Brave on iOS seems to work well. Ideally I would use Firefox on iOS but last time it didn’t seem to be as good.

I think people have no handle on what years and decades of life lost to prison means. The numbers are just abstract to them.

What is the aggressive mindeset of Bluesky? I have both Mastondon and Bluesky accounts and in my experience I find Bluesky is just simpler to use which attracted more of the types of accounts I wanted to follow. Nothing aggressive about tha

Love this. It's not obvious from the UI but you can enter small mass changes and watch things slowly fall apart. E.g. 1.0001 will work even though the UI displays 1.0 after you hit enter.

According to this interview [1] and a recent Economist podcast blackouts were a huge driver of the decision of those that could afford it to go for solar and batteries. Now the utilities are in a death spiral. Customers disconnect, prices r

I totally agree. I wasn't explicit enough I just wanted to point out the absurdity of the major corps not bothering to just automatically fund these things. I.e. it being such a small amount compared to salaries which presumably are lo

Another vote for Fork here. Used to use many different UI clients, including ST and Tower but left Tower for Fork. I still add P4 Merge as my external merge tool though. It seems to have the best algorithm and often solves conflicts automat

This is excellent advice and a nice (theoretical at least) example of why protests and actions that don't necessarily "fix" an issue directly are important and not (necessarily) an ego trip for the protestors.

You can even install a different OS! This is Apple weaponising Trump's animosity towards the EU, imo. I hope the EU does not waver.

People keep describing Trump as transactional. He doesn't appear to be anything of the sort. He's vain, impulsive, inconsistent, impetuous, mean, and never holds up his end of a bargain. Definitely not transactional.

I implemented the full XPath and XSLT language with debugging capabilities for a company I used to work for some 25ish years ago. It was fun (until XPath and XSLT 2. Well that was fun too but because of nice work colleague not the language)

Yes, economic metrics can be reductive. E.g. believing GDP is a measure of well being is a common reductive mistake. However, the public are often wildly incorrect. I should have been more precise and said that in order to have a productive
