Just saw this on Threads... Meta is really trying to push AI generated slop 🤮

My lockstitch sewing machine is fully complete. It’s the first needle-feed machine I’ve ever used. I’ve only tried normal drop-feed machines before. Needle-feed is more expensive but when sewing multiple layers of slippery fabric, it should become very beneficial. #sewing

Polls on Nostr can be abused so easily. Unless you charge money to vote, it’s not gonna work without bots spamming the polls. But if it costs money, nobody is gonna use it… View quoted note →

I just received my two sewing machines. Let’s get them assembled!

Been using #Obsidian since forever as the app I use to write notes. I just tried #Craft which is block-based similar to #Notion. I find it so annoying. Trying to select part of the text across two blocks seems to be impossible. As soon as you select some text and drag outside the block, it ends up selecting all the text in that block instead... But the UI looks incredible!

I do think Markdown could be a bit too limiting 🤔 For example, simple things like text alignment isn’t supported, unless breaking the simplicity of Markdown by introducing CSS. But when thinking about it, how often have I wanted the ability to adjust text alignment, like centering some text? Not often… in fact, I don’t think I’ve ever needed that in my notes that I write.

I’ve been working on building a notes app. I want it to be the way I envision the perfect app for brainstorming. Right now, I’m focusing on implementing Markdown support. In the future, I plan to add infinite visual canvases that work like moodboards. Users should be able to add notes, images, videos, links, write text directly on the canvas, and maybe even draw…

For my notes app, I’ve been experimenting with using local plain-text #Markdown files, while also keeping a #SQLite database that stores exact replicas of these files. The SQLite database is used only for indexing, which should make keyword searches in notes much faster. #dev

This is concerning as an #Obsidian user with community plugins installed 😬 Apparently, community plugins have full access to the entire file system on your computer.

After updating to #macOS Tahoe, I'm trying to use #Safari as my primary browser. The new UI looks good, but I have found it to be a bit slow - especially when using Threads[.]com. This could just be because I use the Private Relay-thing. I'm using the Safari extension called Nostash as my Nostr signer. Works great.

With my new #sewing hobby I’ve been looking for YouTube channels teaching how to sew garments. One of the really good channels I’ve found is called Victoria Jin.

I think making stories on #Nostr would be pretty easy. And by stories I mean like on Instagram where they disappear after 24 hours. Nostr.build could have an option where media is deleted/hidden after 24 hours. The note would of course exist for ever, but it would just be an empty note with nothing.

Walking the dog on the beach earlier today. Finally the weather was actually good. Been trash these past few days. On a random note, I’m sad that Apple removed the Mickey Mouse hand from macOS in the new update. It was so iconic… otherwise it’s a cool update. Just wanted to say that…

The new UI on #Nostur app looks really good. Only bug I noticed is the rectangle-thing showing. It shows user info when scrolling down, but otherwise it should probably just be hidden. At first, I thought it was a search field…

A month ago, I mentioned how I wanted to learn #sewing, but I haven’t done anything about it until now. Today I purchased two sewing machines: - Lockstitch: Jack A6F-E - Overlock: Jack C7 Urus 4-thread I also bought some feet for the lockstitch, like an adjustable zipper foot. I forced myself to wait with buying machines before I had sold the last two Juki sewing machines I had in stock at my little sewing machine #business. Today, they finally sold to a company that wanted to buy both machines. So now I purchased two machines for myself to learn sewing - something I’ve been wanting to learn for a long time… #hobby View quoted note →

Building a simple todo list app for fun. Taking a break from the notes app. The #Markdown rendering is difficult, as I can’t just render HTML. I mean, technically I could. Nothing is preventing me from using a `WKWebView`, but I don’t want that. I want the app to be completely native, and embedding a small website in the app isn’t really native… Now I’m developing a little todo app. Need to add dates for deadlines, implement searching, functionality to edit and delete - I think that should be it. Perhaps make a menu bar app for it as well. It’s really just a project I’m doing for fun to improve my Swift skills. The notes app was the first real Swift app I’ve ever worked on, and it’s super hardcore to build (mostly because of Markdown rendering), so not exactly an ideal first project. This todo app is much simpler. #dev #Swift #macOS

I can’t believe my home country is the one pushing for this BS… But at least it didn’t go through 🎉 (However they will keep trying to get it passed) View quoted note →

Getting the paper that says you have a degree in something (software engineering in my case) is what really matters. If two candidates apply for a job, and one has a degree while the other doesn’t, the one with the degree will most likely get the job. Don’t go to college purely to learn something and especially not CS, since everything in CS can be learned at home. Go to college to make it easier to get a job. It just makes you more future-proof. That’s my opinion, but I also learn much better by just jumping in myself and trying hard, rather than listening to someone explain how it’s done. View quoted note →
