I make cool projects and create content about (mostly) technical topics. I also rant way too much about making it remotely possible to get around without a car.

To facilitate the Scream Cipher's adoption in our daily lives, I've created a tool that lets you encrypt and decrypt messages using it. Enjoy!
Stay home y'all

last week i remembered that macOS lets you set your own icons and that *I* have the power to delegitimize the professionalism of the software that runs on my machine, so here's a thread of the 16 new icons i've made so far

i really forgot how fun it was to just sit down and make art for myself :')

I should probably be concerned about how little money my brain thinks a million, billion, even a trillion dollars is. That's an absurd amount of money, and it's completely inconsistent with my personal finances (even a missing $100 is hell)

As much mental hell as the sleep deprivation has put me through, I have never felt more blessed than as a father. It's hard and you definitely feel like a failure more than a few times, but God it's worth it 💕

Honestly, you don't have to do all of that. Get rid of parking and give an alternative mode of transport. I took the train 2 hours today when driving would have been an hour because I didn't want to think about parking.
i wonder how much of Americans' views on driving vs. transit would change if they had to pay for gas/insurance/etc every time they turned on the engine

"i'm not paying $5 to take the train to work twice a day when i can just drive" is a genuine opinion held by so many people

Twitter implemented a new feature last night that displayed the country an account is in. So many of the ‘America First’ accounts were from foreign countries that they had to disable the feature within hours. 🙄

It's on apt. It's literally on Cargo. It's on DockerHub with ads. It's literally on nuget. You can probably find it on snap. Dude it's on portage. It's a Homebrew original. It's on pacman. You can download it on nixpkgs. You can go to pkgsrc and watch it. Log onto the Windows Store right now.

@tangled.org is such a great role model for projects in this moment

- actually does the thing: useful, accessible
- innovates/differentiates at *product* level: stacked review
- hybrid at proto layer (git and AT), pulls in bsky profile data
- built in europe by small amitious team

According to Bloomington Police Chief Booker Hodges, officers started the three-day sting on Nov. 5. They used several methods to find people who were attempting to solicit a 17-year-old girl for sex.

I should make an ATProto package registry (I will probably have zero time to do this)
Yeah, exactly. This was a decision made a long time ago that made sense back then because doing account management securely is very hard. Now it might make sense to do something else, but the assumptions are entrenched..
