Weeping Winds with @bbrianandersonn today! Burlier than expected, but so much fun!

‘iOS 26 CarPlay confusing UI/UX - Apple Community’ In iOS 26, Apple CarPlay Maps, the currently focused button is grey, while other buttons (not focused/hovered/selected) are blue. Read this again: it is grey for active, blue for inactive. Every time I try to select a route, I end up missing the right button. It’s truly infuriating. (Via Dr. Drang, whose post exposes other diabolical interaction designs.)

I quite like MG Siegler’s theory that Pluribus is commentary on AI (spoilers!): To wit: All of humanity’s knowledge is involuntarily uploaded to the collective “cloud”, as it were. With this, any of the beings on Earth – aside from a handful that the virus couldn’t infect for unknown reasons – have access to all of this information in real time. And any of the “unenlightened”, when they ask any question of these connected beings, they get back a seemingly factually true, but often bland response in real time.

Artemis, the calm web reader, is thoughtfully designed to be both efficient and privacy-preserving. For instance, it logs only the last month in which you used it: This is why “approximately” is something of a feature: I don’t know what day a user opened their feed last on. I don’t need to in order to fulfill my goal of not retrieving feeds for users who haven’t been active for a while.

A mega fine day spent in the mountains guiding Todd’s 27th and 28th winter 46er high peaks! Clear skies and warm temps kept smiles on our faces! 😁

It’s happened again. I went searching for an obscure web editor for Blot that I used to use, but couldn’t remember the name. Guess what. My own blog post about it was the top link. 😅

Watched: Pluribus 📺 As Robb Knight put it, it’s “the most boring show I can’t stop watching.” I love the mystery and “what ifs” but wish there was more happening. A promising first two episodes turned into a slow burn that I’m nonetheless looking forward to coming back. 👍
