I recently purchased a new #framework laptop, here's my thoughts so far: jamesebert.dev/blog/the-fra...

Hello Austin 👋

Just recently tried T3.chat, I'm blown away at first glance just how much faster it feels over chatgpt

“Starship experienced rapid unscheduled disassembly”

you've skipped your last blind jimbo 🤠

Happy New Year! 🥳 Wishing y'all a great 12 months (even with the ups and downs that'll come)

My new Framework 16 laptop is here--time to assemble and get Linux installed!

Initial call for interest: want to get involved in an #atproto in-person conference, late March in the Pacific Northwest? Read the info at atprotocol.dev/atmosphereco... and please fill out the form to give feedback #ATmosphereConf

Day 6 Sneaky #AdventofCode

I just completed "Bridge Repair" - Day 7 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/7 Surprisingly easy! I still hate revocation though... 😆

I just completed "Guard Gallivant" - Day 6 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode And oh boy did I struggle with this one! This ended up being a really good reminder to take breaks (as often the answer will come, it just needs a lil time) and to regularly reevaluate the target I'm building towards

I just completed "Print Queue" - Day 5 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/5 I honestly really struggled with this one. I'd be interested in seeing other people's solutions or any writeups on their approaches, so I can learn something from this particular puzzle

Did you know? You can turn on experimental “Reddit” like comment section in BSky!

I just completed "Ceres Search" - Day 4 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/4 Oh boy, I struggled with this one for some reason. Those diagonals man 😬

The deep goal of bluesky is to decentralize the social internet so that every individual controls their experience of it rather than having it be controlled by 5 random billionaires. Everyone thinks they signed up for a demuskified twitter...we actually signed an exciting and bizarre experiment.

can someone give me the regex for removing the voices in my head 🙏

no, but there are a bunch of other solutions that could just be prioritised - like 'new accounts can't DM me', 'users without verified emails can't post', etc. etc. even more innovative stuff like reverse social proofs (blocked by X of my friends...) - and that would require giving up a lot less

I just completed "Red-Nosed Reports" - Day 2 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/2 Lol I'm a bit behind because I decided to create a CLI tool specifically for AoC -- been fun to mess with, even if it's essentially entirely useless 😆

A friendly reminder to all y’all uploading your #AdventOfCode solutions. Make sure you don’t share your input/data files! It’s called out near the bottom of the about page adventofcode.com/2024/about

I. JUST. WANT. THE. RECIPE. I. DON'T. WANT. FOUR. PAGES. OF. STORY. ABOUT. HOW. THIS. WAS. YOUR. AUNT. LINDA'S. FAVORITE. DISH. ON. WINTER. ESCAPES. TO. THE. MOUNTAINS.

Playing through the new #factorio DLC (it's amazing btw) Pro tip: seed production on Gleba is affected by productivity (either via modules in the assembler or the 50% from the biochamber). Makes the whole thing much more viable.

“The online world has become so hostile to users that Bluesky’s pitch of ‘here is a straightforward feed of text-based user-generated posts that we promise not to mess with’ is revelatory.” — @bcmerchant.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/bloodint...

💡 Tip: You can set your website as your username on Bluesky! This is one form of self-verification, and we especially encourage official organizations and brands to do this! Examples include @npr.org @react.dev @duolingobrasil.com.br. Here's our guide for how to do this:

Honestly really enjoying BlueSky so far. Plus I think the use of domains as handles is freaking smart (as they're already a form of trust). Also seeing the use of DIDs in the #ATProtocol is awesome, as I've been working with DIDs for years and to see the massive adoption here is really cool.

I switched to Linux (Mint) a year ago and I don't miss Windows. In fact, I actively resent it when I'm forced to use Windows these days.

Now i don’t want to be controversial, but video games…they’re pretty cool

i would happily pay a few dollars a month to keep this place viable.
