This photo series of China’s solar build out looks like background scenes from a near future series on Apple TV you’ve heard is good but aren’t going to watch

🔥Now 9to5Mac quotes OWA:

"Apple claimed it didn’t know why no browser vendor has ported their engine to iOS over the past 15 months. But the reality is Apple knows exactly what the barriers are, and has chosen not to remove them."

Media outlets can't pivot to AI to save themselves. It's not a business strategy and it's not going to work. The only path forward is for journalists to lean into their humanity, to do things AI can't, and to make clear they are writing for people, not algorithms:

That whole experience was nuts. It was 95 degrees outside. They were checking bags at the front for unsanctioned water bottles. They sold five dollar bottles of water. lol

Though, overall, good weekend with family. Im writing about it. May post later today if I feel good about this next draft. #blogger #blogging #writeup

Was at a pool this weekend that intentionally restricted shade so that it could rent to us umbrellas.

@NfNitLoop
I really like pimutils with vdirsyncer and ikhal. I can manage my contacts and my calendar and store data on a caldav/carddav server.

aerc, my tui email client, can access my synced contacts, too.

Do not be confused, because Apple sure isn't.

Cupertino knows the web is both *massively* profitable for them today (~$19-20BN/yr free and clear, or a 90-95% profit margin by my estimates) and also a threat to the App Store, which is why they're doing everything possible to stall, delay, and deflect attention from their responsibilities to fairness under the law.

@adele any particular favorite CLI/TUI tools recently?

I recently discovered helix editor and have been enjoying that. (And already miss a lot of its keyboard navigation when I’m back in other editors.)

And I started using jj-vcs as a better git client.

When I write scripts for myself these days, I use Deno because you can easily include dependencies in a single file. I recommend https://jsr.io/@david/dax for easy shell scripting and prompting.

@adele my last Android phone, and last phone with a physical keyboard, was the G1 developer phone. I’d flip out the keyboard and ssh into my IRC client on the way to/from work. But latency was awful for anything interactive like text editing.

Very few technologies whose graves I'd go out of my way to piss on, but Android Instant Apps and AMP deserve a similar place in hell, as much (or more) for the way their teams operated as the tech they shipped:

It is weird to see the continuing fallacy in the software world that 'source code' is the most valuable asset, by far.

The most valuable asset is the knowledge, design decisions, rationale and intent encoded therein. Just because we don't have good languages to encode that does not change the value proposition.

That misplaced value equation is also at the root of the LLM-for-SE hype.
