The part that really sets Datastar apart for me is it holds client-side variables which are included in all requests. So I no longer have to think about piping & preserving view state when the DOM gets patched.

It's also neat how they use SSE for short-lived streams. Need a response to delete + add something? That's just two SSE events and then the stream closes. It's not a special case, it's a first-class mechanism.

Very happy with Datastar so far.

Part of the reason I use RSS instead of getting my links through social media is because when I like something enough to subscribe, I want to read all of it. Not to "dip in". A paradigm where I sample articles means RSS isn't as valuable for me anymore.

I do feel a little urgency to keep up since some me my feeds cover stuff happening in the world, and lose value if not read promptly.

I've seen takes similar to the author's before and they don't resonate with me. Maybe we just have different relationships with technology. The same way a watch telling me to complete my rings has no power over me because that's not a goal I chose for myself. The watch serves me, not the other way around.

I can't believe how long I was sleeping on fd and zoxide. zoxide is now one of my top commands, and fd feels like when I switched to ripgrep. So fast and easy there's no reason not to run it.

Zoxide is incredible! Going from cd to zoxide is like going from walking to driving an F1 car around the directory tree.

I made a function called y that is like the z function but is git worktree / jj workspace aware. So useful!

I get the error if I try dragging the icon to the home screen. But it works if I click "add to home screen" so it auto-places, then move the icon afterward.

I've got a bunch of web pages on my Lawnchair home screen.

I found MB Compass a few weeks ago and it's been very helpful for everyday things. For example, I just moved to a new apartment and I used the app to identify which room would get the best sunlight for my office. Works great!

That’s great to hear! Glad it’s helping with everyday use cases like that.

I used this during a "geeky jokes" icebreaker at work. No one got the joke so I just sounded condescending. Lesson learned.

That's what Pebble is doing.

Correct. Why isn't everybody doing this?

Their operating system and phone bridge are also open-source. libpebble drives their wearable ring, so it's not just watches.

HBO Max was renamed to just Max. They've now changed it back.

I don't know how they could look at a brand like "HBO Max" and, somehow, deduce that "Max" is the most important part of the name.

The executives in charge at that point made a lot of money on the "90 Day Fiance" "franchise", among other badly and/or dully and/or grossly named things. IP and branding wasn't exactly their strong suit.

This is my experience too. Tried again just this week. Zero issues with Gnome or Cosmic (so likely not hardware issues), but an-least-daily Plasma crashes.
