|

> “Don’t waste this. Keep everyone guessing. Make me proud.” When Panic co-founder Cabel Sasser spoke at our second festival in 2013, the Mac software company had just started venturing into games by funding the studio behind Firewatch, an indie blockbuster that launched Panic’s games publishing business and, eventually, the Playdate handheld console.

|
||
|
||
> If you didn’t know any better, you would expect almost all normal users to have \[2\] and professional engineers to have something like \[1\], but it’s actually the inverse: only few professional software engineers can “afford” to have the second option as their personal website, and almost all normal users are stuck with overcomplicated solutions.
|

||
* [Exploring desktop Linux][7]
|
||
|
||
> Part One in what is likely to be a long series on my explorations in modern Linux desktop land.

* [Thinking Like an AI - by Ethan Mollick - One Useful Thing][8]
|
||
|
||
> However, I do think having a little bit of intuition about the way Large Language Models work can be helpful for understanding how to use it best. I would ask my technical readers for their forgiveness, because I will simplify here, but here are some clues for getting into the “mind” of an AI.

|
||
* [A Syllabus for Generalists – Syllabus][9]
|
||
|
||
> A syllabus for generalists is comprised of four weeks of general education; that is, a little bit of everything. It contains something for everyone—for specialists looking to branch out, and for generalists searching for new beginnings of knowledge

* [How to do the RSS - annie's blog][10]
|
||
|
||
> This is a simple guide for people who are not super tech-oriented. I like the recent You should be using an RSS reader article that’s being shared. And I think we need a simple little guide for people who might read that article and think, Yeah. Good idea. I should do that.
|
||
|
||
* [World of Warcraft is still here, and it’s still huge][11]
|
||
|
||
> Reviewing the private record, it’s clear World of Warcraft tore through my life like an experienced raiding party of max-level grinders through the Deadmines. Admittedly, it was the kind of nymph-stage young adult life that was conceptually made of crepe paper and easily shredded by a video game. But something about the predictable rhythm of ordering junk food delivery after an exhausting workday, logging onto World of Warcraft, and hopping through some lush environment searching for herbs to ma...

|
||
* [It turns out I'm still excited about the web][12]
|
||
|
||
> My cynicism has been tempered by the discovery that there are still movements out there that remind me of the web’s original promise — efforts that focus on reclaiming independence and fostering real community. Despite the commercialization of the web, these are still places where that original spirit of openness and community-building thrives.
|
||
|
||
* [Pluralistic: You should be using an RSS reader (16 Oct 2024)][13]
|
||
|
||
> Switching to RSS lets you experience just the good parts of the enshitternet, but that experience is delivered in manner that the new, good internet we're all dying for.
|
||
|
||
* [I like Go, but only when I don't have to write it][14]
|
||
|
||
> I have finally reflected on the experience and found what's missing in my declared preferences above: expressiveness. I expect expressiveness of a language. I continue to "like" Go, and think it's a great idea, as long as it's written and read by others.
|
||
|
||
* [Remind me later][15]
|
||
|
||
> As of this story, I am forced to make some changes in the format, particularly in the number of panels. Unfortunately, in this new format, the original ending of this comici s not available. I hope you can continue to enjoy more stories from The Secret Knots. Thank you.

|
||
* [Putting the “Person” in “Personal Website” - Jim Nielsen’s Blog][16]
|
||
|
||
> Isn’t it crappy how basic human activities like singing, dancing, and making art have been turned into skills instead of being recognized as behaviors? The point of doing these things has become to get good at them. But they should be recognized as things humans do innately, like how birds sing or bees make hives.
