There are some awesome independent tools to get files on the device via the web. Try https://send.djazz.se/ But you’re right. Via email is easy. And I’m mostly thinking of epubs/mobi — but drm free.

Exactly? I may not want a site to have my location now, but I may be okay with it in the future. Eg, I’m not in a place where I want my location tagged at the moment.

The author stated that a sign should be BEFORE the end of the lane. When riding, it's not clear that your lane will all of a sudden disappear so that you have time to slow down and change 'modes'. That wouldn't be allo

Isn't "good enough" the definition of "bare minimum"? That aligns pretty well with "doesn't care"

I hate that the options when faced with a location permissions request is "block" or "allow". why isnt ignore an option?? Block adds the site to a discrete local list which i dont need recorded on my computer...

So far, Kobos are the way better option in my opinion. No ads, and it's much easier to add your own books. It's (currently) a much more open system. But, not without fault. They've shut down some older readers for no good rea

Hey now, you can pay extra for "McDonald's without ads" like you can with Netflix or Amazon Prime or Disney okay.

I thought my over-the-top response made it clear it was satire and a comment on the absurdity of someone thinking they're "actually friends with Brad Pitt and he needs my money"

I think that’s what was implied. Canada “got rid of” the $1000 bill but it’s still legal tender. Canada also got rid of the penny, but it remains legal tender. Banks will take them if vendors don’t.

I thought you were kidding. > Qantas says it has been forced to delay several of its flights to South Africa at the last minute due to warnings of falling debris from Elon Musk’s SpaceX rockets re-entering Earth. Leading paragraph.

As someone who is actually friends with Brad Pitt on Facebook and have given him money, it’s because he wants to know that he’s still a normal person. He wants to connect with real people. He’s tired of the Hollywood world. And he also says

Why is software the place where a company can get away with this shit? “Your car will no longer run on standard 87 octane gasoline after October 14 due to a software update”

There’s value to users in using a service that’s the same as the software. Trust is worth it to consumers. It’s why many still prefer to take their cars to the dealer rather than an Indy shop

That’s a brilliant snapshot. Thanks for sharing. It also really shows the value of things like archive.org — this context would otherwise be lost if a site disappears. It’s also inspiring to see how Ben handled most of the comments/cri

What does the DOT even do? Why do we allow stupid brake/turn signal combos that can be ambiguous for way too long when making quick decisions. (Was that a brake light? Flashing brake light? Turning?)
