The sky here is bright blue! Incredible! The whole sky, lit up.

(It's daytime. It's a joke, though probably not a very good one.)

The year is the far distant 2025. There are still people defending Mozilla.

Build a Mac app from a Package.swift & it won't even run. Have to add a plist with a bundle name to make it appear...

But then the window's still invisible to VoiceOver, ha, & text input... the system can't see it, just me.

Is it worth the days it's going to take me to work out what else is missing, or do I just set up an Xcode project? That works...

Can't find a single reference to this online. Search sucks now, but maybe nobody's using package manager in Macland?

Wow, Apple Store trying to upsell now. Have you thought about a plan? Have you thought about a case?

Tawdry.

Godot Rust or Swift Godot?

Swift'd be fun, but I'd be throwing away Windows & probs Linux builds, & while it can be pretty the 3rd party libraries aren't great. Plus selling my soul to Apple.

I could do with the Rust practice, but there's always the chance I'd lose my mind. One more bad dice roll & it's off to the attic to draw paintings of impossible angles & that one abandoned church steeple in the distance where the howling buzz comes from...

Tricksy.

Tea by the same guy who made brew, though he's not its current maintainer.

Brew long expletive laden rant edited out ...badly needs replacing.

Maybe Apple could chuck some of those spare car engineers at the problem?

The CEO of WordPress uses his tentacles to extract adrenochrome from you while you sleep & shoots random users in the face while kicking puppies according to internal documents, I hear.

Here's why it's still a good idea to use WordPress for your site...

One guy going back to work on activitypub stuff at Tumblr next year (some time) (maybe), & only 4,000+ installs & 900+ installs for the federated plugins for all of WordPress.

Cue people saying "but having no users is good actually".

If your terrifying predictions about the next Trump presidency are behind a pay wall, it's not a warning. It's a grift.

RTX (an ASDF replacement) is looking pretty fine so far.

For me it's replacing NVM for Node, rbenv for Ruby, and punching myself in the face for Python.

I was a kid listening to Peter Sellers in the Goon Show on the radio, Saturday lunchtimes. When I saw him in films he was an old guy... an adult, but you know, old.

He died when he was 54. I'm 55 now.

Murder civilians & prisoners in Afghanistan? Awards. Medals. Portraits.

Whistleblower? Jail time.

The pilot episode of the series the Lone Gunmen, an X Files spinoff series, played in Australia in August 2001.

Featured a false flag operation by the US government attempting to crash a hijacked plane into the twin towers, to blame it on terrorists. Two weeks before 9/11.
