Goose created a directory called `--help`. I thought wtf, so I ran `rm -rf --help`. It said "Usage: rm [OPTION]... [FILE]..."
Okay... `rm -rf "--help"`. "Usage: rm [OPTION]... [FILE]..."
`rm -rf "--help/"`. "Usage: rm [OPTION]... [FILE]..."
Then I opened the file browser and deleted it.

Esteemed users of Ditto,
Perchance thou hast observed that the noble domain ditto.pub hath ceased to function earlier this day. Alas, the cause is no small matter: some laborers, whilst delving in the earth, did by misfortune sever the fiber’d cord that beareth our connection to the vast web of knowledge.
Until such time as this delicate strand is mended by skilled hands, thou may yet encounter wayward winds and tempests upon the network. We beseech thy patience and understanding as we strive to restore full harmony to the realm of Ditto.

This is a leaderboard of the most popular Nostr clients today (with about 1 hour of data from when I started tracking it).
This relies on a "client" tag being attached to events. If your client doesn't add a client tag, you're not in the races.

LLM capability test with Goose + Claude.
I created two Markdown docs, woozle.md and fuzzle.md. I hosted them on a public URL.
woozle.md contains a link to fuzzle.md inside the document.
I asked it to implement the Fuzzle variant of Woozle, but I gave it only the link to the Woozle document.
It followed the link and successfully implemented it.

In the first world, it's easy to overlook how valuable money actually is. That 1st edition Charizard can feed a family of 4. The bills add up. $55/mo for cellphone service doesn't seem so bad to us (Americans), because mobile internet is essential to life. But it's actually an absurd fee with way better alternatives. There are plenty of examples. People spend so much on subscriptions. $10 here, $10 there. It's easy to justify each one by itself, but it adds up. Not only does it slowly kill you, it's wasted potential. It's less invested in people.
After seeing the true potential of small amounts of money, it has recontextualized how I view all purchases. I've started to adopt a much more disciplined mindset about money, similar to how I view veganism.

React Native has created a problem where, by bridging the gap between 3 major platforms, it has created a new gap between React Native and vanilla React. Component libraries must support either React Native or React, or jump through a bunch of hoops to support both. So now that React Native has "unified" the platforms, we need another layer to unify React itself so code can work for both React and React Native.
