This seems like something different though - it's the audio this time and the screenshotted email doesn't mention Disney this time, so I wonder if he's used some music in it (there's some at the beginning) which is still

Yeah, this was very jerky for me too (MacBook Pro, M1 Max) - really not a good visual experience, which is the point of these things presumably.

Thanks for this. I looked at mailbox.org before picking Fastmail, but their pricing is a bit much for the relatively small amount of storage, and I just want email, not their office platform, which seems to be a core part of their offer. Ho

Very much agree on this. It's what made a switch from Google Workspace to Fastmail much easier than it might have been, and gives me confidence that if there's a better alternative to Fastmail I discover later I can jump ship pret

Thanks. I've been getting back into the Apple Music app a bit - I have a large library of CDs that I've digitised too, but I've discovered so much on Spotify over the years that I think I'd miss that side of it. I don&#x

It is important for public accountability that a public body tracks these kinds of things. Why should citizens of a country have to become experts in a subject when the government should be transparent about what they're doing in the f

The only information on the actual Bitcoin holdings has been released in tweets by the president, which don't include anything like a Bitcoin wallet address, so there's no proof that the government actually owns them, and no publi

You need to read the article - the point is that the president has given no details of the holdings except in tweets, and has not answered questions about the enormous sums of money used to promote the scheme, including a $30 "bonus&qu
