Eating a Lot of Apples (my Apple computing journey)
I’ve been thinking about buying a MacBook lately. I don’t have a proper need for one at the moment, so I’m giving it time (well, as long as the AIpocalypse will let me 🫠), but I’ve been keeping an eye on it.

People use these flags to denote their nationality, or a country they…

My site’s in the Atmosphere now
So, I hooked up my blog to the Atmosphere. For those who don’t know, the Atmosphere is to Bluesky what the Fediverse is to Mastodon – the network that surrounds their respective protocols (AT Protocol and ActivityPub, respectively), and much like the Fediverse has its own platforms (or rather, people hosting platforms), the Atmosphere has…

“I don’t wanna use Linux because terminal”
My thoughts on the whole aversion to Linux because of the Command Prompt.
