2022

I’ve determined I’m not very good at coming up with prompts for Stable Diffusion to chew on…

Been trying to use Orion as my daily browser for the last week. It’s promise of using Webkit (and the clean UI look of Safari) with Firefox/Chrome extension compatibility was a big selling point. I’ve also been trying to use Kagi as my default search engine.

The latter has been going better than the former.

The browser compatibility is very rough and has a bunch of bugs (it’s still in beta, so that’s not that surprising). There are a few UI quirks that are making it difficult to fully adopt, but it’s really close. I like the idea of diversifying my tech stack and I’m hoping Orion improves over time.

That feeling you get when your own blog entry is on the first search page for a question you still don’t have an answer too…

Summer 2022 speculation inbound!

Notably absent here is Lucifer and Biscuit Hammer - literally everyone who was a fan of the manga has panned everything to do with this adaptation (very sad, but I’ll just have to pick up the manga at some point).

I’ve been putting off watching the Made in Abyss movie, saving my soul from the feels… Now I have a deadline.

I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned it, but I love Setapp – I get so much value out of my monthly subscription. Every so often, I revisit the list of apps to see if there is anything new that I can incorporate into my workflow.

Today’s discovery is OpenIn – a clever little app that allows me to configure a set of rules to customize what happens when I click a link. Here’s what I initially came up with:

  1. Open localhost in Chrome
  2. ⌥ mod click to pop up a list of browsers
  3. Default open in Firefox

Having a curated list of apps that solves small pain points is extremely handy. Highly recommended!

 
There are only so many seats open in my life,
and I don't want to let my heart be swayed by
anyone who's not sitting in one of them.

Is that mean?

Of course, there are also people like you 
who bring their own seat and sit down.

Installed Nightfall – a simple menubar app to toggle between light and dark modes. Why something like this isn’t available by default boggles my mind. I can now go through all my apps to make sure they follow the system setting.

Except for iTerm of course which gets permanent dark mode status.

A post from Josh Comeau’s blog, “The Surprising Truth About Pixels and Accessibility” –

The truth is, if you want to build the most-accessible product possible, you need to use both pixels and ems/rems. It’s not an either/or situation. There are circumstances where rems are more accessible, and other circumstances where pixels are more accessible.

This is one of the best breakdowns of px/em/rem you will ever find. Highly recommended reading.
