I think a lot of the hate (myself included) is coming from the fact that we already had a really good native macOS app. Feels like something is being taken away. I do understand where you are coming from with Linux. It's better than what you had, no doubt. But that doesn't feel like the case to us macOS users.

What would you replace it with? Bonus points if your answer is somehow de-centralized like RSS already is. ;-)

This is exactly the same process I went through. Life changing, right up until Amazon started taking 5 days to even ship an item to me.
trvr··on Amazon Prime inflates prices, using the false promise of ‘free shipping’
- Amazon Prime 2-Day Shipping delivered in 2-days almost 100% of the time from 2009-2019. My address didn't change in 2019, nothing, but the service got way way worse. I am simply asking for the delivery times to go back to what they were.

- Customer Service refunded 25% of my subscription one time, and then about a week later a sympathetic supervisor/manager reviewed my delivery history and agreed it was sub-par and gave me a 100% refund. I was very honest with him that I had already received 25%, he didn't care. This has been the only person at Amazon who has understood my issue, but he was powerless to fix it.

- The higher-ups did not try to address my issue. They tried to gaslight me into believing that I didn't have a problem. They kept going back to the "orders take time to process before shipment", which I had explained over and over again that was not my issue. Once my item ships, it takes easily twice as long as it used to arrive.

Lastly, they tried to blame the carrier (usually UPS). Which is also BS, I am able to purchase shoes from Zappos (an Amazon company, BTW), and they arrive THE NEXT DAY. When I pointed that out to them, that is when they told me they would no longer be responding to my emails. I completely understand it is more expensive to ship packages to rural America, but I'm not the one advertising "Prime 2-Day Shipping" to anywhere in the lower 48 states. I just want them to be honest with me and tell me straight-up that I'm not worth a Prime membership anymore.

trvr··on Amazon Prime inflates prices, using the false promise of ‘free shipping’
Amazon has completely abandoned most of the state of Montana as far as "Prime Two-Day Shipping" goes. I've fought with them for over 6 months now, I ended up getting a 125% refund of my Prime Subscription for the year. Still didn't solve anything, so they told me to email "jeff@amazon.com". I did, got a handful of "executives" who gave me the run around about COVID and shipping delays (which is all horse shit, I provided my order history where Amazon switched my shipping method to "UPS Ground" about 20 months ago, and it takes 5-6-7 days to arrive AFTER shipment. Used to be "UPS 2-Day".

They literally told me they wouldn't reply to my emails anymore. It's total crap, they are using the Prime subs of rural customers to pay for same-day delivery in the cities, and hoping we won't notice.

So, yes, it is regional, but I have not even seen the words "Prime Two-Day" on any Amazon checkout in well over a year.

As someone at a small ISP, this being public was super helpful for us. Caching Netflix is (I think) better for us than it is for Netflix. We saved a ton of bandwidth during peak hours by getting an OCA in our network.

We are too small for Netflix to ever reach out to us, so this was perfect.

Marco mentioned just a couple of weeks ago (at least on the live show, not sure if it made the edit) that he was using Ubiquiti APs at his house. This was in reference to having a dedicated "IOT" SSID in your home.

This isn't happening for me. Try it in incognito mode, maybe?
trvr··on Introducing Twitter Lite
This is pure speculation on my part.

I believe that, currently, if you iOS app uses any Swift code, you have to include the Switch libraries in your app. This has something to do with how quickly Swift has been changing, and Apple wanting you to reference your own library instead of the system one for now.

This has caused a number of apps to balloon in size lately, but the hope is that it is temporary.

trvr··on The Future of Podcasting
I suspect that Adam and John don't need the money they make from the podcast to pay their bills, so I'm not really sure what "it's working" means to them. The article you linked to doesn't mention any specifics.

We use Bomgar at work. We have their physical appliance, but I believe it can be virtualized now. It's been pretty rock solid for what we need it for.
