What started as a crazy project back in 2023, and first saw the light of day last year, is finally complete!

This post is the type of posts I write for myself so I can find it again easily the next time I set up a Mac computer from scratch.

Then you realise it will take months just to reach feature parity with basic native macOS behaviour: context menus, dictionary lookup, selection, accessibility, text interactions, all the small things users expect without thinking about them.

Note: I wrote this post two months before publishing it because I wrote the draft and then...forgot to post it so I'm just posting it now to get it out of the way, it's probably fine but I just want to set expectations lol Let's say, hypothetically, that…

That is not a bug in how he’s using the computer.

I've been meaning to write this post for checks notes months but, life got in the way, you know how it is.

It's been a minute, hasn't it.

In a very on-brand move, I saw Justice live in San Francisco last Thursday1, I took a bunch of pictures.

Post-launch stuff It has been a fun two weeks since I launched Mac Themes Garden!

The short version I've "launched" the Mac Themes Garden!

TL;DR: I've made a Balatro mod that adds the touch controls of the iOS version on PC.

I've done some tweaks to the layout of the site around links, code bits and other things I'm probably forgetting.

A good creature in plush form is the mark of a, if not good, fine website imo Permalink / Comments

Here it is, the new year!

Saw Justice two times in Paris last week, which makes it four times this year1.

Ever since I first tried it shortly after its introduction, Dolby Atmos on Apple Music felt, to me, gimmicky at best and counterproductive at worst?

Last month definitely has been something, huh?

I keep telling myself I should stop thinking about social media so much, especially in the "current moment", but it keeps happening.

You know, it always surprises me in the best way possible to see my website's button on other people's websites.

Programming note: remember link roundups?

Hello, little blog, it's been a while!

Don't adjust your RSS reader, you're not seeing the same article twice.

Stealing the "link roundup" format from Jae, Shel and Dante and probably others I forget.

Cohost started to send data exports to users.

A custom eggbug made by Bethposting out of foam clay, acrylic paint, mod podge and armature wire For the longest time, on cohost, I kept saying "man, I should try to organize something to meet up with the Bay Area folks".

Well, it turns out I was pretty lucky because Justice's show last night (September 29th) was a very very good one in terms of pictures!

I just saw Gesaffelstein last night at Portola and boy that shit ripped.

This post is mirrored on cohost as well and was written with it in mind.

A little post to tell the folks who are only reading the RSS feed about what I've been up to on damien.zone: I got a links page with: my own links!

#now playing: Pictures of Purple Skies by Memorex Memories I have been enjoying the "no frills" aspect of running a blog on bear so far. the one thing I am missing from my previous blog setup, however, is a way to quickly experiment with the CSS of my blo…

#now playing: BRAT by Charli XCX_ the past weekend, like the past week before it, has seen me go through a whole gamut of emotions. the good, the bad, and everything in between, I feel I've gone through it all.

So. cohost, huh?

The Mastodon instance I've been on for the past 7 years, octodon.social is shutting down next year.

Inspired by "Lack of Vision" by Louie Mantia.

This post will be the second —and last, I think— part of my "Better TweetDeck post-mortem" series.

Welp, here we are.
