Startup I know is offline because they can't purchase OpenAI credits 💀

Japan is protesting before shit goes down

I need to be able to video call ChatGPT sharing my phone's screen so it can help me order food @OpenAI

Me thinking on the name of my app for 2 weeks 🤡

Got Linux GPU acceleration working on an Apple M4 Pro Shoutout to @AuroraSilicon and @tiredkebab for some of their work.

Card didn't go through at the supermarket just now :(

Sometimes the smallest updates bring the most joy. I made a few small tweaks to Elsewhen, the world clock @jasonfried created for @omarchy after using it for a bit. A big challenge for me is always remembering who is in a region. So I made it easy to add people. That small visual reference alone is a game changer. While I share a timezone with New York, I don't find myself caring about the weather in NY, so you can select from a much wider array of locations to bring better relevance. And when you update your location in Elsewhen, it automatically syncs that with your system clock providing a much nicer experience for that. One of MANY fantastic features shipping soon in Omarchy Quattro RS 4.5.0.

I just opened Chrome's Developer Tools and realized how long it's been since I've used it. I used to go there multiple times a day, every day. Tweak CSS, measure pixels, find hidden classes

🇫🇷 The owner of a video game store who defended his store from looters posted a video thanking people for their support. He also warned of scammers trying to profit from those who want to help him.

They managed to bring their cost of living down by stealing anime!

You would think that with so much hate they would at least know the car has cameras? Like hello

Cool

Your name is Jean-Marc, you’re 46, and you run a video game and collectibles shop in Nice, wedged between an optician and a real estate agency selling 1-bed flats for €410,000 “with sea view” if you lean far enough off the balcony. You know every GTA San Andreas cheat by heart. You tested all of them in 2005 on the PS2 in your bedroom at your mum’s place. You opened in 2011 with a state-backed loan at 4.7%, and the naive belief that passion eventually pays. It did pay, sort of. €1,900 a month in a good year, after the French tax office has eaten first, second and third. Your commercial rent is indexed on a formula nobody in the Republic actually understands. You sell Funko Pops at €17.99, sealed Pokémon cards, refurbished controllers. You let little Enzo, 12, pay in installments because he’s saving for a Switch 2. You close at 7:30pm and walk home because the harbor parking is €3.40 an hour. Saturday, there’s a protest “against the cost of living.” You also think living costs too much. You almost went. At 5:12pm, your metal shutter gets ripped open with a crowbar. Forty teenagers in tracksuits and crossbody bags walk into your shop like it’s a bonus level. They take the PS5s, the Dragon Ball figures, the till with today’s €280 and even the box of paper bags that say “thank you for your visit.” A guy in a floral shirt films it vertically for TikTok. You step outside and say “stop, this is my shop.” You get hit from behind. Then rocks. They laugh. Floral shirt guy is thrilled: good angle, good lighting. Sunday morning, the police tell you there are “1,400 arrests nationwide” and they won’t send a squad for some Funko Pops. Filing the complaint takes 2 hours 40. The officer types with two fingers on Windows 7. Monday noon, your insurer reminds you that your €1,140-a-year policy has a €3,000 deductible and a “riots and civil commotion” exclusion on page 31, font size 6. Saturday night, an MP explains on TV that “the anger is legitimate” and we “shouldn’t cry over shop windows.” He’s never owned a shop window. He has a state-funded apartment. Sunday, your limited edition Vegeta figures show up on Vinted. “Brand new, never opened, €39, pickup in North Nice.” The seller has 4.9 stars. Monday, the tax office emails you. They haven’t heard about the riots. They’ve heard about your payment deadline. You did everything right, Jean-Marc. That was never the problem. The problem is you were playing by the rules in a lobby where nobody else does. So stop believing in the State. It’s not coming to save you. It’s coming to collect. Stop voting. Every five years they hand you the controller, and it’s never plugged in. Go to the gym. Not for revenge. For you. Because when the system folds, the only asset nobody can loot is the one you built under a barbell. And make money they can’t see. Cash, side hustles, sats on a cold wallet in a sock drawer. Not your keys, not your coins. Not your shop, not your loss. Fuck the system, Jean-Marc. It already did it to you first.

I love AI. I can open a PR with a reasonably-sized feature, 1k+ changes, 10+ files and it took me 3.5 minutes. This would've taken ~4 hours just two years ago. Now I just ask another AI to review and merge.

J’ai entendu dire que la France était finie, qu’il était trop tard pour la sauver. Mais la France est toujours aussi belle, enviable même. Sa grandeur n’a pas disparu, elle ne demande qu’à renaître. Nous avons surmonté en un an un problème cent fois plus grave, sans avoir les moyens dont dispose la France. La France pourrait y arriver en une semaine.
