my mechanism to cope with github notification overload from having too many projects is to ignore it and start 3 more side projects. sorry everyone!

macOS 15.7 has an annoying bug where if I copy and paste my own phone number from the Contacts app, it will not be recognized as a valid phone number in any other app. I suspect some unicode digit representation bullshit. If I paste into wezterm and then copy from there, it works! I have tried pasting that back into the Contacts app with no joy.

Just idly musing: whenever a mail carrier, delivery person, pest control person or other person in a similar recurring/regular service role has said to me something along the lines of "this is my route / I'm your assigned person" and mentioned something about how regularly we'll be seeing each other, it's been only a month or two in my experience before they are replaced, and I never actually see them again.

@thomasfuchs same vibe from whatever the app is called that goes with my Brother label printer. It takes me 10 minutes to find the damn thing whenever I want to print a label because the name is stupid and doesn't include their brand name.

@dysfun @jpm FFT has a nice ring to it. For a courier transform there should probably be a CCT. Crap Courier Transform?

On this day 8 years ago I had an early version of wezterm in a decent enough shape that I was considering using it as a daily driver for real work. I don't recall how well that stuck in that first week! I can tell from the washed out color in the screenshot that it was before I had learned to whisper the words of power that enabled SRGB. I can't believe it's been 8 years already.

RE: https://chaos.social/@feliks/116119672196676481 @vitaut would this setup make you a 20x engineer?

Currently in what is hopefully now the tail end of my first proper seasonal cold since returning to the UK. It's an unwelcome return to what is simultaneously too much gushing, too little gushing and too much sinus pressure over the past few days. Blackcurrant Lemsip is a welcome, albeit partial, respite.
