default.

That is bad way to set up the system. People who actually care about app icons don't have it set up like that. Default is far from perfect, I would expect far more in decades of development, but not as bad as your second screenshot for sure…

Simplest form, as it can be added to all accounts (or selectively activated for suspicious login attempts) without user pre-configuring anything. System is exposed if we wait for users to set up 2FA, this is a way for product to take security seriously and provide 2FA to everyone.

All sorts of ideas, yes. We don't have free plan, so I don't mind tire kicking, as they don't incur much cost. It's the intent why we're keeping a close eye on such accounts. It's either:

* low (perfectly fine, not everyone's ready to buy)
* malicious (looking for ways to send malicious spam)

We added email normalization years ago, did not help a ton. More important is that they actually have to have that Gmail account (can't make it up), and they have to go through Google's confirmation loop (extra steps). This reduced, but did not completely remove spammy Gmail trials.

We have an email input and a Google button as a way to create a trial. If they enter @gmail.com address in the email input, we force them to use the button. The ones who proceed verify that it's a legit Gmail account.

Which list of disposable domains do you use?

Me and my family bought 5 new VW group cars between 2007. and 2015 (up, Polo, Golf, A5 and A6 allroad). Still own them, still run them, and we passed on newer generation cars. They prioritized all the wrong things - multiple screens, touch for climate and media, capacitive pads. No reason to upgrade

Don't use the app, use web UI. Ignore For You. Create a list of people that you actually want to engage with and use that as default stream. Post and reply using a specialized tool, like Buffer or Hypefury. Never casually read, intentional only.

And finally, don't overthink. It's just a network.

One of the takeaways from Capital in the XXI Century by Thomas Piketty is that path of a successful entrepreneur is to become a rentier. Don't get a job, become an investor and make your capital work for you. It's a job, especially in the beginning, when transitioning. Food for though.

There's also Primitive War (2025), which combines dinos and historical war theater (Vietnam War). Based on its reviews and reviews of Iron Sky 2, it looks like a really hard story to pull off well.

I highly disagree with using artificial satellites to destroy planets and all of its inhabitants. Good news is that they did not ask me for an opinion they made Star Wars. Trouble with modern Hollywood is that they are more focused on being politically correct than telling great stories.
