I know that I personally have a handful of personal local only apps under development, that in the past I would have reached for a web solution.

That explains why ChatGPT has been running like shit all weekend. In the desktop app on Mac, it could not even complete a response. On the web, it would hang before you could input anything.

Yeah, most of these companies park their cash outside the US to avoid having to pay taxes, then borrow money in the US against their assets/stock. It worked great when interest rates were essentially zero. Not so much now.

Yeah, these rankings are bogus. Snapdragon is far superior to Honeycrisp.

I vote for more Stargate! It is a franchise that has just be languishing for far too long.

Try looking at the site with uBlock Origin turned on and the article is missing important details, since the affiliate links aren't being inserted. Makes for a hilarious read.

"This is why the first thing I got for my CR-V was a . They are, as far as I know, the first and only all-terrain tire built specifically for crossovers."

The whole article is like that.

The CPI is a propaganda tool. It is designed to keep the real inflation hidden to make it seem that inflation is not a real thing to worry about. Because it is formulated in secret, they can manipulate it to give a fairly rosy picture. The published CPI never panics.

Nothing like some good old-fashion collusion.

Facebook should just pay the link tax. They then need to add a link insertion fee for the media outlets, when they are the ones creating the links. Don't pay the fee, don't get any links. Make the fee 3-4x the rate of the link tax to cover added expense of everyday users sharing links.

I had Spinel Clean and Tidy that let you clean-up your registry and various temp files that were left all over the place back in the Win95 era. Also Spinel ScreenPik which was a screen capture utility.

Delphi, ah the memories. I use to make a fair amount of money in the late 90s making shareware applications with Delphi. It was the most productive I have ever been as a developer. But, the world moved to web fairly rapidly, so I had to move on to the web.

I will never understand how everyone forgets the first part of the second amendment. "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State". That pesky regulated Militia part that everyone skips over. Since the only "regulated militia" in the United States, currently, is the National Guard, that seems to state that you can't infringe on their ability to posses and carry fire arms.

The ! glyph has some issues. Other than that, I like it.

Is it just me or are all of these "new" micro blogging platforms just trying to recreate RSS feeds. You take a few pieces of relatively simple tech and wire them up and you have solved the "decentralized social media" problem. RSS, Webmention, Webfinger, and WebSub (formerly PubSubHubbub).

Create a better "RSS reader" that is more Twitter timeline interface and less email "folders" and you have it.

Also for the love-of-god can we dump the hokey @username@hostname mentions and just use username@hostname like the internet at large has used for decades. username@hostname is NOT only for email addresses.

If the CCP wanted to cause chaos in the US, they would stop container ships from leaving China bound for North America.
