trader joes changed the green tea mint recipe to be worse :( they seem to have switched to a different supplier, who is now making them with stevia and dextrose instead of just sugar ,,,,, and also using honey powder instead of honey granules , and "natural flavors" instead of actual peppermint […]

eating my last remaining original recipe green tea mint rn , it was a good run thank you green tea mints

trying to figure out how to recreate the original mints and , i have gotten to the point in the rabbithole where i think to myself "ok i need to buy some food-grade delrin and stearic acid and calcium stearate and design a press and manufacture it with my cnc mill" oh no

oops i did that thing again where i take my adhd meds and sit down to do work but instead read a bunch of hci blog posts and think about the architecture of text editors

the more time i spend hacking on the delta-shell codebase the more i realize what a mess it is. there's so much functionality that really should be abstracted into a component library but instead , css is just copied and pasted all over the place so there are a ton of classes that do almost the […]

coast starlight time!!

why does gtk

i want to make a thing i can click on that can hold other things that can also be clicked on. and it seems like my options are either hacking a box to add all the button behaviors (including keyboard navigation and accessibility!) or hacking a listbox to remove all the list stuff

hmmm , i wonder if i could use js_of_ocaml with gjs to write gtk apps in ocaml without relying on outdated bindings

wait , js_of_ocaml is slop now????? wtf this can't be happening ,,, fuck https://github.com/ocsigen/js_of_ocaml/commits/master/

there is so much incredible chinese and indian food in bellevue, every time i visit i'm reminded of how badly i miss that (and also how i don't really miss many other aspects of bellevue)

it's so silly that phones save every alarm you've ever set in a huge list. why aren't these ephemeral by default, and only saved when i choose for them to be?? i do not need to be able to easily enable an alarm for 3:40 am that i set a few years ago and haven't used since

anyway i have set my alarm now (by scrolling through a list of 40 alarms and tapping the toggle on the one i want) so i will go to sleep now , gn !!

i just discovered that the clock app has a screen saver mode hidden in a menu that's just a shittier version of the always on display my phone already has???? why

woag , new amtrak cascades cars are so nice ,,,, it feels futuristic usb c ports don't seem to do fast charging though :(

https://docs.dream.fr/items.php?item=24 this is such a ridiculously powerful chip, i need one so badly. 16-bit 197 MHz CPU, ~250KB RAM, 16x 24-bit DSP cores (each of which can be a 24 voice synthesizer), two parallel flash memory ports, Ethernet, 2xUSB, 16x16 digital audio interface , all in a […]

SAM2695 general midi hardware synthesizer is very fun, and works surprisingly well with my korg sq-64

aaaaaa,,, my favorite video compressor site (that was made by another trans girl with the same name as me!!) is now full of ai slop ,this is fucking devastating

genuinely so sad about this. it was such a good tool i sent a message about this via the little feedback box on the site and , as if i needed it rubbed in my face any more, the message shown after it went through was "Thanks—that landed." i am going to explode

my korg sq-64 sequencer has a firmware bug where sending midi nrpn messages is entirely broken ,,,, and apparently they have known about it for 3.5 years!! and haven't fixed it. aaaaaa

octopart's search is so wonderful except it does not let me specify a quantity to view component price at!! which makes me very sad because it's really good otherwise but without that simple feature it is not useful to me :(

oh and also it doesn't let me save filters to be automatically applied to every search i make some day i will succumb to the temptation to make my own component search tool,,,

tried to save a .org file in emacs , and the whole window froze up for a bit then gave an error with backtrace and a message telling me to report this to the org mode mailing list ,,,,

i am so sorry org mode developers but i do not have emacs configured as my mail client and i also have no clue how to reproduce this bug

this gotosocial instance is now patched against the whole emudhra thing!

it is also patched against the PHP CVEs that were announced today

just did this survey, i don't know much about it but apparently they are struggling to get women to answer it so they gave me a special link and asked me to send it to more women https://survey.devographics.com/survey/state-of-html/2026?source=referral_5n0w

i have finally found a good CLI tool for emulating keypresses (and mouse input) on any wayland or x11 system!! it is `dotool`: https://sr.ht/~geb/dotool/ it works very reliably (doesn't have the weird issues that wtype has) and i'm not noticing any latency! the only downside i've found is that […]

why is the go-away challenge on sourcehut so difficult :( it's been well over a minute and my pixel 9 pro still hasn't finished solving it!! and my phone is noticably warm

oh weird, the same difficulty challenge in chrome was completed in 3 seconds. it seems like firefox's javascript engine is very bad at competing these challenges compared to chrome's? and i know it's not some js error that would have prevented my phone from solving it at all. on my laptop with a […]

set up my launchpad pro midi controller thing as a macropad for kicad so i can keep one hand on my trackball and one hand on the launchpad most of the time while working on boards!! at some point i will share the python script because for some reason there just isn't any existing tool like this […]

it would be really funny to do something with the velocity data i get on each keypress. track width corresponds to how hard you press the route button,

also at some point i want to make it integrate with niri so it can change the layout depending on the focused app

does anyone have recommendations for wayland screen lockers that have a normal looking ui (i.e. not swaylock), allow you to unlock with fingerprint without pressing enter first, and ideally use gtk? i tried gtklock and it does everything but the fingerprint thing

i think i am learning nix the same way i learned rust , that is , hacking on enough random projects that use it that i gradually pick up bits of it and eventually will have to give in and read actual documentation

today i learned about `makeWrapper`! the fact that it is just a shell script and not part of the nix language scares me greatly. why am i writing short shell scripts in my nix flake (in `postFixup`),, this does not feel right
