I honestly love a lot of the changes to iPad OS, but I can't believe this in  Music still isn't actionable with mouse/trackpad and I still have to finger swipe/pull.

Frustrating.

I blame all my woes on this arsehole growing legs.

I never knew this feature existed in  Music - if you hold down the option key it changes the back button to "Genius Shuffle." It's supposed to line up songs that "go great together."

(They often don't go great together and there's little variety between each shuffle)

From a quick visit to r/steamdeck you’d think that Steam Deck wasn’t portable, and that laptops and tablets don’t exist.

The absolute gall of Israel to say this after the indiscriminate bombings of innocent Palestinians.

We’ve been growing some cabbages and hadn’t checked them in a while. Today we found some visitors.

These stories. What the fuck.

And this is no where near enough time.

First small update adds labels to the card view.

We’re starting to look good here, just need to sort out the spacing on the cards.

Inline could do with some adjustments but least of my concerns.

Oh wow. You’re working quick.

That’s pretty much what I had in mind. Just as an example here’s one of my canvases;

Screen shot of @obsidian.md with the plugin. Slightly different from the video as this is Reader mode. Visually still the same - albeit a few spacing oddities.

Some updates on Linear plugin for @obsidian.md

- Completely refactored, with large update to parsing/render
- Added visual elements to Editing mode
- Cached issues to prevent hammering the APIs - refreshes any issues after 30s
- Rendered issues update as they're refresh

Hastily made video below.

Finally, after all these years, I’ve got my hands on my gaming holy grail.

Lately I'm really getting into using @obsidian.md more, but still wanting to use Linear.app for managing my projects and related tasks. Problem is, I've not come across a way to get issues embedded.

So I've spent a couple evenings learning to make a plugin to do that.

This custom Amnesty International mug had been sat on my desk in its box at the office for a few year. I finally decided to bring it home.

My proof that I’m not a complete sellout. Hah.

Thought I was going to complete my mainline #FinalFantasy games across PlayStation. This was the last.

Disappointed is an understatement as I opened the packaging.

Is ‘closer to God’ code for nearly dead?

Would make sense given the hurt that many Americans are going to go through.

This one.

It was one of those really average games but was enjoyable. It left a lasting memory for me so the guys at DICE (yes, the very same) must have done something right.

Got my hands on a copy of Motorhead for the PlayStation 1.

I don’t remember this but it’s mad that a ps1 game has a 50fps “mode/setting” - albeit at the expense of opponents.
