It doesn't happen often, but goddamn, seeing Bluesky losing its login on a phone is enough for me to just uninstall the fucking thing.

There's so many good games this year.
And yet, I'm also finding my way to beloved older titles and I'm also having a blast there.
Expedition 33 is the best, then Silksong. I heard Hades 2 is also heading to it's full release soon so... yeah.

People complain about JIRA and Atlassian on how much it sucks.
I agree, it hurts to use. But nothing really exists that operates on the same level AND isn't some godawful enterprise-only pricing.
You need to hit both if you want to dethrone it.
Same principle with Excel imho.

Every time I look at Twitter or Reddit or some other big community, I always think that they almost never represent what's actually the end-users.
The majority of folks either use no social media at all, or use one that's outdated or not on your own. Or in a different language.

Uninstalled ollama, reinstalled LM Studio.
Funnily enough, I did the same before because I was frustrated at how LMS handled itself and ollama did better back then and now it's the other way around.

Sometimes, I wish I got reminded of the little terminal utilities and applications I download and use since I forget that I have them already and they're awesome.
`posting` (a TUI API client) and `ncdu` (ncurses disk usage) are some of them.

I was wondering why this was in my YouTube feed because I use DeArrow to hide thumbnails then I watched it.
Was genuinely pleased and laughing loud to see Persona 5's design as a challenge for building a UX in Compose and as a conference talk.

Ngl, I used Bluesky less lately because the feeds I rely on stopped working (from why, I believe) and my Following list was cluttered without it.
I like reading news, but I wish I can follow agencies but mute them in Following.
Now I have to unfollow and add them to a list instead.

God, every time I see these kinds of popups in modern software, I'm convinced we have a generation of UX designers that have never seen how people fucking hated Clippit.

Gemini on the web or app has vastly improved. I remember it being unreliable especially at advanced stuff and it was bad compared to the stellar API results.
Now? I can actually get good results AND it works on Workspace + mobile.
It's finally on par with the API.

Jetbrains getting all these updates is neat. I wasn't even expecting to get AI Pro and Junie out of the APP but it's getting added and that's neat.
Junie is such a good addition, since it's a nice catch-up to what the VSCode editors are getting, and building simple apps with it is nifty.

Every time I use security products meant for business, I can't help but think what they're shipping is just as bad as the malware they're fighting against.
The amount of them leeching so much CPU resources when idle, obsessive startup and persistence and annoyances is disgusting.

The lines between what appears to be a human troll and an AI one is becoming difficult to figure out.

The solution to getting rid of the reactions nag message in macOS is to disable FaceTime notifications and restarting your Mac completely.

Thankfully OWASP has at least the important bits covered.

macOS Photos is a piece of software that I want to use, but because it doesn't play along with anything else besides Apple's ecosystem, it remains unused.
A shame, really.
If they made it work with the user's preferred structure and preferably through network shares, I'd use it a lot.

Perplexity Assistant on Android is a very pleasant experience.
I've never been happy with Gemini as a quick lookup assistant but Perplexity actually does this better.
I just wish it subtitled my speech so I could correct myself if the mic interpreted me wrongly.
