After the rush to ship the first RetroC64 release, I'm now in that "post-project haze" where I'm not quite sure what I want to dive into next. I have a few options in mind, but nothing feels obvious yet. And honestly, there's always a bit of a downtime after a big push

That's fine, I'm not in a hurry. I like wandering between ideas, even if it does make my brain itch a bit 😅

Maybe I should just take a break and watch a few series, like I usually do in these in-between moments 🍿

Let's see... 👀

On my quest for a good Core Data + Cloud sync replacement, I came across github.com/pointfreeco/sqlite-. Doubts remain though. It's heavily block-based and does not use actors, which I would like to have. Also relying on a third party for the most important thing in my app... Ugh. Why is this so hard.

World's smallest violin needed, again:

"OpenAI Loses Key Discovery Battle as It Cedes Ground to Authors in AI Lawsuits" —if found guilty of 'wilful" infringement OpenAI could be on the hook for up to $150,000 per work. (And circumstances don't look great for them—they appear to have destroyed lists of the copyrighted works they'd trained GPT on.)

Just finished "Enshittification" by @pluralisticCory Doctorow, and despite it not telling me anything new, as I've been following him and this subject for a while, seeing all the case studies, the analysis, and Cory's proposed cure in a succinct, eloquent, and well argued overview was enraging, cathartic, and still hopeful.

I would definitely recommend it to most people, but especially to people who are not as familiar with all the tech nonsense as I am. I have the feeling I will be lending my copy to people regularly.

Oh, and the plug for the fediverse was nice to see.

today's experiment: Coconut curry pumpkin pie

This savory pumpkin custard pie filling also has sauteed onion, cabbage, garlic, ginger, turmeric & sweet peppers.

The custard is unsweetened and replaces the dairy cream with coconut cream and has soy sauce & thai green chili paste added.

This is a totally new recipe I "invented", though we've made other savory "thai curry" pies in the past.

Are you making a new or unusual dish today? I'd love to hear about it.

A baked savory pumpkin pie (with lopsided homemade crust) sits on top of the gas range of a kitchen. Some small pieces of vegetable can be seen protruding from the custard filling.

So you plan to thaw out your 20 kg solid block of frozen tofurkey in the microwave for 1 minute and 10 seconds.

Which button presses are most optimal?

Happy Thanksgiving. A reminder that despite how difficult things may seem, your worst day this year is better than the best day of millions of people across the country and the world. Be thankful and remember that whatever challenges you face, this too will pass.

I hope you have a wonderful day with your friends and family.

It's difficult for me to think of a more badass woman than Sigourney Weaver as Ripley -- all the men follow her naturally because she's an incredible leader. "I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit... it's the only way to be sure." youtube.com/watch?v=B9aM4rH692M
