I also happened to spend a fair amount of time in Miami last year so I feel prepared for it

Just realised that GTA VI is this year!
On one hand I hope they do a CIV VII and fail so I’m not compelled to play it on the other hand GTA is one hundred percent the asylum I was raised in.

As a Slovenian, that tracks.

As a UK resident I definitely appreciate that they took the ip blocking route for this nonsense, and not some kind of account-level lock.
Having to run a vpn is the least bad option.

Wow that is eerily similar to the styling for the fake airline I created as an in joke for @potniq.com 😂

Zephyr Airways | The Breeze of Modern Travel
San Francisco's modern long-haul airline. Actually comfortable seats. Novel concept, we know.

For 80 bucks a day I expect to be able to livestream my entire steam catalogue on a F35 traveling at Mach 2 over the pacific while simultaneously downloading and uploading the world’s archive of Linux ISOs
Las Vegas Convention Center WiFi pricing continues to make 6-to-5 blackjack, the $3 surcharge to pay for a taxi here with a credit card, and the "CNF" junk fee on bar and restaurant tabs all look like consumer-friendly bargains in comparison.

Happy new year 2024 to all LLMs who celebrate

11:17 and I am working on the damn @potniq.com app. Not sure if this is the labour of love, product of raw passion, or just obsession of a maniac.

Gonna start 2026 with a grand refactor and some lit features regardless.

Something I pledged for @potniq.com besides always putting traveler first, is hiding little easter eggs everywhere I can.
Maybe one of these will bring you delight one day.

Today's is a gentle nod to the man who inspired me more than most that you'll find when you get lost.

5yo has somehow picked up 6-7.
He also has to do early stage maths with rudimentary plus/minus 1 exercises.

Naturally, every time he gets to 5, I get to say 6-7.
This is the way.

Claude Code doesn’t take Christmas off

I do something similar with claude - first I discuss the problem and solutionize with normal claude - sometimes in audio mode. I use the same project for context, then when happy with the state of planning I tell it to spit out a prompt for claude code to implement, which results in a PR

@bsky.app discover seems borked - not enough resources error!

#hugops for the team - this is definitely a problem you wish you had on Christmas 😓

Cooking shit in lard and covering it with scratchings is a vibe.

5yo has saw an old pic of a pig on a spit and went all PETA. Claims he’s a vegetarian now.

Looks like my little @potniq.com paper plane is taking off - launched it on the BizTok and am getting some good engagement (linkedin. I launched it on linkedin)

I don’t have a problem with truncated emails - save bandwidth- render better for 80% use cases - what I really despise are newsletters that _deliberately_ target greater length in order to have their unsubscribe buttons truncated.

@jkass99.bsky.social I am with you on the superiority of drip and non turkish jezve coffee. 👊

Do @trashfuture.bsky.social discord posts count as comments, given that you're basically a cohost now with your weekly appearances?

My static site generator is Claude Code.

I give it ramblings in Markdown and it writes TSX for me AND fixes the grammer
