e40··on Spotify playing ads for paid subscribers
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.
e40··on Afroman prevails in defamation trial over songs about police raid on his home
Did they pay his attorney fees? Article didn’t say.
e40··on The Neo cannot scale with macOS behind on the basics
Why does Apple get shade here??
e40··on On a Boat
Time flies, that video is 16 years old!
e40··on Peter Thiel's Antichrist lectures in Rome spark questions in Italian parliament
It seems we humans are destined to be ruled and controlled by the sociopaths among us.
e40··on AirPods Max 2
There is a procedure to lessen the clamp pressure. I did it and was worried I’d break them, but it worked like a charm. Still too heavy, though.
e40··on Life as an OnlyFans 'chatter'
Scott Galloway said the other day that their revenue per employee is higher than any company.
e40··on What happens when US economic data becomes unreliable
I think the real issue now is that it's 10x worse. The people controlling things are actively and shamelessly making things worse, for their own purposes (so there is less accountability, IMO). The problem is the new, unintended side effects of what they are doing. Because they aren't really that smart, they don't even understand this.
e40··on 24-year-old ditched her smartphone and social media known as 'appstinent'
Honestly, this could appear unaltered in The Onion.
e40··on Rebasing in Magit
My exact experience, though I did learn it from a co-worker, so at least he did succeed. :)
e40··on Two Years of Emacs Solo
Been using gnu emacs since the 80s and it’s one of the first things I changed. Did you figure it out? If not I can dig up the answer tomorrow.
e40··on AI-Powered F1 Predictions
We know that in hindsight, but at the time even Lewis asked why they didn't pit one driver.
e40··on Will Claude Code ruin our team?
Absolutely. This is precisely why people are saying AI will eliminate software jobs.
e40··on AI-Powered F1 Predictions
Maybe easier and more urgently, predict if they should take advantage of a VSC to pit. HAM would have had a podium had he pitted and LEC not.
e40··on Tinnitus Is Connected to Sleep
Yes!! Sometimes it's much worse when either I don't get a full night's sleep or I wake up from a short nap. The latter is almost guaranteed to make it really bad.
e40··on Armed robots take to the battlefield in Ukraine war
This did seem inevitable, once this war became mostly about drones.
e40··on Nobody gets promoted for simplicity
I hate clickbait titles like this. Of course, some organizations appreciate and reward simplicity. Mine does.
e40··on Nobody gets promoted for simplicity
That is dead, but I vouched for it.
e40··on OpenClaw surpasses React to become the most-starred software project on GitHub
I have tried several times to automate tasks with it and have failed all but one time, but that only worked briefly. It stopped working a few hours later. I resolved to never waste time on that POS again.
e40··on U.S. science agency moves to restrict foreign scientists from its labs
> Harper is still lurking in the shadows and pulling strings decade after being ousted as Prime Minister.

Do you mean he still has an impact or he is actively impacting things now?

e40··on Just two days of oatmeal cut bad cholesterol by 10%
What does “Changed to a stronger one” mean?
e40··on Dan Simmons, author of Hyperion, has died
Bizarrely, Reply is one of my favorite scifi books. One of the only books I’ve read more than once.
e40··on The United States and Israel have launched a major attack on Iran
And it happened on a Friday night. Best time of the week for the least news impact.
e40··on How do I cancel my ChatGPT subscription?
You seriously can’t imagine a single reason why someone would want to save their chats? That’s hard to believe.
e40··on OpenAI agrees with Dept. of War to deploy models in their classified network
This is how OpenAI gets bailed out in an AI crash, too big to fail becomes too important to fail.
e40··on Never buy a .online domain
Of the suggestions, I think I would lean to CF, too.
e40··on Never buy a .online domain
Shit, didn’t know that namecheap was acquired by PE! Very sad news. Is there any registrar left that isn’t crap?
e40··on The Looming Taiwan Chip Disaster That Silicon Valley Has Long Ignored
Here, and some tech spaces, sure, but not in circles of people that matter.
e40··on Eric Trump is deleting all crypto related x posts
Better late than never, learning that documenting your crimes is a bad idea. Perhaps he just realized his father won’t be POTUS forever.
e40··on They Fought for the CIA in Afghanistan. In America, They're Living in Fear
The moral bankruptcy of this administration knows no bounds. Remnds me of what we did to translators during the pullout.
