Musings of a neurotic

😮 PERSONAL NEWS 😮

After 10 years at Facebook, I gave notice today. The intellectual challenges were perpetually daunting, both in scope and novelty—an environment in which I thrive, and relish. I’ll forever miss the inimitable pressure.

So, what’s next? RETIREMENT!

[Justin Blanton @jblanton]

@tweetbylokki I’d pay for these, ESPECIALLY a WhatsApp one! 🙏🏼

[Justin Blanton @jblanton]

We’ve all moved to Threads, right? I just can’t keep posting to and keeping up with all of these Twitter things.

After *15 YEARS* I'm switching from iStat Menus to @imagetasks' iStatistica Pro. It's pretty great, and I much prefer its aesthetic, especially the menu bar stuff. Only downside is that you can't hide the dock icon. Hopefully soon. 🤞🏼

@bradcumbers this happens on the “sign in” shit

What the fuck is the deal with site logins asking for your email and THEN asking for your password on a NEW page?

TIL that the last name of the creator of the lithium-ion battery is "Goodenough". He also died today.

I hope Trump stays out of prison long enough to combat Pence on the debate stage. Can you imagine? I’m salivating. 🤞🏼

Can’t remember the last WWDC where I cared about literally nothing announced 😕

The Vision Pro looks an awful lot like the Quest (Pro). Then again, like rectangular screens, how many different ways can you do it?

We're all on Bluesky now, right? I'm tired of posting to 3 places.

[Justin Blanton @jblanton]

@EvetheWrapper Same 🤣

I'm loving all the domain-based auth, identity, destination, etc. stuff going on lately. Just another few reasons everyone should own their own domain.

After more than a decade on my homescreen, the Wikipedia app has been displaced by the new (official) ChatGPT app. End of an era.

[Justin Blanton @jblanton]

LOVING @raycastapp's ChatGPT integration. The extensions were great, but the native implementation is fantastic. I'm done with my Python CLI interface, Obsidian's plugins, OpenAI's web dingus, etc. Only downside is that I can't use Raycast on my phone (even if only for ChatGPT).
