   I still don't understand how forcing Google to sell Chrome achieves any of the regulator's goals. The only piece that matters is how Google controls both ends of the advertising market. I wouldn't be surprised if Google is us

   For the moment, streamlining bandwidth delivery and distributing across other free/cheap tiers. After that, the plan is to find a sales team that'll discount/sponsor the site in exchange for putting their logo in the footer.

   Not necessarily. Netlify told me as I had blown past 20 bucks for 1TB of traffic that paying 50 bucks for every additional 100GB was 'a good problem to have'. Well no, not at all. If your project is one of love, the end game is no

    Walked away from the computer with this page on the screen, came back to find a bunch of colorful bubbles slowly floating over the page. Pressing the touchpad cleared them. It's like an old school screensaver - very nice touch!

    Not just speed nerfing. The cars now are ~50% larger than they used to be, while the tracks haven't gotten any wider. As a result, there's hardly any overtaking unless an egregious mistake is made. The lame solution they have to t

    My current approach to this on my GrapheneOS phone is to use GpsLogger, writing to a directory that uses Syncthing-Fork to regularly send data to a computer at home. If the phone is lost I open the gpx files in Dawarich. Pretty elaborate cl

    Yeah something is completely broken with American gyms. I tell everyone to avoid them and especially the private trainers they let patrol their floors. There's other ways to maintain fitness than risk being held ransom.

    Whoa. I've never heard anyone put the flow state in this category. On the one hand, it sounds preposterous - a bit like saying you're addicted to consciousness, or meditation. On the other, I can relate to how my enjoyment and pur

    Being liable for preauthorized charges sounds reasonable to me unless we're talking about an expanding use of preauthorization into areas it wasn't used before. It's rare for me to encounter this apart from hotels, car rental
