But, it’s the Canary®™… of coal mine fame.

So old. Like 12 years old.

That’s only 10 Petabytes per cartridge. The Internet Archive is currently sitting at 212 Petabytes.

But, without disruptive new products, sales seem to be stuck in a muted place. And the next swing at big disruption, Vision Pro, starting next year, feels a like a slow build, initially.

Fuck stock market analysts. In one sentence it’s “they don’t innovate.” In the next sentence it’s, “they innovate, but I want them to do it faster.”

How often can you expect a single company to disrupt entire markets? These expectations are not sustainable.

I know this is from Kindergarten Cop, and it’s unfortunate that it just happens to sound like right wing rhetoric in the current political climate. So know that at least one person didn’t downvote you.

I also didn’t upvote to counteract those downvotes because it’s kind of a dumb, low-bar joke.

They’re also the company who mainstreamed the software subscription model.

It used to be that only services required subscriptions. Applications would be a one time payment. But, Adobe converted to the subscription model and because they hold a monopoly over the design space, people/companies had no choice but to go along. Once they were successful, every business in the world decided that they also wanted that sweet monthly payment and now software licensing sucks.

I refuse to even pirate Adobe products on principle.

TL;DR Fuck Adobe, use open source.

What your talking about is called a clipboard manager, and there are tons of them out there. All with varying features.

MIT gives YOU more freedom

After years of debate about licenses for my own software (that only I use…), my philosophy has been boiled down to this: MIT for libraries. GPL for programs.

This way, other developers can freely use your library, and your program remains free.

Hey, everyone! Get in here! We’re building a bikeshed!

I’m sure there’s some obscure key bind to go directly there

It’s just Cmd+Shift+H (for Home). The shortcuts for many of the most common locations are extremely intuitive.

• Cmd+Shift+A (Applications)
• Cmd+Shift+D (Desktop)
• Cmd+Shift+L (~/Library)
• Cmd+Shift+C (Computer)

Same with Python. I use a combination of the platformdirs and xdg libraries.

XDG gang, rise up!

Also, I know that this community and dot-files in general are Unix based, but this holds true for Windows development as well. You should be putting app files in the users’ %APPDATA% directory, not their user folder. It’s probably even more important since Windows doesn’t autohide dot files.

Again?

The article doesn’t list the infected site. So, if you want to keep yourself safe by avoiding it, well… fuck you, I guess.

Edit: just skimmed through the original Group-IB report and they redacted the name of the site. Not the article’s fault that millions of people are still in danger to this malware.

Yeah, that’s what I want. For the government to tell me who I am or am not allowed to spend money with. I’m sure that wouldn’t have any negative repercussions.

Firefox has been very good (better than Chrome) for several years. Ever since they released Quantum.

There’s nothing special about it. It’s just the extension in a larger format. I’ve tried to use it a few times, but there’s no gain over the extension. And, typically the extension is better because I already have my browser open, so I don’t need to open a new app.

Wow. Since you didn’t list the prices, I went to the links to check them out. Only $15-$20 to get a fully customized set of playing cards? That’s way less than I expected and I think I came away with some Xmas ideas.

Absolutely not. My 65+ year old parents just cut the cord recently because they were paying over $250 for cable. They now pay around $90 for Hulu+Live and get almost everything they had before, with a couple of small exceptions.

For those not clear, AppleTalk was created at a time where there was no universal standard in networking. The “standard network” you think of today, a bunch of computers plugged into a router, existed but wasn’t the de-facto setup. There was still experimentation going on.

Apple ported some of the AppleTalk features, such as Network Discovery, into Bonjour which was introduced in 2002. Once that became mature, there was no reason to keep AppleTalk around.
