My Steam reply for 2024!

Dynamic Island Notes & Memo
Interesting application for quick note taking, one that focuses on making novel use of the iPhone's Dynamic Island.
I'm not quite sure I'd really make much use of this, but I'm bookmarking it as something to come back to in the future.
What's New in Emacs: Last Decade Edition
Some folk use Emacs out of the box, and never realise just how much more it can do if you sprinkle some of the newer stuff over your configuration. This article does a good job of explaining some of those additions.
VTOL VR Info Dump
Comprehensive fan-written manual for VTOL VR.
Apple Intelligence in iOS 18.2: A Deep Dive into Working with Siri and ChatGPT, Together
Comprehensive article covering all the things that iOS 18.2 brings to Apple Intelligence (even more useful to me given that 18.2 is the first time AI turns up on iOS in the UK).
p3r7/awesome-elisp: 🏵️ A curated list of Emacs Lisp development resources
One of those “awesome list” lists, of all things Emacs Lisp.
These Apple Intelligence Features Aren't Coming Until 2025
Pretty useful summary of what Apple Intelligence delivers and has coming (as of December 2024).
@davep.org | Bluesky Meter
Analytics of my use of Bluesky.
Predator VR on Steam
So apparently there is a Predator game for VR but it’s only available via a commercial licence!
ungive/discord-music-presence: The Discord music status that works with any media player
Discord music status app that works with many media players, including macOS.
Enabling controllers without turning on PS5?
Had the problem when pairing my controllers with my PC that the PS5 kept turning on. According to this it might just have been me being clumsy. Looks like once they’re paired with the PC they should wake on PS button and connect to the PC.
Raises the question: is there an easy way to switch them between devices.
Public Page ― Raindrop.io Help

The AT Protocol SDK
Python SDK for working with the protocol that underpins Bluesky.
Silent Poems
Not easy to describe, but lots of fun to play around with. Create art, of a sort, by typing.
More bands like NIN? : r/nin
Reddit thread where people recommend artists similar to NIN.
Crafting Interpreters
A guide to building an interpreter for your own language.
One day.... one day.
YAMLScript.org
The programming language nobody ever asked for, not even the author, probably.
Wisdom of Peterson
Kinda silly but then so is the person this is taking the piss out of.
As an aside though: annoyingly this site seems to be one that disables right click, for no good reason whatsoever. Please don't do that people; there's no good reason; ever.
Nazi Zombies: Portable
Zombie shooter in the browser. A fun way to kill half an hour when all you have is a browser.

A lisp implementation - Summary [Savannah]
Yet another implementation of Common Lisp.
Visual Voicemail | Vodafone
For some reason it's taken me until my third iPhone, and almost 5 years, to realise that you can turn up the on-phone voicemail facility when using Vodafone.
Amazing what you can find when you RTFM.
VR ProOptics | Prescription VR lenses for PlayStation VR2
Reasonable-looking prescription inserts for the PSVR2. While I have inserts for my Quest 2 (and they're amazing), I've not used this company before. The plus side is they're based in the UK.
Going to give them a try and see what they're like.
Collections Database
Interesting and useful-looking personal database app for iOS and macOS. I haven't really needed a database app like this for a long time, but it's worth keeping a note of this should it became a requirement.
It looks good enough that I almost want to try and find a reason to use it.

Leak: Valve is making a Steam Controller 2 and a ‘Roy’ for its Deckard
I regret never having bought one back in the day. I’ll absolutely have to get the new one. I did buy and still own a SteamLink, although haven’t used it in years. Just used an Xbox controller with it back then.
Absolutely love my SteamDeck so if the new controller builds on that I’m all in!
Welcome to Pytest-BDD’s documentation! — Pytest-BDD 7.3.0 documentation
A BDD plugin for use with pytest.
A Definitive Guide to External Displays on macOS
Everything you ever wanted to know about external displays and macOS; and probably a ton more besides.
MacsyZones, FancyZones for macOS
Very interesting-looking app aimed at window layout on macOS. While macOS has that sort of stuff built in now, this seems to go way beyond that.
Space Weather by SolarHam
Space weather portal. Looks like a pretty dense but also really handy view of what the Sun's up to at the moment.
Mushroom Index: Mushroom Color Atlas
An atlas of mushrooms based around their colour.
I don't know that I'll ever have a use for this, but the fact that it exists makes me happy.
TypeStrong/ts-node: TypeScript execution and REPL for node.js
Useful-looking tool that makes TypeScript usable on the command line, amongst other things.
