Love Tauri, it feels much simpler than the likes of Capacitor, and the out of the box experience is hugely more flexible than Electron.
Biggest drawback is dealing with WebKit on MacOS, really.
File managers suck, that's why I've been building one in my free time for the past 3 years. Phials is cross-platform, powered by Rust & Svelte via Tauri, and incredibly extensible.
It's almost ready, and I'm real excited to start sharing what it can do.
AI is effectively a ploy by the bourgeoisie to steal and emulate the labor of the the proletariat so they don't have to pay the already exploitatively low wages anymore.
The only way AI companies can justify their valuations is if the displace millions of workers, there is no other vector.
Ah yes, blaming the victims of capitalism for the effects of capitalism. The fact that any single person can accrue that much wealth and wield it to hurt others is clearly the real problem, and unilaterally putting the blame on people (who likely support trans rights) is very counterproductive.
Anyone else feel completely unrepresented in public discourse?
Almost every take on every topic across the political spectrum seems born of a unrealistic idealism, moral grandstanding, lying for ones own self interest, circlejerking, or just plain ignorance.
Time to unplug for a bit.
The home page and search algorithms of YouTube have deteriorated dramatically over the past month or so, and at this point are borderline unusable.
Opened YouTube today and my home page was entirely either videos I've already watched or channels I'm not subscribed to.
I’m sure you’re aware, but a significant amount of people feel how you feel (myself included), most are just not very vocal about it.
Political violence, historically speaking, is the most important kind of violence, particularly under fascism.
I thought the AI induced psychosis issue was relatively rare, until OpenAI turned off the sycophantic faucet that was 4o.
Nope, media still automatically pauses.
Cloudflare / Google Cloud Platform outages.

FWIW half the internet is down
Outside of scaffolding new simple projects, I definitely haven't found much productivity boost with agentic AI tools.
Did you try Cursor Tab much? It is lightyears ahead of any other AI autocomplete in my experience, and makes up for the frustrating vim experience.
I found ortholinear layouts and the split to be pretty easy to get used to.
The reduced key count takes a bit longer, but because of the flexibility and programmability of boards like this, it not only compensates for that, but becomes an overall improvement.
Gotta really like tinkering though 😅
I’ve likely tried over 100 keyboards at this point, and I always come back to the Sofle.
Finally moved over to a wireless board and got sunset switches, and I don’t think I’ll ever use another keyboard again.
I'd caution against formulating prejudice on nation of origin alone. No people (or in this case company) are inherently reflections of their governments, and acting as such a slippery slope.
Judge things on their merits, not on generalized bias'.
I feel like people who hate on CSS have never tried to build a UI in any other programming language.
People don't understand that when the amount of money indebted passes a certain threshold, especially when held by an institution like a national government, it becomes leverage for the borrower. The lender now has incentive for the borrower to succeed, or at least sustain.
Shocked this hasn't been made before a very glad it has. Super cool.
Maybe it's because I'm taking Svelte for granted, but I feel no reason to use a CSS library. Vanilla CSS in 2025 is honestly pretty great.
AI seems very far from making novel meaningful connections between disparate pieces of data. Its a metric for AGI I don't see discussed much.
LLM's appear to be inherently bottle-necked by inference and the requirement of producing reasonable results.
Reason is not the birthplace of novelty.
Doesn't appear to have databases. Perhaps I'm mistaken?
I find Obsidian to be plenty powerful, especially as a tinkerer. It's query performance def isn't that of a good indexed postgres db, but is acceptable enough to achieve pretty much everything you could in Notion, with a little elbow grease.
I can't recall the last time GitHub had an outage, if they ever have.
I'd be pretty smug if the issue is from some AI-generated code they deployed.
Nvidia keynote tldr
I should have bought more nvidia stock last year.
Symbols dont provide the same syntax as a built in prototype method though, and arguably harder to read than using a utility function.
someStr.capitalize()
vs
someStr[capitalize]?.()
Also perhaps I'm mistaken but wouldn't symbols also still have a similar performance as proto changes directly?
This week I learned why people don't extend the builtin javascript prototypes.
While a simple utility method library isn't that much extra syntax to achieve the same end, it's still a bummer.
The faster AI can solve a challenge you're facing, the greater the net-negative impact it has on your competence as a programmer.
Also people who type things like this are masochists. So verbose.
If you take this same pattern, but make it broader in scope to cover a specific concern you can do all kinds of neat stuff. I tend to create pseudo-class modules that handle the state and logic for different areas.
I also took the time to add things most themes seem to overlook, like recoloring symbol icons, and common extensions like error lens.
Will be bringing Fern to nvim soon.
Have always felt like green is a very under-utilized color for editors, and UI in general, so I made the Fern color scheme.
VSCode extension currently includes a flat dark mode and file icons (using recolored Catppuccin)

Working from home and t-shirts with pockets are a match made in heaven.
