The city's library has a wishlist form, nothing fancy, that is explicitly marked as not working with Internet Explorer anymore.

1) Who uses IE still?
2) How many of these people try to use the form that prompted the library to put up that warning?
3) Why […]

Using my app Infinite Canvas with a tablet for meeting notes for the first time.

I'm pleased to report that writing with this large a space went really smoothly.

I now want to implement the bookmarked viewports feature, though, so that I can restore certain […]

Host your own cloud, they said.

Well, my Nextcloud hosts ll the images from the camera roll on my Android phone. But I just deleted 100s of dupes.

I must be wired differently than most web frontend developer people.

Again, I look up a tool online -- vite.js this time. Again, I go to the docs. Again, I don't understand what it's for.

A server (of what) for good dev exp.

A build tool. Like make? But […]

@vikunja I created an #emacs Lisp package to display Vikunja projects and tasks in split panes for a TUI like experience, and automation, and to process stuff from the API without having to login over and over all the time.

I just noticed my hypocrisy.

Complaining about macOS Tahoe's style here, but zettelkasten.de has all the large round corners you can imagine

Ah, you have to restart Xcode a couple of times to make it work

Found the limits of Magit -- 15000 file changes make it painfully slow. Now just laggy. It hands for minutes.

Wait a second, Xcode 16.4 also has clang 17 -- but a different, uh, whatever version that is

#xcode 26 just needed me to enter a new GitHub access token. The authentication succeeds, but the "OK" button would not close the 'enter credentials' dialog -- it opened the token setup again.

So I restart Xcode, of course, and now it works.

Except it now […]

Ages ago, I signed up for 'egun.de', an ebay clone focused on legal things you couldn't get on ebay, to browse decorative swords. Because I was a metal kid, of course.

They send me birthday wishes every year with the most Windows 98 Outlook email template […]
