@robbysoave Like your Hill piece about David Litt changing mind about shunning MAGA friends/relatives? Where you not only fail to discriminate between mere political disagreement and a refusal to accept empirical evidence, but demonstrate it with covid vaccine efficacy denial?

@nytimes JFC, will you please drop the paywall on posts related to critical issues about COUP of your federal government? The world needs to know!

[Anthony May @techydude]

@bjango JFC guys, great there's a new version, but I'm busy and will get to paying for & installing the upgrade in a few weeks. Can you kill the multiple nags per day, even though I've responded 'remind me later' half a fucken dozen times already!?

@DamonLinker Glad you saw clearly, but your take on the 'new atheists' is profoundly wrong, then & now. We're not joking when we claim membership to 'established' religions is as absurd as to the Chruch of the Flying Spaghetti Monster; they are equivalent.

@TheHookUp1 @Rivian @SnazzyLabs @itskyleconner Nope, why would you expect a free ISP connection in your car to be a sustainably free feature? It was a lure. But yeah, CarPlay (& Android Auto) support are mandatory features.

Private equity firm @permiracapital is buying @Squarespace. Enshitification presumed to follow. After 12 years, it's time to find a new digital home 🤬

[Anthony May @techydude]

@philiprosedale @LindenLab @SecondLife "re-invent money"? JFC dude, you've blown with every kook sillycon valley fart for the past 2 decades, including the grandest con of cryptocurrency, and still that kiddyfiddler, who you enabled year after year, is working at LL. get a fucking grip.

@ShawnHymel btw that flight path is *beautiful* and flown by a skilled pilot. We has some of them too, but we also had some absolute nutters whose flight-path histories looked like a kid scribbling on butchers paper with a crayon!

[Anthony May @techydude]

@ShawnHymel Back in my @mavrx_inc days, that was a typical flight path for small (Cessna) planes with our imaging systems strapped to their wings, going over agricultural land. AFAIK they're still operating, but only in rural areas.

@backblaze Price to backup 1 computer:
2020: US$60
2021: US$60
2022: US$70
2023: US$84
2024: US$100
WTF is going on??

[Anthony May @techydude]

@RadicaSoftware Horrible electrical drafting software! It's like Visio in the 90s but way worse. Dragging 36 varieties of line/wire-segments to do wiring? That's fucking absurd. Maybe have a look at Siemens other 'proper eCAD' products to see how it's done 🤦🏻‍♂️

@HaierEurope @FortuneMagazine Your recent turgid behaviour toward the FOSS community (Home Assistant) has educated me to avoid Haier appliances, until you provide *local access* letting customers control their own devices with their own technology choices.

[Anthony May @techydude]

@Gadgetoid @MKBHD i was wondering that too!
desal is quite energy-efficient compared to a lot of things, including manufacturing hydrogen, or mining crypto...

[Anthony May @techydude]

@baldengineer that depends on what the foor is made of, what colour/pattern the floor is, and how many spares I have. it's a complex but instantly performed calculus! 😂

[Anthony May @techydude]

@RadioFreeTom Did you see his 90min interview with Carlson? Dogwhistles to the republican base, horrible, but they'll all be impressed by it 🤮

[Anthony May @techydude]

@haxrob fuuuu, i have one of these on my EV (because in the model's early days there were bugs causing the 12V battery to go flat). I operate it with no-location on iOS. Sending back street-address, which makes discovery even more obvious/easy, suggests mfg's motives are benign.

[Anthony May @techydude]

@pear7777 @haxrob it's connected to a fucking CAR BATTERY capable of a thousand amps into a short circuit, anything that attempts it will destroy itself; not much point in that.

[Anthony May @techydude]

@CBP Sending pkg Lisbon to Boston, it's been stuck in US Customs in Paris for 5 days, no contact with sender or receiver. I paid US$1000 for "overnight" shipping. WTF is going on?
