  "textContent": "Web excursions brought to you in partnership with Setapp. Get access to hundreds of Mac and iOS apps for one low monthly subscription fee.\n\nThe worst decline of democracy ever recorded could have been far worse.\n\n\n> The institutions that were supposed to be the brakes either surrendered or stumbled over each other. The people put themselves in the gears.\n\n\n\nI don’t make this blog very political, which is odd given how political I am in my personal life. But this shouldn’t be a partisan post. This is about all of us.\n\nOpen Source Gave Me Everything Until I Had Nothing Left to Give - Kenneth Reitz\n    Not a perfect parallel to my own experience (I’ve never had a top open source project or gotten into keynoting) but this rings very familiar to me. My acclaimed “productivity” has been the result of some very trying bipolar episodes that plagued me for years, leading to burnout.\ndoing in Rust\n    A full port of my Ruby project, Doing, to Rust. Coming along nicely.\n\n\n> A command line tool for remembering what you were doing and tracking what you’ve done — stored as plain text, versioned with your project.\n\nSteno — Your keyboard slows you down.\n\n\n> Steno is a native macOS voice-to-text app. Hold a key, speak, release — text appears instantly in any app. Sub-second transcription, voice commands, text snippets, and dictation history. Built with Swift for speed and accuracy.\n\n\n\nImpressive AI-driven dictation with great privacy features and local-only mode (Apple Intelligence).\n\nAutomating iOS Shortcuts - The Cron Job Way\n\n\n> Today’s unnecessary and over-engineered thing is automating iOS (and macOS) Shortcuts using the same syntax that’s used to schedule cron jobs.\n\nCheck out Setapp today and get access to the best Mac and iOS apps out there.\n\nLike or share this post on Mastodon, Bluesky, or Twitter.\n\n* * *\n\nBrettTerpstra.com is supported by readers like you.
