Anything’s a regex if you’re brave enough.

Always. https://xkcd.com/378/

It’s a great analysis, and I don’t disagree with anything you said (mostly because you’re better informed than I am). But you nailed it with “Why would I need this? I don’t know yet.” It should all be driven by need—the fact their are more options is great, but doesn’t mean they should be used just because they’re there… For many hobbyists, ease of access and speed to get started is the main driver, and for those cases, pre-built boards are the answer.

I remember talking to a car manufacturer in the early 2000s who said it would be relatively easy to make cars to a custom length / load space. But they tend to make specific models because if you give people too much choice, they get paralysed and don’t choose anything.

I suspect it’s not quite that simple but the principle seems sound.

It’s a big of a problem.

Just going for cigarettes…

I’m going to get back to watching that later.

Sad Betamax noises

Is there anything looking even remotely promising to replace silicon? Manufacturing base aside, what’s the most like candidate so far?

Or volunteers. Don’t know about where you are, but near me, town gardens, flowers, woods and rivers are maintained for all by community-minded volunteer groups.

And the money was just resting in his account.

Maybe I’m being dense, but where’s the option to always use Reader mode? I can see for each individual website once opened, but that’s a Safari setting not a memmy one…

Btw, I only found this when you added Inbox. Fantastic :)

I use both (different machine), and find the difference minimal. Terminal has tabs on Win 10, and there are so many better alternatives to file explorer—I’m using XYPlorer now but have used many others.

There may be other reasons to upgrade of course.

Just to add a couple of things to your great list that I’m missing by from Apollo:

• Hide posts I’ve read (eg posts I’ve scrolled past are marked as ‘read’ and then hidden on next refresh. Ideally with an option to view / search those ‘read’ posts
• Option to open the built-in. Bowser view in Reader mode—this solves much of the trash mobile sites with endless cookie pop ups and ads

Almost right. Printers and scanners were not built by people. They are an independent life form that just happens to emulate office equipment for their own benefit. They have enabled parasitic entities such as Canon and HP to thrive alongside them, but since there is no ‘design’ involved, they will never really develop the same kind of interfaces we expect from modern UX labs.

It’s also the reason any sane person keeps a loaded gun nearby whenever interacting with them, just in case they make any unusual noises.

Sorry, this was a reply to someone elsewhere, but testing out Mlem and it ended up as a top level comment. Wonder if this one will too…

Yeah, imagine that. CEO makes unpopular decision, alienates loads of users, and triggers mass migration. Couldn’t happen. /s
