So Trump’s going to skyrocket inflation and debt again? Like he did last time and that this administration is finally in the late stages of cleaning up?

This happens basically any time a Republican president is elected. They shit all over the economy, tank it and finally when Democrats clean everything up these morons cry “I was better off under the guy that fucked up everything.”

I keep seeing everywhere that voters voted on the economy, yet no one seems to be pointing out the exhausting, blatantly obvious truth. It’s been happening for what, 20+ years now?

Republicans make a mess, Democrats are always forced to clean it up. So pardon me if I think the voters are idiots.

This is a tough one. One way I sort of get around this is I buy the discs (if international) or rent them (domestic), but it’s probably so new and exclusive that it hasn’t been released on any rippable media.

I don’t have a great answer but I’m sure most modern browsers have locked down their address bar (and bookmarks) enough that it’s not possible without enabling developer features.

I think the part you’re missing (and others haven’t addressed) is that you don’t send 100% of your traffic to one endpoint (much like how most use VPNs). You can route different things to different places.

For example, I’m in the US and have two Tailscale exit nodes. Both are located on VPS machines in the US, but one sends traffic down a double-hop VPN back out into the US, the other does the same but to Switzerland. My “default” route is through Switzerland (better privacy laws) but I am forced to route some things through the US exit node due to websites that won’t work outside the US. For my personal devices, traffic routes directly to them via WireGuard tunnels.

In addition, my wife doesn’t care about blocking everything that I do (social media, tracking) but her phone still needs to update sensors in Home Assistant. She can choose not to use the exit nodes but can still communicate with our nodes on Tailscale. She also uses it to print documents at home from her laptop while she’s at work.

Recently I was waiting in a hospital with public (unsafe) WiFi that blocked UDP traffic, but Tailscale does some magic that will relay traffic via TLS. I was able to access services at home with a 20ms latency. The tech is very, very nice to have.

I think I’m talking about the speakers and codecs themselves. I always try them in the Apple Store with high hopes but the audio is blatantly compressed: it sounds “tinny” while lows and mids come out poorly reproduced.

I know that with Bluetooth there is limited bandwidth, so even with high quality source files it’s always going to be (re-)encoded with AAC. Apple ditched aptX which is a shame, because at least the quality was much higher than AAC.

I use an AudioQuest DragonFly while listening to music, and it’s clunky for sure but I don’t want to be forced to use Bluetooth and compression.

I would love to jump on that bandwagon, but they sound so fucking awful. I’ll pick my Audio-Technica gear with the awkward Bluetooth every time; not that I use the Bluetooth while listening to music but it sure would be nice to have something on Apple’s level of wireless for meetings and audio quality in one package.

I only have experience trying to run two Tailscale containers on the same machine and hit so many roadblocks that running it containerized just wasn’t worth it.

Containerizing is probably only worth it if you have an explicit need for it.

So as much as love Apple to death, unfortunately my iCloud email account that I don’t use anymore has had its information leaked several times over, but I’d rather keep it despite this.

What I don’t want is for it to be even easier to brute force, and I also don’t want to make it easy for Apple (or anyone) to access its data. So for me personally it’s important.

I was too lazy to find the source (but knew it existed) when I wrote that; it’s here at https://support.apple.com/en-us/102630 under the Web Access and Advanced Data Protection for iCloud heading.

I hate that this is so black and white that you’re being downvoted. I’m the exact same way, but I’m by no means a bootlicker. I very much enjoy my job and love the work that I do, but I also don’t think most jobs are meaningful.

Two things can be true at the same time.

How can I make this my prompt on zsh?

You don’t use the C:/> </ terminal prefix and suffix prompt on your smartphone?

“21 Ways Your iPhone is Spying on You” and it’s always dumb stuff like shady apps asking for permissions mouth breathers are stupid enough to allow. Then their website has 14 trillion tracking scripts loaded up; hypocrites.

Yeah, this is pretty stupid. “Oh no! The cops use CarPlay??” and “omg they developed an iOS app, the horror!”

Yeah everyone says this then I look around at REST APIs (as a consumer and developer) and 99% are trash.

I’m loving GraphQL mainly for “take only what you need” and type definitions. Every other standard I can find has some crummy gem, serializers that need to be hacked because they never work out of the box, etc.

As soon as my experience changes maybe I’ll change my mind, but I’ve had to develop some REST APIs using Ruby and Rails and wasn’t happy. Meanwhile my side projects using GraphQL are just incredible, and I don’t want to kill myself after developing it.

No but you are misunderstanding me — I’m talking about a web API for others to consume, not using GraphQL in the frontend of a website.

I’m discussing APIs that can be consumed by others, not something for my frontend to use.

My frontend uses Hotwire — I’m not using GraphQL as some Node.js guy writing the entire frontend in JavaScript.

I think you’re discussing PWA technologies where I’m trying to talk about web APIs.

Was this due to DMARC/DKIM, SPF or something else?

I don’t use it due to the need to downgrade your iCloud account security settings unfortunately.
