atl4s··on The time I didn't meet Jeffrey Epstein
Madelson was dismissed from the ambassadorship September 2025, not this week.

You might be thinking of his stepping down from the House of Lords (upper house of UK parliament) which did happen recently.

atl4s··on Incident with Issues and Pull Requests
Just lost a merge commit to dev/null. This is getting tiresome
atl4s··on Congress.gov API
In a similar vein, here's the UK Parliament API directory: https://developer.parliament.uk
atl4s··on I switched from iPhone to the Pixel 2: One-week report
I use an app called Blink (http://www.blink.sh/) on iOS to manage servers on the move, has mosh support as well for areas with spotty cell service.
atl4s··on The future of Wayland, and Sway's role in it
[Amethyst](https://github.com/ianyh/Amethyst) is a decent tiling manager for macOS if that's what you're after.
atl4s··on The Mac Pro Lives
Obviously YMMV but I've been using Spectacle for years and have never had to do this.
atl4s··on Why I left Mac for Windows: Apple has given up
More FOTM moaning about the state of Apple.

I can't believe people keep reading these "I left Apple and here's why you should care" articles by front end devs with no real idea of what goes into OS dev and where macOS has come from since the days of OS8.

Give me a break, surely if you want to use Windows you don't need to write 2000 words in the form of some needlessly pronoun heavy (because your opinion is really important) diatribe telling us all about how detatched Apple is from reality and how suddenly Windows is the 'place to be' because suddeny Windows has bash support, tell me again why I should drop a fully featured, mature *nix shell for one bolted on top of Windows.

Do people get paid to write articles specifically like this or are these devs so full of their own self importance that they feel like it's their duty to inform us of their opinions on the state macOS and why it's suddenly so much worse than ever before when in reality, macOS has never been more stable or developer friendly.

It's honestly so predictable I could have guessed 90% of the content of this article just from the sensationalist headline alone.

atl4s··on A map of the entire internet as of May 1973
One of my old networks lecturers used to love trotting out this on a slide, pretty sure he had the same map in his attic.
atl4s··on GoDaddy Acquires Host Europe Group
Just in case there's anyone else like me, HEG also owns (owned) Paragon Internet Group which is a problem as all my personal projects and domains are with TSOHost...

What a PITA. RIP TSO, you will be missed.

atl4s··on Django CMS 3.2 released
MODX, started building with it about a year ago and haven't looked back.
