Sorry, my bad. I just wanted to know what the OP meant by "timing a bubble", I didn't want to insinuate that they said something different.

>I can time a bubble What do you mean? Selling everything before this bubble pops?

>{my-hn-username}.substack.com will still be around I wouldn't be so sure. Platforms come and go, they change domains (e.g. Twitter), they merge, they die.

Which is also why you get Google results in your own language, even if you're in Japan. Google receive your requests from an IP address in your own country.

That's the sad thing: Apple decided to leave all Intel macs on broken macOS 26. Very bad on Apple's part.

>have led many people to defer upgrading until MacOS 27 is available Then there's me, crying in MacBook Pro 2019 stuck on MacOS 15 because 27 won't be available for my machine.

That's why I said .doc. The format you're talking about is called .docx

Until I can have all my keys as cleartext in a text file, I won't use passkeys.

Exactly, I always refuse to add a passkey because I'm afraid I won't be able to easily login again. Also, I don't want to be locked in to a vendor.

> Linux is the only oddball here, I had issues getting this flow to work. Take a guess why. Passkeys are just a trick for vendor lock-in disguised as a security practice.

> Compiz Wow, you just unlocked a memory. Good times.

WordPress source code is a mess. They should re-write it from scratch using modern technologies, or even a framework like Laravel.

Damn, I should have not migrated to Bun. Should I revert back to Npm?

You just need to start teaching kids the metric system. Then when they'll grow up the switch will almost magically happen by itself.

I can't wait for Europe to come up with an alternative for Visa & Mastercard. European business pay a "hidden" tax to the US on everything, in the form of Visa & Mastercard commiss…

Simply put, Stripe doesn't want to deal with the risk associated with those transaction types.

It hides the banner, so no consent is ever given. Plus, uBlock would block most scripts that place cookies anyway.

Luckily tools such as uBlock Origin let you block all those nasty scripts, _including_ the cookie banner themselves.

Desktop Chromium is Chrome. iOS Chrome is just Safari with a different interface. Apple doesn't let other browsers use their own engine on iOS (unless you are located in the EU).

Apps took off because Apple did everything they could to make PWAs work badly, with no reliable notifications, no access to some data, etc. Apple did that because they want their s…
