Fantastic update!

You’re a good offspring.

They’ll win if they file legal action. Their servers are not a public service and they offer no invitation for Beeper to use them for compute. A podcast app developer likened it to if a competing app tried to use his servers to sync podcast subscriptions. When you frame it as anything other than a big corporation stomping on a smaller company, it’s obviously stealing resources. I am not endorsing either side. Just stating a fact.

Dumb mother fuckers.

Capitalism has failed.

I’d support threats to Israel that if they don’t immediately stop what they’re doing, the USA (my country) will invade and occupy their borders. I feel so helpless.

Best pic I’ve seen today.

Also looking to move manufacturing out of China.

I go there to passively consume short videos of stuff that isn’t here, but fuck if I’m gonna comment or vote. I don’t even sign in.

This is a great metric-explainer. What impressive numbers. Now we really know how successful this migration has been.

This would be far less likely if we did away with religion.

Even if it’s true, I can’t believe anything Israel says at this point.

(Spyware, ads, and the inability to delete the built in browser)

Ads for Apple services, yes. I don’t approve of that. But this is otherwise bullshit. I can delete any app I want. And I have to opt-in for Apple to get my crashlogs. And there aren’t ads for third-party bullshit.

And Linux is even better. Both OSes are great by comparison. And good on their own. We will never have perfect software.

I have a Mac / Linux background. I took a job where I supported primarily Windows machines. I remember wanting to set a machine to NTP to solve an out-of-sync time issue. I knew what the goddamned computer protocol was, but futzed around trying to find where I could enable it for ten minutes. Windows is confusing as fuck. I say that as a person who has since learned where shit is in this bullshit OS.

You could not entice a teenaged me more.

I get that not everyone has extra cash to spend. I’m very fortunate to be able to throw $10 at a problem. I don’t begrudge you if you need to save cash (I have no kids to raise, for example). But I think $10 is fair if you search a bunch. Maybe I’m overvaluing it; I have heard great things about Kagi, but I’m still fucking around on Google cause it’s “good enough,” even though it’s in great decline. Fuck it, I’m a hypocrite.

I was lamenting our (I’m assuming you’re in USA based on writing) need-to-work culture just the other day to my partner. My mother just had major surgery and described feeling guilty for taking things easy during recovery. This prompted me to think about how many times I’ve felt guilty calling-out when sick. It’s a completely fucked up way of thinking. People in Europe often criticize our work-culture on forums.

Just do it. It’s hard. Do it anyway. Just say, “I’m done.” You’ll be surprised how easy it was after and you’ll realize it wasn’t as big as you’d feared.

As soon as the hostages are released, the bombing will resume.

Please note that I want the hostages to survive just as much as I want the bombing to cease.

Wait, can someone please link stats? Now I want to know.

I was commenting irl, just last night, about how I continue to enjoy the thing that replaced the old site.
