Jujutsu is starting to grow on me in ways I can't fully articulate yet.

Essentially my workflow now is: create an empty commit describing some change. Do all my immediate work in a second empty commit on top of that. If the work fits within the larger change I described in the previous commit, squash the changes, then I'm back to an empty commit again and the change just accumulates below. If I realize "Oh crap, this thing I just did has nothing to do with the larger change but it's still good to have," no problem. Just describe it, commit, then I can easily rebase the previous squash on top of the change I just made. So then I have main -> unrelated nice-to-have change -> squashed commit with larger change -> empty commit for new work. It sounds confusing, and it still kind of is, but it feels like peeling back a level of burocracy I didn't quite realize existed until it was gone. I can even jj prev a couple times, rewind the worktree past the squash commit, and keep working on the new problem there if I want. Sure it's all possible in git, but how much magic do you need to know to actually want to use that on a daily basis? Willingly?

Speaking of Git, when it's time to not break Git users' brains (and my own brain still, if I'm being completely honest) I update my bookmarks (named commits, as far as I can tell) and push them to Git as branches. Then I just keep on working however I like or need to, and filter it out to upstream as needed. The fact that my working directory is tracked automatically unless I explicitly gitignore a thing worried me at first, but the key is making that squash commit what I want to filter out upstream. So all those design notes, sketches, test scripts and such that were useful to have and automatically version but probably aren't great to upstream? Just rm them in the squash commit and they're taken care of. I still technically have them on that branch if I need them again later.

No LFS support, no submodules, and no meaningful hooks are kind of rough, though. Hooks I can deal without except for at the Git boundary, but those other two...

When the dynamic island on iPhone is telling me I have 10 percent battery remaining (and often preventing me from opening the app switcher at the same time for some reason), it has a VoiceOver action named "Collapse." This action doesn't actually seem to do anything.

Is there a consistent way, other than waiting, to tell the island that I get it and would now like it to get out of my face?

From January 20th, 2026, #books released through #Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) without #DRM will be downloadable as #EPUB or #PDF for users who have purchased them. It will also be possible for no-DRM status to be toggled for existing #ebooks.

It remains to be seen how many #authors and publishers will take advantage of this, whether the files will be watermarked, and if the feature will be available for non-KDP titles.

@Friendica Support hello, may i pls get some help on this query about #Circles ?

i have sub-divided my list of follows & followers into several Circles. one of these is for all my followed #newsbots. i have found to my chagrin that a basic design feature of #Friendica is working against me here. atm, if i read a particular newsbot's post whilst in my "Bot" circle, then decide to quote-boost / quote-share it, with some pertinent commentary by me, it's a complete waste of time... the default Friendica permissions / visibility feature makes my resultant post "Locked", ie visible only to members of this circle, ie, a heap of bots. no actual human will ever see it.

[how] can i avoid this? how can i manually allow any/all posts / replies / boosts / shares that i do from this circle, be visible across all the fediverse?

when circles comprise actual human accounts, this baked-in Friendica privacy concept makes sense. it is however actively unhelpful, indeed plain obstructive, for the specific case of a bot circle.

thx.

@thunderbird I love your work, but pushing this tab into Thunderbird, causing Thunderbird to pop in front of my current meeting window while I’m presenting and have to then scramble to close it and get my notes visible again, is _utterly_ unacceptable.

You gotta find a better way.

Just seen somewhere on the internet:

Person 1: I want to use OpenVPN.

persons 2, 3 and 4: You *really* should use Wireguard. It's more secure, way faster, and easier to deploy. Pretty much everyone has dropped it in favor of Wireguard. Here are a bunch of valid reasons why you shouldn't use OpenVPN in favor of Wireguard, with resources explaining things in great detail in ways that are easy to understand.

Person 1: Yeah, cool. But I'm going to deploy OpenVPN anyway.

Sometime later, in a completely differenct place:

Person 1: I have just deployed a new self-hosted OpenVPN. Wow, this is really slow and kind of annoying to deal with.

Persons 5, 6 and 7: You should have used Wireguard.

in speaking with my colleagues at @delta i began to test multi-transport (multi-relay) functionality.

early testing looks very good on android, just now we wait until all client engineers bring core library into parity.

we are close to being unstoppable.

now is an amazing time to try #deltachat

interested in running #chatmail relay?

or contact me. i run several and am happy to help you onboard!

Everything Trump does is a metaphor. He knows only how to destroy, not to build.

Destroy the East Wing with no new design or blueprint.
Destroy US healthcare without having a replacement.
Destroy the US economy without having a fix.
Destroy FEMA with no plan for emergency response.
Destroy environmental regulations without any new protections.
