> You're describing a caricature, not an actual group of people.

It's a term used to describe people who find everything a "real nuisance". There are NIMBYs in my town who spent months protesting sidewalks being built in a new residential subdivision.

It's kind of inherently a caricature.

You seem to be getting personally offended by someone suggesting an established crafts store doesn't need to be positioned as a financial asset – you might be projecting a bit with the "holier than though" comment.

That only applies to couriers who want to participate in the program, not consumers who want to self-clear their imported shipments. A person doesn't need to register, they can just take the appropriate forms to a CBSA office and pay any taxes/duties themselves. Kind of a confusing thing to have posted at the top of a page that seems more applicable to consumers than commercial importers.

At least between Subway Surfer Reddit narrations and other garbage, TikTok shows me stuff I know I want to see. Instagram reels will start with something I'm interested in and very quickly pivot to people seemingly in the midst of psychosis, or literal porn. No matter how much I manually report as not interested.

No one is saying that

> Says who?

Anyone who has read about or experienced instruments and music halls that were made before the commodification of electricity?

You definitely live in a bubble but it isn't the kind you think it is

DoorDash and Uber Eats also operate internationally and have a single cohesive brand whereas each country seems to have its own Just Eat-owned service as a result of acquisitions: JustEat in the UK, GrubHub in the US, SkipTheDishes in Canada and Menulog in Australia. All with the same branding and logo but different names and with distinct mobile applications.

Everything they listed was the result of the Trump administration's immigration policies. Do you think human beings should be subjected to these things just because they're living somewhere illegally?

I don't think AA batteries have improved a whole lot over the past 40 years, but power requirements have definitely gone up. The linked SBC needs a 12v/2A power supply minimum. I think the CPU in the Model 100 used something like 1 watt max and even then I recall reading somewhere that it went as far as suspending clock cycles in between key strokes to conserve energy (this may have been something else, I can't find where I read it).

So in my very-much-not-an-expert opinion, I don't think it would be feasible to run a modern computer off of AA batteries, let alone for weeks.

If you need to change a style site-wide you shouldn't be using individual tw classes. Don't blame the tool for shoddy workmanship, etc.

No comments about the product really but an iPhone as a placeholder device on their website is an odd choice.

Some of your choices and what you consider iterative/innovative are strange to me. For 2009, a chassis update for the iMac and a spec/camera bump for the iPhone doesn't seem particularly innovative especially in comparison to say the HomePod in 2017 or Satellite SOS in 2022.

Also small correction but iTunes (as Soundjam MP) was originally third-party software and Final Cut was acquired by Apple.

Yes I'm aware of the prices. You not liking the price of an app doesn't make it "cancer". Personally I think the fact that they have found a model that works and that doesn't require releasing entire new versions of the app, keeps legacy users' versions up-to-date and bug-free while continuing to deliver new features and improvements should be celebrated. Especially from an independent developer team who clearly loves the craft.

So then it objectively isn't "IAP subscriptionware cancer"..

Any time someone talks about how films look better when sets and effects are practical someone chimes in to let them know how actually the horizon was composited or they added CGI sand in this sandstorm scene that would be extremely dangerous to film in if it were real. Just internet pedants who take everything way too literally.

Maybe if you're an old head but kids these days say "bazinga'd"

When you put it that way it seems even more outlandish. No one except maybe a disciple of Marco Pierre White is cutting an onion into 1mm thin slices.

While I don't have a ton of faith in Reddit power-mods, my HOPE is that there would be enough solidarity amongst the mods to make finding replacements difficult and I can't imagine investors would be happy to see leadership excising a potentially significant percentage of their current volunteer labour force.

That's a terrible analogy but sure - if I were evaluating whether "SQLite is good" based on a playlist of programmers and one of them was by one person of an occupation based entirely around pseudoscientific beliefs, some of which are actively harmful, I would probably discount the rest of the videos in the playlist. Especially when many of the other videos are from creators who mainly post clickbait and more pseudoscience.

More like a pile of clickbait and quackery. The video from a holistic dentist is enough to invalidate the entire list in my eyes. Holistic dentistry suggests that oil pulling can repair cavities, that cavities disrupt "meridians" in the body and can then cause cancer and other wild ideas. Not to mention the fact that having mercury amalgam fillings removed (a big topic in holistic dentistry) is far more dangerous than having them in your mouth.

It’s not desiring the fall; it’s terror of the flames.

Not really an answer to your question but I have my password manager integrated with my email host and can generate a new masked email with one click when creating new accounts. Not sure how it is as far as privacy (Bitwarden can't read my email, only create new masked emails - the option to allow read access is provided however) but as far as being able to disable problematic addresses on a whim without changing my main is pretty great.

If the change is to increase revenue in any meaningful way, yes I think that will be the outcome. I highly doubt the "sanctity" of the blue check is worth turning down hundreds of millions of dollars in monthly revenue to anyone involved at Twitter. The idea of a verified account is already bastardized into becoming a status symbol rather than an ID verification.

I remember when "gapless playback" was a big deal when it was eventually added to iPods.

A Sol-20 with monitor sold at an estate auction near me for so cheap not too long ago. I had no idea what it was and had my eye on the Apple IIc instead. I did end up winning a box of S100 bus cards and Sol-20 tapes though, including a "Micro Soft" extended basic cassette. The lot I won also came with an S100 bus "music synthesizer board" which is pretty awesome. I ended up selling most of it off to fund my stupid Vintage Apple collection though.

It was a joke about the video...

Interestingly the AirPods Pro scrolling is super jumpy for me in Safari 13.

I've been building MI modules for a while. Émilie is such a boon to the SDIY community. Not only does she design incredible modules and release the entire design for free but she also actively encourages modification and improvements buy offering a complete development VM.

It was pretty much expected whenever a new module was released that people would get right to work designing 'µ' versions of the modules that use less space on a rack or in some cases "double" versions of modules.
