All Blips
Someone mentioned Weird Al Yankovic today, and someone asked: 'Who's that?' and I immediately felt old.
I don't get it. Todo Lists gotta be one of the top use cases to use AI for - to expand on existing Todos, to try and extract importance and to resurface tasks which might fall through the cracks otherwise.
But all the AI powered to do lists seem to be capable of is: finding an empty slot in my calendar and book it so that I can work on todos there.
The Motion Todo App is damning itself with faint praise. Most of the features they advertise pretty high up on their page are pretty much standard features for todo lists, IDK?
Endel is like those Nutri-Matics in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It checks your heart rate, the time, the weather, the light surround you just to produce the same thing as always: something that is almost, but not quite, music.
Also, I am back to using Craft over Obsidian and Bear. It's an awesome experience.
It's been a while since I last checked out Spark. Wow, looks really sleek!
... and here is Chapter 7: Syntax Highlighting. This concludes the final chapter of #hecto. However, I still need to do some more proofreading and 'janitor work' until it can be considered final.

Here is Chapter 6 of #hecto: Build your own text editor in #rustlang . It adds a basic incremental search to your text editor.

Just wrote the final lines of hecto. Now I need to:
- Wrap up the chapter
- Publish the remaining chapters
- Clean up the repo
- Polish it all
🏃 Slowly getting back to old form.

Google just highjacked my click and showed me a panel with options instead of opening the article I clicked on. Wat.
Wanna finalize your text editor in #rust ? The last chapter to finalize #hecto is now live: flenker.blog/hecto-chapter-5/
Up next: Search, then Syntax Highlighting.

The election results are still bumming me out, geez.
So nah und doch so weit daneben... Diese Äußerung ist, als würde man sagen: 'Wahlen werden nicht durch Zeitungsartikel entschieden'. TikTok ist ein wichtiges Medium und wurde überwiegend von rechts bespielt und von links ignoriert - natürlich hat das einen Einfluss.

Where are the progressive future visions? Why is it easier to find right-winged answers to questions than progressive, forward looking ones? What can we do to change, to get people to vote, and not vote the people on the right?
I wonder if a purely rss based social media platform would work. You follow rss feeds. Your interactions are an rss feed. Others who follow you follow your rss feed.
The tech is there.
🗳️ Voted.
What infuriates me most about LLMs is their inability to say 'I don't know'.
Tried out copilot today, hoo boy is it bad. Most of the code is absolutely unusable, it's more work getting it to work than to code it myself.
Spotify has gotten ridiculously bad. I'm now trying Apple Music again, I hoped they fixed the performance issues they used to suffer from.
