You can watch Helluva Boss and not be a furry, but you’re gonna like Loona.

Even if you say you’re still not a furry. Loona becomes the exception.

This is the way.

As he should be. Creatives can comfortably use all major platforms, but Apple seems to cater to them. I don’t know what the actual benefit is aside from maybe community, but you can have that regardless of platform.

The video itself. It’s about how good one YouTuber is and how opportunistic another is. IDGAF about YouTube drama. I just wanted to see the new Audacity (and I kinda did). The rest is just noise.

Why?

Are we so used to privacy being up for sale that we just roll on it? Nah, screw that.

A lot of anime, actually. Japan green lights anything, and some of it actually works. Most anime has stupid ideas that, if you give them a chance, actually works. Like “what if we take X-Men and the idea that 80% of people are normal and 20% have power and flip the script?” My Hero Academia. The fan base has turned toxic but the show is still great. Or “what if alchemy actually worked?” Neither Fullmetal Alchemist adaptation is very good because of how they adapted the books — the first one did the first half then went their own way because they caught up, the second one sped through the first half then dragged out the second half — but it’s still considered top tier anime. Not all of them hit though. Like “what if guns were smart and decided if they’d kill when you pull the trigger?” Or “what if a portal opened over the middle of the ocean to fairy land and cops had to pair up with faeries for reasons we’ll get around to explaining when we feel like it.” Psycho-Pass and Cop Craft, respectively.

Designated Survivor was awesome. I didn’t need it to make perfect sense. Kiefer Sutherland was exactly what you expect. It helped launch the careers of McKenna Grace (his daughter, who went on to play in the new Ghostbusters movie, one of which she sang the ending to) and Jamie Clayton (his sister in law, trans woman played by a trans actress; she went on to appear in sense8 and some other stuff). That One Scene in season 2 I’ll never forget. When they cut Kiefer Sutherland’s mic. One of the actor’s best scenes. I loved Designated Survivor… but maybe more for the acting than the plot. Oh yeah, and Michael J. Fox as a character with Parkinson’s. That show never stopped winning. It wasn’t The West Wing but it was never supposed to be.

Why TF do Kindles and the like even need to exist? I read on my iPhone while the audiobook is playing. I want a smaller phone and maybe an iPad mini for reading/media.

I mean, I get it. “Reading without the distractions.” But Do Not Disturb and self control are a thing and have never been a problem for me. I can either enable DND, or I can swipe away emails (or deal with them and come back) as they come in. This isn’t rocket science. And my iPhone drops to 1Hz so while it’s not eInk, it’s good enough. I love the dark mode but black on sepia is more natural.

Titlegore — probably better to describe the new format at 14% faster than Thunderbolt.

As for the question, I’d say it depends on whether we gotta get new cables or not. USB-C cables are good for Thunderbolt. Having to buy new cables might mitigate some of that 14%.

Sounds like spin to me.

That said, the dark theme looks nice, and I'm glad they support macOS. I use Audacity from time to time, but I'm not a producer or anything. The current version is fine, my only complaint is it's too dang bright. Same could be said of a couple tools in my toolkit but I don't complain because I have a Mac and these developers target Windows first because they have to and Linux second because that's either what they use, or what they like. Mac users have kind of always been the third wheel? It's not free, it's not tied to hardware, and it's not tied to gaming, buying a computer from an old school computer company that doesn't sell your data to the highest bidder (like Microsoft and Google do) and isn't particularly concerned with gaming is just... well, not many people's cup of tea. And that's fine, we like what we like and we appreciate what we get.

Surprising virtually no one. Tim Cook's legacy won't be sales numbers or new products (e.g. Vision Pro), it'll be bowing to an unlawful king and dictator in the name of protecting profit, and putting that over people.

Not that I envy Cook's position. He's gay, which makes him a target of the current administration. Also, their business is based on importing goods from countries the administration wants to punish. And his job is increasing profit. He's doing a good job of that despite the odds being stacked against him. Still, right is right and wrong is wrong. Tim Cook will not be remembered fondly, except perhaps by the administration. And the shareholders — but I repeat myself. The working class isn't investing in Apple or anything but their own grocery bills.

Meanwhile, I'm pretty sure a website that could be accessed by users of any phone platform should still work, until it get seized by the administration... so maybe it could be, I dunno... federated? Is that a word?

Ssh... some of the fandroids still believe they have headphone jacks, memory cards, back buttons, and sideloading.

They still do have sideloading for another year or so.

But I's sure when Google has taken away all the things that made Android different from Apple, they're going to stop collecting your user data and selling it to the highest bidder now that Android flagships are more expensive than iPhones? I'm so sure they will... Any time now. /s
