Geeze this guy gets a hobby and buys new clothes, and suddenly it’s hardcore this, hardcore that.

Oh yeah, the number of people that drop off the face of the earth after a couple message volleys is unreal. Definitely frustrating if you’re trying to get rid of something quickly.

It’s pretty good for buying/selling used stuff.

In the past few months, the ownership of open-source projects has been a recurring news subject. For instance, people have questioned control of certain WordPress community projects being in the hands of WordPress’s co-creator Matt Mullenweg. Mastodon is trying to avoid situations where only one person has decision-making powers with today’s new structure.

It’s impressive how quick these giants are to pivot on their own morals and philosophies to appease their new masters.

“I feel like every time I walk down the aisles out there on the floor of CCXP and I see all these Deadpool figurines, I think they wouldn’t be here if we hadn’t made that film. And I feel uniquely fortunate that I could be part of it. Then, then my second thought is, I wish my director deals had a piece of the merchandising so that I could get some money from all of that.”

Why build a cow when they pay you to drink the milk?

Finished Silicon Valley. The ending is very fitting for the show.

Sounds like an iPad mini with the mobility of a HomePod. Unless this thing is cheap (it won’t be), why not just get an iPad mini.

It should go without saying, but spoiler alert for the season finale!

That lifespan probably drops significantly in cold weather.
