Everyone, especially those who work in software or computers in general, should take 10 minutes out of their day to watch this Tom Scott video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxV14h0kFs0
Dammit Apple, I loved Dark Sky and used it in a web browser every day 😢 https://9to5google.com/2020/03/31/apple-kills-dark-sky-android/
Although a little gimmicky, this looks pretty cool: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/903801945/hunu?utm_source=kickbooster-direct&utm_medium=kickbooster&utm_content=link&utm_campaign=e1501a4a
Saying goodbye to my UE Mini Boom today. Despite not being waterproof, this thing has accompanied me in almost every shower in every place I've lived for over 5 years. Been dropped countless times from various heights and doused with water often, but kept ticking. Unfortunately it doesn't really charge, and doesn't hold the charge for long when it does, so I'm afraid it's time to replace it.
Spent the day hacking on Vocal. Fixed several annoyances, and in the process figured out one of the main causes of instability that was introduced with the http://gpodder.net integration. Feels sooo much better now. So dang close to getting 3.0 out in users' hands.
Update: went pretty well! Sometimes the library was a bit too quiet - I work best when there's a constant murmur in the background. Coffee shops are my go-to - unfortunately there aren't any around me that are open past 5pm.
There is a new project to make a #FLOSS DuoLingo alternative! https://librelingo.app
Would love to figure out how to have the social aspects federated!
