Haha I grew up in one, and you can’t make me go back

This guy sounds like quite a character! Whether they compete directly or not, sounds like a fun company to follow. Thanks for looping me in!

I was really excited to read that a company (Rocket Lab) wants to compete with SpaceX and Bezos, but their problem is that the founder looks like Syndrome from the Incredibles.

(It's a total non issue, but it's an uncanny resemblance for sure)

I’m so happy to be wrong! Thank you for the details

I want to leave Google Photos.

The one feature I can’t give up? My wife and I have a setup that auto shares photos of each other and our kids. If I had that somewhere else I would switch. Ente is so close!

I'm not going to lie, it's also hilarious given that if you take the White House tour today, and look at the artwork on the walls, there are a bunch of historic gold-framed paintings. Next to them are plain canvas prints of Trump with a flag painted on his face.

@ente.io I have a question maybe you can help with. The "killer feature" for photos apps for us is auto-sharing photos with a family member in them. If, say, my wife and I both use Ente, and want to auto-share albums of pictures we take with the other in them, can that be done with Ente?

There are only two kinds of books: those that start with a map, and those that don't.

Thank you!

Seems to check all the boxes:

- For a great cause
- Sparks great conversation
- Can be read by my 6 year old
- Good build
- Possibly screen printed by Australian break dancers???

Wait is this an official tshirit? I didn't know it existed and now I want it so badly

It took several minutes to find you on that wall.

Enjoy the holiday!

That's unfortunate! I have only read a few of yours, and it was my favorite. I remember loving the character development during the story.

I forgot to send to remind my children that it's St Patrick's day, so they all have gone to school without wearing green. I'm afraid they may not come back in one piece.

Apparently Magpies and Crows Are Using "Anti-Bird Spikes" to Make Their Nests Birds often incorporate human-made materials while nest building, but a new study shows European corvids are taking the idea to the extreme.

This is my favorite article from the week. So many lolz

Lots of the posts online are so bad in this area - they seem to think I can send soup in my kids lunch box. They don't have a microwave! Their lunchbox has to be able to go upside down and not ooze their lunch out!

For the last few years, my kids have packed their own lunches. Lately they've grown tired of it.

In an effort to give them a change, I've offered to make their lunches.

So lesson learned - hazelnut coffee is for people who taste black coffee and their thought is "I wish that tasted more burnt"

Well, it strikes me that I've been pretty quiet on social media for a while.

To be honest, at times, I've wondered why I should even post. I feel like social media contains so many words, so much content, that surely nobody wants to read what I have to say, right?

Oh well, one must try.

This holds up. I had to re-read the last 50 pages of IF, and I still was a little lost at a few moments at the beginning of OS. OS picks up almost like a continuation (which is fine!) but unlike TV, there's no "last time on Fourth Wing"

Ok, for context did you scream into the void at the end of IF?

I'm starting Onyx Storm today - my partner got our copy last night at a book event!

I'd love to see this one in person. It's cute, but 166" is really short! (I think 2 feet shorter than our Model Y)

I've been lurking around on Bluesky for about two months now and have all but entirely left X. I should probably start posting on here.

I'll probably post about software engineering, tech, local NC issues, climate change, and probably other stuff too.

I don't just love that he's doing it, but I love _why_ he's doing it, and _why_ he chose those specific organizations. Such a great example
