Looking forward to this one
On Oct 14th 1996, Matthias Ettrich, a student in Germany, posted to Usenet asking for help build a real desktop for Linux.

That post led to the creation of KDE, one of the most impactful free software communities in the world.

Catch the trailer for our documentary about KDE on Saturday 19th.

Cueport works as a companion for Serato - adds multi device and collab. Data from Serato is stored inside the mp3 file!

Now built trailmix.tools to analyze files locally without Serato.

A neat project at work: We built an archive for Lapham's Quarterly as part of its (gradual, ongoing) relaunch—full access if you subscribe. It's been nice to see and read it again. Ping if you find bugs. archive.laphamsquarterly.org (they relaunched temporarily at laphamsquarterly.substack.com).

If you are looking for tech alternatives: don't evaluate a system by how it behaves today but by who can change the rules, and what it costs you to leave when they do.

Most movie analysis is about the art of movie making for other movie makers and not enough about what the movie maker was trying to convey through their art. The message gets lost because nobody talks about it

Every object oriented language introduction starts with showing the clean hierarchy of dog and cat inheriting from animal, while every real codebase is like

It's okay to suck at something.

Draw a bad picture.
Write a terrible blog post with typos.
Write some bugs in your code.
Try and use Heelys and fail.

Don’t play in the business of scale, play in the business of quality. Much more fun (and profitable) to be Mercedes than Ford. So sorry, we’ve accidentally created a research lab where you meet your piano teacher and your girlfriend. This is actually a good thing.
