My new rule for myself is everything I bring into my house has to be art. I got this beautiful hand made cutting board the other day. Anything can be art, and it doesn’t all have to be pricy. I threw some pathos I propagated into a soup can the other day. Boom art!
This is mostly me trying to cope with all the AI slop that is slowly eating digital and physical art forms. For me, art is anything human made, and I want to surround myself with it.
I don’t collect watches, but I appreciate really well designed mechanical/analog devices. I think spending money on brand names is stupid, but I honestly would love an intricate self winding watch.
Not a watch, but check out the mechanics in this cassette player. I love anything like this.
Arguably the first branch is backwards. I don’t use windows because I fear technology and strongly distrust Microsoft.
Probably in 2025, we at Meta, as well as the other companies that are basically working on this, are going to have an AI that can effectively be a sort of midlevel engineer that you have at your company that can write code.

It would be cool if React Native for Windows and macOS got more attention. I haven’t tried it personally but I’m sure it doesn’t get the same amount of consideration as Android and iOS.
Thank you! Blorp download links below
This is what the new extra compact posts look like. I can probably tune this a little more, but let me know what you think. That’s currently in beta. Idk if you’re using Google Play, but if you are, you can join the beta for immediate access.
The filter system I described will take more time to implement. Probably a few months, but it’s going to unlock filtering that no other Lemmy/PieFed client currently supports
I don’t think I’m going to add this feature tbh, BUT
I’m currently collaborating with the Interstellar devs to design a very powerful filter engine for both our apps. This will let you load in one or multiple filter files for complex filtering within the app. The specification we designed would allow you to write a filter that says
IF post.thubnail.url has length > 0 THEN hide the post
You can combine that with other checks
AND post.community.name is in this list
And the best part, these filters will be shareable with other users! You will be able to browse or optionally publish a filter you designed.
Instead of building a dozen niche features like this, we can ship one very powerful filter engine that can handle many use cases. How does that sound?
Blorp dev here. Do you mean hide the image posts entirely, or just hide the image from the post? I’m in the process of rolling out an “Extra Compact” post view that renders the image posts without the images. But that won’t roll out to iOS and Android for a few days.
Wow, that’s really nice update! Activity and useEffectEvent look the most interesting to me.
That’s cool! Not the style I’m looking for, but still very cool! That makes me think what we really need is a list of small artists organized by style.
Ooo I love his work! Could you possibly share a link to his shop? TikTok refuses to let you interact with their website to force you to download the app.
I am struggling a bit with dialing in the exposure. It feels like one stop is too dark, and the next is too bright. I can’t decide if I prefer to under or over expose.
Under exposing seems to capture more detail, but I think over exposing might look better.
Here are some more photos:
If you have a kindle you can hack it and load PDFs onto it. The koreader is better anyway.
My grandma told me to buy NVDA and I was like “yeah right grandma”
Yeah. Though I don’t think coding will be tapped out for awhile. I’m a little biasses as that’s what I do for work. Tech Twitter is full of people claiming AI is going to replace engineers. I work on a very successful team of very talented engineers, and if I told them AI is going to replace them, they would laugh. But I would be lying if said I didn’t fantasize about switching to a job where I get to build something with my hands.
