Friday session in Belfast
After road trips across the country, to California multiple times, all over Texas, through Utah, and to New York… My good luck with the Honda Element ran out this week. Fender bender in a parking lot ripped off my back bumper. It was cracked anyway, so guess it was past time to replace.
Gemini CLI continues to get hung up on fairly simple things. It’s the free version, using a lightweight model, so I don’t mean to complain too much. Sort of stuck in a loop of trying to update CSS files:
I apologize for the repeated issues with the replace tool. It seems I’m still struggling with the exact string matching. I will try a different approach to remove the old media query block. I will read the file content, manually remove the block from the content, and then write the modified content back to the file. This should bypass the strict matching issues.
Still pretty amazing, though.
Great point from Jeff Johnson on the arbitrary tier 1 / tier 2 differences in Apple’s proposed EU rules:
What I found striking about the search differences between Tier 1 and Tier 2 is that in creating this distinction, Apple clearly considers App Store search to be a developer feature rather than a user feature. In other words, the user’s interest in finding an app via search is disregarded, and Apple is willing to be less helpful to users to the extent that app developers pay a lesser commission to Apple.
I'm working my way through The Bear, and it's great because you remember that you love all these characters and you can immediately start living the ongoing drama of their lives. The scene they paint is intriguing. I feel like a cat perched on a window watching everyone doing their daily stuff. Looking forward to going back to the beginning and starting over.

I was asked this week about our policy when a subscription expires or sadly even if someone passes away. I know I’ve blogged about this, but I don’t think it was formally documented, so I wrote up a simple help page for it.
The longest continuously updated RSS feed in the known universe.
Experimenting with Gemini CLI to iterate on some web page changes. It’s free for basic usage. It does get confused sometimes, having to re-read files and apply changes multiple times, which makes it feel slow and a little wasteful.
Enjoyed listening to the copyright discussion on SharpTech this week. Copyright is not a universal truth. It’s effectively a limited monopoly given to creators. That’s helpful, but it must be balanced with the public good. Sometimes we go too far, like Mickey Mouse’s 95-year copyright.
