I’ve been having a great time with my new @frameworkcomputer laptop. The flexibility is really unique. First I got to build the laptop myself with parts, and now I get it to be what I want it to be with regards to input and ports and such. I’ll probably swap out the screen bezel for a bolder color, though. The purple is not very purple. Worth the 6 month wait!

I've had to stay off the internet for the past day because I didn't have a chance to watch Eurovision live, and instead had to watch it today. I've now watched it, so I can again come back online.

I'm working in the South Bay from a coffee shop today. I don't often work from a coffee shop these days. I also don't often get an iced latte because SF doesn't actually get very warm. But the combination of working from a coffee shop and an iced latte brings me back to all the hours I spent working from coffee shops in Omaha for some reason.

I just learned there was a speedrun competition of open source software installation the other day. I would have loved to watch that. Sounds super fun. I hope to catch it next time something like that happens. https://coopcloud.tech/blog/selfhosted-infrastructure-any/

Some last call musings on NA brews for Dry January. So surprised at the tons of options out there! Really hop’d up about it. But it’s late, so here you go before I tap out for the night.

@ai6yr Hey, could you take a look at the @nwsomaha_bot account? Seems to have gone dark for a few days.

I haven’t yet figured out my New Year’s resolutions. Primarily because I have a pre-order in for the Framework 16, so my personal daily driver machine screen size will change in a few months, and I don’t know what I’ll eventually decide on. But this change in my life will impact me a lot, and I’m sure you’ll be going on this journey with me. 2024 will be a big year, three inches bigger.

@ai6yr hi! Would you mind checking on the NWS bots? I haven’t seen a post from @nwsomaha_bot for a few days now

One facet of the recent uptick in Web Components I’ve been tracking is where the interest is coming from.

I’ve been a fan of WCs for a while, and struggled to see why they had such a struggle gaining traction in the “web app” world. I gave a talk back in 2018 about it! https://steele.blue/web-components-arent-weird-anymore/

My theory was the initial tooling (Polymer, reliance on Bower, etc) was too “weird” for React/etc devs, but newer tools like Stencil and Lit would help bridge that gap. That never seemed to happen!

Watching this play out again and again. Caveat emptor if you ignore HOW something is funded. Relying on—let alone building a business on top of—VC-funded hypergrowth-or-bust dependencies is decidedly risky!

@ai6yr hi! Do you know if your NWS bots (like @nwsomaha_bot ) are offline? I’ve noticed they haven’t had a new post recently.
