To add to the other good points made in sibling comments, MacOS has butchered fullscreen to the point where some of us depend on MacOS terminal emulators having the "non-native fullscreen" config option. Personally, Ghostty does the best job supporting my preferred terminal environment of non-native fullscreen with tabs that works with an auto-hiding menubar and the camera notch.

This is one of the things iOS's Lockdown Mode does. I wish the features of Lockdown Mode were able to be enabled individually instead of a single all or none option.

Possibly a backport of https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/16801

I’ve done some “insider trading” that I don’t know if was illegal or not.

I was in an aisle seat on a plane and the person up one row on the other aisle was the CEO of a small public company typing or reading their upcoming quarterly report in Word on their laptop.

Oh interesting. I didn’t know that. Thank you for the clarification.

> You may need to push for comprehensive genetic testing.

Not cancer, but after over twenty years of anti-depressants of all shapes and sizes my latest psychiatrist recommended one of genetic tests and it turns out I’m missing some enzyme that is supposedly needed for the meds to work.

Bitter sweet to find these things out so late in life, but better late than never.

Yes, this is it.

I recently read a book from 2015 on the stuxnet hack and a big part of the story is how every president knew how bad a military strike would go. Surreal to read now and the book gave me so much clarity on the current war.

Highly recommend if you like tech AND want some WW II forward context on Iran.

Edit: Countdown to Zero Day is the name of the book.

I run a bunch of static sites and small Ruby on Rails sites on a single $10 vps. I also serve my birdnet front end from it.

I have a separate $20 vps I use for a honeypot with an old domain that was one of the hardcoded control servers for stuxnet.

I really enjoy making web sites. I still type a lot of my own code and all of my own emails and code reviews. Not sure if that is a pro or con.

So that they aren't relying on a company to choose to do something out of kindness.

I appreciate you sharing your positive experience.

The shares are worth what their worth. People would have lost their minds and then everyone would have moved on. Is NVIDIA filled with more billion dollar typos? I don't think so, but I wouldn't care if it was.

No, I guess I don't. The companies can choose to do what they want and I think they can make a different decision based on how well they are doing. I don't know. They don't have to, but I don't see why they couldn't.

I've never been on either side of one of situations, but if the company is doing well, why doesn't the company just take care of the human? These don't really seem like opening-the-flood-gates types of decisions and companies could just choose to do if they wanted to, right?
