Days like today I get why @bsky.app is struggling with adoption. Sorry if you have your reasons, but two factor authentication can bite me if I can’t rely on it. Having to fetch from email, copy, paste instead of being like any other that works well for Apple user feels backwards.

Have you played the original virtual boy? Headaches were a given, possibly lasting days. But that it could overheat to the point of being a fire hazard at the same time was, wow! And the neck and more strain. I liked the games, it was fun. But I think I've more digits than hours in due to the issues

Way you phrase it makes it sound like this was legal, because others were worse. Or, look this is fine because others are doing worse!

You do you. The...Camera button on the newer phones was a big enough draw for me, for my needs. Definitely looking forward to the folding iPhones, should manage something like a mini for casual use and tablet for extended with newer features.

A developer turned Wikipedia into a social media-style feed Lyra Rebane's Xikipedia is perhaps a healthier alternative to doomscrolling.

Heavy and high costs are the main reason the Apple Vision Pro feels like it has to skip the fitness market. Continue to like to see how the technology evolves, and wonder if it will reach a point where it is an ok fit for me.

Every Washingtonian should visit claimyourcash.org to see if you have funds waiting to be claimed. Last year, our Department of Revenue returned $182 million.

On Unclaimed Property Day today, we want to get your money back into your pocket.

I think you incidentally just explained why those coins are so popular on Amazon lately. Dog whistling to see who else has the same shared ethos.

I enjoy how it is spun as a war for age verification, doesn’t seem to fit.

'The UK war on VPNs is an embarrassment' – backlash grows over proposed VPN age-checks Critics are warning against proposals to restrict VPN access β€” but will the plans actually become law?

The failure of age-verification laws is now turning into a War on VPNs. The British government and a number of US states are now proposing that VPNs be banned entirely, or only accessible to those who have surrendered to facial scans, ID check and other identity verification.

The sort of thing I daydream on a color eink screen. BOOX Palma Pro 2 potential, but more as a pocket sized tablet than a full on phone replacement.

At a glance, feels safer than a single stairwell. Imagining falling from one onto the other.

Night owls do better, when the hours they need to be awake or asleep line up for them. Sure, that’s less daylight savings than, say, work hours.

Use Real Time! Permanent Standard Time approximates natural solar time, for best sleep and circadian health. Ditch Daylight Saving Time!

Call me crazy, but if we wanted a fair tax system then taxpayers wouldn't pay the feds: they would pay their state who would remit to the feds. That way if a state wanted to, say, cut costs and send a tax bill that can be contested, instead of relying on people to pay third parties, they could.

Not for me. More expensive design with increased risk of failure. Neat for those who need more screens in their lives.

Maybe, just maybe, Nintendo saw the potential for very high demand (see their hesitation on presale prices), and to maximize throughput for the least cost and lower demand, they went with generic colors at launch.

@malcolmowen.bsky.social having read your article on desk set up, deeply amused about the cats singing the song of their people. I’ve been using that description for years, always felt right for animals.

Solar and wind are things that strike me as important not merely for energy, but for independence: this opens up more need to rely on technology to mitigate side effects of other energy sources while also having to import more.
