Remember how Harvest screwed their long-standing customers by jacking up their price by many times? I built Invoicy to replace it.
It’s basic as hell, but does what i need. If it’s useful for you, go nuts.

More people need to know that Canada’s biggest tech firm is run a fucking right wing kook whose brain is simmering in the X cesspool. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/shopify-ceo-appears-to-endorse-giving-more-votes-to-wealthy-canadians-9.7286688
Man, I go into therapy for the first time, and I come out and Tim Cook is stepping down.
Therapy works, fam.
Today while troubleshooting the use of ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I learned these are called Kaomoji: Japanese emoticons made out of combinations of characters to represent facial expressions. Neat! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaomoji
I’ve never felt more jaded as a computer user, but @nileane@nileane.fr has rekindled the joy I used to feel at seeing cool, thoughtful and beautiful software for the Mac: TinyStart is just terrific! Incredibly well done. I miss software like this, so I paid double for it: https://tinystart.app
And not for nothing, but the website for TinyStart is a real banger: nice layout, to-the-point, has a very personal touch. Like the app, just super-tasteful. https://tinystart.app
I find myself quite warm to this idea.
Help me, I cannot work in these conditions.
Preach it, Minister Freeland! (Gift link) https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/28/opinion/canada-trump-tariffs-south-park.html?unlocked_article_code=1.1VA.Oc-G.PvFa7cKcY3Nq&smid=url-share
Nonsensically pleased with the fruit and cheese tray I put out for our guests yesterday.
The PC industry has been moribund for years. Apple choosing to strike with a high quality, low-cost laptop *now*, while component prices spike, is going to go down as one of the smartest things they’ve done in the 21st century.
My enthusiasm for Apple has never been lower, but damn, you gotta admire it.
I don’t like *everything* PM Carney’s doing, but i really do love the cut of his gib. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uk2TZwkhi4E

100 euro fines in Ireland; proposed 1,000 pound fines in the UK. Let's keep that momentum going! Phone sounds in public are my number one pet peeve. https://www.rte.ie/brainstorm/2025/1030/1540979-headphone-dodgers-bare-beating-sodcasting-people-not-using-headphones-on-public-transport/
Is it possible to punch Instruments’ Animation Hitches in the throat? It crashes about 60% of the time and I’m about to throw my computer in the ocean and join the lemurs of the forest
Really, @1password@1password.social ? That’s the kind of price increase that has consumers running for the exits!
Great piece in the Times about a sake producer in Japan that eschews industrial practices. Gift link. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2026/04/22/dining/terada-honke-japan-sake-brewery.html?unlocked_article_code=1.dFA.c2vY.2WKEIRSuwML8&smid=nytcore-ios-share
Excuse us while we hold down this carpet
TinyStart is the sort of thing that makes me want to drop everything and create a charming and cool little Mac app and just sell it to people who care about charming and cool things. 🥹
(Don’t worry, Indigo’s still VERY MUCH what I’m spending all my time on)
Picked up a refurb ThinkPad for a side project. The listing didn’t specify it, but it has a French keyboard. *Tabarnac!*
Wow John, I DO NOT love that simile. 🥺
This looks like an interesting and useful book! https://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/electronics/

I’ve been working with a terrific young designer, Livia Rafaela, who did some great work for me, and is looking for more freelance work. Look at her portfolio! https://www.livrafaela.com
I feel like I would have no choice but to buy the shit out of this, even if (when!) the price is eye-watering. https://www.macrumors.com/2026/03/11/iphone-fold-ipad-style-multitasking/

@joe You gotta think it ended up in a box on the shelf in the back of the unfinished part of the basement, dusty and forgotten until now.

@gedeonm I’m all for increased regulation (I’m Canadian!) and Elon is a rapacious shitbag. But let’s distinguish between the problems of “there’s logistically too much shit up there” and “we can’t see the stars”. I’m with you on the former, but I think the latter is going to fade as a concern.

@gedeonm@mastodon.social all of Stargate is terrific; hang in there.
Stargate Universe was a stinker though.
Interesting thread! There’s something compelling about imagining going back to the very ground level and rebuilding computing knowledge from first principles.

@gedeonm@mastodon.social I don’t want to dismiss your feelings about this, but I do want to challenge the sense that so many satellites is inherently bad. What if this is an inevitable sign of human progress? Imagine you lived in the Star Trek universe of the 24th century. You look up in the night sky and see uncountable ships and stations up there. We have space telescopes that give us ever more info about the mysteries of space. Aren’t we better off?
