Starting small, gradually scaling up. What a concept!
jethronethro··on Trump Mobile

And it isn't even Friday the 13th for a good chunk of the world ...
jethronethro··on Stop Using Encrypted Email (2020)
Stop telling people to stop using stuff. What happened to the good old fashioned suggestion? Guess doing that doesn't provide and SEO/controversy juice.
jethronethro··on Trump and Musk enter bitter feud – and Washington buckles up
To be honest, I wasn't expecting the cracks to show until July at the earliest. Guess that's what happens when you put two brittle, volatile personalities in a room. How long before Musk challenges Trump to a fight?

jethronethro··on WordPress to Add AI?
I'm surprised it took Automattic this long to add AI to WordPress. Since I don't use WordPress, I really don't care. Just another company grasping at AI straws.
jethronethro··on Apple will jump straight to "iOS 26" in shift to year-based version numbers
Didn't Microsoft do something like that with Windows in 1995? Will this last as long as Microsoft's experiment with year-based versioning?
jethronethro··on RFK Jr.'S MAHA Report Cites Research Studies That Don't Exist
Even without the help of LLMs, I'd expect them to refer to reports that don't exist.

The message at https://fastmailstatus.com/ is that some users are unable to access Fastmail services. Wonder if that's geographic, the digital gods rolling some dice, or something else.

It is now. I've found that it sometimes takes a little while for an outage or interruption to register.

jethronethro··on Electric Vehicles Died a Century Ago. Could That Happen Again?
FUD, FUD, FUD, FUD. As (I think it was) Robert Llewellyn said, there are forces trying to stop that moves EVs and to renewable energy but in the end all they'll wind up doing is slowing those moves down.

jethronethro··on Ask HN: I am 17y/o failed 16 indie ideas, any programs suggestions
Not everything you code will be a smash. Or be any good. Learn from your failed ideas. Keep trying. Keep learning. Keep improving. Maybe you'll finally hit that one big idea. If you don't, you might just have skills a future employer or business partner will be looking for.
jethronethro··on I asked Gemini for a script to move files to Cloudflare R2. It deleted them
This is why you test code or a script before running it for real. Live and learn, I guess ...
