I'd been listening to di.fm for years, and have been missing a MacOS app. Thanks, Antigravity, for making the world of personalized software really easy: fifteen minutes and two small bugs later, github.com/haykinson/difmplayer gives me a Spotify-style player. Yay!

It's cookie o'clock, y'all.

An interesting thought: historically, a major consideration for companies choosing what #programmingnotesfollow #languagenotesfollow to use is how many engineers use it (because that will make hiring much easier/harder).

Another day missing Aaron Swartz.
