I recently got my first road bike and I’m loving every single moment of it 😄 Got the bike as a way of crosstraining for my running on my way to my first marathon, but didn’t expect to have *this* much fun!

One year of freelancing! And what a wild and rewarding year it's been. Met amazing people, worked with talented teams, contributed to inspiring products, and even explored new spaces like healthcare, which was incredibly meaningful. Something new is on the horizon though... 👀

The hackintosh subreddit is filled with goodbye posts and pictures of new M4 Mac minis. 5-years-ago, I was building PCs to run macOS because Mac hardware was abysmal. Now, people want Apple's hardware to run Windows and Linux because it's so good. How the turntables...

Happy new year! 🍾🥂🎆 This year was a great year for running for me, with plenty of PRs. Ran 1300 km, 300 km more than last year, 200 km short of my goal for this year. Hope 2025 will be an amazing sports, but above all, health year for you all! ✌️

This thing is such an advertisement for Apple Silicon though, not an apples to apples comparison but my M1 Mac mini idles at 5W, this Mac Pro idles at 150W 💀

Shout out to the absolutely amazing Cameron Kerr for finding one in his basement! I had no idea these things were *this* pretty (and also have the density of a dying star)

Consistency gets a bad reputation and I think that's because people conflate it uniformity. Uniformity–remaining the same in all cases and at all time-is what happens when consistency jumps the shark. Uniform stays the same, always, no matter what.

Threads will let you set the following feed as default. It’s amazing what Meta is capable of when there’s a little bit of competition

In short, the right people are working on this, they're not out to build a Twitter clone, they're out to reshape the web, and help us return to the original promise of an open platform, a sense of ownership, and the ability to share with each other on our own terms.

Can't believe they haven't solved this yet. Huge UX flaw. Meanwhile I need to download third party tools that need to record my screen in order to fix this.

We've had Macs with a notch for over 3 years and macOS will still just _hide_ your menu bar icons if it runs out of space. There's no visible truncation, no way to scroll, no way to even know that some icons are hidden — it's one of my most reported Hand Mirror “bugs” 🤯
