Max Hawkins @maxhawkins.me · 26/09/2026Try adhesive thermal paper! It’s like a sticky note. It’s great to be able to put them on a wall or fix them in place. 000
Max Hawkins @maxhawkins.me · 06/09/2026Ha! I just used Claude to fix a CarPlay bug in my car’s Android head unit. It’s a little addictive once you realize you can give it a random piece of hardware and it will figure out how to talk to it. 000

Max Hawkins @maxhawkins.me · 31/07/2026I would love to, but Spotify’s API is blocking it at the moment. I’m considering rebuilding it on YouTube music! 010
Max Hawkins @maxhawkins.me · 28/03/2026Do you have any examples of the kind of downer content you’re more likely to see in this type of feed? I’m trying to imagine it. 000
Max Hawkins @maxhawkins.me · 28/03/2026So exciting to see this kind of experimentation! I hope feeds like these can get more exposure in the Bluesky UI sometime soon so they’re easier to discover. 010
Max Hawkins @maxhawkins.me · 21/03/2026At the Stoney Creek Inn off of 86th street in Johnston, Iowa. That was the first time I felt genuinely confounded by the political preferences of my fellow Americans, which unfortunately has become a much more common experience in recent years. 130
Max Hawkins @maxhawkins.me · 14/03/2026It’s not 😀 They used a loophole in the vehicle code to get a “temporary” permit years ago and the city just never enforced the removal after it expired. Similar situation to this one: afrolanews.org/2024/10/deca...afrolanews.orgDecades ago, homeowners gated public streets in the name of curbing crime. Now, a group is trying to take them downTo some neighbors, the gates are an ugly symbol of exclusion and segregation. 140
Max Hawkins @maxhawkins.me · 14/03/2026This is the same neighborhood that has unpermitted gates blocking all their public streets, creating a de facto gated community while still receiving city services like trash and street sweeping. 160
Max Hawkins @maxhawkins.me · 14/03/2026Custom feeds are the most liberating feature on here. I wish they could be used for finding new music. Is there any #atproto solution for music discovery yet? 230
Max Hawkins @maxhawkins.me · 14/03/2026How easily you can pull something random from a platform tells you how free it actually is for its users. Unfortunately, it's harder every year to get anything from the internet that hasn't been tailored for you by someone else's algorithm. 130
Max Hawkins @maxhawkins.me · 14/03/2026Spotify decided to enshittify its API this month, which is forcing me to shut down the Daily Random playlist I've been running since 2015. The app randomly selects 30 songs daily to expose you to different types of music. open.spotify.com/playlist/6p2...open.spotify.comDaily Random 371

Max Hawkins @maxhawkins.me · 26/02/2026I've started building a lot more one-off niche macOS apps since starting to use Claude. It's so nice to have a native app but previously I was too intimidated by XCode to try. 110
Max Hawkins @maxhawkins.me · 24/02/2026I’ll try and get some folks from the NELA Computer Club to come through 110
Max Hawkins @maxhawkins.me · 28/01/2026Thanks for listening! I think it should be fixed now. Let me know if it works. 100
Max Hawkins @maxhawkins.me · 25/12/2025I get this all of the time. Probably 30% of videos I watch. 010
Reposted by Max HawkinsDaniel Swain @weatherwest.bsky.social · 08/12/2025It appears that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has, within the past week, scrubbed a large amount of climate change content from its official website, as well as *removed human-caused warming* from the discussion on its "causes of climate change" page. 34870551

Max Hawkins @maxhawkins.me · 04/12/2025This is so awesome! Kind of a fun way to find people to follow too. 020
Max Hawkins @maxhawkins.me · 04/12/2025This is so cool. It totally demystifies the algorithm and puts the user more in control of directing it. I wish there was in-app UI for presenting this type of info for all my feeds. 010

Max Hawkins @maxhawkins.me · 24/08/2025I prefer the C-style interface, but LLMs seem to have a harder time programming against the less popular API so I find myself going back to stdlib recently. 120
Max Hawkins @maxhawkins.me · 24/08/2025What do you think of the low level packages (zombiezen, crawshaw) that mirror the C api more directly instead of db/sql? 110
