til the printscreen function in #Ubuntu saves the screenshot to ~/Pictures/Screenshots as well as letting you copy to the clipboard (I just deleted about 8,000 saved screenshots!) (then I rebound printscreen to Flameshot)

Creator of Claude Code at Anthropic.
Projects have changed not only how I interact with Claude but how I code. I stopped managing sessions. I just send thoughts as they come, Claude splits them into threads, and the project remembers how I work. It's where I do a ton of my coding now. [screenshot: my actual prompts for claude code cli yesterday] Quoting @ClaudeDevs Today we're rolling out Projects in Claude Code on desktop and web. A project is one conversation with Claude. It splits the work into threads itself, runs them as parallel cloud sessions, passes context between them, and keeps going when you leave. In beta for select users. Anthropic Related

Sociologist at Duke University writing on markets, exchange and moral order, and on plain-text and data-visualisation tools for social science.
On Golden Gate, you can chat to the built-in foundation model directly with `fm chat`. You can also do things like pipeline it into scripts. E.g., in the second screenshot here it's reading and summarizing a @sixcolors article. The model's context window is quite small, so I had to write a script that chunked the text, so it's sort of serially summarized. Still, it’s nice to have fully-local access to this model in this way. Related
Web standards author and speaker; wrote the CSS: The Definitive Guide series and co-founded the An Event Apart conference.
I just deleted a post I made yesterday, because it led some people to reasonably read things into it that I didn’t intend. That’s on me, as I wrote it badly and without considering contexts beyond what I was thinking at the time. My apologies to anyone who read it and was disheartened or upset; I’m happy to discuss further in DMs with those who saw it and would like clarification on what I meant. Related

op deleted his tweet (thanks I guess) but I get a ton of questions about why I sometimes limit replies, and if you’d like to know the answer you can look below. Quoting @deanwball @sponkostonko I limit my replies when it occurs to me to do so to make it slightly harder for people to threaten me and my family with violence, which happens frequently in my life now. It still happens, but at least with replies limited my wife is less likely to see it. Related

Screenshot diffing, feedback inboxes, PWAs, and of course local-first sync layer with self-hosted backend. Matches up pretty well with my approach on personal apps thus far into the LLM coding age. Curious to hear from others. Quoting @flourish.org I vibe coded three personal apps that I'd wanted for a while. They work on mobile and web, sync offline first between them, and are polished. This write up describes why, how, and what I learnt. www.flourish.org/2026/08/pers... LLMs Related

Friday afternoon reminder to not empty your inbox at the expense of someone else's. I'll be headed down to Massachusetts to spend some time with my sister next week and I've already got my clipboard out and am making lists. Maybe I'll catch Super Troopers 3 at the local movie house. Either way, my mind is nowhere near my email. Fortunately it does not have to be. Image credit: Randolph Historical Society, on Flickr Commons flickr.com

What do you think of moving the add/dictate buttons down to the bottom like this for better reachability? Lots of people have requested it. My only hesitation is that the accent color looks pretty bold down there. But other designs — translucent bars behind, white buttons, etc. — all look significantly worse or more jumbled. In use on a real device, I think it looks less in-your-face than it does on a screenshot on a Mac. Related

Shottr makes manipulating screenshots a lot easier and nicer than the default screenshot functionality provided by macOS. My favorite feature from it is the ability to easily blur out text in my screenshots.

Their words
my criticism of MoltBook is that I believe a lot of the stuff that was screenshotted is human prompted. Which, just look at the incentive of how the whole thing was used. It’s obvious to me at least that a lot of it was humans prompting the thing so they can then screenshot it and post it on X in order to go viral.

Their words
So as opposed to going against I guess human intuition and trying to get them to share stuff that they otherwise wouldn't on the margins want to share like lean into it more actually like grab the moments where users are already organically screenshotting and make those much much much better and you can kind of 5x or 10x and and drive a lot of growth that way too.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

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.
