I'm like this for everything _except_ paper books. I grew up sharing books a lot, books I finished would go to younger kids in my extended family or my mom's students, and I got a bunch of books like that as well. So we took a lot of care keeping books in good condition. I don't buy many paper books anymore, and ones I do buy tend to be new and stay with me, but folding pages or breaking the spines still feels wrong to me

I use signal a lot (probably has 30-60 minutes screen time per day), and still notifications are extremely finicky no matter what battery optimization settings I tweak. So I'm leaning towards some apps being blessed

Thanks for posting this, it's a run read and the pictures are amazing/hilarious. The faces on the first picture are so funny and expressive

A steel door is certainly harder than my skin and also certainly can't be used to "bite" me or puncture my skin (save for crushing it given enough force)

After getting a hankering for more Culture books, I recently started going through his other fiction and they're all really fun and scratch a similar itch. I read Feersum Endjinn and The Algebraist, and I'm most of the way through Against a Dark Background now, and they're all great (and quite different from The Culture and each other)

Regardless of other ongoing work, title seems inaccurate? Doesn't sound like fable did any porting to macos

Funny that he misspelled one (derinku_y_u, literally meaning deep well), given all the effort that clearly went into it.

Practice mode also has a popup telling you what to do which seems to negate the point of the game?

Why does a silly little online game need my email to send a one-time login code? What a strange experience

Not sure how this counts as "trying to launch cursor" 8 times when 4 of them seem to be just blog posts with not very descriptive titles and 2 are about some AI email companion, and of the remaining two, one seems to be a tweet

> Approximately nobody is throwing away phones because the OEM stopped providing security patches. They're doing it for more practical reasons, like the phone getting slow, the battery wearing out, or wanting a better camera.

I did this just last year because my Pixel 4a stopped getting security updates and some app I needed to use for work (I think Duo?) refused to install or run because of it. The phone was otherwise running perfectly fine and I had no reason to change it. I'm on a Pixel 8 now which is supposed to have 7 years of security updates, and I don't see myself replacing it until then.

Can you give examples of these alternatives?

This is actually brilliant and going in my list of weekend projects I'll probably never have time for

I'm learning a bit of CAD currently (mostly for 3d printing) and I've been using onshape. It seems pretty powerful so far and I've not found anything I can't do with it. Can you elaborate a bit on what I'm missing from more advanced desktop CAD applications?

Beginning of the 3rd paragraph agrees with you:

> But while the length of the newly designed path is easily measurable, the coastline that it follows is not.

Yep. Cat, find, git, date, gimp, gnu. All very distinctive, easy to search for

Can you comment more on your VM setup? Can it utilize the GPU properly? Any performance or compatibility issues with running windows in a VM? Etc.

I don't disagree with the overall comment but this bit seems like extreme hyperbole:

> If you're a regular at a bar or restaurant, you pay an order of magnitude over $1000 a year for THAT service. This one is probably worth more.

An order of magnitude over 1k per year is almost $30 per day, every day.

I see a lot of people saying Google services don't work well on other browsers. Can someone give an example? I've been using Firefox desktop and mobile for a year and haven't had any issues with Google stuff. At least YouTube, drive, docs, sheets, etc. seem to work just fine

Kagi has the same syntax as well, this is just new syntactic sugar
