   Bleh. I still get through for now. I'll be sorry when I need to go find an alternative, because I don't know of another that works as reliably as archive[.ph|.is|.today] for me currently

   Yeah, that's what it'd probably take.

   I think I've seen all of his stealth camp episodes, and they've only been outside airports. (Once outdoors, once in a parking lot.) I think a lot of the humor would be lost because he couldn't get his camp stove in to cook. O

   I really hope he brings them back for a follow-up now that it's settled. (And I've requested it on fedi.)

   The significant difference is that if it were placed into DFU mode and connected to an appropriate device that had access to appropriately signed things, it could be "unbricked" without replacing the mainboard.

   I don't know about categories overall, but I'm attached to my iPad and won't switch to Android in part because Affinity is not available there, nor is there any near equivalent as far as I can tell. I still think Overcast is

   I love the IBM aesthetic on the card artwork.

    It absolutely does! I like the addition of the thing to read (in the case of the book) or the thing to look at (usually a funny or interesting picture in the case of the greeting card) but I agree that the purchased thing is not truly neces

    I've started sending paperbacks instead of greeting cards when someone I know needs a get-well-soon card. In stores around here, greeting cards are often $7ish + postage. I can frequently ship a paperback with a gift receipt for $5 tot

    I mostly use git from the terminal, but the goodness of the IntelliJ UI for cherry-picking changes is one of the things that has me maintaining my toolbox subscription. Also, IdeaVim is a really solid vim implementation, IMO.

    That is beautifully ridiculous! Thank you for doing that and sharing.

    I appreciate the clarity, anyway. I will wait and see how intrusive the AI focus turns out to be. If it turns out to be very intrusive, I guess I'll use Clion for my platformio stuff: https://www.jetbrains.com/help&#x2F

    This is a good idea, and one I've wanted to build out myself. I think I need source to review before I'm willing to use this one, though.

    Interesting. I know I'm not a very demanding user of word processing or presentation software. But I've been using zoho for basic business stuff for one of my businesses since 2019, and I wouldn't call it crap. It's not

    That depends on your workload. I've been using Excel since 1993, and I find the things I've listed help me get things done just as well as Excel does, unless I have a pile of macros and vbscript I need to interop with. This is not

    Probably. I meant "perpetual" as opposed to "subscription" but I agree with your concern.

    Have you tried grist[0]? It's self-hostable (and the community version is FOSS I think), and really useful in a way I find better than just a spreadsheet. It's no good for importing complex excel things, but I've found it ver

    For legacy spreadsheets, you're 100% correct. I'll need to keep a version of Excel around forever. If they price me out of 365 by making me pay for Copilot shit I don't use or want, a perpetual license to Office 2019 runs abo

    All of the descriptions on that reading list give me strong LLM vibes. Which, given the source, seems like it should be expected. This post could have stopped after hypothesis 1.

    That... looks like it would let me do this exactly the way I want to for npm and python. For my C++ stuff, it's all vendored and manual anyway. I had not seen that tool. Thanks for pointing it out.
