I’m switching to Haiku on non-Apple hardware. I am sick of being ripped off with unrepairable shiny junk, then peppered with notifications, which are nothing more than ads for Apple services.
If you add up the cost of all of Apple’s scamming every year, how many years would it take to buy a really nice CNC rig that lets you make your own stuff?
Fear from scientists fleeing Hitler led to the creation of the atomic bomb. When Niels Bohr foresaw the coming nuclear arms race and the unwinnability of nuclear war in 1944, fear is what led to Churchill and FDR to dismiss his proposals that the United States share nuclear technology with the Soviet Union. And so we got the nuclear arms race that we were warned about. History shows us that these horrific situations with nuclear brinkmanship are avoidable, but we are too afraid to do the right thing.
The shift to remote work is unmistakable. Even the singular desire of reluctant managers and business owners seeking to reverse this trend will ultimately fail.
The thing that failed was the screen. It wicked up some coffee and now it only boots without the internal screen plugged in.
I am done giving Apple my money. I switched to paper and pen a month ago and I have never been happier.

No government or corporation has the right to decide who may speak or what they are allowed to say.
For example, just in the last few days YouTube tried to censor @WIONews, and was forced to relent as millions of Indian citizens protested via #YouTubeUnblockWION: https://www.youtube.com/embed/WQ7vy2JxH0U

I thought of sending you links to read and watch, but if you want them, you’ll have to allow your curiosity overcome your fear and reach out to me (@maxharris9) on Twitter.
Our science does not understand consciousness yet. It may yet prove to be a mistake to think that those obliterated by nuclear weapons suffer the same thing that victims of conventional attacks do.

Read "The Making of the Atomic Bomb" by Richard Rhodes. Do not skip the chapter containing the testimony of Japanese children the survived the attack. If you skip that, you will not learn what you need from it. It is agonizing.
Embrace the fact that what the scientists did out of fear led inexorably to that horrific outcome, and that this very same choice between fear and love exists before you.
Know that good and evil are teaching tools.
The worse things get, the more vital it is to confront your own fear with love.
Killing always leads to more killing.
“Ok, you say this is about defending Russia’s security interests. Fine - let us move out as many Ukrainians as wish to leave, and in return we will sign a treaty saying that there will be no EU or NATO expansion into Ukraine, and we will lift all sanctions. Furthermore, we will supply Russia with the technology required to decarbonize and save Earth from the looming methane clathrate die-off.”
An unprocessed strawberry is healthy because the fiber limits the rate at which fructose leaks out of the chunks in your gut. Blend or freeze that same strawberry and it becomes junk candy.
When this first came out well over a decade ago, I completely changed my diet and lost 45 lbs. Since then I have kept it off, strictly through diet.
My only exercise is walking, and I am not at all consistent about it. I am living proof that a correct zero-sugar diet alone works.
Putin’s invasion is absolutely immoral, and I am horrified by the destruction we have witnessed.
Now my fear is that we are sleepwalking into a nuclear war. We must stop this madness before it kills us all.
The problem I have is that the intelligence community doesn’t show its homework. How do we know this isn’t Iraqi WMD all over again?
They fooled me for the last time in 2003.
No war in my name.
The Washington Post has no credibility with me.
I don't know why they keep pushing these dumb stories on us. It's not going to prevent people from rushing to buy Teslas, as they are basically sold out through the rest of the year!
These dumb stories are not going to lower the $TSLA share price either. They have absolutely no effect
