Two things can be true at once: 1. Substack can be trying to mine the follower graph from Twitter in order to bootstrap its upcoming twitter-clone, and Twitter can object to this and try to block Substack from doing it whether by API or dir

It used to, but a few years ago (2019 I think?) they changed so that it's a properly separate display. The only thing you can't do is separately play audio from the phone (because the CarPlay unit is basically serving as its outpu

That works pretty poorly for B5 unless you've got someone willing to do some hardcore editing for you, because there's so many cases where you should really watch, say, just the C-plot for a given episode even though the A/

I have a Honda Fit, and in my (urban) area it's a super-common car. It's great! It's cheap, apparently pretty reliable, fits well into streets, and has a surprisingly large amount of cargo space when needed. It's why it&

ADHD aside, there's a reason that (prolonged) solitary confinement is widely viewed as torture. (Obviously it makes a difference if you're voluntarily doing it to yourself and could stop at any moment.) https://news.un.

They said why: because Starbucks holds the lease on the space. Just because the space is now empty, so long as Starbucks is paying their rent nobody else can take it. That does cost them money, but if we assume they're fucking with the

Definitely a pain if you're trying to teach it in a sentence-diagramming kind of way. That said, I kind of wonder why you'd be bothering to do that unless the kids are literally not able to understand what's being said and yo

The Apple Silicon models will probably also benefit from being the first(?) ones to run their entire life with Apple's new optimized charging behavior. E.g. my laptop spends most of its life plugged in running a display, and so it has

I wouldn't call that "Apple's own" cable. That's a third-party cable that they sell in their store, and is notably more expensive than their own officially-branded cables. (That said, I do agree that their branded c

I think you can use something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Satechi-4-Port-USB-C-Hub-Compatible/d... ...albeit it'll only do data, and won't let you do P/D or video. My impression is that the cheap-h

Eh. I think that a lot of people who you see draping themselves in the flag of free speech just want their own viewpoints to be the privileged ones while they suppress the speech of others. E.g. in the US most of the "free speech&quo

At a level where we could say they're "fake" and "the enemy of the people"? I'm skeptical.

I don't think that changes anything about what I said. He's still explicitly saying that a large percentage of the media is an enemy of the people.

In the tweet that got a lot of attention, what he said was "It is the FAKE NEWS, which is a large percentage of the media, that is the enemy of the people!"[1]. That "a large percentage" bit, along with how he fairly-com

Well, then you'll just tap it in the same place that you'd tap your credit card. ;) I.e. less-snarkily, nothing about that complaint relates to Apple Pay, just to how contactless payments work in general, whether they're from

Might make sense to change the title? It's making a claim that the website itself doesn't -- it just says "Desktop system for creators with a focus on simplicity, elegance, and usability. Based on FreeBSD. Less, but better!&q

Sure, but in terms of how a non-technical user feels, I suspect that "it's still there, but trust me that nobody can access it" isn't as comforting as it just not being there at all. Thus an incentive exists.

There's the incentive of "I'm confident that all my private data isn't on this machine any more", which I think matters.

Sorry, I misinterpreted you -- I thought you were talking about gating features to specific clients. :D

Oh, I didn't mean letting the clients support them, I meant making the clients support them and feature them how Twitter wanted them to. E.g. if they wanted to change the notifications defaults everywhere to showing the "verifie

The absence of ad-tweets inserted into the API feed with an API term of "you must display these or we'll ban your app" was always weird. That said, I bet that the real thing they want is the control to be able to push the Twi
