Agreed. I'll always prefer an Alamo or Cinepolis, but I've actually been extremely impressed every time I end up up at non-boutique movie theater.

AMC has upgraded their seats at a lot of locations now (to super comfortable recliners), and they often serve some high quality wine/beer options.

The only issue I've been having is content. The movie options have been slim these days. If given a choice of streaming or cinema experience, I'll choose cinema every time. But give us something to actually watch please, that's not superheros or cartoons.

I always figured buying that NFT was sort of a way to just donate to one of Jack's charities. I hope the buyer wasn't trying to make a long term investment with it.

Yeah, I just leave my helmet on the bike (on the handlebars, not attached). It's not a high value item to steal. Someone took my front tire once but left my helmet.

I'm trying to think of what useful evidence that law enforcement can get out of an infotainment system. Guilty of listening to too many Brittney Spears tracks?

I got a hand written postcard recently from a seller asking for a review. Threw it in trash tho

I can't actually imagine watching NFL without using Twitter during commercials (or after something crazy happens). It's actually quite spectacular

World Cup is definitely going to surge traffic

Same. I always have both open, but use VSCode 98% of the time

Cool, it's been a while so maybe I'll give it another try

I love Postgres.app on mac, makes running locally a breeze. Running Postgres fast on the cloud is what I always struggled with (without paying enormous sums)

I paid for Raindrop for years, really loved it. But it got extremely buggy (forced me to relogin constantly). I'd open Raindrop, it would completely reset my auth info, and then close it because it's not worth the hassle of logging in yet again just to save a bookmark. And when they clear out login, they clear out everything (including the email). Their iOS share panel was an absolute disaster.

Their UX was great, but it's a nice case study that if you don't focus on the seemingly little but important things (like making Auth seamless and bulletproof), everything else is meaningless.

Dropbox is the same way. Opening a document never chooses the right account (corp vs personal), constantly clears SSO session, and I usually give up 95% of the time instead of using the app.

Seems like most (if not all) of the top tech companies are also on hiring freezes.

I think it could only possibly work if "subscriptions" were not directly to twitter, but to other twitter subscribers. Premium follows to content creators, charities, individual journalists, or politicians. Where you get some "club only" content and interaction. And Twitter takes a piece off the top

Sorry to hear about your losses. Can I ask, what was the reason you favored FTX for crypto investment?
