Lovely! And also explains why Zed is the first IDE where I’ve not felt the need to go in and change the font :)

Finally watched Marty Supreme, excellent. Damn the soundtrack is so on point, Daniel Lopatin is a genius.
yeah I also binned it years ago, became a total binfire

Designing and building for a user base of one has been unexpectedly refreshing.

I have a strong feeling I'd mess that up 😅

Not going to be saying goodbye to this though for obvious reasons...

Late to the party, but finally got round to building my first custom keyboard over the break. Love this thing 💙
Nicely articulated Roo, agree with all of this. It’s so overwhelming. And hard to know how to prevent and push back against it. But I’m also resolute in absolutely refusing to accept it.
Love the experimentation here. Had seen one or two of these on IG, but great to read a bit more behind the work.

If you're an Astro user, you might be interested in Astro Editor. It's a brilliant little markdown/mdx editor with a nice simple UI that does one job really well. Thanks for making it @danny.is 🙏

Surely there'll be a lock in?
I have in the past aye and aware it’s free now 👍 But despite all Adobe’s faults, I love Illustrator
Two orthographically viewed letter A's. Both extruded, one built from freeform fills and one in black with white strokes
Freeform gradient fills with noise. One inside a circle, the other inverted to form the background
Some output from last night's playing about in Illustrator, exploring freeform gradients and a workflow from blender to illustrator...

Good words by Frank Chimero as ever. Would've liked to have been at this talk

Hey, see replies to Anna here. So far so good. Rule of thumb is to not have everything locked in to one service...

Synology Drive + Photos are a great replacement for Google Drive / Photos which were the hardest things to unpick for me. Just hated having Googles tentacles in everything and feeling locked into giving them £s forever.
In fairness, I'll not be completely free of GDocs/Sheets etc, if a client shares anything from there. But in that case I'll just use my free gmail account. Again easily unpickable.
For email/calendar, I shifted to Fastmail which has been ace. Not free, but my rationale is to not use a sub that is so convoluted to leave that I'm trapped. And Fastmail would be easy to leave if I wanted to. Also seems to work with Google Cal invites so far :)
And don’t even get me started on Plex, how did I not have this set up years ago. So very good 👌🏼
In so doing have learnt of the joys of owning a Synology NAS, fully controlling my data and having everything auto backed up on a schedule. Now experiencing some kind of digital zen 🧘🏻
Recently untangled myself and my freelance business from Google Workspace (email, calendar, photos, drive, docs etc) after nearly 14 years.
Super liberating to no longer be locked in to a subscription that goes up in price arbitrarily every n months/years.
