If you wondered why I’m mostly boosting humorous takes on xz drama it’s because I find almost all serious takes absolutely nauseating. So much serious thinking by people who have never maintained anything of substance in their whole life.

Obsidian Sync now starts at $4 and I 100% endorse it: https://obsidian.md/blog/standard-plan/

Everyone who tortured themselves with some external sync and then tried theirs immediately regretted it that they didn’t switch earlier.

The plan gives you 1 Vault with 1 GB of total storage. I’ve been using Obsidian for years and I’m at 35 MB since it’s just plain text with some images and PDFs. But happy to pay the higher tier to support this great product.

It’s wild to think that Calibri is already 20 years old. To me it’s still the new font on the block trying to replace Verdana.

@buttondown JFTR, I’ve reached out to the person who told me about the problem and they’re on uBlock Origin — if that helps.

@buttondown Thanks! I’m surprised you heard it from me first — when do you switch to the new form? I’m not sure I’d have noticed it if someone didn’t tell me that “the purple subscribe button does nothing”. That’s when I realized the button only points to the page itself and a part of the page is missing

@buttondown @feoh Already set the checkmark ;)

@buttondown Magic Lasso, but I’ve noticed because others pointed it out to me so I suspect it’s others too.

@buttondown looks like the subscribe text box at the bottom of newsletter pages gets removed by some ad blockers (including mine). :( Are you aware of that? Any chance of a workaround? 😬 (my own subscribe form on my homepage looks fine)

@feld Joke’s on you this is SQLAnywhere 🙈

Copilot just confidently suggested a sweet SQL injection to me.

We’ve got some wild times ahead of us, folks. 🫠

@feld yep

I find it super wild to see Googlers celebrate Chrome’s 15th birthday and bragging their part in it RIGHT after they tricked their users into the creepiest ad tracking platform with the darkest of dark patterns. I would be ashamed to be part of that. Personal values and integrity are liabilities.
