I’ve been here 19 years I think. But the character of the site has changed, and not positively, for me. There’s users out there who love this kind of content, but I don’t find anything but sports scores worth logging in for. I think I’m out.

@bashildy Still should be “in stock”. Smells like bait and switch to the higher priced package. This is from the new surface order site.

Ok @Microsoft what is this bullsh*t? This is digital software. Did you run out of disc space?

[Markalope @markalope]

Now I appreciate both - but I've alwasy leaned towards Heavy D and I have NOT given Chubb Rock enough credit over the years.

Hard enough to tune out the unhinged Tr*mp/GOP/Conspiracy stuff but X seems absolutely overrun with porn spam and actual porn right in the feed these days.

@AdrianneCurry People who post these sorts of comments should be required to include a current picture of themselves. Or better yet, don't post these kind of comments.

@LuriaPetrucci My opinion, FWIW - the bright colors are likely truer to your personality, at least in my experience, but the muted palette is easier to read....

Sending a confirmation email after someone has clicked your "unsubscribe" link is a dark pattern. An evil, cynical pattern. Don't do it.

[Markalope @markalope]

@turoczy That’s how you do it?

[Markalope @markalope]

@lesliepwriter Speaking as the Markalope, yes, I would.

[Markalope @markalope]

No, seriously, I'm going to start journaling. I just need to find the RIGHT $40-70 notebook and that will get me going....

[Markalope @markalope]

@kyleshevlin Good luck, man! Proposals and sales are a different world from the code, eh? Sounds like you're making it happen.

Dang, my Apple extended keyboard needs to be cleaned in a big way. Time to bite the bullet and do it. Should I put it on the top rack or the bottom rack?

[Markalope @markalope]

@elonmusk I gotta give you credit for this one. Community notes is a positive addition to the platform to be sure. Even if it reality-checks you from time to time, LOL

@syntaxfm That totally reads "Fitness Fox Devs" - I'm sure you guys are plenty foxy, but might want to revisit that font choice.

@stolinski The dev’s version of “I know a guy who knows a guy…”

@BentleyAudrey TBH, most floppies were closer to 5-1/4"
