BeOS interface design and user experience were the pinnacle of computing for me in many ways. Super excited about this project to add a C++ UI library to Linux:

@ssamulczyk I am struggling with this purchase myself. iPadOS is possibly interesting now, but I haven't seen enough geek reviews yet.

She has one of the best archaeology and history channels as of late. If you are not looking for the 4+ hour deep dive and want a little amuse-bouche on a topic: start here first.

Seen on Bluesky:

Guy explains to CEO of Signal (messaging) that it's going to add "AI" to the service. She says no. He insists, not knowing or caring who he's talking down to.

@jgobble I got the same thing. I clicked "I Do Not Agree" and it appears no impact thus far. I have been running Jellyfin & Plex side-by-side for a while, knowing this was coming.

I have been a Plex user since 2012 and Lifetime. Sad to see it poisoned like this :(

If you import 10 years worth of bookmarks from Pocket to @readeck you'll likely end up with a bunch of broken ones where the original articles aren't online anymore. I definitely did, so I made a little script to help clean them up.

In my pursuit of further self-hosting, I have set up @readeck and @miniflux.app to fully replace Pocket & Feedly. I highly recommend tossing rss-bridge for good measure.

Some of my most controversial opinions:

– Children deserve food
– Healthcare shouldn’t be a punishment
– Teachers shouldn’t need side hustles to survive

Wild stuff, I know.

Saucy #gnome #flathub action going on here.

I will be taking full advantage of custom categories for Bluefin users!

It's tough to see Slovakia, a country I've spent a lot of time in and always felt had similarities to my home state of Michigan, being hit so hard in the auto industry, much like Michigan is with tariffs. This article really captures the depth of the impact.

@hardpenguin13 RustDesk + Tailscale has solved numerous problems for me.

@neil I use FUTO Keyboard with their voice input

https://eylenburg.github.io/android_comparison.htm made a comparison between #security features of #Android #CustomROM variants. 🤩 I see that @GrapheneOS is really pushing it! So I try to stick with it. 😬 I am already missing a lot of @calyxos features, even though I am still transitioning my stuff. I really grew fond of #CalyxOS for integrated "Caffeine" function, "Shake" to activate torch, "Up-/Download" traffic display in status bar... and so... many... more. 🤷 Let's see how I handle it with #GrapheneOS...

Forgetting to check my water softener's salt levels meant inconvenient basement trips. Inspired by a work application, I realized a time-of-flight (ToF) sensor was ideal.

It non-contact accurately tracks salt levels, is easy to install, and provides real-time updates. Using Eric Lemcke's open-source work, I integrated the ToF sensor with my MQTT broker and @homeassistant

Now, I can monitor salt levels remotely, eliminating guesswork for efficient, worry-free water softening.

Sad to see the future of Pocket announced by Mozilla. Wasn't a fan of the acquisition, but used it since the Read-It-Later days. Time to find a self-hosted alternative.
