The moral here is: If you don’t need dynamic content you shouldn’t be paying for a traditional web host.

Last time (2022) Dreamhost bumped their price for web+email hosting I couldn’t find any better options. This year they bumped again, up to $170/yr. I moved email to Purelymail for $10 and web stuff to Cloudflare Pages.. for FREE!? And moved domains to Cloudflare for half what DH was charging. 😮

I recently learned about George Washington’s “Letter To the Hebrew Congregation in Newport, Rhode Island,” and, wow, it’s quite the unequivocal endorsement of pluralism and religious liberty.

YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH

enclose.horse A puzzle game about enclosing horses.

This game has a daily challenge now, and it's often genuinely tricky. Highly recommend adding it to your list of morning puzzles. (You do have a list of morning puzzles, right?)

but leave cross stitch style as an option or easter egg!

I'm writing to you regarding the ongoing abuse fostered by the X and Grok apps, available in your App Store. I'm sure you're well aware of which particular problem I'm talking about — frankly, it's so awful that I hesitate to even describe it in polite terms. You should remove this app from your store, cease to advertise on their platform, and look to distance your business from theirs in every possible way. This is imperative for moral reasons; your own Legal department can advise you why it may also be so for defensive ones. I've been a developer in Apple's ecosystem for twenty years. I have an Apple Design Award, and l've contributed to many projects that have received that award, as well as other forms of recognition by Apple. Today, I'm embarrassed to even say so. It is not a badge of honor, I assure you. In those two decades, I've seen a number of apps and projects get shut down, publicly criticized, and legislated against by Apple, for infractions ranging from minor IP violations to dubious security concerns, or plain arbitrary judgment calls made by your employees. It's often been frustrating, which is understandable - running a business is hard. It is not so hard that you must wring your hands on the issue of X and their disgusting behavior. Apple has often made a decisive stand on ethical matters, and never has the answer been clearer than on this. You know what the right move here is: remove the app now. Your company is strong enough that you can take whatever monetary or PR repercussions you fear. If you choose not to do this, please think about every real, living human being whose abuse you are supporting. I mean truly, actually try to embody their pain and anxiety. I hope you do the obvious thing here.

As cynical as I am about this, I emailed Tim Cook today. Maybe someone will read it… and feel something? Anything?

Okay I can stop now

man. I thought this was going to be like a jigsaw puzzle where it goes faster at the end but it was exactly the opposite. I was having fun getting everything in order until I had about a page left of random crap, spent an hour clicking at random to get it finished 😩

Kid slept until 11 then asked for Swedish meatballs for breakfast. They probably don’t go for turkey meatballs in Sweden, but it’s what we had on hand. #breakfastforcora

The 25 Best Games Of 2025, Ranked Inverse has been hard at work trying out new games. Some games did not outlast their hype, while others proved themselves to be worthy of our highest praise.

Well I certainly look forward to the guy’s next scathing takedown of Larry the Cable Guy

and god, sorry for picking your post to rando reply out of all these awful posts it's just I've never seen so many people so excited about turning a cartoon character into the worst person on earth. Not even gonna try untangling the "accepting differences" irony here

"I'd like a cup of coffee."
"Espresso? Americano? Drip? What size? Venti? Grande?"

The comic is an exaggeration of this, but it's 100% real. Not wanting to learn how to speak Starbucks isn't the same as not wanting to accept other people's differences.

because he'd take it as a compliment

Congrats! Hopefully you landed in a place run by sane people, for a change

Great example of the Priming Effect here. The beginning of the sentence activates neural pathways that lead you to misread the end as “saturated farts”.

Remember when XML was an amazing new technology that was going to revolutionize everything?

For a bit, or?

Tip for doing manual labor in hot climates I discovered last week: Weigh yourself before and after so you know how much water you need to drink for recovery. I came home four pounds lighter after loading a dumpster in 100 degree weather last week 😮

oops thought this was Mastodon

Well I for one am looking forward to liquid glass. It’s really going to make up for the fact that apple’s apps crash all the damn time now
