Whether I'll continue to use unmaintained software depends on whether it still works for me (or whether I can fork it and fix issues, but that's not an option for many). Mostly I'll find an alternative, of which there are usually many.
I’ve complained LLMs are bad at SwiftUI, and that’s not entirely accurate.
It has bad default approaches, because it’s all trained stale StackOverflow answers. It can be steered in the right direction if you know what you’re doing, but that’s kind of the problem.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Apple needs to massively improve its documentation and sample code to overcome this. Thousands of sample projects, actively maintained.

Addendum: there’s bad SwiftUI code, ignorant of modern API, bashing HStacks and GeometryReaders together until something works. That needs training to overcome.
Then there’s failures of the framework. Like how you can attach an alert to a button, but not if it’s inside a menu. Or how you can add toolbar items to a bare window on macOS but not on iOS.
Those are failures of “learn once, write everywhere” and Apple needs to be better about them. Too many caveats, too many gotchas.

Byte magazine artist Robert Tinney, who illustrated the birth of PCs, dies at 78
He became one of the first to visualize personal computing by painting vivid cover art.

Why invest energy in D&I work when it's being questioned everywhere?
Because barriers are real. Because Python is global. This is what not giving up looks like.

The original Secure Boot certificates are about to expire, but you probably won’t notice
With the original release of Windows 8, Microsoft also enforced Secure Boot. It's been 15 years since that release, and that means the original 2011 Secure Boot certificates are about to expire. If these certificates are not replaced with new ones, Secu

Looking for testers for a new Mastodon TUI.
tooi is a re-implementation of the TUI included with toot, using a more modern framework which is easier to work with. It supports most features `toot tui` does, and some new ones too.
tooi is set to replace `toot tui` which has proven to be troublesome to support and extend.

If there’s one damn thing terminally online millennials learned it’s that being transgressive about fash shit for the sake of edgy transgression alone is 100% impossible. It provides cover for sincere expression of the sentiment. Don’t joke about eugenics, sincere nazis are paying attention.
요상한 유행, 레트로 디카 붐
아무리 생각해도 요상한 유행이다. 요즘 소위 말하는 '레트로 디카 붐'이 한창이다. 2000~2010년대에 나온 컴팩트 디지털 카메라들이 중고 시장에서 재조명받고 있다. 인스타그램이나 유튜브를 보면 옛날 소니 사이버샷이나 캐논 익서스로 찍은 사진들을 올리는 게 하나의 트렌드가 된 모양이다. "감성적이다", "필름 느낌이 난다"는 반응들과 함께. 나도 2010년대까지는 디카를 꽤 자주 바꿨다. 스마트폰 기변하듯 디카를 기변했고, 그 시절 작성한 리뷰들 덕분에 지금도 내 블로그에 옛날 디카 정보를 찾아오는 방문자들이 종종 있다.

Dit is een interessant overzicht.
Ik denk dat het een mooie 'ranglijst' is mbt de vrijheid bij software.
Toch wil ik hier iets tegenover zetten: je wil als gebruiker van software niet alleen toegang tot een applicatie, maar ook tot een organisatie die het onderhoudt en die duurzaam is.
Daarom zullen we ook moeten werken naar open source die duurzaam wordt beheerd door organisaties. Soms kan dat groen, soms moet dat misschien geel.
Maar belangrijker dan alles is stabiliteit en vertrouwen.

‼️ Merz fordert die völlige Deregulierung der Wirtschaft (der feuchte Traum aller rechtsdrehenden Neoliberalen), der Verkehrsminister treibt sämtliche Fahrschulen in den Ruin und plant lebensgefährliche Reformen beim Führerschein, der Innenminister lebt seinen Hass auf Migrant*innen mit der Streichung von Integrationskursen aus und ruiniert en passant eine ganze Branche.

I parked my car on the street, and we're supposed to pay for the street parking on some website, but the website is returning error code 508.
Do I still pay for parking or not?

Reflect Orbital wants to destroy the night sky to deliver "sunlight as a service". SpaceX wants to destroy Low Earth Orbit to launch one million "AI datacentres"
The only way to formally protest these two ideas is to file a comment with the US FCC, which is horribly complicated, but the American Astronomical Society has detailed instructions posted here: https://aas.org/posts/advocacy/2026/02/how-submit-comments-satellite-applications-fcc
Comments due March 6 for SpaceX and March 9 for Reflect Orbital. Write! Write! Write!
