Buffy season 6 felt much less relatable when I watched it last time in my early 20s or so.

As per our historic narrative, we first built these impressive structures to then carry tram buggies with horses in front of them. Of course it was just the minimum viable product for public transport. What else could it be. View quoted note →

The Nazis also tore down many old world buildings. We didn’t lose everything to allied bombing raids on civilians. Look at this atrocity in comparision. (Goes without saying that all surrounding buildings no longer exist today.) Look at the inside of this station. Is there any country left where something like this is still being built today?

Do you follow tech sites that aren't 90% advertorials and clickbait?

Just shipped a new release of my Linkahest app:

GitHub

Release Update UI · circumspace/linkahest

feat: Cleanup main UI, adopt Material Expressive elements

Apart from some UI changes and cleanup of the main app, I also updated the docs, dependencies and default Invidious/Redlib/Nitter instances based on recent uptime, but these changes were shipped with a previous release from today already:

Now that I've settled some of my living affairs, I finally have some time and a clearer head to dig into my projects again. For my customized Daylight Computer/e-ink optimized launcher Burrowed Launcher, this means that I have decided to abandon the project. The reason is the way Android handles 3rd party launchers with gesture navigation: There's a 0.5-1s delay whenever you switch from an app to the launcher again. It just got too frustrating when trying to do some basic multitasking. That's why I am back on the default launcher on my DC-1. I don't think anyone but me used it (though there was a Monero donation a while back, thanks for that!) but in case I'm wrong, please know that it's no longer under active development.
