The suggestions are terrible and insensitive at worst and benign at best. No matter what they're distracting. There doesn't seem to be a way to turn them off, you have to turn off Apple Intelligence as a whole on the device. As long as I can't turn this stupid feature off on its own, Apple Intelligence will remain disabled.

I've been looking for a backup solution for Fastmail for a while, thank you!

Woah this is awesome, added it to my wishlist.

You can also split the difference and run Dokku[0] on a vps and basically host your own instance of “Heroku”. It can even use the same build packs and procfiles.

Feel free to message me and I’d be happy to help with server stuff.

Musepack! There are dozens of us! Dozens!!

Back in the early 2000's when I was getting into ripping my collection I didn't have enough space for FLAC so I surveyed the options and Musepack seemed like the obvious lossy codec winner. I still have that collection of .mpc's somewhere.

Wow this is really great, thanks for sharing.

I still listen to all of the following regularly. Castlevania IV and ActRaiser in particular have pretty incredible arrangement and sound design for being so early in the system's life.

From the Super NES:

  - Super Castlevania IV
  - ActRaiser
  - Axelay
  - StarFox
  - Gradius III
  - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles In Time
  - U.N. Squadron
  - Final Fantasy VI (III in the US)

From the Genesis:

  - Sonic 2
  - Sonic 3 & Knuckles
  - Ranger-X

From the Unreal Tournament Soundtrack:

  08 - Botmca
  11 - Enigma
  17 - Skyward Fire
  28 - Foregone Destruction

Note: I think there's something up with chipplayer.js' tracker playback because some of these Unreal Tournament tracks were definitely playing slower than they should.

Mykaruba!

Elon’s contact info was not shared publicly with millions of people. The location of his private jet, which is public information, was republished on Twitter.

That video was the first time I felt like I understood the Javscript stack. Really grateful you put that talk together.

In addition to the other helpful suggestions you’ve received, look into using Log2Ram. It does what it sounds like, puts log writes in ram and then writes them to disk on a slower cadence that doesn’t work your SD card that much.

Wow I totally forgot about that Disney game. You could ride your creations in first person!

Take a look at the OpenCore project’s legacy patcher: https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/

The trash can might have a little more life left in it yet.

I feel like it was literally called “freeinternetaccess”, definitely not one of the major ones like NetZero.

This brings back memories. I remember marveling at this with my best friend when it came out. I got into BeOS around the same time.

I used to use those ad-supported dial up ISP’s and found one that worked with a standard PPP dialer so I didn’t need their software. I remember carrying around the QNX disk and login info so I could get online with basically any computer.

Updating to be more accurate, it's more like 2 spam messages a week on average make it through. It's a nuisance for sure and not a dealbreaker but does make me wonder if Gmail would be catching them.

Also I do have to praise their web interface, it's startlingly fast.

I've been doing the wildcard/per-site email thing for a few years now, unfortunately these spam emails are coming to a more generic address that I used to use for everything that I can't quite ditch yet.

Also regarding calendars, can you share that calendar with arbitrary people who don't have Fastmail accounts?

I migrated from Google Workspaces to Fastmail earlier this year and their migration tools made for a smooth transition.

My only big complaint is their woeful spam filtering. I get 1-2 spam emails a day, and I mark each and every one as spam. They're all of the same format; The subject line is something like [Symantec Invoice #431343] with the body being empty and a single .jpg attachment of a fake invoice. The company name and design of the invoice changes but it's always the same pattern.

I've contacted support but they shrugged their shoulders and suggested I just keep marking them as spam.

It's annoying, but I pre-paid for 3 years so I don't quite feel like jumping back to Google.

*Oh I just thought of another gripe that I didn't consider before switching: their calendaring system isn't really that useful for shared calendars unless the other people you want to share with are also Fastmail customers. This seems obvious when you think about it but I take for granted that literally everyone in my life has a Gmail account that I can share calendars with.
