Octal on iOS is the best. Been using it for years and I have never found a better reader for hn.

For those that don’t know or remember:

“Tonight isn’t just about the people in front of the camera. In this room are some of the most important TV and film executives in the world. People from every background. But they all have one thing in common: They’re all terrified of Ronan Farrow.”

I wonder if they’ve had so many new signups lately that they just don’t have enough capacity, so they fiddled with the defaults so they could respond to everyone? Could it be as simple as that?

Google has had memory loss. I was on usenet in the early 80's and when Google took over, I had fun reviewing my posts. Probably 10 years ago (more or less), I did the search again and the earliest post was sometime in the 90's. Very sad that they lost all those posts (not just of mine, but surely there are many more they lost).

EDIT: and in this specific archive, the earliest post of mine is 2003!

So you're saying for a simple setup of 1 user, you really need to pay for 2 users. The admin account and the real user you want to use, which doubles the cost.

This is why I do full Google Takeout every 2 months and have my own domain with Workspace. I don't rely on cloud file storage. The calendar is important, but I could switch easily.

IMO, the worst part of this is Workspace support is immune to ANY explanation. I mean, credit card companies are well used to "is this your transaction?" emails.

I need to bookmark this so when maga nuts claim this never happens I have ready proof.

My only gripe, it only seems to apply to the macOS items. The ones put there by apps still seem to be spaced out the same as before. The macOS ones are definitely closer.

It's odd the platform is never mentioned. I have LR and CC installed (the latter is impossible to remove, IIUC) and no /etc/hosts mods. I'm on macOS.

Likely. I had him setup with uBO but sometimes it would bork a website so he disabled it, I think. Then, one day I screen shared with him and he's using Safari! He claims he had always used Safari. :/ He doesn't really even understand what a browser is. Or a tab. Once I screen shared and he had like 30 gmail tabs in Safari. :o

I’m up to more than 1,500 spam emails a month, with my email on the corp website.

The number of redirects while using ms properties is just insane. It makes white listing them in uBO impossible because they redirect so fast, through multiple domains. The White listing is needed to sometimes make them work.

My dad googled “amex phone number” and called the first result. I spent most of a Saturday cleaning up after the scammers.

I told him, next time call the number on the back of your card.

Or make a local backup from your phone.

Let’s not forget Benn Jordan’s work identifying sonic pollution that is making people sick.

At least there you might be asked to stand in front of a canon if you don’t kiss ass hard enough.

Incompetence is the forte of this administration.

Does jj write to the .git directory or use git’s libraries (I assume they exist)?

I think most of us read it the way you meant it. Sorry for your loss.

The concern you raise is front and center for me, because my mother is 87 and we’ve been looking for a place. All the options are terrible, without considering PE.

I run emacs on linix in X11 mode and display on my mac with Starnet’s FastX. Been doing this since the product was released, and was a customer of their X server before that.

Agreed! Destroyed muscle memory, but maybe now it brings parity to chrome and firefox, so those of us who have to use both have an easier time.

Addons that expose your tab’s data to random strangers who might cash out when they get enough users, where the new owner is much less ethical? No thanks.

The idea someone doesn’t know they bothering everyone around them is absurd. It is 100% malice.

Because the malfeasance of the last administration was orders of magnitude less than the current one.

EDIT3: the process took a while, but it imported much better than Apple Music. A cursory look at the ui/ux... I can live with this, though I really need to test drive it for a while.

@gaws Really appreciate your suggestion.

Wow, installed YTM and my spotify playlists are already there. Including something I liked a couple of hours before I installed the app. When I did this in Apple Music I had to jump through simple hoops to allow the connection!

So far, looks very simple and easy to use. I will definitely give a try. Thanks!

EDIT: right off the bat, it's included all my likes from YT... which is very annoying. Those are videos. Hopefully that can be changed.

EDIT2: I didn't include my Spotify liked songs... it was coincidicence that I listened to something in YT and Spotify.

I'll check it out. Thanks.

I should have taken detailed notes, but I didn't. I was continuously frustrated when I wanted to do something I used to do in Spotify, but couldn't find a way to do it in Music. Also, in general, I just found the UI of Music really confusing, even after days of using it.

The two features I use most on Spotify are "radio for a song" and "shuffle liked songs" (of which I have some 5k... and I moved them over to Music into a playlist). I'm pretty sure I had issues with both of these, but as I said, I don't remember. Had both of these gone well, I'd have stayed with it.

Btw, I had the same reaction to the Podcasts app. Having used Pocket Casts for many years, I tried Podcasts and the UI is just terrible for the way I listen to podcasts. The only time I use it is when I need to look for some NYT thing that isn't still in the free feeds.

I would love to cancel and move to something else. Recently tried Apple Music and I was appalled at how bad it was. The ui/ux of Spotify isn’t great, and has gotten worse over the years, but Apple Music’s was downright terrible. I stuck it out for a week and then deleted the app.
