In your App settings under „Moderation and content filters“ -> „Muted words & tags“ you can set up muted words, AFAIK these work like this.

Looks like a bunch of the anti-AI posts on Bluesky are bots themselves? What is happening lol.

I have a bit of an unrelated question. I've been trying Tuna a bit lately and was wondering if there is an equivalent to the Raycast "Search Menu Items". I use that quite often to run things like "New Window" when the action in question does not use the regular CMD+N shortcut.

I know it's a vanity metric and doesn't mean anything, still proud of 4k+ GitHub contributions in 2025.

Something I‘ve been doing for a while is adding these „buffer“ screens with an empty widget before the app drawer. This forces me to open apps that are not on the initial screen through search, making it much more intentional.

To me, this slide from @aaronboodman.com's talk today was the most interesting one from the first day of #localfirstconf. Running differential dataflow backwards for initial hydration seems like such an interesting idea.

What I really liked about all the talks today at #localfirstconf was the honesty about tradeoffs. It felt like almost every talk mentioned the topic. We should want multiple solutions to exist, because there's never _really_ a one size fits all solution.

The first round of talks at #localfirstconf were great. Very excited for the rest of the conference!

I worked on a little refactoring today and it turned into a very long session on pulling on threads to untangle them and then praying the tests still pass. Very sorry for whoever needs to review this.

Obligatory meme

A humorous chart titled "Blog Publishing Archetypes" from rakhim.org. The x-axis shows "Number of posts about elaborate blog setups" and the y-axis shows "Number of blog posts." A curved line plots various blogger types, starting high on the left with prolific bloggers who use simple tools ("WordPress setup from 2004," "Old-ass Blogger.com site," "Weird dude who writes raw HTML," "Cool MIT professor," "That guy who never stopped using Tumblr") and declining toward the right where bloggers post less actual content but obsess more about their publishing tools ("Corporate blog with unnecessary continuous integration," "Welcome to nginx!," "Gatsby fan," "Org mode fan," "My mobile Git workflow guy"). The right side features a cluster labeled "Static gen basin" with "Moved from Jekyll to Hugo people" and "Authors of custom static site generators." An outlier dot at the top right is labeled "Superhuman from that big FOSS project" who somehow manages both high output and complex setups.

This year was the first time I managed to finish all #AdventOfCode puzzles. 🍾🍾 I did skip a few part twos but maybe I'll catch up on those in the next few days.
