This cutesy feature popover in Slack is easy to dismiss until you discover that “precise customization" is the ability to disable the fricken’ gradients that make the navigation area such an unreadable mess.

Settings > Themes > Custom Theme > Window gradient — and you have to do it for every Slack you're in because of course you do.

Bought some Italian butter cookies this morning. Asked for an assortment.

Clerk: Any allergies?

Me (being silly): Just cats.

Clerk nods and made a show of putting back one of the cookies.

Another great tool is skhd (<https://github.com/koekeishiya/skhd>), which is a hotkey daemon for Mac. It's especially great for controlling things like yabai. Here's my keybinds for moving focus to different spaces, and also moving applications between spaces.

I upgraded the llm-gpt4all plugin to support running Llama 3 8B Instruct (thanks, Nomic AI):

llm install --upgrade llm-gpt4all  
llm -m Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct 'Write Python code to print 5 great names for a pet pelican'  

The quantized model is a 4.34GB download and should run on machine with 8GB RAM - works great on my M2 MacBook Pro
