I've been posting across Bluesky, Mastodon & Threads since the downfall of Twitter

I though the most likely drop in replacement would have been BlueSky but I'm honestly having a much better time over on Threads out of the three most recently

Small win for February - managed to finish my first book for the year and it was truly a great one to start with

Even better news - I’m halfway through a second book on my new e-reader that I got 2 weeks ago

Shoutout to @eldweena.bsky.social for the post the inspired me to get back into reading

I Taught My Dog to Vibe Code Games | Caleb Leak My cavapoo Momo vibe coded playable Godot games. All I had to do was teach her to type, route her input to Claude Code, and build the right tools.

I can't believe we got vibe coding dogs before GTA VI

How software engineering goes sometimes:

- Pick up ticket
- Make small changes
- Doubt the changes are enough & panic because clearly you've missed something
- Get PR review...get told you did everything perfectly
- Happy
- Pick up ticket...

I knew Dishoom sold a cookbook online, but I didn't realise they had so much to sell now (including clothing!)

I already have a feeling that Sonnet/Opus via Copilot + OpenCode might be a good combo for coding πŸ‘€

GitHub Copilot has been a great for trying out & testing different LLMs without having to setup accounts/API keys with each provider but I found it didn't integrate into other tools like Cline

Found a post saying Copilot supports OpenCode now so going to try this out

it was something I could just buy off a shelf instead of having to tinker with a Β£150 keyboard & risk breaking it in the process

I'd happily pay someone to do this for me - If there's anyone around London that's good at this sort of stuff let me know

A hand pressing a small rectangular black button near a compact aluminum Mac mini and a white-black mechanical keyboard on a wooden desk

As someone that primarily uses a mechanical keyboard with a macbook, I really need to figure out a way to add TouchID to my keyboard

I've seen these projects where people have managed to extract the TouchID module from an Apple Magic keyboard to make these stand-alone buttons but I wish...

So funny enough I don’t think affording one is the issue, I just don’t drive enough to really justify it. I think I average 50 miles A MONTH so it’s kinda overkill to get a EV. I already have an EV home charger so I was just thinking to make use of that

I’m a hard no on Teslas now as well

AirTag Attach AirTag to everyday items, like your keys or a backpack, to easily keep track of them in the Find My app. With its loudest speaker yet and 1.5x Precision Finding range.

I will accept this modest upgrade to the Airtags - I've been holding off getting a few more waiting for this upgrade...how if Apple could just release the new Apple TV already πŸ‘€

Honestly I just think it's such a strange decision to have remade the first game with so much attention to detail and then just completely drop the series again without bothering to remake the second and third game

It feels so incomplete!

I've managed to get a ride in a Polestar EV a few times now (a friend has one) and I'm trying very hard to not immediately search up how much they are online cause I'm very impressed with them (and found out you can connect them to Home Assistant πŸ‘€)

I was looking to do a speed upgrade as well πŸ˜…

I need to actually check what the model of my single stick of RAM is and then yes, buying a second stick of the same model could work very well (if prices have not already doubled since your reply)

A dilemma I have now...

My gaming PC has a single stick of RAM (16GB DDR4 2133MHz)

Given current RAM prices, I'm wondering if I should upgrade it 32GB 3200MHz now or later πŸ€”

I found a pair of sticks on Amazon for Β£200 but I could see on the price history it was Β£100 a few months ago πŸ’€

Digg - People. Places. Things. Digg was where humans on the internet decided what was cool before bots took over that job. Today, it's where you find your people. The ones chasing weird links, asking better questions, and keeping the internet curious.

Completely missed this, but looks like digg.com is is open beta now and it seems like custom communities have also launched as well πŸš€

Trading212 are working on a public API that for their S&S ISA! πŸ‘€

I might be mistaken but I don't think I know of any other S&S ISA provider that offers API access to ISAs

Not sure how SCA (Strong Customer Authentication) is being enforced here but I'm here for cool APIs!

This is the first time I've seen Martin Lewis talk this much in depth about index funds!

I'm hoping this leads to more people actually getting into investing long term

The S&S ISA is still a massively underutilised wealth generation tool
