    #sourcehut combined with emacs eww is such a lovely combo. In general websites can make for very lovely TUIs if you design your HTML for it.

    Its interesting to come back to Minecraft 15-ish years later with my nephew only to discover that: - mods are unavailable (?) in this new &amp;quot;bedrock&amp;quot; mode - I cant play LAN because were both on the same Microsoft account (desktop and tablet). Also now there&amp;#39;s a bunch of micro transactions obviously targeting kids. Its more like a mall than a game.

    It&amp;#39;d be fun to do a Open Street map cartographer day, where you gather some people and go out to chart out a city.

    Fossil&amp;#39;s UI looks pretty neat in chawan. Unfortunately a lot of the buttons don&amp;#39;t work, so you can&amp;#39;t edit todos, wiki forums etc. directly from the TUI browser.

    I wired together a tiny url shortener. So any URL that I copy, I can shorten and store locally and then reference as url:Ayx3. Afterward, foot allows me to create hyperlinks so I can use [regex:url] regex=(url:[a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9]) launch=shortener goto ${match}

    I actually quite like PWAs. It&amp;#39;s probably the nicest way to get an interface to my server up on android.

    Very happy with the ergonomics of my URL shortener. In Vim, Kak etc. I can select the URL and pipe it to | nc -N lab shorten. The URL is replaced with a shortened URL accessibly from my phone and laptop. Works very smoothly.

    I added Howm&amp;#39;s comefrom links to my wiki system and Kakoune. Comefrom links are implicit hyperlinks. You define the term and its reference; wherever that term comes up in a text file, even outside the wiki system, the term is underlined and can be selected from Kakoune.

    I broke out an old utility from filed and made it into a dead simple sandboxing utility for shell scripts. https://git.sr.ht/~marcc/landdown The examples are quite self-explanatory: ``` #!/usr/bin/env landdown ro /bin ro /lib rwf /tmp/some-file.txt #!/bin/sh echo Edit &amp;gt; /tmp/some-file.txt ``` Or ``` #!/usr/bin/env landdown ro /bin ro /lib ro /etc/ssl rof /etc/resolv.conf connect 443 #!/bin/sh curl https://www.google.com ```

    “The climate of incomprehension leads men in management to treat computer matters as “mere technicalities&amp;quot;-- a myth as sinister as the public notion that computers are &amp;quot;scientific&amp;quot;-and abandon the kind of scrutiny they sensibly apply to any other company activities.” — Ted Nelson, Computer Lib

    As I&amp;#39;m reading Ted Nelsons lamentations about IBM I can&amp;#39;t help but to think &amp;#39;oh boy, Apple really is the modern day IBM isn&amp;#39;t it?&amp;#39;

    I was trying to stream a show from the iPad to the TV and it got blocked, citing legal reasons. This never happened with HDMI chords.

    We&amp;#39;ve run into a cultural situation where we&amp;#39;ve confused the symbol for the physical reality–the money with the wealth and the menu with the dinner. We&amp;#39;re starving and eating menus. – Alan Watts, “The Process of Life” (lecture, IBM Systems Group Seminar, 1969)
