After a break from social media I'm back. Same snark, twice the F words. Still loving FOSS, retro tech, and my chickens. Now with a kid in-tow.
I love that every news article about the web right now is “all websites look the same because of AI!” as if humanity haven’t spent the past twenty years using the same bootstrap theme on Wordpress as everyone else.
It drives me absolutely bonkers iDevices don’t natively support ANT.
For the uninitiated, it’s a Bluetooth low energy radio protocol used in a TON of devices- everything from CGM sensors, bike cadence sensors, blood pressure cuffs, scales, and a slew of other devices that shouldn’t need a full fucking app just to “work”. From a privacy standpoint it would be a huge win, as this data could pipe directly into something like Apple Health without the need for yet another app, account, and shit-filled “connectors” to “sync” the data you should already own by default. It would also open up a whole world of possibilities for folks tracking health and workout stats.
Then again, i also believe smart watches should have USB ports and should just store the recorded data in JSON, so maybe I’m a bad person to ask.
A mo(u)rning rescue!
Found in my chicken area… my big rooster was lookin a little too hard at it and it couldn’t fly 😢
Humane Shelter has it, so hopefully they’ll come back when they’re big and strong and say hi!
