One for Mac users and Spotify, Since moving away from RayCast I've really missed the Spotify plugin and the quick access it gave me to like tracks...how are other liking tracks?
I'm just missing some quick actions and think I might have to build my own little script with a…

Okay I think I have my full setup for AI dev and no amp code needed! Fully setup @herdrdev GUI on my Mac Mini with Tailscale, and just setup https://github.com/devswha/ovis thanks to @nhitze for the recommendation!
So now my OpenCode, Codex sessions will see no down time,…

Doing the little PR for the /dev/null mobile app has really sparked my interest in @NativePHP even more than I already had, it was a dream to work with and just felt so familiar!
I just need an idea to make into an Desktop/Mobile app!
Well this is a thing of beauty! Just a shame openlogi doesn’t seem to support it fully yet.
Well that's it! It's official /dev/null a dangerous place...I came on this morning bright eyed, and completely oblivious about this product!
Not 3 mins later....THIS....I hope you are happy!!! 😅 But seriously thanks for bringing it to my attention this looks awesome!

Well after a pretty full on end to the week I pretty much tried to stay offline over the weekend, but alas Monday has rolled around again!
How are we all this week? Whats the plan for hitting this week like a steam train traveling at a million miles per hour?

I fell like I'm only ever asking questions here :P
But what do nullers do for healthy habits whilst at a desk....how are we making sure we are drinking enough water and moving more frequently?
I'm very terrible at this, it's a coffee and sedate lifestyle for me apart from a…
Keeping a smaller 400ml glass on my desk instead of a giant bottle is the only trick that works for me since it forces me to stand up and walk to the kitchen every hour to refill it.
I work at home and I split my chores through the day. I do various minor kitchen and yard tasks at different times of the day, forcing myself to go outside, or at minimum stand at the sink and do dishes. Interleaving everything seems to work.
I also play guitar at my desk…

How are we all doing today?! What has the wonderful world that is /dev/null been working on whilst I sleep.

Okay so this might get out of control, I've now hooked up AI to the citizens they have basic though and can have wants and desires build what ever they are able to, but also request features to be built they can't....Already had my first new feature request...
This was suppose…
Been playing around more with the LifeOs dashboard, I had to remvoe the pixel font was making very hard to read..but I think it's coming along nicely!
I now have:
- a Colony builder game based out my data
- RSS reader
- Journey planner with TomTom traffic monitoring
- KOReader…
Loving these Related Commits on /dev/null they are actually useful not like other social media where it's so vaguely relevant!
I wrote this today and the feature did not fail me - it surfaced your commit saying the same thing! 😁

What are the nullers using for subscriptions on the open weights? I'm trying command code but would like to try others to explore, I've tried OpenCode Go with good success, but who else is out there?

Oh well this was the first year, I've experienced the dreaded Day lights savings as a new-ish parent...WOW, 3am wake up...Just what the doctor ordered for a day of dealing with yet more CVE!!!

In the world of AI design, how are backend developers with no frontend/design knowledge making designs what don't feel AI?! Asking for a friend .... that friend is trying to become more self sufficient and not make slop (Human or AI).
Feed it inspiration or references you like.
It can't work off of statements like, "Design me a modern portfolio site using swiss minimal design". It's too wishy-washy. That will just look AI generated.
It also likes a design system that you can then ask it to make features…
One thing you can do is ask an agent to imitate something else, a classic design pattern, a hand drawing you just made, a radio from the 1950s, or anything else. You can suggest it as vague inspiration, or insist that it be copied down to the pixel.
You still have to know what…

I'm probs being a silly billy here, but is there any push notifications for /dev/null ? Or is it meant to be without them?
So after the last few days of...er...shall we say "FUN" !? How's everyone's Friday looking? Myself? I think I'm going to treat myself to a bug or two! and I'm not joking I'm really looking forward to working on some bugs after this week 😅
I used the cloudflare/security-audit-skill to find some security issues i'm currently happily working on!
first gym, then some client work, touching grass and later do some fun work like testing out new tools and libraries 🤩

Whilst waiting for something to be built on the LifeOs, I had a bit of time to work on https://github.com/mdeloughry/i-have-dyslexia . After suffering more than I'd like to share on writing a piece of documentation, I wanted to add to the skill to help users build documents…

I don't have dyslexia, but this looks amazing. Going to give it a shot. Thanks!
Started working on my LifeOs tonight...can you mix AmigaOS with Neo Brutalism? I'm going to try
