Slightly tangential question but what’s with govt seized crypto assets? I had a bit of Litecoin a while back and went to check my wallet one day to find an FBI landing page instead. Is that just theirs now? Feels a bit like the gov seized control of my savings account.

Oracle was already on the FedRAMP list I think. AFAIK this is about getting smaller cloud providers approved to host government projects so there’s more options available.

I've been using zen lately mostly for the combination of "essentials" + "workspace" tab management scheme. I love having a space for tabs while also having a spot to pin stuff like email and bluesky which doesn't necessarily fit into one category or other.

Admittedly I haven't tried many other options, except sidebery which was good but not quite there for me.

I always disagree with this moving freely argument. Certainly some live where they do specifically for work, but some are also there to be close to family. They will not be interested in relocating to save a buck.

My wife ran a farmer's market for years, it can definitely be true.

Vendors tried to sneak stuff in constantly, and unless you have a market manager who really cares and is constantly vigilant, vendors will resell stuff they have bought in bulk and are reselling at a markup.

Not all vendors of course, but like anything else there's always a handful of bad actors.

I think it's pretty easy to define, actually. Were they paid in some way to do those things? If yes, then it was advertising.

As someone only familiar with WP at the surface level, I had assumed that WP Engine actually was affiliated with WP, so it seems to me the market confusion is certainly intentional.

It's weird that they are implementing "Once chosen, browsers should be immediately set as the default and downloaded in the background" and not "Browsers should be able to trigger a one-click prompt to be set as the default upon being installed (as is standard on most other operating systems)". I think I would prefer the latter. If I know opening a browser is going to automatically set it as my default, I will be less likely to try out new browsers.

I've never seen Usain Bolt's speed in terms of mph before this article. A top speed of 27.8 mph is seriously incredible. Granted I'm no professional sprinter, but when I try to go much beyond 14-15 my balance can't keep up with the cadence and I start to trip over myself.

Anyone know of something similar but for interfacing with a Drupal database?

I'd settle for some version of xcode, or some other way of not requiring a macOS machine to ship iOS apps.

Plasticity (https://www.plasticity.xyz/) is a new-ish one that looks neat, but I wish it offered a lower-price entry point.

Interesting, I recently got a MPB for a new job that was supposed to have some enrollment pre-configured, but didn't.

Weeks into my new job, the IT folks contacted me and asked "Uh, did you ever get your laptop?"
