After using the $200 and $100 Anthropic monthly plans for Claude, I have now settled on $20 Anthropic + $20 OpenAI + $10 OpenCode Go monthly plans for coding and design work. I also use local AI occasionally for non-coding-related tasks. By using multiple entry-level AI plans from different providers, I can assign different tasks to different models based on their strengths and also hedge against service disruption by not relying on a single provider.
Discover and invoke UI elements near your cursor, without precise mouse targeting. A Logi Actions SDK plugin for MX Creative Console and Actions Ring. Buttons, checkboxes, menus, tabs, dropdowns: tap to interact with whatever is nearby. The problem with precise clicking Every toolbar button, checkbox, and menu item demands pixel-perfect mouse aim. For everyone, it is slow. For people living with conditions that affect motor function, such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's, essential tremor, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, ALS, repetitive strain injury, spinal injury, arthritis etc. precise mouse targeting can range from difficult to impossible.
I wanted to add some frills in Memory Hammer app1 when the user completes review of their flashcards. I decided to add a simple 2D animation where a brain is sulking and after being hit by the hammer (memory hammer's mascot) the brain becomes happy and jubilant. I made a simple animation with Lottie first, When I imported the .lottie file for the animation into my flutter app, I noticed that it's skipping frames. There's no official Lottie library for flutter, I saw someone else facing the same issue2 with the 3rd party Lottie library.
After yet another Mastodon drama1 and tired of migrating from one Mastodon instance to another I have decided to self-host a Mastodon instance. But Mastodon is an overkill for a single user instance, Luckily GoToSocial2 an ActivityPub social network server written in Go serves my needs perfectly. I deployed GoToSocial on Railway, The developer of GoToSocial patiently helped me to fix few quirks with my deployment. Thanks to the federated nature of ActivityPub protocol, I was able to migrate my existing Fosstodon account to my new GoToSocial account3.

The Sting belongs in the pantheon of films I'm deeply embarrassed to have not watched earlier. Not just because it's a great film — and it is — but because it is so incredibly my shit that I feel retroactively spurned for not having watched it sooner.
If everything worked as well as the product called Evapo-Rust, the world would be a much better place. That’s just one of the many lessons learned during my recent — successful! — project to transform my old, nonfunctioning gasoline-powered generator into something much better.
When I created OpenDithering back in June, the feature I was proudest of was the Auto-tune button. It did the slider work for me: it compared the dithered result to the original image, nudged the settings, and repeated until the image stopped improving. Over the summer it grew into a three-step process (Auto Expose, Color-tune, […] The post I deleted my favorite feature, and the image got better: Direct Binary Search (DBS) in OpenDithering appeared first on Style over Substance.
Welcome back to yet another episode of "security was taken seriously". Being who we are (and constantly being exposed to what we see…), we recognize we have been doomed to eternal damnation as we keep on watching security best practices crumble behind “secure by design”
