@thedaintylinks.com on Instagram - my girlfriend's cute budget jewelry store

Hayden Shuker - one of my good friends from high school. Got some fun blog posts.

Hidden Grove by Ryan Fleury - a blog with lots of low-level programming (C language) insights that I have found really intriguing. He has a GUI tutorial that I haven't read yet. I didn't really know about it until I retired my GUI library project.

@Livakivi on YouTube - talks about his journey learning Japanese in an entertaining way and other interesting, imo niche topics. He has extreme dedication to everything he does, it seems.

Polygloss Blog - Polygloss is, imo, the best language learning app for output available right now. The creator also has a lot of interesting things to say on their blog. Unfortunately, my language learning app will beat them - one day 😔.

Duolingo Blog - While I don't like Duolingo, I like to keep up by reading their blog. Every once in a while,

Drew DeVault's Blog - by the CEO of SourceHut and original developer of sway. Everyone involved in Free Software should read his post explaining, indisputably, Richard Stallman openly supporting pedophilia.

@BakerEDMLab on 𝕏 - Professor Ryan Baker's lab from my university, the University of Pennsylvania, in the field of (mostly language) Learning Analytics. They publish interesting papers about language learning.

I am currently dumbfounded because for the past ~2.5 months (2024-02-28 at the time of writing), I have heard, read, and said “Learning Analytics” instead of “Language Analytics”, but “Learning Analytics” sounds even cooler! I never understood what “Language Analytics” meant, and now I know why 😭. I exchanged emails with him, had a meeting with him, had dinner with him (and other professors, including his wife, and other students), discussed his work with others and still thought this. I must be dyslexic or something.

Language Log - a collaborative blog by some of the coolest linguistics professors at the University of Pennsylvania.

Asahi Linux Blog - one of the coolest things happening in the free software space right now. An interesting blog to read if you're interested in how one could possibly get Linux working with GPU hardware acceleration on the new ARM Macs.

Lex Fridman podcast - while I, personally, find Lex a little dry, I find a decent proportion of the people he interviews to be very interesting. I appreciate how Lex has people on that I, and I imagine usually he agrees, are at least a little crazy and don't share much common ground with. It's always good to understand the perspective of someone whose perspective you would want to change, so it's good preparation for an argument (though, nowadays, I don't get involved in many arguments - really just the idea makes it more fun for me). When it gets completely unhinged, I also find that weirdly fascinating.

"Louis Rossmann" on YouTube - arguably the biggest advocate for the right to repair (mostly small electronics) and has been dabbling in free-ish software at his relatively new role at FUTO.

Tucker Carlson's Interview with Putin (2024-02-06) - I don't know much about Tucker Carlson, Putin, Ukraine, Russia, etc., but it seems to me as something one should watch if they want to have a credible perspective on the geopolitics surrounding the relationships between the US, Ukraine, and Russia.

@ZachStarHimself on YouTube - Math guy turned funny guy. Makes some funny videos (not shorts!). Often political themes but not political if that makes any sense.
