“The Bear” is a kitchen nightmare where frazzled chefs constantly clash, only to realize that their toxic behavior not only takes a toll on their well-being but also hurts their business.

Posts seems to have a lot of iPhone users. Someone show me something cool they made for Android so I can actually use it
I spoke with @andy and wrote a thing about Posts: notes.ghed.in/posts/2024/pos…
If your really think about it, every single productivity and enterprise software is a fancy and/or multiplayer variation of spreadsheets, plain text editors, or to-do lists.
What I loved the most on WWDC was Apple's new commitment to the ugliness. iOS 18's tinted icons and gen-AI illustrations are seriously ugly. Way to go, Tim!
There's no denying that Robert Scoble is consistent — always embarrassing himself in pictures with the worst products from the big techs 📷 flickr.com/photos/thomash…

I'm planning to drop iCloud for photos and use rclone+S3 to back them up. Has anyone ever taken this path? (My goal is to give Apple exactly US$ 0 of recurring revenue.)
Buttondown is such a pleasure to work with! I chatted with Justin Duke, the founder, to write this post: 🔗 notes.ghed.in/posts/2024/but…
Dear web designers, remember to test your layouts with JavaScript disabled. Some people prefer or have to browse the web without it, and it's very frustrating to land on a site that doesn't work properly just for aesthetic reasons
I spent +10 years failing to keep my reading list under control, until I found an app that changed how I manage it. 🔗 notes.ghed.in/posts/2024/tam…
Site owners, publishers, and creators: have you considered blocking the Google web crawler from your sites? I am, after yesterday's Google I/O. Putting AI crap on top of search results may be the last straw for me
Bebop is 🔥 for people that prefer dealing with *.txt files 🔗 notes.ghed.in/posts/2024/beb…
This is my site's paid subscription landing page (it's in Portuguese). A bold statement, payments available, benefits, and a Q&A. Designers of Posts, what could I improve on it? manualdousuario.net/apoie/

O benefício ao assinar o Manual é manter o site no ar, mas quem assina recebe alguns mimos como agradecimento ✨ O meio de pagamento preferencial é a anuidade por Pix. Pela ausência de taxas de…

The only news that matters from Apple's announcement is that iPad 10th gen got cheaper. Maybe it's time to retire my (not so) good and old iPad Pro OG
I haven't seen “reply guys” in Posts, but they are everywhere. 🔗 notes.ghed.in/posts/2024/rep…
I mostly use Signal to talk to people and I love it and what it represents, but iMessage is so tightly integrate in Apple ecosystem (plus, its desktop app isn't an Electron monstrosity). Sometimes I feel guilty for preferring iMessage over Signal 🫣
I’ve been thinking about how text messaging apps, such as WhatsApp and iMessage, have become the dominant UI/UX to solve problems, organize events, deal with companies and other social interactions. 🔗 notes.ghed.in/posts/2024/tex…
Truth to be told, there are a lot that Android can do that iOS simply can't. 🔗 notes.ghed.in/posts/2024/and…
Business owners: have you ever wanted to simplify, reduce, do less in your business, even if that mean a cut in revenue?
The beauty of free and open source software (FOSS) licenses is the possibilities that it opens up for better futures to abandoned or spoiled software. 🔗 notes.ghed.in/posts/2024/the…
This was an easy call, nonetheless it's concerning to see Substack's attempt to dominate newsletters' market. Welcome to their extinguish phase. 🔗 notes.ghed.in/posts/2024/sub…

Two unrelated events — the birth of someone’s baby close to me and a site that generates random ugly avatars — led me to rethink the exposure to which I submit, almost always voluntarily, on the internet. 🔗 notes.ghed.in/posts/2024/hid…

In March, I ran an experiment in my Portuguese-written blog: I stopped distributing its content on social media and messaging apps. 🔗 notes.ghed.in/posts/2024/no-…
What is your opinion about avatars on social networks that are not the real photo of the person?
My humble personal site was featured at deadsimplesites.com I loved they translated it to English — a reminder to do it myself!

PSA: Google Podcasts' discontinuing today (April 2nd) only applies to the US. For the rest of world, the app will keep working until June 24th. 🔗 notes.ghed.in/posts/2024/end…
MSN Messenger on the iPhone. (The font simulating text on 2000s low-resolution screens is awesome.) 🔗 twitter.com/helvetiica/sta…
Any Mastodon user here? On iOS? I just discovered Mastoot, a free app that's a pleasure to use — it's simple, snappy, the kind of app I really enjoy. It's a little neglected, although working fine, but development is about to begin again!
Today is WordPress 6.5 day! Looking forward to native AVIF images support: make.wordpress.org/core/2024/02/2… I've been using AVIF images on my site using a workaround. With the official support, I plan to drop the fallback to *.png/*.jpg

I started a refactoring of my site's CSS. So far, I reduced non-minified version from 33.9 KB to 24.7, or -27.3%. At first I thought it would be good for performance; now, I'm more interested in simplifying and leveraging browsers' defaults.
I just upgraded the SSD of our home server — 120 to 480 GB, and an SSD ~6x faster. Take notes, Apple (or antitrust regulators and legislators)!
We'd live in a better world if HTML email didn't exist (or plain text email was the default). 🔗 notes.ghed.in/posts/2024/pla…
Browser companies are boasting downloads increasing in EU due to DMA. It seems nice at first glance, but I think browser choice screens are a bad way to fight Chrome and Safari monopolies. 🔗 notes.ghed.in/posts/2024/bro…
A little email lifehack: add “guest post” to your spam filter. Instant fix for those annoying “opportunities” from casinos/sporting bet interested in link building.
