Five least favourite tech topics

The other day Kevin sent me a preview link of an upcoming post for his Overkill site, and I jokingly replied to him that «Home servers are probably the second least appealing tech topic for me». I then started thinking about what my least favourite tech topics are, and I tho...

On concrete examples

I had some great conversations via email over the past couple of weeks with a bunch of different people, discussing all sorts of things that I’ll for sure end up writing about. Today I wanted to briefly touch on the topic of examples, which was part of the lovely conversatio...

My issue with the two sides

One fairly common concept you’ll inevitably stumble upon if you spend any modicum of time reading discussions on the web is the idea of “two sides”. Some will tell you that the two sides are not the same and one is clearly better than the other, others will argue that not ta...

Safari and iOS 26: PSA and a rant

The new iOS is bad in so many ways that writing a post highlighting them all is quite pointless. By the time I’d be done typing, they’d have likely released iOS 27 (and hopefully fixed most of this nonsense). So I’m not gonna waste time doing that and simply focus on one sin...

On public online behaviour

I’m currently in “digital fasting” mode, trying to consume as little content as possible here on the internet. But I do have to be here for work, and so I still end up reading a few things here and there. Some of that content is sent to me via email by random people (always ...

Making things obvious

Back in February 2024, I published a blog post about my new—at the time—site. One of the things I mentioned in that post was that this site had a guestbook. Quick aside: a guestbook, for those of you who might not know, is something that used to be fairly common on the web ...

New site, kinda

If you’re reading this blog using RSS or via email (when I remember to send the content via email), you likely didn’t notice it. And if you’re reading my blog in the browser but are not a sharp observer, chances are, you also didn’t notice it. A new version of my site is liv...

Scoring books

Over the past couple of years, I've used Literal to keep track of the books I've read and that I’m reading. When you mark a book as completed, Literal, like probably every other site and app of this type, asks for a review, which includes a 1-to-5 star rating. I suck at this...

Digital fatigue

I think I’m starting to feel what I can only describe as digital fatigue. I believe this is the result of a combination of two main factors: I spend most of my time in front of a screen for work, coding sites for clients and friends (and sometimes for myself). My RSS feed h...

RIP my minimal phone setup

As you probably know by now, thanks to the infinite supply of news on the subject, today new OS versions came out for Apple gadgets. Yes, it’s the one with that idiot Liquid Glass. Yes, I hate it. No, I don’t hate it because it’s different from what I was used to before. And...

Two quick news items

Sometimes I post not because I have something to get out of my system, but because I have something I want to share. This is one of those occasions. First, Cody has a new pop-up newsletter going called “Trespassing Through Montana”. I’m a big fan of what he does, and I also ...

On em dashes

Stumbled on this post a moment ago—on a lovely colourful blog, I might add—and I have thoughts on the subject: I'm low-key mad about this! So we just can't use em dashes anymore? We let the machines take them from us?? And we didn't even put up a fight or anything??? Altho...

Blogs don’t need to be so lonely

While clicking through my RSS feeds, I found my way to Jay’s post titled “Do blogs need to be so lonely?”. It’s an interesting post, especially interesting for me since I love blogs. Betteridge's law of headlines tells us that the answer to the question Jay is posing is “no”...

I guess they did not, in fact, make it

Back in March 2024, The Browser Company—a name I still find hilarious, all these years later—published a website called “We Might Not Make It”. They described it as: A limited series that breaks down the top 5 reasons our company might not make it to next year. (And why we ...

On my August challenge

Contrary to what I had planned, I didn’t post weekly updates on my challenge throughout August. No particular reason why, I was just busy doing various other things and posting updates on the hikes was low on my list of priorities. But, I am happy to report that I have succe...

AI this, AI that

If someone manages to create a content blocker for MacOS/iOS that prevents all the content that mentions either AI or vibe coding to reach my screen, I’d buy it in a heartbeat. I am so goddamn tired of reading about AI, GPT models, and people vibe-coding. I get it, it’s fun tech, but it’s exhausting. It’s the crypto/NTF craze on steroids.

Thank you for keeping RSS alive. You're awesome.
