But, it’s the Canary®™… of coal mine fame.

So old. Like 12 years old.

But, without disruptive new products, sales seem to be stuck in a muted place. And the next swing at big disruption, Vision Pro, starting next year, feels a like a slow build, initially.

Fuck stock market analysts. In one sentence it’s “they don’t innovate.” In the next sentence it’s, “they innovate, but I want them to do it faster.”

How often can you expect a single company to disrupt entire markets? These expectations are not sustainable.

What your talking about is called a clipboard manager, and there are tons of them out there. All with varying features.

MIT gives YOU more freedom

After years of debate about licenses for my own software (that only I use…), my philosophy has been boiled down to this: MIT for libraries. GPL for programs.

This way, other developers can freely use your library, and your program remains free.

I’m sure there’s some obscure key bind to go directly there

It’s just Cmd+Shift+H (for Home). The shortcuts for many of the most common locations are extremely intuitive.

• Cmd+Shift+A (Applications)
• Cmd+Shift+D (Desktop)
• Cmd+Shift+L (~/Library)
• Cmd+Shift+C (Computer)

Same with Python. I use a combination of the platformdirs and xdg libraries.

XDG gang, rise up!

Also, I know that this community and dot-files in general are Unix based, but this holds true for Windows development as well. You should be putting app files in the users’ %APPDATA% directory, not their user folder. It’s probably even more important since Windows doesn’t autohide dot files.

Again?

Yeah, that’s what I want. For the government to tell me who I am or am not allowed to spend money with. I’m sure that wouldn’t have any negative repercussions.

Kind of. They look the same, but don’t act the same. Folder don’t show their contents until you double click them. They act like any other file in that way. One click to select. Double click to open. I like the more basic one click functionality for browsing.

Columns became the dealbreaker when I was considering switching from macOS to Linux. I need my columns.

I absolutely love Espanso. So much faster than TextExpander and I like that it’s config is plain text files.

You’re insane though if you think Inkscape is better than Illustrator. I’m not an Adobe fanboy by any means, but it is a really good (if bloated) product.

Firefox has been very good (better than Chrome) for several years. Ever since they released Quantum.

There’s nothing special about it. It’s just the extension in a larger format. I’ve tried to use it a few times, but there’s no gain over the extension. And, typically the extension is better because I already have my browser open, so I don’t need to open a new app.

Absolutely not. My 65+ year old parents just cut the cord recently because they were paying over $250 for cable. They now pay around $90 for Hulu+Live and get almost everything they had before, with a couple of small exceptions.

For those not clear, AppleTalk was created at a time where there was no universal standard in networking. The “standard network” you think of today, a bunch of computers plugged into a router, existed but wasn’t the de-facto setup. There was still experimentation going on.

Apple ported some of the AppleTalk features, such as Network Discovery, into Bonjour which was introduced in 2002. Once that became mature, there was no reason to keep AppleTalk around.

Good for you. My oldest backlog task is from 2012. And that was imported from the previous ticketing system (AKA an Excel Sheet).

There wasn’t even a maximum on the contract. When I got my first two phones, I agreed to a 2-year cellular contract. If I closed my account or moved providers before that, I had to pay AT&T some amount of money to kill the contract. After those two years were up, I could do whatever I wanted. I was then on a month-to-month payment, like standard cell plans today. They just wanted to make sure to recoup their money over 2 years for subsidizing my cheaper phone upfront.

Now, the subsidization is more like a subscription fee, where there are additional fees on the bill each month toward the phone and the cell phone company encourages you to get a new one once it’s paid off. You’re still paying full price for a phone. Possibly forever.

However, before deleting an article, CNET reportedly maintains a local copy, sends the story to The Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine, and notifies any currently employed authors that might be affected at least 10 days in advance.

People are freaking out so bad about this story. They’re doing the right thing and archiving it before deletion. Settle down.

How many CNET articles from 2004 are you reading that you’re getting this angry about it?
