My politics can be summed up as β€œBe kind and help people to live.”

And apparently that makes me a radical leftist. so be it.

@joe.codes I switched back to Code from Storm and its amazing how far the Laravel extension has come in a year. Thank you for all the amazing work. My favorite new (to me) feature is the built in test runner.

A 3D printed case on a wood coffee table. The print has a large compartment across the top that stores my syringes, and the bottom section is divided into three. The left section has three cylindrical holes for testosterone. The middle section takes up 75% of the bottom section. It's for storing alcohol wipes, but also conveniently holds my daily med case. The last section is small and holds some of my rescue meds.

Over the weekend, I printed this snap-together case. It holds my HRT, daily meds, and rescue migraine meds.

Yeah! More and more of my friends are not on social media regularly, so I want to send them updates and hopefully have it spark conversations or connection but also texting a ton of people individually is kind of a pain πŸ˜…
Maybe email is better for this, but I hate email.

I had a similar thought but sms instead

I’m also building a task manager, so I’m thinking of having NFCs hook into that. I.e started the dishwasher, fed dogs etc

I got some for Christmas! I have one on my med case that has a shortcut to open up the Apple health app to the medications page. And another one on my phone charger on my desk to put my phone and laptop into focus mode.

Nice! This is my current favorite bin generator tool: gridfinitygenerator.com/en

And this ruler has actually been helpful (even though my spouse thinks it's ridiculous): makerworld.com/en/models/85...

Yeah, and I think he meant the first one to be a joke, potentially, cause I think it also came out on April 1st. But those jokes always go over my AuDHD head πŸ˜‚

The printer is great, right?! I've got the P1S and still love it. Have you looked into/seen Gridfinity at all?

Wow, Laramap is really taking off. I never expected so many fellow developers to sign up. Thanks to this amazing community. Additionally, the first companies have reached out to support the project. Huge thanks to @ploi.io and Chief Tools.

I’ve used proton for a year, and I really like them. Though one thing that is worth noting that might be a make/break is if you use Apple Calendar or Apple Mail it’s a bit cumbersome to get working, to the point where I gave up and just use the web client on desktop and their apps on my iPhone.

Super greatful that @calebporzio.bsky.social invited me to the first Wire:Live to share tips and tricks I've learned from building Livewire! It was an awesome chill conference. Thank you to everyone who said they enjoyed my talk! Recordings will be available soon.
