Oh, that's very interesting!

I wish that I could have the Mac FInder and unified menu bar on a Linux system.

Hooray!

I just paid an insane price for a MacBook Pro.

An insane price.

I had an M1 Max MacBook Pro, but with the skyrocketing cost of RAM and SSDs, my M5 Max MacBook Pro cost an arm and a leg and a half.

Oh, I remember her! She did all of those great dances!

I use simplelogin.io which generates email aliases so you can log in to sites without them knowing who you are.

What does that mean?

It doesn't scroll unless the video is paused.

One interesting channel I've found recently is called "Life On Film". They just randomly walk up to people and hand them an old-style camera and ask them to take photos/video of things happening. I think it's really cool:

It's kind of neat and open to registration now.

Brave supports it.

The world is pretty stressful now, so I thought we could post things that are wholesome (including silly wholesome or just wholesome).

I so wish they would ditch annual releases. Release a new version when new tech requires a new kernel. Not before. The current method reeks of boardroom gimmickry.

You don't like when the new feature is throwing out the old good interface and adding OMG NEW EMOJIS!?

DO NOTE: it is LOUD, but not so loud that I worried about my hearing.

I have some Loop reusable earplugs. They come in a case that attaches to my keychain, so they're available at a moment's notice. They're really useful.

That's quite an endorsement. Most of the time I don't even want to see good movies twice in such a short period.

The Invite is a good movie.

Penelope Cruz is insanely attractive.

Hooray! More good people!

Very nice.

One of the other things I've found is that on a lot of the sites that have tried to disable right-click, I can still drag the image to my desktop.

My search engine use has not shrank. It's grown massively. I used my 100 trial search queries in the span of 3-4 days.

If your iPhone set to allow Airdrop from other devices?

I went to see Obsession.

That movie is pretty messed up. It's a good movie, but it's messed up.

Ooh, what kind of electrical safety laws? I'm really curious.

I'd check ebay. There's a good chance you could find the exact same product and just replace your original with it.

That's pretty impressive.

Your interest makes me want to actually go to a game. Not in the U.S., but hopefully after I succeed in getting out. I like the sport, and it sounds incredibly fun.

I want to be excited, but the politics are like a cloud hanging over everyone's head. I wish it was happening in a different location.

I have to admit that the idea of having a local AI sort my files according to the context I've always used so I could clean up every single folder on my system sounds pretty appealing.

Thank you for sharing that!

Good point.

LibreOffice is free and can edit Office documents.

And there's a new office suite being released this week, EuroOffice.

Cute Rick Roll.

Way way back in the day, I tried running Darwin without the macOS GUI on top of it. It was really interesting, and I remember liking the mascot very much.

Apple would probably shy away from that now, for fear of being associated with demons.

Had Jonathan Frakes sing Happy Birthday to me on my 60th (thanks to Cameo and a couple friends with money)

I think this is one of the coolest aspects of all.

I am just so impressed with how fast and stable and Mac-native Helium has felt, and how it passes these tests:

It took A LOT of extensions to get Brave to randomize the data used for fingerprinting.

I'm not familiar with those. Do you know of video for what they do?

It's terrifying when it seems like a phone isn't going to start.

Oh dear Lord.

So dumb.

So dumb.
