Nice find. Agreed. The concrete bunker isolation in this clip is an entirely different vibe that's interesting on its own, doesn't need the horror color grade.

I wish the bbc would rebroadcast or release it in higher quality than the YouTube uploads from over a decade ago. It’s so great, I’d love to _see_ it in high def.

Zoom was probably already recording on behalf of the employer

Curious what you are referring to. I often try to find the optimal calendar app, and while I know Fantastical isn't it for me, I am curious if there is an overarching story/reason why that I'm not aware of.

I have some daguerreotypes from this period that are in worse condition. Must do better underwater than in air...

Not sure if that's totally true. I've changed a bunch of icons w/o disabling SIP and I'm on the latest OS.

How on earth are microsoft/windows.com images still low resolution. It really stands out and detracts from the visuals they're trying to sell.

Fair enough. I would extend not generating clicks as an example of my point but I do think I tried to too narrowly explain why things are the way they are without reflecting on other alternatives too much.

Great point. Agreed. My comment above has too narrow a view.

Without flogging corporations, the public won't be able to act on their bad behaviors.

Imagine if there were no articles written about Amazon, or Airbnb, and instead there were only article written about exploitation of workers or skirting the hotel laws as bad things that are happening (either in theory or out there in the wild). In that case, the public won't actualize it or internalize it enough to take action with who they vote for, and in turn elected officials won't bother taking action because their constituents don't know/don't care and so it's not important for them either.

An overly complex web service and web app :-)

That's my takeaway from getting it up and running as an end user for a bit.

Disappointed as a customer to see this nyt-is-bad preemptive pr defense and no substance action, as I guess as fits their mission statement, than a critical assessment of flaws etc. and description of improvements they’ll make going forward.

I think the parent makes a very astute point and this response is handwaving away a huge amount of undeniable social change that is being dismissed.

What's the death rate right now? How many people have died over the norm?
