@gruber Two things:1. Inductive charging has become pretty important, and I don’t see Apple returning to unapologetically plastic.2. Have your birdies suggested that the back glass fails at lesser impacts to help protect the more expensive front glass?

@chidgey My guess would be that this is due to a difference in environment (and environment variables) between SwiftBar and Terminal.

@chidgey @gruber What I’m suggesting is that Apple wouldn’t use plastic even though it’s an obvious alternative to glass.

@chidgey As Larry Wall used to say, it’s easier to port a shell then a shell script.

I just learned Apple has a group of executives called the Top 100.

Books are coming home from the office as the slow shift to retirement continues. I need to buy spare shelves to make midspan props.

@chidgey Oh, I’m very light on fluids. Just few in the upper left corner of the previous photo.

The midspan props are now in to keep the shelves from sagging over time. Once all the books are home, I’ll reshelve them into a more rational order.

My sense is that the people most enthusiastic about Bluesky are those who would like to duplicate the huge following they had on Twitter and know they’re unlikely do that here.

@gruber @chidgey Dorsey has gobs of people with gobs of money willing to invest in what he does. I wouldn’t call that unfair, but it is a magic power.

@ianbetteridge We believe that writing each sentence as its own paragraph makes our statements more persuasive.

I’m not saying Andreessen is an idiot, but why would anyone consider him a big thinker? He wrote a web browser.

Any explanation of why the alert came at 1:18 instead of 1:20 (Central)? Are FEMA and the FCC not using NTP?

By the way, if you’re old enough, you probably remember how inaccurate computer clocks were back in the pre-NTP days.

I know Amazon used to get criticized for sending items in boxes that were absurdly large for their contents. Today I got a paperback book in one of their padded sleeves; its cover and a large number of interior pages were bent. Maybe the packaging should match what’s being shipped.

@mtconleyuk @_the_cloud @Cdespinosa I remember it as Pascal before C, but I bet @siegel knows for sure.
