I hear Thiel has buggered off to Argentina - so Karp has free rein to carp.

Just waiting for the cache to catch up.
Seems to be worse on Micro.Blog than anywhere else - and yes I have a bigger than average site and yes this version of Hugo moves like molasses - but when I move to upgrade to a better version - my site breaks - #BecausePlugIns - how to work out which? Uninstall them all and reintroduce one by one.
My plugin list:
… so no.
Then again - there is also this …

With the late-May release of 1Password for Safari, we will be increasing the minimum Safari version required to support 1Password for Safari to Safari 18.6.
💬 1Password Announcement
… which got me to wondering. Turns out I am on 26.4 - which despite the numbering is not that much newer. 18.6 was replaced by 18.7 in September 2025 - not even a year ago.
Thats a pretty aggressive upgrade stance. The predecessor to 18.6 - 18.5 was only May last year.
Then again if you are someone who uses a password manager, I guess your propensity to keep your software up to date is going to be high.
🎵📼 🔗 Tom Petty does ‘The Mac’ - and his ‘Welllllll’ must be the best ‘Wellllll’ I have heard in any other cover. It might also be better than the original.
The Irish tale of Oisín describes the warrior’s journey to Tir na nÓg, the land of youth. He spends three years there but when he returns to Éire to see his old fighting comrades from the Fianna, 300 years have passed.
And for a related 🎵 interlude …
Tír na nÓg are an Irish folk duo formed in Dublin, Ireland, in 1969 by Leo O’Kelly and Sonny Condell.[^cite_ref-LarkinGE_1-0][1] They are often considered one of the first progressive folk bands with other artists like Nick Drake or groups like Pentangle.
💬 Wikipedia
Not to be confused with Horslips - who along with Tír na nÓg were in constant circulation on ‘young John’s’ turntable back in the day. Almost certainly arrived at them via Pentangle and Fairport - but most definitely stood on their own. Still listen to Horslips to this day - not so much Tír na nÓg.
🔗 Software Eats Its Own – On my Om
The people who build software are busy wiring up the machines that will build software in their place. Call it automation. Call it augmentation. Call it whatever makes you sleep. What it actually is, is software industrialization, happening right in front of our eyes.
🔗 Rosabeth Moss Kanter is decribed by Wikipedia as
“The Thinking Woman’s Michael Porter".
Maybe more accurately Michael Porter is
“The Thinking Man’s “Rosabeth Moss Kanter”.
I mean Rosabeth was born 4 years before Michael.
