I wonder if Elon’s tweet will apply here:

If you were unfairly treated by your employer due to posting or liking something on this platform, we will fund your legal bill, No limit. Please let us know.

Obviously I expect Elon is full of shit and won’t actually do this (or do it 1-2 times then get bored) but it would be funny to watch 2 assholes (Elon/Trump) fight over it.

This reference will never not make my blood boil. Fuck Fox ”news”.

I really want to make a joke about how they could have added an annotation on the video to address it and how it would have taken “$500 of people’s time” but her post was super gross (about the company, not her) and that’s more of a poison pill for a company than the sloppiness IMHO.

I don’t watch LMG content and I have intention of starting to so I don’t have a dog in this fight but I always thought of LMG as “decent content but too over the top and silly for me”, the “decent content” part is in question now and the workplace allegations leave a bad taste in my mouth for sure.

I thought this video was very well done aside from:

• “I don’t agree with ALL the criticisms” - ok, then expand on that
• Store plug - read the room, I thought the sponsor joke was ok but then they did it twice and plugged the store.
• “6 9’s” - didn’t we just talk about filtering for sexual innuendos? Look I don’t give a fuck but, again, read the room
• Linus’ whole section - it really felt genuine then he came on and came off as a petulant child

Sort of, it was during an unscheduled drill and even though they said it was a test before the message they read said “this is not a drill” and an employee sent the message.

I got mine on release day and I’m at 98% and I don’t ever take my battery or it’s life into consideration.

I almost exclusively charge via Qi or MagSafe, I leave it on the charger for long periods of time, and I alternate between saying between 90-100% all day and occasionally running it down to 10-20% 1-2 times a week.

Obviously I could be an outlier but finding a handful of people online claiming something is a terrible basis for an article like this.

Wait, people think they are competently handling telecommunications?

That’s like saying ISPs are doing a good job…

For good reason. Honestly anyone pushing for RCS is an idiot or doesn’t understand what they are pushing for.

Among many issues (including E2E missing by default) the idea of giving any control back to carriers is just stupid.

I don’t think he’s defending a Meta product as much as he is calling out Sensor Tower for being scummy at best if not full of shit.

I much prefer having an in-memory database than mock what a database does.

Which sounds great in theory but then you get to find where your prod DB and testing DB differ and you have to keep chasing that. Unless you are using something like SQLite which has both (disk and in-memory) as an option.

I worked at a place that used a different in-memory DB (H2, IIRC) in place of our MySQL DB for testing. It ended up being hell to maintain and had to have hacks for how H2 and MySQL differ (tests would work in H2 but fail if run against MySQL or vice versa).

People may complain about not having big changes in each year for the watch, but I think it’s important that Apple release certain products every year even if the changes are minor. Just look at the MacBook/iMac/Mac Pro lines and how much people want an upgrade (available at least) every year. It shows apples dedication to the line and it’s very important in my opinion.

People get work up about this but we’ve already crossed the rubicon once the bump was large enough that it couldn’t sit “flat”, even with a case. At this point I don’t care, take up the whole back of the phone if you want.

The bump annoyed me when it was first announced but I’ll choose better pictures over caring about the bump.

What am I missing? This article is about Trump’s rants against Jack Smith (special prosecutor), nothing about Stormy Daniels or a strap on?

I’m still in the honeymoon period (2-weeks since I got it), but I find myself gaming with it every single day pretty much (I’ve put over 40, maybe 50 hours into it already). It’s so much easier to use (and more comfortable) than my computer, whileI don’t have a full gaming computer I’m playing games on my deck I could have played on my computer.

There are definitely games that work better on the steam deck than others but I found a large library of games that I enjoy playing. Also, emulators are a ton of fun and a way to recapture the nostalgia of my youth.

From his lack of response on the topic it’s clear he still supports that position (being anti-gay marriage). He was ousted in part because Mozilla is supposed to be and open and inclusive place to work, hard to do that when your boss doesn’t believe you should be allowed to marry.

Furthermore he proved his lack of morals and character by starting a crypto browser. This guy isn’t worth defending.

Jobs fire people ALL THE TIME over personally held beliefs or things they say/do outside of work. We can argue that’s not right but as long as it happens to the rank and file I think it appropriate to at least try to hold C-level to the same standards. If it helps you sleep at night I’m almost sure he would have survived the backlash at any company that wasn’t like Mozilla, lord knows C-level came get away with murder most places.

Hmm it appears you are right, I don’t know when that got logged in my brain at “Latin” but for some reason I thought it was. Googling some I can’t find a good origin for that even though it’s often used online as “the coverup is worse than the crime”.

There are websites like this that say it’s Latin but Google translate doesn’t give the same results so I guess it’s wrong?

App Review and the unequal application of the rules is the worst part. Make all the rules that you want, but enforce them consistently and for everyone. I hate playing reviewer roulette.

Gigabit symmetrical or GTFO.

I pay something like $110/mo for my symmetrical gigabit fiber line (plus static IP). This should be the standard, not 100Mbps.

Yeah, I’ve been paying $5 (or is it $10?) a month for my Ghost blog on a digital ocean droplet. It’s not worth it, my plan is to move to a static site generator (probably CloudFront -> S3 deployed via GitHub actions in a private repo) at some point. The features of Ghost don’t really matter to me and I hate maintaining the install/updating. Ghost feels like it’s moved more into “self-hosted substack”-territory which I have zero interest in, my blog posts are all public. Also, you can’t hack static files so security isn’t a worry with SSG which is super nice.

Not sure which SSG I’ll go with, when I was younger I would have written my own but now I’ll just pick something off the shelf that has nice themes lol.
