Discover was JUST purchased by Capital One, so I think they'd hate for it to be nationalized

What if we just split the difference?

America/New_York becomes UTC-04:30

I imagine the "POP only works with a single device" is in reference to the Gmail App's support for POP

POP access of a different account on the web would be the "Check mail from other accounts"

> I have anecdotally found this to be true as well, that an LLM greatly accelerates my ramp up time in a new codebase, but then actually leads me astray once I am familiar with the project.

If you are unfamiliar with the project, how do you determine that it wasn't leading you astray in the first place? Do you ever revisit what you had done with AI previously to make sure that, once you know your way around, it was doing it the right way?

The difference here is that we didn't select to use a Microsoft product, a produce we used became Microsoft.

It only matters in the context of it being "ironic" that it is used and favored in the coding community.

GitHub was purchased, which is a bit different.

TypeScript though I had no idea about! Good for them!

US is the same way; my hot take has always been "time to move to a -/+ 30 minute timezone"

That's what I was trying to reference, but I left the X in the English "Wax" [wax][alotl].

I am very curious what the author intended though

Is this pronounced Wax-a-lot-l or Wax-o-lowt?

I wouldn't consider Google Podcasts a first party app. Even as a Pixel user, I only ever interacted with it by searching for a podcast. I could install it, but it wasn't pre-installed.

I'm not sure but YouTube Music _might_ be pre-installed. I can't recall.

Aldi does pickup through Instacart, and while I know the prices wouldn't be 1:1 - it might be a great source of data for price deltas

I wouldn't say that it stifles creativity, but expands LEGO to people who don't want to be creative with it.

You can treat it as a fun 3D Puzzle with step-by-step, or you can do whatever you want with it.

Neither way is particularly "wrong"

Is it completely infeasible for BlueSky to federate with ActivityPub while maintaining the pros of its architecture?

If Threads, BlueSky, and ActivityPub all interconnected it really would be a great opportunity to compete on the software / UX front

The buyer's agent fee is basically subsidizing the hard work of buyer's agents (which is taking their clients to multiple properties, discussions about what they want, using time browsing MLS to find houses that meet criteria and arranging tours of them)

When I was looking to buy a house, my agent received no financial compensation from me at any point. Their work was entirely subsidized by the buyer's agent fee - and we looked at a lot of houses trying to find the right one.

The negative effect of that is that they're incentivized to offload us asap.

As someone completely inexperienced with exercise, the biggest drawback about this app is asking what muscles I want to focus on.

_I don't know_. I want to lose weight and be in just a better physical condition. Maybe then I'm not a target user, which is totally fine! But wanted to add that feedback in case I was.
