Perfect.

The HP laptop I have for work includes a little plastic thing that slides over the webcam.

Except it’s missing the hammer of the big seven tech companies whacking it further into that gap

“Dear god, this man has no plumbus! No wonder his shleem levels are so low!”

Listening to music helps me exercise, and having an app means that I can be in the zone with my music and get a chime telling me when it’s time to change pace rather than be distracted by paying attention to a stopwatch.

“Oh Jesus, Super Grover, you killed Wilson Fisk!”

Thank you, that looks like exactly what I was looking for!

The Arch users got sick of all the jokes.

A fair point. Kind of like an arsonist could make my next move really easy.

More reason that other countries developing smaller, regional cloud providers is a good thing. Part of the reason AWS thinks they can get away with this is that there are 2-3 other providers they compete with, and moving is onerous.

A moment of envy?

Is MacOS no longer supporting terminal apps? I imagine you could use neovim in macOS.

The article actually shouts out Apple as doing things really well, which was surprising considering he’s focused on Linux which is only barely an option on current Mac machines.

He’s more or less said that exact thing.

I feel this a lot. Between people moving away and turning inward, I have maybe one or two really good friends.

Yeah, it’s pretty fucked that the male actor didn’t say something about the intimacy coordinator not being present, the fact there wasn’t prior notice, and so on. Definitely makes him complicit at best.

Or a coalition of media companies maintaining a legal defense fund.
