Made some little quality of life updates to #radioghost inc. a randomiser 🔀, better support for media controllers, accessibility, keyboard navigation, plus I tweaked layout responsiveness and button styling. Did I already mention it’s a proper PWA you can install to your device homescreen too?

My #ramps test print just arrived from Denmark, and I couldn't be happier. 1.2 meter square. 300gsm archive paper. Museum glass. Natural oak frame. So pretty 🤩

@bsky.app is down? Didn't notice because I'm using the @eurosky.social appview in @mu.social ( enable it here → mu.social/settings/net... )

I'm passionately against AI slop. I also use LLMs constantly to make tools and workflows art. To me, there is no contradiction because 'using AI' isn't one activity. Writing a prompt and building tools are different acts, with a fundamentally different relationship to conceptualisation and creation.

Made a few little updates to my radio today. #radioghost can now pull in #nowPlaying information and ticker it across the screen. Tuning now works a lot better: because stations aren't always broadcasting, it keeps seeking until it finds the next available station. radio.renderg.host

Had a long snooze today to catch up on much needed rest, woke up and iterated on my #radio app. The design is 61.8% tighter on mobile. If I wasn't so terrified of OAuth, I might put this on the Atmosphere 🌀 and let you save your own favourite stations... Until then... radio.renderg.host

One year ago today, I died and was brought back to life. Tomorrow, I celebrate my second birthday—a unique honour—with my most special people. I’m so happy to be alive, a gift despite life’s challenges. Death comes inconveniently, on a normal day, when you’re not prepared. Hug your loved ones today.

Mockup: @bsky.app @mu.social @blackskyweb.xyz @transrights.northsky.social et al could nudge people toward `Post interaction settings` when posts gets sudden spikes in traction. Many may not find these useful safety features until after they need them. cc @aaron.bsky.team @alexbenzer.com
