That’s effectively what Mojo is. Hardly catching the world on fire but pretty good for what it does.

Gotta give a thumbs down to the reporting here. At no point did it explain _why_ it’s disappearing. I was curious, and after reading it I still am. Did it catastrophically flop so the cinemas are ditching screenings? Is the mention of some small cinemas “not getting the memo” just a turn of phrase or is there some distributor/studios/licensing thing killing it?

Look how wiiide it’s become, full of so much gunk now. I could use spotlight for all these, which is telling why Apple is using it for promotion instead of being useful for the users. So much of this is redundant and promotional; I don’t want Apple TV, Apple Arcade, Apple maps, iPhone mirroring, all 3x of the phone and messages and FaceTime, or the Siri app on my dock.

I’ve come to thoroughly dislike the grind getting rid of them all with the dog slow animation each new Mac I set up.

Looks pretty interesting. I presume the boom in cloudflare workers and other hosting platforms has been a forcing function to make running a web app more “normal” looking with their lambda offering.

Infuse is terrific software, and supports jellyfin and smb. I use it for jellyfin and absolutely love my setup.

I ditched plex because of missing Dolby audio support and all the use hostile channels and “features” years ago, and will never look back.

I'm no car guy, but that's a beautiful vehicle. How totally Japanese too; zany but rad.

Believe it when I see it. I feel like I’m in a time loop with these headlines.

I’ve stopped using Claude on the desktop, just because of how slow the app is to start up and interact with. It’s an absolute clunker; I’m mystified why they can’t ship something that works well given their rhetoric about ai.

It’s still dedicated ram on a separate chip, which is affected by supply shortages.

The ram is soldered onto the SoC in close proximity to the main arm chip. What’s different is that it is simultaneously addressable by cpu and gpu cores, not part of the same die as the apple silicon unit.

I’m not clear on the difference between atom and RSS. Atom seemed to be the better spec, but for my Astro blog I ended up sticking to the built in `rss` helper it ships with.

There’s a lot to be said about his approach with go for simplicity. Python needs virtual environments, package managers, dependencies on disk, a wsgi/asgi server to run forked copies of the server, and all of that uses 4x-20x the ram usage of go. Docker usually gets involved around here and before you know it you’re neck deep in helm charts and cursing CNI configs in an EKS cluster.

The go equivalent of just coping one file across to a server a restarting its process has a lot of appeal and clearly works well for him.

> It runs in a privileged environment separate from the kernel and blits the light directly onto the screen hardware.

That explains how it can still be safe from even kernel-level exploits. Neat approach, and it works for the microphone light too.
