wandering.shop/@offby1/114803275185639289I've spent the day trying out [@steveklabnik.com](https://bsky.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/steveklabnik.com)'s [#jujutsu](https://wandering.shop/tags/jujutsu) tutorial, and as a forcing function I'm trying it out on a couple of my own repos.
I'm very used to the [#magit](https://wandering.shop/tags/magit) workflow in [#emacs](https://wandering.shop/tags/emacs) and I don't know how much I'm gonna like moving over to a full TUI for version control. So far, I feel like a rank newbie again, which is strange given how relatively expert I think I've become with git.

A CLI for on-device speech transcription using Speech.framework on macOS 26.
github.com/finnvoor/yapWhat stood out above all else was Yap’s speed. By harnessing SpeechAnalyzer and SpeechTranscriber on-device, the command line tool tore through the 7GB video file a full 55% faster than MacWhisper’s Large V3 Turbo model, with no noticeable difference in transcription quality.

mise — a development environment setup tool.
mise.jdx.devts functionality is grouped into 3 categories described below.
mise installs and manages dev tools/runtimes like node, python, or terraform both simplifying installing these tools and allowing you to specify which version of these tools to use in different projects. mise supports hundreds of dev tools.
mise manages environment variables letting you specify configuration like AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID that may differ between projects. It can also be used to automatically activate a Python virtualenv when entering projects too.
mise is a task runner that can be used to share common tasks within a project among developers and make things like running tasks on file changes easy.

It requires:
- "Daily" dumps of customer data
- The "immediate destruction" of any phones a shop comes across that has third-party parts

fosstodon.org/@soller/111602942350402876This is cosmic-term, a very WIP project that takes the alacritty_terminal crate providing the majority of terminal code but rewrites the renderer to support additional features such as bidirectional text and ligatures. It will support both software and GPU rendering, and will have additional UI sugar provided by libcosmic as they are implemented.

fedi.simonwillison.net/@simon/109887164486250068TIL that macOS ships with a default CLI command called "sips", for "scriptable image processing system" - and it can convert webp images to PNG, but it can also generate entirely new images from scratch using an almost entirely undocumented canvas-based JavaScript API! <https://til.simonwillison.net/macos/sips>
