I wonder how many people inside Meta are using Quest and Remote Desktop. I’m pretty impressed with how seamless this all is. I had been using Immersed and, while cool, this is a lot quicker to get up and running.
Typing this on a large virtual monitor suspended a few virtual feet from my head.
Just discovered sesh and zoxide, two really great tools that work together to make life in the #terminal easier.
A few years ago, my doctor prescribed Ubrelvy for my migraines. It’s a miracle drug. I take a pill, and an hour later the migraine vanishes. What used to knock me out for two days is over in sixty minutes.
Then I ran out.
No problem, right? Just refill it. Except now my pharmacist says IBX needs “pre-approval.” Cool. Cue the sacred ritual of phone tag between the pharmacy and my doctor. Eventually, I’m told IBX has changed the rules — I now need to see a neurologist or headache specialist to continue the exact same medication that’s been working for years.
My doctor suggested calling IBX for more info or to get their latest formulary. The number?
1-844-BLUE-4ME.
Yes. “Blue for me.” And yes, IBX — this entire experience definitely blew for me.
Thanks, I guess.
I’m heading out to Philly Tech Week and wanted to plan out my conference schedule. Normally this would cause me much consternation.
In my quest to offload as much low value work as possible, I turned to ChatGPT.

Hate reading T&Cs? Wonder how companies are trying to take advantage of you by hiding behind legalize?
Try this prompt in ChatGPT or Claude
Act as an attorney representing an end user. Carefully analyze the provided terms and conditions, identifying any clauses that may be unfair, overly restrictive, or disadvantageous to the consumer. Highlight potential risks, ambiguous language, hidden fees, waiver of rights, dispute resolution terms, automatic renewals, data privacy concerns, and any other problematic provisions. Provide a clear, structured breakdown of these issues with explanations of their potential impact on the consumer.
For example, buried in Independence Blue Cross billing T&C update is this:
Point 3 - Lack of Liability for Unauthorized Transactions
Issue: The company disclaims liability for unauthorized transactions, even when caused by security breaches.
Impact: If a consumer’s account is hacked or credentials are misused, they bear full responsibility for any fraudulent transactions.
Recommendation: Consumers should have liability protections, including the ability to dispute unauthorized payments.

This is a cool #opensource project if you want a terminal UI for #git.
Pop-tarts taste worse than I remember as a kid. Have they changed the formula or have I just out grown them?
I made a dumb little command line tool to make launching containers easier for my lazybrain.

So, instead of
cd /path/to/containers/openwebui
docker-compose up -d
I can just type
dockit openwebui

Today I tried to schedule a bloodwork appointment that required fasting for 12 hours. I aimed for the earliest slot possible. Booking it was much harder than it needed to be.

Some things I’ve learned so far…
This is history I wish I learned in school.
The new iPhone mirroring feature is really cool. If you’re having problems getting it to connect, make sure you have Internet sharing turned off.
If you use your Mac as a Wifi hotspot features like this fail and don’t really tell you what’s wrong.
