I quit for a lot of these reasons. I still have a blog and mastodon, LinkedIn for work/recruiting but that's it. https://durmonski.com/life-advice/reasons-to-quit-social-media/ well said 👏

Just in case you wanted to see the code changes for dark mode: https://github.com/patricksimpson/blog/commit/b5477bc9dc7d22319c06615b2021edec437cd9ec

Just added DARK MODE to my blog. Detects based on browser settings. Special thanks to https://github.com/tastytea for the over 1 year old PR that I didn't see that brought this to my attention. Also: https://css-tricks.com/dark-modes-with-css/ (go nuts)!

Trying the new mastodon app. Seems nice.

Grab text from an image to clipboard on OSX:

screencapture -i /tmp/t.png && tesseract /tmp/t.png - | pbcopy && rm /tmp/t.png

Simplicity is as simplicity does

Work to live. Work to love.
