@kevinctofel Wow. I was wondering what had happened to Innoreader when all that spam started streaming in with your name on it.

What did the buyers say they were going to do with the site when they bought it? There might be grounds here for reputation harm if they said they were going to continue publishing relevant content.

@androidfaithful - new site's great. Just an FYI that it doesn't have the RSS feed in the header - I had to hunt for it! #stilluserssaftergooglereaderdied

#myfirstmac was a Mac 128 which my uncle had soldered up to 512k.

It's bittersweet to me that while I've been using a Mac ever since, they've been exclusively provided by work for the past many years.

The last truly "personal computing" Mac I bought was a white iBook, circa 2007.

When a lightweight Chromebook is < $400 and serves as both my home computer and a tablet, it's hard to justify the $1,500 or so for a Mac/iPad combo. Quadrupely so when you look at outfitting a family of 4.

Doing a test here to see how much reach this #mastodon account with 550 followers has compared to the same test on #Threads with a 430 Follower count.

I suspect I already know the answer.

What drove canceling the show? Ad revenue? You bought an iPhone?

@rudepundit

These events make me think hard about when militarized police are the right people to have around.

Traffic stops: nope

People storming government buildings and breaking down the door you're barricaded behind: hell yes!

TIL that this exists.

“The Bureau of Land Management gets the $7 entry fee from the 64 daily hikers who are lucky enough to visit Coyote Buttes. The $14,400 in lottery fees that the day's hopeful hikers pay to Recreation.gov for a shot at a permit all go to a giant military contractor: Booz Allen.
