jms703··on The Future of Email
Agree. I was waiting for the other foot to drop and then..."email's not going away."

Genuinely curious. Why is it posted and being upvoted here?

jms703··on Anthropic confidentially submits draft S-1 to the SEC
How do I keep my 401k from investing in AI stocks...
jms703··on AWS Fired the One Employee Who Gave a Damn
Companies are not loyal to the employees. When choosing people for layoffs, I don’t believe anyone cares about the things this person did or was known for. As long as the site stays up.
jms703··on Open source Kanban desktop app that runs parallel agents on every card
Same. I end up needing agents to clean up after agents.
jms703··on BBEdit 16
Yep. Give people two choices.

1) Purchase a major version and get no updates.

2) Purchase a subscription and get constant updates.

jms703··on GitHub is investigating unauthorized access to their internal repositories
Do they know what the attackers were after? Maybe they were just trying to help fix the availability problems.

Author missing out on good wine deals for no apparent reason.

TIL: Instagram has encrypted messaging...

This is neat. Going to give it a spin and try it out.
jms703··on California farmers to destroy 420k peach trees following Del Monte bankruptcy
What do they do with the wood from the trees. I have an offset smoker and fruit woods are excellent fuel.
jms703··on Windows quality update: Progress we've made since March
This exact problem was the last straw for me and pushed me to Linux on my desktop. Haven't looked back.
jms703··on Anthropic's Champion Kit for engineers pushing Claude Code at their company
This reminds me of how brands can get people to buy a t-shirt with a logo on it. The customer is paying or in this case, working, to advertise the brand.
jms703··on You can't trust macOS Privacy and Security settings
So the title should be something more like "macOS apps retain access to folders after access is removed by the user".
jms703··on LittleSnitch for Linux
I wonder why LS can't be given access to systemd resolved stub resolver to get all my DNS lookups.
jms703··on Steam on Linux Use Skyrocketed Above 5% in March
I had the same experience! Not looking back at all.
jms703··on Steam on Linux Use Skyrocketed Above 5% in March
I moved from Windows to Linux after the lastest round of MS crap on my system. Not looking back.

Worth repeating: Never tie your personal phone to your work stuff.
jms703··on Walmart: ChatGPT checkout converted 3x worse than website
This is my experience also, when trying chatgpt to purchase.
jms703··on I love my dumb watches
I had the casio and loved it. But I now have a garmin instinct 3 solar and wow! Love it even more for tracking sleep and activity. But no notifications of any kind, nor any maps to try to squint and read. Just some more numbers I occasionally want and great battery life!
jms703··on Florida judge rules red light camera tickets are unconstitutional
It sounds like a great policy. Good news is that you can choose to be on time or pay the penalty or choose another provider who hasn't decided to implement this...yet.

I'm shocked by your question. I honestly would like to hear why you think this should not be acceptable. Why should they continue working overtime and cut into their own personal/family time because of the parent's failure?

jms703··on Stop the Interviews
Agree. When someone leaves a company, rarely is the impact that tangible, besides the emotions or perceived feelings of loss. We're all replaceable.

1Password also thinks site1.example.com and site2.example.com are the same.
jms703··on 1Password pricing increasing up to 33% in March
My family members struggle to use 1Password. This breaks it for them, as I can't really defend 1Password over Apple/Google password managers anymore.
jms703··on 1Password pricing increasing up to 33% in March
In a world where everything is increasing in prices and salaries aren't keeping pace, you might be able to see it if you imagine what life was like making much less money.

1Password, like other subscriptions, becomes something for the middle class and up, not for the masses.

Vendor solutions become the only option.

jms703··on Major European payment processor can't send email to Google Workspace users
To author:

The phrase:

“sends verification emails without a Message-ID header — a recommendation of RFC 5322 since 2008”

can be misread as though RFC 5322 recommends not including a Message-ID.

jms703··on Mobile carriers can get your GPS location
I honestly thought this has always been the case.
jms703··on My ridiculously robust photo management system (Immich edition)
Can you explain how you’re able to run ML workloads on another computer? Setting up Immich this weekend on a mini Pc and would love to throw my GPU in my larger PC at the problem.
jms703··on Microsoft forced me to switch to Linux
Yes, did the same thing for similar reasons. Everything works well. When with Arch Linux.
jms703··on Capital One to acquire Brex for $5.15B
Yes, in the US, if you are disciplined to not spend beyond your means, credit cards are much safer to use than debit. Sadly, the last I checked, financial discipline is not taught in our public schools.
