Really surprised NetNewsWire did not make this list. Free as in beer and FOSS, and it’s been around for ages

I’m in the minority I suppose but I really love stories on Signal. I have a lot of friends/family on there and it’s a good way to keep in touch without having to force a notification or expect a response on their end. Maybe it’s a cultural thing too
I just had to look it up. It’s somehow the first time I’ve seen this style of memes and it’s cute af
Obsidian Widgets on iOS
Here’s a set of shortcuts and widgets based on Obsidian that create a functional, dynamic, data-driven homescreen for iPhone and iPad.
Was looking into a way to create a widget on iOS showing my task list on Obsidian, and stumbled across this very helpful guide which worked really well for me.
It requires a $5 app, but honestly really worth it because it’s so versatile. Thought it was cool and figured I should share
Not sure if you run this site, but it looks like mastodon.world has gone public and said that they will not be preemptively defederating Threads just fyi
Never ordered from flashquark myself, but I have seen in the past that they are legit. I’ve gotten good quality PBT keycaps from Kinetic Labs with really good success. Drop have been fine for me as well.
Maybe Mad God (2021)?

I got a chess set
This set is not the cheapest wooden set you can get but I got it because I wanted wood (moisture absorbing) and wanted a set that still feels valuable. A numbers chess board that was all pawns was a plus.
Overall I like the set, most astonishing is that I can en passant on every move now, of course it’s not the traditional experience of a chess cassette but it feels and sounds right.
Today's Atari could hardly have less to do with the one that released the VCS.

> > The company that currently owns the Atari name and trademarks has decided to give owners of the old Atari Video Computer System (aka the Atari 2600) something new to do. Mr. Run and Jump is a new Atari-published platformer that is coming to vintage Atari consoles in cartridge form, complete with a box and instruction manual. Preorders for the cartridge begin on July 31 for $59.99. > > of note on why the headline specifies "A company called Atari", for the unfamiliar. it's both a bit of snark but also an actual thing because Atari's history is not unlike the Ship of Theseus: > > > [...]Today's Atari has absolutely nothing to do with the company that launched the Atari VCS in 1977, and the brand's history and ownership defies an easy summary. After the video game crash in 1983, the old Atari was split into two divisions by parent company Warner Communications and sold. Atari Games continued the arcade business, and Atari Corporation controlled home console releases. Atari Corporation took a few unsuccessful stabs at the console market in the late '80s and early '90s with consoles like the Jaguar and the Lynx. It ultimately merged with a now-defunct manufacturer of unreliable hard drives in 1996 before being sold to Hasbro Interactive in 1998. Hasbro was bought by Infogrames Entertainment in 2001, which dropped the "Infogrames" name in favor of "Atari" in 2009. That company's US operations, already many degrees removed from the original Atari, filed for bankruptcy in 2013. The company that emerged is the one that's still operating as "Atari" today, and it's linked to the old company by its name and its trademarks and not much else.
