@vmstan @mcc Me, neither. But it seems like that article is out of date—France added a non-commercial freedom of panorama the year before it was written: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_panorama

A couple of years ago, many people recommended Pirate Ship to me and it was a great suggestion—I’ve shipped hundreds of packages with it, and the service and site is a delight. Now @adamengst has gotten on the bandwagon and explains its advantages: https://tidbits.com/2024/06/20/pirate-ship-reduces-shipping-cost-and-complexity/

(Adam and my recommendation are unsolicited and unpaid!)

Initially terrifying until I realized the security cam had captured a spider walking using infrared light.

Folks, if you’re able and in one of the areas affected by heat: put out a cooler with ice, water, soda, and snacks, because so many delivery people and postal carriers will be coming to your door. It’s a great thing you can do to help folks who have to work in the heat to bring things to you!

Some irony for you all.

Apple’s evolution from crushing materials of artistic expression in an ad to crushing artists in a new system release.

We thought Messages had become too complicated, so in iOS 18, we're making it even more complicated. #fakewwdc

Imagine if Twitter still existed right now

All I ask is the NY Times not suddenly reintroduce the Needle.

The Cybertruck is an off-road vehicle in the sense that you can’t keep it on the road.

@thomasfuchs But why do they care when it doesn't convince people who know who they are and their base doesn't care about Jewish people?

I don’t entirely understand who Republicans are performing for. The ones who are most in the bag for Israel, no matter how genocidal Israel is, and are currently yelling about antisemitism on college campuses, do not care about antisemitism or students or Israel as a state or Jews. Many of them are either overtly or covertly antisemitic. Who is the audience?

Good news! I have hit the word count for my book! Bad news! All the words are not yet in the right places!

It just struck me what Apple got wrong with its “crushing ad.”

They thought we would identify with the iPad, not the creative instruments and materials.

Apple should release NFTs of its product stickers

@mcc AI sort of ate their business, so I guess they are returning the favor by feeding themselves to it. (I don't think LLMs provide an accurate alternative to Stack Overflow, but I think Code Pilot and other stuff shunted a lot of traffic.)

@mcc This is a very interesting strategy they are pursuing to ruin their business.

@thomasfuchs I owned that table *TWICE* in different parts of my life. However, I put the split height part in the front.
