Definitely a situation where the level of noise shot way up while the caring people are still there (hi!)

Allegedly, LLMs have enabled hobbyists to build and improve tons of "media management" tools in the last year that can populate these self-hosted servers. You should not look up these tools, and certainly not set them up with friends.

From personal experience, Cushion has localized invoices (no CSS, though you could ask for it!), and Jonnie is nice! cushionapp.com

Why Cushion? - Cushion

Aside from features, here are a few ways we differ from the other services.

I keep using some form of this metaphor when talking about why I believe in ML for lots of tasks, but I also think that LLMs are built on a false promise. louis-andre.net/journal/you-...

If you don't mind a bit of command line, there's Restic. It backs up directories to pretty much any storage you can think of. Look at Backrest if you'd rather have an interface with it. I use it with Backblaze's B2 for storage, which comes to ~1$ every two months currently.

This level of naming is a map of colour use, not a list of tokens. I see one possibly useful exception: An app that has deep theming options might want explicit separation, where there's a layer applying theme colours to "slots" in components. The map pattern becomes relevant then.

Hello, I recently came across your content, I love the way it mixes themes and ideas. Would you be open to a brand collaboration for a new app that teaches children how to smoke?

A messenger bursts into the office, brandishing a new incident case. In the short silence that greets him there is an expectant hunger. From all three desks at the front, the sound of the sharp software withdrawn from its scabbard

There are two ways to resolve the cognitive dissonance of being on Twitter while also caring about all the awful shit happening because of Twitter 1. Leave Twitter 2. Stop caring Profoundly disappointing how many people I like seem to have chosen the latter

I get a lot of “but it’s business people making programmers do this” replies, implying that software engineers are innocent. That’s the software engineers who stole the term “engineer” from another profession that has very strict certification requirements & mandatory ethics classes.
