I thought the same. I had no idea there was a special cloth in the box. I'll have to dig it up and search for it. It sounds like a quality microfiber cloth is still fine though.

It still exists. I'm currently paying for the ad free add on and often cancel and resubscribe to it before I'm about to watch anything. Annoyingly though, even with that, it'll sti…

Their business model is already in line with my values. I give them money and in exchange I get an ad-free experience. They don't need to change.

I also back people on patreon. Isn't it irrational to expect something for free? If you don't like the service or it doesn't align with your values, simply don't use it. Also, isn'…

Because I want to actually support content creators. I also want it to be more normalized to pay for things vs having ad supported content.

I'm pretty happy paying for things I like. Solid explorer is a great file manager for Android that I also pay for.

Generally you can exchange some amount of money in return for not seeing ads...

Think of it like DataDog 2.0: https://devnull-as-a-service.com/

What is slow about them? I've never had issues with my ultra and frequently stream 4K HDR content. I have not found a good reason to upgrade to Google TV and prefer the cast-only b…

This post made me wonder whether they quietly removed the feature. It's still there though. All my uploaded music from the Google music days is still there and there is still an op…

I'm not sure what I'm missing out on by not using VSCode. LSP support in Sublime is quite good now and there are still tons of extensions. A built-in debugger is probably the bigge…

They've been making me take my mask off for precheck still at SFO and LAX.

https://github.com/sublimelsp/LSP with https://github.com/sublimelsp/LSP-typescript works pretty well for me. They are also both being actively maintained. It'd be nice if it was b…

I've been using ChromeOS as my primary OS for a couple years now (though, not sure I'd be willing to use it for work just yet). The officially supported Linux container integration…

I've been a huge fan of lazygit. You can even do side-by-side diffing if you combine it with the "delta" pager. For me, it feels really similar to "gitx", which was mac only and st…

I got a few "Won't you get bored" or "I'd get bored" comments before I started my career break. I honestly don't understand it. I like software engineering (despite burning out), b…

I'll add that one thing is for sure: it took a while, but I've slowly started to feel like my old self again -- or at least the self I want to be. I'm also infinitely more relaxed …

Wow, I have not really been keeping track, but this post made me realize I'm now almost a year into my career break (and now about four months into my road trip of mostly camping).…

I wonder if this is why LastPass is down. It has completely locked me out of my vault. You'd think it'd continue to work offline in a case like this. :/

I've become more and more content/happy with not having any particular grand goals. Taking an extended career break right now (currently doing a six month US road trip) and not rea…

Why not a satalite messenger? I'm doing a lot of solo travel in remote areas with limited to no cell service. My Inreach Mini pairs to my phone and then I can text whomever I want …

I like your blue color! Also, I feel like dark mode becomes more awkward to do if your sites uses a less traditional color scheme. I'm like you, and decided I like my desert theme …

ChromeOS's Linux support is even more streamlined than Windows's approach. You enable it, the container is automatically created (though, it is possible to install other distros --…

How does having the "BSD Zero Clause" with your content work? I open sourced my blog's software, but I still keep all the actual content in a separate private repo, since I don't w…
