(If you're new here, welcome, happy holidays, and also you can read all the old editions at the Installer homepage.) This week, I've been reading about mall Santas and malleable software and phone bans, wondering how I barely know any of the songs in DJ Earworm's annual mashup,"
"waiting patiently for Ugmonk's Layflat notebooks to go back on sale, finally setting up my Switch 2 Camera for some holiday gaming, trying desperately to not come in last place in my fantasy football league, using MCP to build some really weird note-taking workflows in Craft, and learning all the words to Justin Bieber's rap verse in "Drummer Boy" because I saw someone do it on TikTok."
