@atpfm for all the amazing details of the Vision Pro, the but that officially tipped me over wanting to use one was @caseyliss story of flying through the screen because the train started moving.
Up to that point I I couldn’t understand why there was a travel mode 🤦‍♂️

@rocket so guttered to hear you are winding up the show at the end of the year. Having been a subscriber since ep1, I have really valued the alternative voice and take on tech news (and scams 😁)
I think for all of us listeners, the least we can do is apply reverse Rocket rules and shout all three of you drinks if we ever see you in person, so consider it drinks on me if you ever make it to Auckland NZ.

In “So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish,” Douglas Adams wrote that the Hitchhikers’s Guide to the Galaxy is 5,973,509 pages long. English-language Wikipedia currently contains 6,747,777 entries. That means that the size of Wikipedia has now surpassed the size of the Hitchhikers’s Guide to the Galaxy.

I just bugged @caseyliss with this question but I should ask the group:

Do you have a non-iCloud and non-Gmail provider for business email and calendaring?

That you like?

That play nice with the stock iOS / macOS apps?

For business meetings where the calendar invites really really have to work?

“The reason that modern web development is swamped with complexity is that no one really wants things to be simple. We just think we do, while our choices prove otherwise.” –https://lukeplant.me.uk/blog/posts/no-one-actually-wants-simplicity/ (hat tip: @chriscoyier)

No one actually wants simplicity

We think we do, but in fact every web developer will happily sacrifice simplicity to the first shiny thing promising them relief from the mildest of ailments.

"Without content it literally is not possible to rank. If you don’t have words on page you’re not going to rank for it."

- from AMA with Gary Illyes

Nonsense.

Think about pages that are blocked by robots.txt so that Googlebot can't access them (it can't check if there's anything on the page at all), but which can be ranked based on links alone.
