Apple makes a move to acquire an app so Apple-like that you might be surprised to learn it’s not first-party: Pixelmator. During an age when Adobe is laser-focused on the enterprise to its peril, this might be a good thing.

I agree with Cory Doctorow on Bluesky. I've been saying the same thing, more politely, for a while. Maybe they'll listen, or maybe their business model is to sell their user base, as Twitter did.

There are a few ways to keep costs down when building a mini PC. One is to opt for an inexpensive, low-power processor like an Intel Alder Lake-N chip. Another is to just use older processors that are no longer state-of-the-art. Chuwi’s new UBox mini PC takes the latter approach. It’s a small desktop computer […]

I’m a fan of Kong the CLI argument parser, I use it to automatically create manual pages, (bash) completion and do a lot of validation inside it. (This guy also has other really interesting packages, and he’s a huge fan of Go’s struct tags). I wanted to do validation inside Kong as well, for this Kong has validation, which is just a method (Validate() error) on a type. Now most types I have are just string or any other builtin type.
