I've been with Fastmail for almost 10 years now. No fuss, just works, good price for what they deliver. Never had any issues.

Glad it's not just me thinking that. The amount of UI bugs I encountered in the last few macOS versions is fairly annoying. Very often, when I switch input keyboards between Englis…

I have no idea what they can even do at this point. I have young Japanese friends (early 20s) and they all tell me the same thing: the cost of raising a child is too high in Japan …

if you bothered to read past the title: > The 2024 figure is a 5 per cent drop from the previous year and the lowest since records began during Japan’s Meiji era in 1899.

That's not going away at all though. But I am glad we now have more paid options available. Tooling is important and people that do good work should be able to charge for high qual…

That looks pretty handy! I’m learning mandarin at the moment and that would be super useful

why shouldn't they? they had to take the time to make the app and get it up on the App Store. it's totally fair to charge for work you've done. the fact it's simple is irrelevant. …

Does anyone understand what a channel file is? Some sort of patch/dll that a driver loads?

MS could've leaned more towards user-space kernel drivers though. Apple has been going in that direction for a while and I haven't seem much of that (if anything) coming from MS. T…

I really wanted to like open library but last time I tried it (over a year ago tbf), the UI was extremely slow and frustrating to use. I just gave up and started tracking things in…

That would actually be seriously cool though. Even with a full-sized VR headset I'd be willing to spring for it.

Yeah, they somewhat hinted at it in their WWDC announcement about private AI. They are running models on apple hardware. If you look up their jobs portal you can see some roles tha…

the book is free to read online

Can't praise Casey's course enough!

None. Just schedule the work you need to do and have some standards for yourself and keep working on it. If you feel tired after a while you can train yourself to push through it i…

At some point I realized that it is okay to drop a book I started reading. If it turns out to be boring or not meeting whatever expectations I had, I just ditch it and move on.

That’s interesting. I went through that book not that long ago and I found it fascinating. I had a hard time putting it down. I found that the concepts he covers in that book can e…

I’m not saying I believe $12 is good value. It’s not a matter of opinion. It’s just a fact. Similar forms of entertainment cost the same. You’re the one with the subjective opinion…

I am not. The EU’s move is to force Meta to stop personalised ads and Meta is pushing for an ad-free option. That’s an attempt to appease the regulators and keep their business mod…

Sure you don’t NEED meta. But it still offers value to their users. Regardless of their “addictive” design, you can’t deny that people want what they (and other social media) offer…

Here you go: https://edpb.europa.eu/news/news/2023/edpb-urgent-binding-de...

New EU regulation is forcing Meta to offer users an ad-free alternative. That’s why they are doing this. Meta’s revenue per user is around 40 USD iirc. Tbf, as much as people like …
