Try mindfulness meditation. It has helped me get reins on my running mind, especially when I’m trying to sleep.

Spreadsheets are such a killer app.

Anybody know a good TUI spreadsheet app that can import and export csv, or even just a TUI csv editor? I have been unable to find one.

Honest question: how does hurting consumers even more solve the problem? Is it a deterrent to the original tariffs or something else?

Chill out, I already had enough reasons to not use those sites.

Yes. For instance https://www.brennancenter.org/ recently did a tabletop exercise where they looked for all the worst things that could happen during a trump second term and looked for ways to stop them from happening. See (or rather hear) https://youtu.be/9SlnDvGHhBw

If you do end up eating one, tell us how many bytes it took.

One of the big turning points for Facebook for them to increase the difficulty of switching was cutting off RSS as a way to syndicate content into Facebook. After that, content had to be manually created in Facebook, instead of automatically imported from a third party source based on standard protocols. This forced people away from their chosen content authoring system into Facebook’s opinionated, inflexible, ad infested walled garden.

But here’s the thing: all those other platforms, the ones where I unwisely allowed myself to get locked in, where today I find myself trapped by the professional, personal and political costs of leaving them, they were all started by people who swore they’d never sell out. I know those people, the old blogger mafia who started the CMSes, social media services, and publishing platforms where I find myself trapped. I considered them friends (I still consider most of them friends), and I knew them well enough to believe that they really cared about their users.

They did care about their users. They just cared about other stuff, too, and, when push came to shove, they chose the worsening of their services as the lesser of two evils.

I spent so much time with this thing. Moon Patrol was my jam.

I think the bigger issue was more about being able to go local for warranty service, instead of having to ship your bike somewhere far away, which would be costly and be a PITA.

But you’re absolutely right about regular maintenance. I gave the wrong idea about the reason in my last comment.

(And now I’m sitting here thinking “omg, I sound like ChatGPT.”)

It takes 27 seconds to cut a ulock with a battery powered angle grinder. https://youtu.be/hjYXD9pyupg

That being said, I do use a ulock and cables when I lock up my bike. It stops opportunistic thieves, but not determined thieves.
