Feel like the solution to this problem is probably to offer an app that turns magic links into notifications. As well as to probably untether the magic link from the cookie in the browser, so that you are not required to hit the magic link

Did we really need to research this? An early televised documentary series, The Flintstones, made this clear more than 60 years ago.

Just because you don't know what the hell you're talking about doesn't mean you have to take it out on me.

It has to be AMD specifically, with some cards working better than others. Really old Nvidia cards work if you’re willing to go all the way back to High Sierra, though I haven’t tested it with this specific setup. Intel iGPUs work on bare m

Oh, almost forgot, I actually wrote about my process getting this set up about six months ago: https://tedium.co/2024/04/08/hackintosh-proxmox-vm-experienc... On top of the GPU, I pass through a USB-C card. I

Yes, this is correct. There seem to be a lot of people confused about the benefit of this in the thread, but it’s very simple: This tool exists essentially as a replacement for doing a full Hackintosh build of a system. You install Proxmox

Because I can manage it in a relatively understandable web interface and not have to deal with a bunch of config files. It's also significantly easier than Hackintoshing the machine, which is what I did previously. I see you're a

It’s much less of a pain when passthrough is involved, FWIW.

I use this script on my Z420 with a Xeon and RX570 GPU (which I use to access Mac-specific apps remotely). It works really well. Excellent script, though I can’t go above Monterey with it, because of CPU limitations on the Xeon.

You're removing a lot more than filler with this kind of tool. It's sort of like taking a journey but not bothering to enjoy the trip.

That folks think it’s an MBA that benefits from building a sustainable media business and not the people who work there, who get paychecks and better resourcing, is one of the great misunderstandings of the journalism business and the reaso

It’s because I’m a nerd with a background in journalism, and have been around the realities of a lot of this stuff for a while.

This is a good way to put it. Honestly, it sounds like they have a messaging challenge that they need to solve around this.

I worked at a number of free tabloid newspapers in my day (one small-town exurban, one mid-sized car-centric metro area, one metro area where most people took public transit) and I will say that most people did not do this. Usually they jus

My guess is that some of those ads bring in so much money that covering them with an ad-free model would lead to a cost that they feel is prohibitively expensive. There may be ad agreements that preempt their ability to offer ad-free at thi

Gonna be straight up with you: I feel like you would have never thought about this had they not mentioned it, because so few media outlets are even thinking about reducing ad load for paid subscribers. As someone in media, I’m tired of well

Intriguing. I know the German media market is very different from the American one—back in my D.C. days, when I was still at the WaPo Express, I met a German journalist who was working in the U.S. and I remember her explaining to me how dif

I am not missing the point. Rather, the point is so small as to not be financially worth it for them. I am saying that The Verge made a business decision to balance ad load and subscriber cost to potentially bring in more subscribers. They

Stances like this probably feel good to write out, but they miss the reality that when running a media business, relying on one revenue stream is dangerous. That’s why newspapers had classified ads, even though they charged a nominal fee to

Not bad. Solves a problem. I’m sticking with Plausible but if I was stuck with GA4 I would definitely use this. You should consider a self-hosted option with a one-time payment.

This is cool, but feel like a microscope museum should be small enough to fit on a single pane of glass that you can zoom in on.

Ghost is Node-based, so no PHP. (Shouldn’t functionally matter much as it’s designed in a way that you don’t need to mess in the code once you have everything set.) Not sure about your install process, but make sure your routes.yaml is prop

I gave October a pretty serious look about five or six years ago. I like the fact that you can code in the interface, which can feel more friendly than competing platforms. But I thought the community hadn’t reached a level of scale that I

Thanks to Kye for pointing this out to me. Honestly, you’re actually not going to find much better for a simple multi-user setup than Ghost. It may have a lot of features built around newsletters and analytics that you’re not using, but the

Citing a litany of stuff that happened as far back as 15 years ago and raised alarm bells way back when is a sign that the governance model of Wikimedia works, not that it’s broken. Governance is not about bad things happening; it’s about h

Humbly suggest you’re wrong. EDIT: Rather than drive-by disagreement, my case is that MJML is highly flexible and has broad enough use at this point that it’s seeing pickup in mainstream clients. (I like what Keila[1] is doing.) From a crea

The linked video offers the full context: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnI-QcVSwMU (Relevant section starting around 10:14) I think he’s using this as one prominent example of overall harm to the space.
