People should put a screenshot of their desktop app in the README of their GitHub repos

I have set up a Siri Shortcut on my iPhone using the Shortcuts app. It relies on political campaign and super-PAC texts containing the key phrase "Stop2End" or "End2End"

The shortcut runs on any incoming message

First it checks to see if "Stop2End" is in the body of the message

It checks to see if the sender is in my contacts

If the sender is not in my contacts then it replies with "STOP"

This opts me out of about 3-5 lists per day

The other change I made was to sign up for the Do Not Call registry on the FCC website

Possibly the fact that the TPU fin body doesn't stop all counterrotation so the leash would get twisted into a cord and interfere with flight?

Love this aesthetic. I have designs on making replacement PCBs for the iPod Shuffle 2nd Gen. This kind of open-source, simple-toolchain embedded dev w/ PCB design has become much much easier in the LLM era

I appreciate both the level of detail and the storytelling. This looks to have been a lot of work and care.

Did you mean "litigation" rather than "legislation" ?

Brandi Carlile and I'm With Her just covered this at their stadium concert in Madison, WI last night. Eerie.

You know, I think Fossil with its integrated issue management right in the repo is actually a perfect match for the LLM era. Maybe today is the day I migrate to using a Fossil forge with GitHub becoming increasing untenable.

Anyone else using Fossil?

Love this. I am most interested in your autorouter script at https://github.com/atomic14/kicad-esp32-dev-boards/blob/main...

I have wanted to do something similar for a while, but thought that routing would be the toughest part.

In fact, I am surprised that a robust go-to successor to https://www.freerouting.app/ has not appeared in the LLM world. Do you know of a good follow working in the OSS autorouting space?

This is the history of enclosure of the commons since the beginning of capitalism

Just downloaded CoMaps. Why does it start with a zoomed out view of the entire world, especially given that I gave it location services and it shows my current location (in North America). The very first UX experience this app gives is "I am primarily for people interested in maps and geography"

Contrast this with Apple Maps - when you open it, there are 4 big tap controls for actions like "Home" "Work", a search bar, and a map that covers a 1-mile radius around you .

I'd encourage your UX flow to go something more like: request location services > if granted, immediately start downloading their local tileset in the background > zoom to a 20-mile radius around the user
