@jessamyn privacy by default or developer omission/error? tough to tell nowadays

@jayroh @irafcummings @fred @threetonesun oh is the tv series just based on the first book? i read seven books

designers of grill pans should be legally required to use a grill at least once in their lives. #

my favorite part of this week was the end.

when it ended? that was my favorite part.

@atpfm listening to the liquid glass discussion - i found the intro video from wwdc to make well-reasoned arguments and i think if this is implemented as intended, it will be good. obviously we’re deep in beta territory right now https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2025/219

@irafcummings @threetonesun i look forward to watching this soon since i loved the books so much. it's tough to get the family on-board with episodic television though, perhaps i can just say “there's this new youtuber called ‘Martha Wells’…”

that thing where you've been fretting about how to integrate a new feature/datatype into your existing site in a disparate technology and then 💡

i can just make it a subdomain

i call it “winning the Apple News lottery” when i open up the application and don’t see a photo of the president

a milestone quietly passed this week. 29 years ago, i started my first professional web development job. “Webmaster” at Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston.

@RecDiffs @siracusa @hotdogsladies did you have a similar experience in school?

“michael refuses to apply himself.”

@fred @marcamos does this mean i don’t have to learn metric anymore?

fun exercise: viewing archives of my website on my 34" ultra-widescreen monitor. (inconceivable monitor sizes at the time, of course) https://history.mikesusz.com/

@atpfm @siracusa we've already done AI in a Potato, it was not good

@jsnell @sixcolors a few from my archives that you might like

@annika ooh that's a nice refresh. i went with a lenovo Y34wz-30 because of mini-LED backlight, but i really haven't used HDR much because the bright is BRIGHT.

@annika ooh neat, which one? is it widescreen? i had a monoprice 34" for a while, my wife took that one over and i have a lenovo legion 34" now. i love it. super useful to be able to split the widescreen between two different inputs, e.g. i've got the left half attached to a dock with my work Mac, and the right half displaying my personal Mac.

@irafcummings getpocket.com/export they sent me a link to a .csv of every article i have unread and archived

@_Davidsmith this is so cool and great to see this kinda tech come so far.

i had terrible flashbacks to the 90s & manually skewing and stitching images in photoshop to create 240x180 QTVR movies from my quicktake 100 camera.

@jerzone better yet, i never told the kids what we were doing. we just stopped at a weird parking area at the end of the road and i started walking. lol

@jerzone if you're ever in the area, it's quite a sight. https://www.nhstateparks.org/find-parks-trails/madison-boulder-natural-area

@jerzone okay i have to ask, have you taken the journey over to Madison? i stopped there with my boys on our way home from Mt. Washington and it was ... quite epic for a quick stop.

@annika i remember being blown away when The Flame in the Flood published a cosplay guide when they released the game. this stuff is so cool.

exciting! creating a new collection on your website to display a new type of content.

not exciting: having to write all the content being displayed, or at least enough for now to make shipping the feature worthwhile.

@jerzone oh man, make that top panel a big fresnel magnifier

@jerzone foiled by a lack of iron!

@jerzone i keep an old magnetic dashboard phone-mount on my desk so i can chuck all the tiny screws at it while i work on projects. if i drop something i can usually sweep that around near the floor and find it eventually. not sure about sproinging things though, that’s gonna increase the target area.

@annika i’ve learned a few sh script tricks by looking at installers for stuff like Astro.

@revmem right? like two 8-10 minute spats that dropped over an inch here. wild.

@marcamos @heymarkreeves i think basketballs are cheaper

@revmem the best option for me is probably cancel all the subscriptions and pay for exactly the things i want to watch?

i hate to say, but i kinda want cable and a DVR again. i have so many subscriptions right now, but any time i have an idea to watch a specific thing, it’s not available anywhere and i have to pay for it.

@gruber my favorite is when it’s styled blue text with an underline decoration but not an actual link to anything

I Write Codes not Tragedies

okay, some of the codes are tragedies

@threetonesun you think that’s more or less expensive than a live goose? 🤔

@jdarnold i’m the guy who keeps a little bike multi-tool in my backpack so i can adjust and tighten all the monitor arms :)

@jdarnold monitors misaligned. please fix.

hold on, nobody asked for humidity.

@atpfm @caseyliss casey. get a tiny usb-c to lightning adapter.

@marcamos me, checking that box, when i know that the website won’t.

@revmem ooh, i haven't had those. my fave in this area (er, new england, probably) is bagel alley in nashua

@sarajw too bad it doesn’t help you to know both exactly where you are and exactly how fast you’re moving

ceo: "people are canceling their premium accounts! what can we do?"
tech bro: "hold my beer."

as i read your training material, every time you use an acronym and don’t explain it, i get to poke you in the eye

not a lot of technical here (the tutorials and guides are great) but i documented my latest journey to self-hosting. https://mikesusz.dev/blog/coolify-setup/

@annika i usually spend my first half hour looking for an RJ45 for my travel router and then i take a nap. sometimes the tvs let you HDMI into them so that’s nice.

i just finished reading The Murderbot Diaries entire series and i didn’t find out until i was on book 3 or 4 that Apple was making TV out of it and now i’m … what’s the word for being both excited and mad?

@atpfm I thought that they were holding off on releasing nice colors on macs until they have an update where the specifications are lackluster.

@atpfm has @siracusa already weighed in on this? https://www.wired.com/story/sony-rgb-led-tv/

@jdarnold i’ve been taking lactase enzyme for years now. it’s … ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@jerzone @m750 this is funny but ... my nephew piped his gaming PC's cooling through his floor and put the radiator+fans in his basement. free basement heat!
