So... How's Your Girl? - Wikipedia

Oh, huh. I’m only just now learning where this came from. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/So..._H...

this is what it feels like to post on bluesky

Haha! I’m certain there’s a terminal entry from Infinity that could be made to match up! Sadly, I just meant β€œI’d rather do unfun things related to the original gamesβ€œ.

Much rather frog blast the vent core.

Honestly, the game just isn’t for me… but I’d rather play β€œColony Ship For Sale, Cheap” a dozen times than more Marathon (2026). I’d rather punch a W’rkncacnter in the snoot.

Oh no, kitty! Hope she feeling better soon!

Probably best not to huff your cat. Hope you’re feeling better soon!

Cool S - Wikipedia

I was happy to see it had its own Wikipedia page, at least: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cool_S

I really hope they look that nice! I don't really need one, but a lower-cost entry level MacBook would be a really fun device for most folks, I'd guess. My day-one M1 MacBook Air is still going surprisingly strong, and I'd expect these things to be faster than it.

Had some great support from @iconfactory.com on a very weird issue. It reminded me that I really love their work, and especially the Wallaroo wallpaper app. It's fun to get new wallpapers from legit artists every week!

This sort of math is about using logic to prove that some complex set of factors is the case. Writing an accepted proof pushes the field of math forward. They’re more like an airtight legal argument than fancy arithmetic. Here’s an answer from the paper: github.com/google-deepm...

Maybe Clint Basinger from LGR? Or someone from Sorted Food (Ben maybe?) Also, just wanted to say that you're knocking it out of the park with this show. It always brightens my day when a new episode arrives!

Discord says hackers stole government IDs of 70,000 users As more sites require IDs for user age verification, expect more such breaches to come.

I had to look and remind myself that, yeah, this isn't even the first time this has happened to Discord. It's almost like having a large collection of people's super-sensitive data is irresistible to hackers!

I don't know anything about Asha Sharma, but I'm not enthused that the "president of CoreAI product" is replacing someone who seemed to actually care about gaming.

I don't run a newsletter, but I've heard good things about Buttondown from some folks who switched to it.

Certainly got my attention! Why does the knob only have four positions? Do the indicators lit up? How close does it feel to an F1 steering wheel? So many questions!

Indigo Indigo is a new social app for Bluesky and Mastodon, by Aaron Vegh and Ben McCarthy.

I'm looking forward to finally showing off what @benricem.bsky.social and I have been working on for, like, 1.5 years. Butterflies and elephants, together at last. πŸ‘€ ❀️

Wes Cook and the Centralia McDonald's Mural A personal story about discovering a mural in a McDonald's, an unknown artist named Wes Cook, saving the mural, and a conference talk about the whole thing.

over a year ago, i gave a talk at the xoxo conference about a mural, a mcdonald’s, and a man. (but it was also secretly about life, and legacy, and meaning.)

finally, i’m blogging the full story, with behind-the-scenes details, and a video of the talk.

enjoy. cabel.com/wes-cook-and...

A screenshot of four overlapping windows in macOS Tahoe. At the top is Safari with the massive window corners that most Apple app have. Second is Google Chrome, which has a slightly smaller corner that I haven't seen other apps use. Then is Outlook with a slightly smaller corner, and finally a Photoshop image window with the smallest corner β€” but one that's still slightly larger than it was before Tahoe. Red lines denote where the corners end.

I know it's the smallest thing in the world right now, but I continue to be flummoxed by the terribly inconsistent window corner radii in macOS Tahoe. Today's bought of argh was brought on by Chrome (2nd from top) updating to v. 145 and still having a forth radius size I haven't seen elsewhere.

Bluesky Map Interactive map of 3.4 million Bluesky users, visualised by their follower pattern.

I made a map of 3.4 million Bluesky users - see if you can find yourself!

I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

I’ve been experiencing existential dread about this for the last few months. More and more of my dev work is better left to a coding agent, and I really don’t love that.

I've never read such an incredibly information-free corporate release. It's honestly kind of impressive… though I would still like to ask a lot of questions of Nitin's t-shirt.

In other news, I've been having good luck with DigitalOcean's App Platform!
