Uses iPhone 5S
I've recently switched my Nexus 5 for an older iPhone 5S which fits in my pockets; I don't think I will ever upgrade.

Uses Slack
I internet in Chrome, email in Inbox, slideaphone in Keynote, work-chat in Slack, friend-chat on Hangouts/Adium, tweet about squirrels in Tweetbot, and verb all the things in real life.

Uses oh-my-zsh
I use oh-my-zsh, with a deadly cute prompt and an obnoxious set of aliases.

Loved Mextures
I am obsessed with Mextures, which is the only real reason I'm using an iPhone.
usesthis.com 22 Sept 2015
Loved Alfred

Uses Atom
I write code in Atom, not because I have an opinion on editors, but because it's built on Chromium and at the time I thought writing Chromium code on something built on Chromium was cute (spoilers: it is).
usesthis.com 22 Sept 2015
Disliked Kindle
I tend to carry a book with me everywhere I go, so I was recently lent a Kindle to help with that. I don't like it but I begrudgingly use it when travelling.
usesthis.com 22 Sept 2015
Loved Fujifilm X100S
I take photos with a Fujifilm X100S, and I find the challenge of only using one lens comforting.
usesthis.com 22 Sept 2015
Loved Withings Activité Pop
I wear a Withings Activité Pop, because I am obsessed with counting steps and smart watches that actually look like watches.
usesthis.com 22 Sept 2015
Uses Evoluent Vertical mouse
I use an Evoluent VerticalMouse and the emoji keyboard, because why not.

- Hi! I made a Chrome extension that highlights creeps from the Epstein emails. Depending on how much news you read on your computer, enabling it might be really depressing. 21 Feb 2026
- This is the kind of blogpost I wish would have written, so have one from @RGadellaa instead. A detailed history of Safari’s web shenanigans that make the web worse for all of us. 24 Sept 2024 webventures.rejh.nl
- If you care at all about web apps or the future of web technology on Apple mobile devices, you might want to read and sign this. They’re currently demoting installable apps to mere links in the next version, and imo that’s Really Bad™️ 28 Feb 2024 letter.open-web-advocacy.org

- Man, America picked the worst outlet shapes. 80% of my power bricks wiggle out of the wall if someone sneezes nearby. Those beefy UK ones would never. 12 Apr 2023
- This sounds like a dream job! 10 Apr 2023
- I think the thing that shocks/scares me the most isn’t that there’s white supremacists amongst my peers, it’s that they’ve become so comfortable with it that they’re ok suggesting lynching in a public forum, for the world to see. This is the worst fucking timeline. 10 Apr 2023
- This looks pretty cool, and can lead to actual useful tools for artists, like: segment this image, now replace *this* knife block with a salt shaker and swap it with the lemons for a better composition 5 Apr 2023
- A step in the right direction! I’d love to see if it leans more towards realism or creativity 21 Mar 2023
- Holy fucking shit, this wasn’t actually on my bingo card for “ways we’re gonna kill women after we let Roe v Wade slide” 14 Mar 2023

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
