Consider my attention grabbed.
UK covers, in my experience, are consistently better than US covers and, with this, the pattern holds! I think I prefer the ANZ font though.

The more I think about it, there are so many features that could make this even more fun.

Have a context window of 500 words. If that's not enough to make things make sense... Well, you'll be a more true to life LLM

I wish it had "sessions" so you could see reactions and follow-up. Seeing context would also be useful.

I'm leaving for the airport in two hours for a flight to Thailand. Let's play a game of listing all the things I'm going to wish I'd brought once I arrive!

Migration to #eurosky complete. Everything feels... The same. Back to planning world domination then.

Quit ChatGPT: right now! Your subscription is bankrolling authoritarianism | Rutger Bregman As a historian, I’ve studied the major consumer boycotts of history. We can take down ChatGPT and send a powerful signal to Silicon Valley, says author and historian Rutger Bregman

"The most effective consumer boycotts in history share two qualities: they are narrow and they are easy," writes @rutgerbregman.com

Or worse, it reminds me a little of Nina from FMA :(

There's little more satisfying than peeling back the moist seal atop a freshly opened tub of Greek yoghurt.

When I cba to weigh it, I just pretend it doesn't count and scoff it without guilt.

Incidentally, I don't seem to be shifting any weight.

SlopStop | Kagi's Docs Kagi Search Help

I'm a long-time Kagi user, but clearly don't check their docs often enough... Because I miss cool new features like SlopStop!

This, paired with the option to exclude AI images, really makes a difference in the world of enslopification.

DNS migration from Cloudflare to Bunny was absolutely painless.

Now I need a European replacement for Cloudflare tunnels.

Another milestone achieved: Gleam had its first conference!

Thank you, @crowdhailer.bsky.social and Laura, for organising the #GleamGathering 2026 and bringing together dozens of Gleamlins in one place 🩷

Continuing to be absolutely floored by how @denizcamp.bsky.social's Ultimates comic series both understands, and rises to meet, the current moment. The unreality of the comic's own world as a mirror to our own - brand consumerism won't save you; better pick up a brick instead.

It's fantastic.

GitStore A Gleam library for using GitHub as backend storage

I've just released v2.0.0 of GitStore - a #Gleam library for interacting with git forge repositories.

The major change is adding support for Codeberg and Forgejo. And in the spirit of that, the project source code has been moved to Codeberg:
