Hilariously, the AI detecting plug-in named 'D-Slop' ranks a few of his paragraphs as probably written by AI. Self loathing has reach artificial intelligence! Obviously, add more emdashes...

You can install ChromeOS on a Mac: https://chromeos.google/products/chromeos-flex/

It's a great stopgap OS for older hardware.


I blogged about the shift to 'local only' web apps that seem to be proliferating: http://www.undr.com/understatement/2026/feb13_web_apps_work_...

With a future of ChromeOS Flex running on millions of older hardware, the browser is the new 'App Store'.

...and congrats on reducing your dependency on third party tools!


Exactly this — the browser is the most universal runtime we have. No install, no update prompts, just open and use. The ChromeOS Flex angle is interesting too, hadn't thought about that audience


Bad actors are relentless and never ending.


What surprised me is that the disputes were limited to the first month where stripe support agent recommended not to refund them because they might be legitimate.. The past 7 months have been clean after I fully optimized Radar rules.


Cute! I like it. Snazzy design and looks good. I appreciate the design choices you made.

My only disappointment is the dreaded LocalStorage, and now your Kanban is limited to one machine/browser. Yes, backup often; Won't, human forgetful.


Appreciate your feedback. I will try and add sync option.I made this for personal use and thought of sharing since it turned out well.


No need to appease me. I am on the lookout for a Trello replacement, but may end up self-hosting or vibe coding my own. I have a dream of marrying plain HTML _details elements with _textareas where the _summary is an editable _input.


Bookmarked and added to my arsenal of browser-based tools: http://www.undr.com/understatement/2026/feb13_web_apps_work_...


Worked for Bansky, to great success, I might add.


Everyone's a critic.


What AI did you use to write that?


Quite informative, and a laundry list of flavor names/chemicals that sound far more dangerous than they taste. Interesting find is vinegar, which might have offered a small germ-fighting benefit and given Coca Cola the 'medical' qualities it initially sold for...


The ingredients he uses are not necessarily what CC uses, but they're just a way to replicate the flavor profile. Notably he lacks the coca extract so he has to make up for it.


I think that the cocaine was the origin of its medical debut.


It was a reformulation from a popular drink where wine was infused with coca leaves and kola nuts, popular with Pope Leo XIII who appeared on poster advertisements for it. (and many others)

Georgia passed prohibition and coca-cola was an invention to replace the now banned beverages.


Is that tonic wine? Like buckfast?


Same kind of thing as Buckfast, long out of production but somebody tried to revive it a decade ago.

Cola nut also contains caffeine, so quite an energy drink between the two.


I was surprised to see nausea meds for kids that's phosphoric acid and sugar...

I thought it was well known that Coca Cola contained phosphoric acid. It's one of the reasons why it's so bad for your teeth.


Indeed, I think it is and I was given coke for my tummy as a kid so I was making the connection between coke's medicinal properties to on-the-market nausea meds.


It's explicitly listed as an ingredient, even.


I mean, uh, we used to not have any laws about this stuff:
