Yeah. Very annoying when riding the subway!
The Relisten app is great for royalty-free jam band recordings

The YouTube Music app works fine while offline, and has some pretty darn thoughtful download settings
FWIW there’s a chrome plugin that did this, idk if it still works

Yeah, if Facebook wants to keep anyone around they need a slider to turn politics off, even if they make you pay for it

The future is already here, it’s just not evenly distributed.
I see plenty of developers insisting AI coding tools are overhyped and error-prone.
But I’m also starting to see the opposite, people who’ve fully embraced them and now find they’re so good it’s triggering a real crisis of confidence.
Time for my big year end blogpost about the Atmosphere.
From the personal computing perspective, the cloud has been a disaster — but we shouldn't run away from it.
We can solve a lot of problems by connecting our clouds, turning it into atmospheric computing.

Yeah, I'd be pretty furious if I got spam email from some "AI agent" thanking me for my contributions too
I dug into what happened here, turns out it's an experiment called "AI Village" which unleashes all sorts of other junk emails on the world: simonwillison.net/2025/Dec/26/...
the sort of wintry week in December where you linger after showering just for a crumb of humidity

"The children are alright. They are also incomprehensible. These two facts are not contradictory."
old letter from 1943, after the signature says "Dictated but not read by Mr Wallace"
20th century - "dictated but not read"
21st century - "prompted but not thought about"
the best I can figure is this is some sort of postmodern extension of “nobody ever got fired for buying IBM”…
-> “nobody ever got dunked on, on twitter, for picking 11ty” ?
Thinking more about the 11ty phenomena…
why am I seeing a giant profile photo grid of their 300+ contributors?
who is andy bell and why am I supposed to care that he says Jekyll is dead to him?
and then there are a dozen+ other testimonials from people I’ve never heard of
Anyway, never judge a book by its cover - only time will tell
But the takeaway - think about why people are looking for the thing you made
The tools we use matter - it’s nice to find a project that feels like it’s meeting me where I’m at
Getzola.org home page
Then I checked out Zola and it’s a breath of fresh air.
- simple, to the point
- assumes the reader knows what an ssg is and is making an informed choice
- quickstart docs use precise language and feed you information in the order you need it
I think they’re all fine projects that would get the job done.
But as I said, I’m in Goldilocks mode over here
Anyway this is what I gleaned from their home pages
Pelican & Nikola - these are ssgs and have the features ssgs have
Hugo - is 1. fast and 2. popular and 3. actively developed
11ty - affirms your identity as a web dev
Tbh I’d rather not set it up myself - but I don’t trust platforms
I don’t even particularly want to write - I’d prefer to communicate by beaming ideas into the ether
But here we are
