    There has been more pushback on car screens over the past couple of years, and the optimist in me hopes this leads to change. With enough pushback, manufacturers will have to liste…

    I preordered a 13 Pro with Ryzen, which I'm already very excited about. Reading between the lines of your video announcement, though, it seems like the Intel experience might be mo…

    For me, this was an immediate buy. Everything about this is what I've been looking for in a Linux laptop. (Also, how refreshing is it to not have to think hard about how much RAM y…

    Apple’s music has mostly been DRM-free since 2009! I love this about Apple and give them as much of my business I can to show that there is still a healthy market outside streaming…

    > It behooves you to not write like that if you don’t want people dehumanizing you. I have to strongly disagree with you on this. It behooves us (as a species) not to degrade our o…

    I think we'll have to disagree on that. Humans write that way, too, and they've written that way for far longer than AI. (Where do you think AI picked up its writing habits from?)

    This has been the first year in a very long time that I’ve thought about leaving macOS. They seem to have lost the plot on software and documentation. It might be nice for someone …

    This is, without hyperbole, the most exciting tech announcement I've read this year. I really hope something comes of it. Motorola: Please double down on this and make mobile tech …

    I would say that using a lot of em-dashes was always bad writing. You want to use them sparingly if you want them to have impact. That said, yes, keep using them (and using them we…

    I self-host forgejo but still want a way to publish open-source. I've been using GitHub for this and didn't realize that codeberg.org was an option. Glad to see them getting the pr…
