My late father passed away in 2021, but only today did I convince myself to delete his Facebook account. It’s a weird feeling. He would have been 98. 😔
I got a notification this morning from the Apple Store app: my HomeView order was bumped up by a week, so I’ll get it right after I come back from Thailand! 😃
Bye bye OpenClaw
I barely knew you. Fully removed all traces of this cancer from my M4 Mac mini. I feed much better now.
Following my recent post about the demise of the ARC Browser, as a Kagi Search subscriber, I’ll give Kagi’s Orion a serious try. I’ve been using it for about half an hour now, and I like what I see, though it may use a lot more memory1.

This issue has already been reported on Orion’s discussions forum. ↩︎
Most of the recent improvements to Ghost seem to focus on newsletters and monetization. I moved to Ghost to leave WordPress and get basic newsletter capabilities. That’s it. I appreciate Ghost’s openness to the Fediverse, but most of these improvements aren’t targeting users like me. Ninety percent of my publishing goes elsewhere… like here on Micro.blog. Maybe it’s time to reconsider a few things…
Bye bye ARC Browser Should I trust them with Dia? I’m not so sure. Moreover, I don’t want to switch to Chrome. Safari’s extensions support is lacking… what else can I do?
As Apple enters in more uncharted territories for them, I expect more controversies. A bunch of world-class designers imagining new stuff creates a fertile set of conditions. We are in exciting times again.
Surprising lack of singularity
How can eight YouTubers create nearly identical HomeView commentary video thumbnails? Are they following a code of conduct? Is this AI suggestion slop? A few YouTubers go a little bit more imaginative than others, though. Fascinating. Found on Ben Thompson’s blog, in a blog post with an X.com embed1.

Heard today: asking questions is a form of leadership. 👌🏻
A sick guy
According to U.S. President Donald Trump, Russia “has been fine on Ukraine” and “hasn’t been doing much” to the country it has been attempting to violently conquer for over a decade.
“Russia, frankly, has been fine on Ukraine. They haven’t been doing much,” Trump told reporters on Oct. 19.
This guy is sick. There is no other sound way of putting it. Are the mid-terms the cause of his behaviour?
