> if you…are ok with driving there’s endless amounts of things to do and passionate people to meet.

I’m someone who is currently struggling to find these people; what has worked for you? It often feels that everyone cool is trapped in their car, and we are destined to never cross paths.

> why is the fork in the last picture obviously of a different type

I think that last bit is tongue-in-cheek. That’s my read, anyway.

That might explain why it consistently kills Firefox Focus on my phone.

I’d get a single stutter seconds into playback of a new song fairly often when playing lossless on Apple Music on my iPhone, without Bluetooth.

I suspect that the stutter happens when it decides to change audio tracks to a higher bit rate stream, but that’s me talking out of my rear.

That particular problem went away once I turned off lossless in Apple Music settings.

I’ve been doing this for years, it’s a nice touch!

Don’t forget to update the folder permissions to be like the others in your home directory. By default all users of your machine will have read access to the ~/Developer folder you create.

And while you’re at it, might as well pin that folder to the left side of Finder.

> I worked through the password reset flow and managed to set a new password to the account.

I did this once for a Microsoft account created under a relative's email address. I did a password reset and marked it for deletion, but whoever created the bogus account managed to get back in before the deletion request was processed. Now the email address is verified with Microsoft and not under my control whatsoever, with a phone number presumably for 2FA. :(

I figure the only chance I have to fix this is to get a job at Microsoft and go knocking on some doors...

I honestly wrote that "anti-competitive" bit so it wouldn't look like I was defending anyone. You caught me trying to preempt being called a shill. It didn't work.
