The day is already winding down, punting the release until tomorrow morning. Still have a couple housekeeping things to do. Writing release notes, blog posts, and maybe a new companion M.b plug-in. I’ve also extended the Micropub API and want to make sure that everything is properly documented.

Whenever I ship a new feature, I get the inevitable “why didn’t you add that other thing instead / fix that old problem first” question. It’s fair, but the truth is I’m constantly making minor improvements. Every day. A good product needs both bug fixes and new things to live.

Trying Sora. It’s extraordinary that this works at all, and it’s even faster than I was expecting. OpenAI seems to have built a whole UI system around this app too.

I'll keep my Tesla, thank you

I saw a pundit suggest people harass people who drive Teslas.

When I bought mine, it cost $70K, a large sum of money that I will not throw away just so a pundit can make a point.

Here's my rebuttal. I'd like to see you get on without buying Exxon products. We all agree they suck, but evil companies have a way of building dependence, that's how the stay in business while openly doing despicable things.

When I put down $70K for what is, btw, a fantastic car, no one knew how evil Elon Musk was going to turn out to be, how little he would care what you and I think.

And I don't believe anyone can live a pure life and extract all evil from it, and still participate in civilization.

PS: I wrote this initially as a post on Bluesky.

BTW, I hear that Safari now defaults to using HTTPS. Not sure exactly what that means. But if they ever actually stop showing scripting.com, which will always be plain old HTTP, I'll probably ship an Electron product that browse the web, and doesn't care if it's HTTP or whatever new fad Google is promoting these days. I'm going to hold down the fort for the original web, I can't change scripting.com to HTTPS, it would break all the images and probably a lot of other stuff. I fight linkrot, don't bring it on, and fuck Google for thinking they own the freaking web. I use their products, just like I drive a Tesla. Can't help it.
