I've built a new library that provides a local-first like experience but without the complexity. Count Cachula takes a different approach; it uses the Cache API, the stale-while-revalidate pattern, server-sent events and cache tags to give you the same full-sync experience.

I cancelled my cursor subscription and so should you. Kilo and Amp are so much better and can run in open source containerised vscode. More security, more control, better results, less lock-in and less toxic companies.

I wonder if we're about to see a splinter in the European far right between MAGA worshippers who serve as the fifth column of tech monopolies and nationalists who have to reject fealty.
There's precedent: the French Résistance had fascists and hard conservatives fighting the Nazi occupation.

Here is only at first paradoxical reaction I believe we will see more of - AfD member of the Bundestag Kay Gottschalk argues the US tariffs over Greendland call for more European sovereignty, a European military alliance, a German nuke and ends his video with the slogan "Long live Europe".

Ok but now one step further: every post IS just a text file on my hard drive. local clients work offline and the files are synced to a pds out of band. the same way a service indexes PDSs, there is an sqlite with indexes for the files locally.

we need to stop allowing model and platform providers forcing their clients on us. we need separation of powers for the digital realm. no facebook can be allowed to have an exclusive client with internal apis, no anthropic can be allowed to force their shitty cli and agent ui on their subscription,

In XR light, mode is not a matter of taste, it just does not work. Now is the time to default to dark mode and add light mode optional later.

Because everyone (except OS vendors) is getting this wrong, even component libraries, THIS is how a menu works, memorise it, put it into your component libraries, put it into your rules and prompts. Lets make good menus everywhere: gist.github.com/lucidNTR/363...

The fact that apple calendar is constantly silently failing to move entries, just resetting them where they were or fails to even set event names, leaving me with multiple "new event" entries" which i have no idea what they were and no way to see what happened, should make you anxious.

If faced with the decision to deal with the UX of *nix or giving untrusted agents dangerous access to fix that shit for them, most people will chose the latter and its hard to blame them.

@signal.org s ccc talk has some ok statements but it sounds again like they want to empower app developers to belittle the user and applications being able to opt out of things even if the user consents, which is exactly the kind of android and ios bullshit that crashes automation and interop.
