And if the bad things happen, just mosey on down to your private island or doomsday bunker.
pupppet··on A tribute to one of the best games on the Atari 2600
As a kid I found the gameplay for most Atari 2600 games so shallow I could barely stand to play a game more than a few minutes… except for Combat. Man with two players, that was fun.

Yahoo never should have given up their human-curated index, we need it now more than ever.
pupppet··on Canada fast-tracks Pacific oil pipeline to reduce US dependence

Have fun cleaning Cornucopia.
pupppet··on Apple's Siri AI Can Be Swapped Out for Claude, ChatGPT, Code Shows
Isn't Siri just a bunch of devs in a room editing conditional statements? They'd have to throw out the ecosystem once they embraced a real AI.
pupppet··on iPhone Duo
Don’t forget about how they desperately try to figure out what to do with their hands.
pupppet··on Finder is so frustrating and has been since day one
To Apple, files are an unsightly thing they need to sweep under the carpet, if you have to interact with files they probably believe they’ve done something wrong.

Look at Apple Mail, they used to bury attachments behind a button and even now they just drop them at the end of the email.

pupppet··on Which tools do Claude, Codex and Cursor choose? We measured 17k runs to find out

pupppet··on Dyson CameraJet electric toothbrush
They gave it the same design language as their vacuums, and honestly I don't think they want people making that association. It's kinda ick.
pupppet··on Google Maps Renames Lake Ontario to Lake America
No, they're taking the heat because they VERY selectively acted on this as quickly as possible while other issues they are more than happy to sit on. Don't confuse this for anything other than kissing the ring.
pupppet··on Google: Lake Ontario/Lake America name change in the U.S. will appear in Maps
Google can take months or YEARS to make updates but this one it makes almost immediately? Don't confuse this for anything but kissing the ring.
pupppet··on P99 0 ms* autocomplete for 240M domain names
Autocomplete aside, this is a pretty nifty tool.
pupppet··on Google: Lake Ontario/Lake America name change in the U.S. will appear in Maps
They're not going to change a damn thing. I saw an interview with Newsom who was asked exactly that and he dodged answering.
pupppet··on You've heard of CSV files, but have you heard of CCSV files?
Why was a comma originally chosen over, I dunno, say a pipe character?
pupppet··on Super Curry Combat II Turbo – Legend Edition
It IS frustrating. Hey Google lurkers, throw us a bone here.
pupppet··on Wiped out: US faces surging toilet paper prices amid trade war with Canada
Don't need a heated bidet. We get -40C days here and I'll still take the ice-laser to the behind over TP.
pupppet··on Quick impressions: A week of using Codex more than Claude
I find Claude more often gets my intent without having to spell things out for it, while Codex gets hung up on minor details and over-engineers a solution for them.
pupppet··on AI is a bubble, just like dot-com
Everyone got lazy in a big hurry.
pupppet··on SwiftUI After 7 Years
If you’re just getting AI to build you an iOS app, is there any reason to use SwiftUI over UIKit?
pupppet··on I don't recommend Tailwind CSS
And did you remember to include the exact same Tailwind classes with every instance of your button in your project?
pupppet··on SpaceX Starship Flight 13 livestream [video]
Just watching the live-stream, does SpaceX only hire young guys in their 20's?
pupppet··on Be skeptical of OpenAI's rogue hacker agent story
With all of these AI provider cries wolf stories, Skynet is all but assured.
pupppet··on Safari Technology Preview 248 Released
I hate this default behavior on the green button. I can count the number of times I've intentionally wanted a full-screen app on one hand.
pupppet··on Airbus Takes Flight from AWS
The tech bros lining up at Donald’s inauguration to kiss his ring suggests otherwise.
pupppet··on Stop saying that AI is just a tool and it only matters how it is used
If a gun is just a tool, is an atom bomb just a tool?
pupppet··on US Debt Clock Live
Does anyone look at this debt and believe it will ever get paid off? It seems more realistic that everyone's waiting for some doomsday WW3 scenario where we just say ehh let's reset everyone back to zero.
pupppet··on I'm a USB-C Maximalist
Another vote for the Sonicare.
