👁️ You don’t want to rebuild your site too often when it is on the ‘larger’ side. Yet to unpack the specifics behind ‘larger’.

"Hi Ren" by Ren Gill
Stunning. A friend shared this with me last year. If you want to listen to a totally original and highly talented artist - start here.
People will be more important in the future, not less.
💬 Mark Zuckerberg
Whilst I fervently believe that - I don’t ~believe him~ think he knows what that really means.

"Permanating" by Steven Wilson
In the Venn Diagram of music that jax and I both like - this one sits high ... so clearly needs to be pulled out first.
To add someone as a friend on the new Friendster iOS app, the two of you have to physically tap your phones together.
💬 Patrick Rhone
Nice idea - downloaded - now we just need to work out where to meet - we are only 8,000 miles / 13,000 kilometres apart.
🔗 Colorless, Shapeless Orb - Gapingvoid
We call it The Void. It’s where most work lives now. Transactional. Comfortable. Manageable. Forgettable. If you’ve ever wondered why our name is so weird, that’s it. We made it our business to kill it.
👁️ Yes. Seperately - love their new home page.
👁️ RSS really seems to be coming back into vogue.
🔗 More from Luis I really like, this time on #RSS: …
when you build on open standards like RSS and OPML, you’re building on freedom. Freedom to use the tools that work best for you. Freedom to own your experience. And freedom to support a healthier, more independent web.
Productivity is a recent invention; wintering is not.
💬 Joan Westenberg
Superb piece. Readwised - so I can keep coming back.
I don’t use Ubuntu. I have zero interest in resetting ICON themes. I toggle dark mode manually every blue moon or so.
None of that stopped me from reading;
🔗 Stop Ubuntu Resetting Your Icon Theme When Toggling Dark Mode
I didn’t understand a word of it.
This all around 4am.
Life Needed.
🔗 A quote from Matthew Yglesias
Five months in, I think I’ve decided that I don’t want to vibecode – I want professionally managed software companies to use AI coding assistance to make more/better/cheaper software products that they sell to me for money.
💬 Matthew Yglesias
Police - take out the ‘Pol’ - and you are left with ‘ICE’.
Origins of ‘Pol’ … public order, civil administration
Sounds about right to me - and a useful counter argument to this kind of idiocy.
🔗 Gratitude, honor, and anger — Terry Godier
.. still thinking how this delightful little ‘billy do’ might fit on to my daily routine.
💬 A selection from my morning’s ‘Readwise’. I see a theme - despite the source variations. Is that just me?
