Amazing work! I've been actually working on a solar system / gravity sim for my son who has been getting a lot of enjoyment out of the PhET gravity/orbit sims, that has some overlap with your project. It's up at https:&

I'm still very happily using Claude Code + Opus 4.5, and am distressed by the idea of losing access to that specific model in a few months. In my experience, 4.5 is very much worth $100/month, whereas 4.6 is basically worthless. I

Maybe it’s just me, but I have serious issue with Fastmail’s spam filtering. Meaning, it seems that I am the spam filter. I find myself considering closing the account on a regular basis because of it. I am also extremely frustrated with Gm

Not the parent but my family also has a mac mini to offline TV setup - just a small bluetooth keyboard/mouse and the tv remote for volume. Works well. As far as I know there are no remotes that work with MacOS.

My hope is this will lead to the reversal of the insane "HDR auto-brightness" behavior that causes any photo marked as HDR to go extreme brightness mode while the rest of the screen darkens: https://discussions.apple.co

It does not support Vultr currently, but it likely wouldn't be difficult to add. There's an open issue for it: https://github.com/andrewchilds/overcast/issues/58

The point was that we should have some kind of social contract that pushes back against the worst known addictive product choices, and to create public awareness about them. Mobile Safari has some limited functionality built-in like "H

Totally agree. There should be a digital consumer bill of rights, that includes the right to disable autoplaying videos. Even the NYTimes home page is plastered with them these days, it’s awful. Another one is control over sort order, havin
