The number one reason I wear an Apple Watch all summer is the UV index complication. If the number is at 4 and trending down I let the kids run free.

I just listened to an interview with Carl Trueman about his new book which criticizes transhumanism.

This is funded by the mushroom dispensary stores operating in the open in Vancouver. LSD is very low risk for adulterants, partly because it’s cheap to produce and is somewhat sepa…

Also check Reduce Motion and the whole OS will feel more stable even if it’s only an illusion.

It makes sense when you realize that the US has a similar scope and a larger number of states in it than Europe did at the time. Analogies between the United States and specific st…

Canada. But there aren't that many of us, and the absolute number and political units also matter if you care about warming as a practical problem. There are two interesting things…

All of Alberta was ceded to the crown through the numbered treaties prior to the establishment of the province. Are you implying that there’s something about treaty 8 that makes it…

It’s fun to rewatch Days of Heaven once you’ve unlocked that each of the main characters is tied to a different element (earth, wind, fire, and water). That he could employ such a …

I saw it in the theatre and “what sort of animal is man?” has been one of my stock phrases ever since.

I love it too, I actually decided to never read the book because all the book readers I have talked to hated it. Highly recommend the upscaled to 4k fan edit on YouTube. They splic…

This sounds intriguing. Of note for anyone with an audible membership: The Goal is in the free library.

Labour won a majority of the seats but barely increased their percentage of the vote (33.7%) over what they managed in the previous election when they lost handily (32.1%). It was …

I was going to do the same thing. I posted elsewhere on this thread how the third party app Clic for Sonos has saved me. Might be worth a try before you go through the expense of c…

The debacle caused me to try out all the third party apps and I finally found Clic (iOS only), which is made by an indie developer and implements lots of modern stuff that the offi…

I don’t understand this sort of comment. The warning windows aren’t “huge”. In practice is clicking through the dialog any more cumbersome than typing sudo and entering your passwo…

I’m curious if simply running the proton mail bridge on a Mac at home would allow the native mail app feed “semantic” context across devices to iOS.

I already linked to this article on Advanced Data Protection for iCloud (e2ee for most things) in a different comment, but it feels like a lot of people don’t know about this featu…

> Apple is very intrusive > Apple uses your data. > they do other things too, a different way What specifically do you mean? Their frankly quite paranoid security and privacy white…

Vancouver until fairly recently had the same thing. I remember a hostel downtown that had a boisterous bar where one side had the license and one side didn’t for some arcane reason…

Can’t you just use a mouse and keyboard as controllers? It’s hard to imagine any hardware peripheral that would improve on them for making a keynote or we’d already be using it on …

That’s a really great endorsement. I had Zinsser as a textbook for a non-fiction creative writing class in university. It was one of the only textbooks I never had a compunction to…

Link aggregators was what site like this, digg, and reddit were called when they started. They introduced a social aspect for upvoting content into a dynamic feed. It’s something m…

Signal runs on donations with a small staff and budget, and even still half of its infrastructure budget goes to sending a verification SMS on sign-up. You can run an open chat net…

Microsoft barely got a slap on the wrist from the DoJ in the end. Market competition from Firefox, Opera, Safari, and Chrome, along with industry and cultural support for browser s…

“DOS ain’t done til Lotus won’t run” Whether that was ever fully policy at Microsoft, people sure believed it was. 1995 was also around the time MS was pursing its embrace-extend-e…
