    wow... yeah... strongly strongly agree. I love email, rss, irc, etc and still use them today and strongly disagree that we shouldn't educate people coming up about these tools.

    Heavy compose user here, and when I tried the podman equivalent of compose was missing some functionality that made me move back.

    Have to agree. 280 characters is not that much better than 140, and what good ideas are compressed into that format. Sure you can link to a blog post, but then you might as well us…

    Agree with this and this is why everytime I see people suggesting some project should be moved from being hosted on a mailing list to github, I roll my eyes

    Definitely agree with this. Twitter and other social media has really forced the short 140 character snippet or image to be favored over thoughtful posts and blog articles.

    The cloud is just another backup option and you should have 3. That being said, you expect more from a paid service.

    and let's not forget the touch bar.... Urgh. Still holding onto my 2015 MacBook from work and hoping it never dies.
