GrandPerspective

grandperspectiv.sourceforge.net

GrandPerspective is a small utility application for macOS that graphically shows the disk usage within a file system. It can help you to manage your disk, as you can easily spot which files and folders take up the most space. It uses a so called tree map for visualisation. Each file is shown as a rectangle with an area proportional to the file's size. Files in the same folder appear together, but their placement is otherwise arbitrary.

#MinimalPhone arrived today. I'll be keeping notes on it here.

micro.glasshoundcomputing.com/@jeremiah/statuses/01JQYJZ4C5C34JTZVQ09ZPVYED

I do love this thing. I've got an in progress application that collates news I would like to read into an epub. Putting that file on the Minimal Phone gives me koreader as my 'fidget' app. Instead of getting lured into an infinite scroll app, I just read some news I curated for myself. Hoping this drives my overall phone usage down.

Disdain for Profanity is a Luxury Belief

starbreaker.org/blog/disdain-profanity-luxury-belief/index.html

Matthew comments on an article that profanity is to be avoided. He thinks that it's not up to the article author to decide and that he will swear as before. I'll continue this thread and reply here.

I don't swear in Russian, like, at all. People usually don't notice this, but when they do, they are so surprised. Swearing is a norm with Russian youth, and I don't accept that. The only problem with not swearing is the discomfort when I want to quote somebody who said something I wouldn't say; I haven't found a solution yet. Some people find joy in trying to persuade me to say something “bad”.

I'm more tolerant in that regard in English, though. Perhaps it's because it's not my native language. I don't swear much though. You'd have to invest a lot of time to find an English text of mine where I said something profane. I myself wouldn't even bother.

P. S. Definitions of “profanity” vary. I have my own.

vertigo

flak.tedunangst.com/post/vertigo

Tedu wrote a terminal and an article about it. Also links two other articles of his on the topic, which I also betulized. Writing your own terminal sounds fun!

UPD: there was a third other article released later, which I didn't particularly like.

Is the madness ever going to end?

unixsheikh.com/articles/is-the-madness-ever-going-to-end.html

Electron and React Native Desktop are supposed to be a revolutionary new way of making desktop applications. Except they are not, and they eat up all the memory you have and still ask for more. They constantly crash and have no value over a native desktop application what so ever - well, perhaps with the only exception that now a 2 year old baby can make something shiny that you can click on with your mouse.
