Whenever I look up websites to browse emojis or unicode glyphs, all the sites have a ton of ads, popups, features, bloat. They suck. So I made one that doesn't suck. That is all. bettermojis.solarise.dev

@stevemarkperry Nice, been planning a couple of personal projects so may give that a try soon. Been getting more into the Macbook ecosystem too, so that'll help! It'll be interesting to see how well integrated Claude is into that whole loop (still quite a bit of manual feedback needed?)

@solarise_webdev Yes native, Swift. Using Opus 4.7 and feeding it screenshots and log output. It's worked really well. I had to run it through some debugging today as it felt janky and kept crashing, but got it to a decent place now. Tempted to release it as an MVP.

Claiming it's fine, I don't mind the heat. My pasty Scottish complexion can cope with 20C. I'm not bothered. I'm ok with this.

@realesttruth1 @jay_hildreth_1 You can still absolutely do it. Tougher to get going of course but if you're in decent shape, nothing stopping you except your own mind. The sensible discourse around this is "don't drink excessively, know your limits" Not "sobriety is the only path to achievement"

@jay_hildreth_1 Yea and I used to get shit faced in college while still hungover and be fine 24 hours later. It’s not the same once you get older bro. You’ll know when you get there.

@jay_hildreth_1 I once had a night of Guinnesses then ran a 10k the next day. Maybe added a few minutes to my time, alas. But I learned to live with the shame.

@owroot I'm wondering if it's a guilt thing, like he didn't spend three days recovering from the effects of alcohol, he was simply suffering from the guilt of it.

Apart from the jokes about the fact that (allegedly) getting decimated for three days due to a couple of glasses of wine one night is the lamest thing I've heard in a long time and something that even an 86 year old granny wouldn't admit to, there is something interesting here about the religious impulse of people. So much of this kind of stuff - health / efficiency maxed stuff - is just secularized religious impulse. It's obvious in the way they talk about the substances or ingredients whatever it may be. There is a decidedly strident kind of "believing" tone. They exaggerate a lot. For example, there is no way this guy was actually negatively impacted for three days in any meaningful way. Maybe he believes somewhere he feels it but by no reasonable way of understanding our body did it really happen to him. They exaggerate the positives and the negatives in a kind of religious fervor to justify it. They are basically performing a pretty standard religious impulse - separating things into holy vs unholy / pure vs impure / sacred vs profane. They don't use that language of course. The whole point here is that it is secularized religious impulse, but that's what it is. It's interesting once you see it as that. People are searching and want to feel that religious fervor even if they don't see themselves as religious. They ache for the feeling of righteousness, whether it be in casting out the demonic seed oils, forgoing the evil spirit water known as wine, or seeking salvation in the perfected sleep score.

Steven Bartlett says a few glasses of wine ruined the next 3 days of his life “It's one of those areas where you don't understand the hidden cost until you really give it up for a while. I stopped drinking at 30 years old. I'm now 33. When I was 31, I thought, I'll have a drink again because now I could really A/B test it. I had a year of not drinking, decided to have a drink again” “It ruined three days of my life. I had a couple of glasses of wine, didn't get drunk. It ruined three days of my life because of the domino effect it caused” “I got worse sleep that night, and then because I got worse sleep that night, I ate more poorly the next day because my dopamine system or whatever, the cortisol system was all messed up. I podcasted worse. I didn't go to the gym that day or the day after because I felt really bad. I then slept worse, and I could track all of this on my Whoop”

Before i saw your context here I thought it was going to be a terrible take but I actually agree Drowning your thoughts in music all day is bad for you. Listen intentionally ALSO - electronic or heavily produced music is bad for you. Use it like a drug. 95% of your listening should be acoustic music.

i challenge anyone who listens to music for 6+ hours a day to quit for a week to: 1) realize it's an addiction 2) realize how much better your thoughts become

@Nithya_Shrii Perks include: Never leaving the office. You can sit with your small team in the office. Windows to look at sky but sunlight is weakness. Sunlight kills productivity. Live like a vampire while delivering shareholder value.

Mark Zuckerberg says Apple's lack of innovation since the iPhone will lead to its decline "They haven't really invented anything great in a while. Steve Jobs invented the iPhone, and now they're kind of sitting on it 20 years later" "Year over year, I'm not even sure they're selling more iPhones at this point. Part of it is that each generation doesn't actually get that much better, so people are taking longer to upgrade" "They built stuff like AirPods, which are cool, but they've thoroughly hamstrung the ability for anyone else to build something that can connect to the iPhone" "I'm pretty optimistic that because they've been so off their game in terms of not really releasing many innovative things... eventually they'll get beat by someone"

That was a longggg time ago though, back when mobile phones were a real novelty. 2000ish maybe? Eventually people started to realise that the number became more of an identity Especially now with so many services tied to your number, something a lot of people don’t truly appreciate the fragility of.

I’ve had a few that have done ok on my main timeline, mostly tech demos recently eg when everyone was doing pretext stuff, but that only really kicked off because I posted it a few times as a reply in other threads. Original content doesn’t stand a chance here now, attention economy

@PerttiSoomann @elonmusk @antigravity No not really. I've had it for a while now and post views are crazy low. I feel like I'm speaking to myself half the time. I get way more vis and interaction on Instagram. All I see doing well on here is rage bait and hype BS. Genuine content gets lost.

This platform is screwed. I pay for the blue tick and try to follow best practice when posting and I often get less than 20 views on my posts. Seriously, not sure why I bother posting here any more. Nevermind paying for it! @elonmusk it's impossible to grow accounts on here unless you post hype BS. Posting genuine content gets you nowhere. How do us smaller accounts even stand a chance?
