FWIW: the Care Credit Card is legit. Having one has been a boon to me a few times by helping me cover unexpected medical expenses with reasonable interest rates.

It’s not the managers that are pushing for return to office, they’re just the messengers for senior leadership who have spent millions buying real estate and want the return on investment.

I find myself thinking more and more frequently how nice it would be to go back to the carefree days of the early 90s.

What a sad state of affairs that is.

> Improving people's ability to competitively argue for things they don't believe in seems a hilariously bad idea.

I disagree with this so very much.

High school debate was foundational for my adult ability to recognize that nuance exists. Arguing a position that you don’t personally believe in, and winning, is a massively useful tool in understanding that for the majority of topics there are reasonable, intelligent, and acceptable arguments for both sides.

This is a trait seeming missing from most other adults I interact with. Too many people accept blindly that there is a correct and incorrect position and no room in between.

All the recommendations for Kagi. I never imagined I would pay for search, but after using it for free the value proposition was abundantly clear.

Yeah, that seems like a reasonable take.

FWIW I kind of feel like “no js” may be a pipe dream today. I see a lot of talk about it but very few sites actually do it; there just seems to be a lot of pressure to use the next big JS framework in the community.

Also analytics and so forth.

Yeah, thanks to Kagi I haven’t used google’s search in a long time, and I’m happier for it.

The very next item on the page is another huge graphic which says “unless you want it”.

I can’t seem to view the videos embedded in the article on iOS, which is disappointing because I really want to see that mosaic mode.

TIL that Opera was rewritten to be based on chromium. That makes me kind of sad.

Not super sad, because I haven’t used Opera in a decade, but still a little sad.

The design of “passwords” on the Mac and iOS doesn’t make it seem like anything is a “safari” password.

You save a password to the keychain in safari, and then you go to the “passwords” system preferences panel and you see those passwords. Or the other way around—creating a password from system preferences makes it accessible in browser. It appears on the surface to just be a password app, not a safari bucket.

It also works this way if you use the iCloud passwords app from windows. All of your saved passwords show up there as well, despite the absence of safari.

I’m pretty sure the new Chrome extension also shares your existing passwords.

I think it’s a reasonable assumption that when an app claims to use the keychain that you will have access to all your previously saved passwords.

No? Where did I say that? I just don’t blame people for bypassing that paywall.

Hot on the rails of multiple government agencies pushing hard to erode end-to-end encryption. Seems like things are going to get interesting.

Honestly the best part of troubleshooting is when I find out I was just being a massive dumbass the entire time. I go tell my team, friends, wife, etc, “I fixed it, I was just a dumbass, all I had to do was [thing]” and I revel in it because that shit is funny.

The angrier I am while troubleshooting, the funnier that reveal is for everyone.
