I’ll always send a quick text. I never need a reason for a no. If they say no, I thank them for their time and move on. Some people want more hours and are glad to take the shift, some want the day off. I understand both perspectives.
Seems like the discourse has broken down to picking sides.
Hamas is a terrorist organization and does nothing to help the Palestinian people. Israel is indiscriminately leveling a city with absolutely zero regard for innocent lives.
Maybe this situation is full of nuance and grey areas that a single tweet or article or comic can’t fully encapsulate.

The entire system failed. Simple as that. A veteran was left uncared for. The greater mental healthcare system (which isn’t exactly much) didn’t work. And SOMEHOW, this guy was STILL allowed to carry a weapon with mass killing potential.
Nothing’s going to change. It’ll be forgotten. We’ll repeat it over and over.
Fuck the gun lobby. Fuck the health industry lobby. Fuck all of the money and greed stopping us from ever fixing this.

Years ago, had a job at a public establishment. Building gets evacuated due to suspected gas leak. Four fire trucks in front of the entrance with lights flashing and an army of firemen inside, trying to find the source of the leak. In the midst of all of this, a customer walks between two of the trucks and tries to enter the building.
It was fun watching the fire fighters scold him like a toddler

Hi there! I thought I should give you all an update on Voyager as a newsletter format. This may become a regular thing, maybe not, I’m still not sure. :)...
[A]n INI configuration file in the Windows Canary channel, discovered by German website Deskmodder, includes references to a “Subscription Edition,” “Subscription Type,” and a “subscription status.”
To start, I don’t think it’ll be a “subscribe or else” type deal. My assumption would be something like a forced S mode unless you subscribe.
Second, people won’t jump right away. To start, word will get around and they’ll simply not update. Then, when it comes time to buy a new computer, the average user will be possibly swayed to look at entry level MB Airs (They often go on sale for like $750) or Chromebooks.
The people who will get really pissed will be power users and gamers who will be forced to shell out money to get back features they had in previous versions of the OS.
The app seems to be abandoned at this point. I would suggest looking at some of the other options. Bean, Voyager, Avelon, and Liftoff are all great options on iOS.
I’m certainly not here to beat up on them at all. I think they were VERY ambitious and sort of set the tone for app development which definitely helped me feel more comfortable as I came over from Reddit. The facts are the facts though. They’ve been almost entirely radio silent and there haven’t been any commits to GitHub in like a month. Maybe it’s just a long break so they can breathe after a crazy dev cycle, but the overall silence isn’t a great sign and I moved on because of it.
Mastodon recently incorporated into a nonprofit to continue development.

“Patina” usually refers to desirable wear that makes an item, generally, perceived to be more beautiful.
I’m not here to knock Apple. I’m literally waiting for my Plus pre-order to arrive, but at what point is the word “patina” being used to describe and pass off easily marred product as something more than it is?
We have a 12 and 14 ProMax and I noticed the new color scheme change on the 12.

Anyone know if there’s a setting somewhere to...
Love Memmy, use it every day. I know the devs had to take some much-needed time off and I respect that 100%. That said, I keep selfishly wanting my favorite app to get better and am wondering if effort will resume soon? Or is the rewrite happening under the covers and we just don’t see the activity? Anyway thanks, just...
Because executive pay is largely given in shares, so it incentivizes the leadership to invest funds in buy backs to inflate the price of the very shares they own instead of investing that money into employee pay or other company centric initiatives.

Grand Theft Auto 5 turns 10 years old (www.eurogamer.net)
It’s quite hard to believe it, but yes - yesterday marked 10 years since GTA 5 first released on PS3 and Xbox 360.
I have a usbc to lightning cable. can i use that to transfer data from my iPhone 12PM to my iPhone 15PM?
The cable already exists for fast charging and what not. Seems like going from this phone to the new one (coming Friday!) should be a piece of cake.
