The thing where everyone went to an algorithmic timeline with no chronological option was a fucking disaster and IMO a huge contributor to how we got where we are today.

Yoooooooooo! That was such a good museum.
If you loved the Living Computer Museum in Seattle as much as I did, you should know that SO MANY of those systems are still alive and running at icm.museum?donate under the same stewardship of Stephen Jones who was curator at LCM. You can visit OR connect remotely! DONATE AND DOUBLE YOUR DONATION!

If you use MobiusSync on iOS, SyncTrain is an immediate improvement. A Shortcut+Automation to sync when you leave/join home wifi works great on top of its improved bg syncing.
One hassle around folder naming, and syncing large photo collections doesn't work (but MS can't touch at all).

How can I use the foldername instead the folderid for foldernames in synctrain-folder. · pixelspark sushitrain · Discussion #41
Hi at MöbiusSync I found my folders at Möbius Sync/. At Synctrain it's synctrain/. Unfortunately the ids are very difficult to remember if I want to select the folder from another app. A workaround...

Removed the Discover tab from my bsky completely, and for when I'm craving something different from my own follow feed, using the "Popular with Friends" feed instead of Discover.
Not having an infinitly refreshable feed of new posts is almost certainly better for my brain overall.

I love them, but only use them for very short actually-only-one-line methods. I treat them like a new type of definition, so my class organization would be:

Beyond his own contributions, Noah was the best at making people feel welcomed into contributing to the Ruby community. When you felt like you were just talking into the void, he would be your first reply, the person in the audience nodding, the first to laugh at your jokes. He'll be deeply missed.
noah was a dear friend. i’m sorry for his family’s loss. rest in peace, friend.
Just found out a good friend and mentor, Noah Gibbs, has passed away. Rest in peace friend, the Ruby community is poorer in your absence.

Noah's wife has asked me to collect stories about Noah for the benefit of his children. They couldn't see how deep and complex and layered his life was, and she would like them to be able to understand that some day.

He thought Ruby was the best way to do (fill in the blank) and he wanted to share his knowledge as widely as possible. His kindness and generosity extended into every corner of his life.
Noah's passing was sudden and very fast. He did not suffer. He is survived by his wife and children.

Noah Gibbs (codefolio, YJIT team, Rebuilding Rails author) has passed away.
His big dream in life was to help build the Ruby community up. He wanted to be like the folks who worked to create the railroads during the industrial revolution.

One of my favorite ways to start sketching out ideas in a new Rails app is to simply create an 'app/views/application/index.html.erb' file and then point the root route at application#index.
From there I can mess around with whatever initial coding experiments I want in a single file.

There are tons of little ways to make little bits of money. Don’t get sucked into this. Introducing money impacts your relationships and people start to feel entitled to more of you and your time.
Determine what it is you make your money doing. Do other activities for free or not at all.
