Two orgs worth donating to in this season of giving are Wikimedia and Internet Archive.
They aren’t without their controversies, but both Wikipedia and the Wayback Machine are IMO priceless resources and they’re available for free. I’d like to see them continue to be things!
I feel therefore I am.
What’s a good Mac app for listening to music files on your computer? I dislike the Apple Music app for reasons. Currently trying https://swinsian.com/.
An album I discovered on @kampf’s Nerd Show ended up sweeping my Spotify Wrapped top songs.
Incidentally, I wonder is AOC is doing AoC. :)
Decided to try Advent of Code for the first time. Doing it in JavaScript. We'll see how long I can hang in there. If things get too math-y, I'm screwed.
Guess what! It’s time to add @zachleat’s snowfall script to your website!

I’m trying to decide what to do with my dice rolling app, d20. It’s based on Electron, which I don’t love. And currently the thing is built targeting Intel Macs. But I don’t want to ship a universal version because that would create an app size equivalent to two whole Electron apps, which is clearly ridiculous.
So I think my options are to ship a build targeting Apple Silicon only, or abandon the Mac app entirely and transition to a PWA.
This is the coolest blog post I’ve ever seen. https://mgx.me/kirby-vs-this-blog-post
I wrote about how I love Alpine.js for side projects and home-cooked apps.
(Reposting because my other one is a quote post and didn’t render my open graph preview. And yes, this parenthetical is longer than my text above. But you know what, I love a good parenthetical. Why do you think the “behind the scenes” genre exists? It’s because parentheticals are great stories in their own right.)

I’m interested in joining the Continue Watching Should Always Be At the Top of the Page Party.
I am deeply ashamed that my life choices have led to this moment at lunchtime today.
For any disabled peeps out there who require assistance when voting (as in actually casting your vote), I'd like to know your thoughts about not being able to vote privately. It really irks me. I've had a few bad and or weird voting experiences, and I didn’t vote this year because of it.
