TRMNL completely customizable e-ink display. Beautiful product. Battery last 3 months. Easy on the eyes. Weighs 6oz. I love this shit man (even though I have no idea what I would put on display). Bummed I missed out on the first wave but restock coming in march. ๐Ÿคž usetrmnl.com

It seems inevitable to me that we get ads, and I want them to survive. The paid tier however should remove the ads Itโ€™s also good to remember if they start pulling engagement levers you donโ€™t like pulled to optimize rev you have multiple courses of action (by design): feeds, clients, and PDS

> Bluesky may eventually experiment with ads in a way that doesnโ€™t compromise the core user experience. That could include running ads in Blueskyโ€™s search results (...) I prefer no ads, but non-intrusive ads in search would be ok. The crucial limit is ads in the middle of our conversations.

Cave's of Qud released yesterday after 15 years of development and I am completely enthralled by the visual work on display here. The info density, palette, and visual artifacts hitting on all cylinders in both the menu system and the environmental design of the gameplay. It's fucking good

pro tip, check your microwave shielding. Itโ€™s not unlikely it operates on the same 2.4gHz band as your WiFi and only needs to leak a small amount of radiation before messing with the network. Happened to us. My brother would nuke a burrito and Iโ€™d get kicked out of overwatch or get crazy ping

Just got my rental for the week. The Sony FX-30 is an astonishing build of a product. Feels great in the hand, build quality is top notch minus the plasticky dial in the rear. The style is on point and very utilitarian with the built in 1/4-20 threads I love this for $1500

Iโ€™m concerned this will hurt Googleโ€™s interest in continuing to heavily invest and push web standards. While chrome certainly has some ugly (hello manifest v3), all things considered it has been a Mostly Goodโ„ข trade for the web at large

God I love Remarkable. The product is so good and fun to use. But I returned it today because reading ebooks on it (a major boon for e-ink devices) is awful. If you didnโ€™t know, Remarkable canโ€™t read epubs. It converts everything to PDF, which is slow, some images donโ€™t load, and no reflow options.

Exactly right. Human synthesis will be vital and is driven by finding patterns of insight in emotionality, imperfection, and subjectivity. In other words, journaling and personal writing are way too underrated

At some point, AI systems will be able to do more comprehensive and deep research on a single topic (assuming itโ€™s well-documented in writing) than people. But having thoughtful insights, meaningful takes, and deploying all of this towards The Good is still the core skill set.

We will begin developing a subscription model for features like higher quality video or profile customizations like colors and avatar frames. Bluesky will always be free to use โ€” we believe that information and conversation should be easily accessible. (We wonโ€™t uprank paid accounts.)

What a difference an icon can make for user expectations. Bluesky's DM icon feels way faster, lighter as opposed to X's... email service??? I would wager on the long haul people use bskyโ€™s DMs more casually than on X

really excited about the possibilities of atproto for the client application layer we can have TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and Medium clients all coming from the same place (we need markdown!) seems obvious to not restart networks just for a different view like we have been doing
