somehow you never hear stories where they talked about a singer and _didn’t_ see an ad for that singer’s concert?

How am I supposed to read this ? a thinly veiled hatred for Mr. Musk?

tontonius | 1 year ago | on: X isn't important enough to feel the full force of EU regulation
Honestly, this seems like a win for X but the article tries (somewhat hard) to frame it as a loss. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the author's personal opinion of Mr Musk.

VAR evidence leads judge to say that it would have been "impossible for him to cheat at that point".
Dang, please update the link title to reflect that.

Keep it classy and refrain from emotional outspurts.

Could be that Chrome on iPhones use Apple's WebKit. Kind of like a Safari in a Chrome skin.

Love it! Reminds me about Chip’s Challenge! I used to play it on my old man’s 486 at the ripe age of 6 or 7. Found it last year on an online DOS emulator and was stunned to know that I knew the entire sequence of one of the earliest ice puzzles through pure muscle memory (some 25 years later)

in case anyone of you ever come back to this thread lol
tontonius | 3 years ago | on: Thoughts on Arc Browser
Got invited this summer and was a bit skeptic at first (been trying different browsers on and off for the last couple of years). I knew nothing about the browser and had no real expectations. I have to say I was a bit impressed by the onboarding, the UX, and the attention to detail. (Perhaps because I work in UX)
Thought I'd try it for a week before eventually switching back to Chrome because of some missing feature or functionality – in reality it has been the opposite. I dread using Chrome again, and whenever I'm forced to, it feels like going back in time, but not even in a nostalgic way. Just a sense of "this is what we used before?"
Anyway, I have 5 invites if anyone wants to try it out.

This sounds relevant to my interests. How big/strong heat dish did you use? And for how long at a time?

I'd be cautious to draw large conclusions based on this piece. At the core, it's a trade unionist (w/ friends) complaining on low or uneven salaries. This is pretty much the purpose of unions.
Ask a hair dresser if you need a haricut <-> ask a unionist if the wages are too low
