Speak for yourself. I pay for Blue and I'm not embarrassed about it. I would rather pay for a service that I like and see fewer ads; maybe someday there will be an option to get rid of all the ads?

These days, I use Twitter more than ever. I pay for Blue, and the only thing I'd like to see is editable replies and a way to make sure I don't see political ads.

The current focus you have sounds an awful lot like what the founders of Pragli (later renamed to Pesto) were trying to address. It just shut down recently. https://twitter.com/PestoHQ When they began in 2019, they reached

Years ago, Greenspan sued one of my friends (@WholeMarsBlog on Twitter) out of sheer spite. Greenspan is a well-known Tesla shortseller with a chip on his shoulder. When I saw this headline I just rolled my eyes; this will get thrown out.

Please have compassion for those harmed by what is by nearly all accounts a heartless, unaccountable institution. My comment is not substantially about taxes at all, and I mention that as a remedy knowing full well that the chances of it co

SolveSpace is an alien artifact. I can safely say that because I've spent months working on it, porting it to Haiku OS. It is validating to know that this phenomenon is real enough to justify a name for it! https://github.co

I had an incredibly bad experience going through public schools in Mount Horeb, Wisconsin in the 1980s and 90s. I did my best to hide it, but I began suffering from gender dysphoria starting at age 7. I was known by my classmates as the wei

But I don't think about COBOL at all, and neither should you. The problems that legacy banks, airlines and government institutions have are not my problems. The management class doesn't want to hear this. Their only goal is to low

Have you actually watched the talk, or are you just giving us yet another ad for Rust? cfront helps C++ developers switch from less-strict C++ to a much safer, much improved syntax known as cpp2 , which may in the future become part of t

Whoa cool! Medo is awesome! Thanks! I'm working on a port of Solvespace to Haiku. My goal is ultimately to give it a native UI and some new features, but I'm still early in the process. The latest thing I got working was some pixe

The thing I like about it is that it is the easiest thing to switch to. It provides the path of least resistance for my existing workflows, and that alone is reason enough for cpp2 to win.

Just watch what happens to Google and their ad revenues in this downturn, by the way. I knew people that were hyping Fuschia, and then Google cut deepest from that on their first round of layoffs. It wouldn't be a shock to me if they y

Russia is a mostly flat country with very few natural barriers to invasion, such as mountains or large bodies of water. It has nine gaps through which other countries can invade. For Russia, this entire conflict is about halting NATO expans

First, take some basic, low-cost precautions to protect your body. I bought a radiation dosimeter (GQ GMC-500Plus) as well as some iodine tablets. I also have several jugs of water, large bags of rice and beans, a few paper books and basic

The coffee damage was the last straw. I was fighting the language (Swift), the lack of documentation (WWDC videos are not a substitute for documentation), and the general lack of any attention paid toward the needs of small app developers.

I put up all my code. I wonder why I'm getting downvoted? And how is Apple ever going to change if no one makes a credible competing open solution? I believe Haiku is going to get a lot more popular with creators. Unlike Linux, no corp
