I agree. It also works if you mention it as a dealbreaker, leave without buying, and then buy at another shop. Yes, I realize this can be more work and may not be feasible for everyone.

There has been more pushback on car screens over the past couple of years, and the optimist in me hopes this leads to change. With enough pushback, manufacturers will have to listen to the market, cost savings be damned. A concrete step I t

I preordered a 13 Pro with Ryzen, which I'm already very excited about. Reading between the lines of your video announcement, though, it seems like the Intel experience might be more optimal (you pointed out Intel's new low power

For me, this was an immediate buy. Everything about this is what I've been looking for in a Linux laptop. (Also, how refreshing is it to not have to think hard about how much RAM you might need over the next few years because you know

Apple’s music has mostly been DRM-free since 2009! I love this about Apple and give them as much of my business I can to show that there is still a healthy market outside streaming. (7digital is another good source, although more expensive

I think we'll have to disagree on that. Humans write that way, too, and they've written that way for far longer than AI. (Where do you think AI picked up its writing habits from?)

This has been the first year in a very long time that I’ve thought about leaving macOS. They seem to have lost the plot on software and documentation. It might be nice for someone to crowd source a reasonable list of features they need to i

This is, without hyperbole, the most exciting tech announcement I've read this year. I really hope something comes of it. Motorola: Please double down on this and make mobile tech consumer-friendly again.

This is the way. In 2025, I don't think you can expect quality when the incentives aren't aligned (in this case, that you are a customer).

I would say that using a lot of em-dashes was always bad writing. You want to use them sparingly if you want them to have impact. That said, yes, keep using them (and using them well!).

I don't really agree with the article in the sense that from a user POV, it wasn't very feature filled and it was much more stable than Leopard.

Claude Code has an elegant solution to the problem you mention, without trying to cram everything into a single nested pane (which feels wrong to me). In Claude Code, when you edit a file independent from the agent, it automatically notices

I self-host forgejo but still want a way to publish open-source. I've been using GitHub for this and didn't realize that codeberg.org was an option. Glad to see them getting the press.

I can’t disagree with that. There’s also wisdom in realizing that we are the tide.

I’m not really sure why we need to give in? Just keep writing high quality content that obviously wasn’t AI-generated, and keep using em dashes. At least, that’s what I’m doing.

Forgejo is a really great self-hosted alternative to GitHub. If you've wondered about hosting your own version of GitHub but have worried it's too hard to set up, I'd encourage you to spend even a few minutes spinning an inst

Why is acquiring music difficult? If it's DRM you're worried about, the iTunes Store is all (or at least primarily) DRM-free.
