You know the Internet didn’t die, right?

Said it better than I could. Fair? Yes. Effective? No.

Actively encouraging people to toss perfectly good hardware to fuel their subscription bullshit… and these guys weren’t even recently bought by a VC firm or anything?

I jumped over to the App Store the second Hades was announced, fully willing to pay full price, even though I could easily get the game for 30% cheaper on Steam.

Subscription required.

Fuck. That.

Saying “Integrates with OpenAI” in 2023 is exactly equivalent to saying “uses Web 2.0” from 20 years ago. Buzzword trash that says absolutely about how the product uses said technology.

One frustration I have with Community listings has been that the list of “active” users includes bots, and posts with zero comments. I’m having a lot of trouble finding communities in instances that actually have active discussion, particularly with higher counts of unique users contributing content.

Better question: Is an iPhone less than a tiny PC?

If it weren’t for the crippled OS, their ridiculous power would be more obvious. They’re probably faster than any two-generation old, mid range CPUs and GPUs, as well.

That said, remember iPhone Pro phones cost more than most laptops, and by that same token, have more powerful gpus and cpus than most laptops, too.

Lately, email is virtually not a priority outside of work, and is pretty much just storage for service notifications, online receipts, vendor mail, and poor man’s mfa/password resets. I’ve got these classified decently well, and virtually all of these are read/acknowledged in near real time on my phone.

Human to human comms are now over signal or discord, though admittedly I don’t have a great method to track items needing follow up.

All said, how is thunderbird these days?
