The fact that @gruber.foo has written about Alan Dye leaving apple seven times now is a real bright spot in my world. The thought that iOS and MacOS could suck less in the next release... wow, so amazing. Hope!

United Healthcare is truly evil www.startribune.com/unitedhealth... I have personally experienced the kind of delay/deny/douchebaggery Fairview has accused UHC of.

@startribune.com Can you please fix your website so this dumb broken modal ad doesn't constantly take over my screen? I'm a subscriber.

Wow, great scoop for the @startribune.com www.startribune.com/trump-offici... (gift link, which only needs the utm param and a clean set of cookies)

The new approach, of deactivating _some_ links without recent activity, has got to be more complicated than keeping them all working. I'm not google, but I keep a few million redirects working at a place with a longer web presence. Totally possible. developers.googleblog.com/en/google-ur...

Fuck you, on so many levels, Meta, but especially for how you purposely hamstring hyperlinks in Instagram.

Hands down, the worst rental cars are always Chevrolets. I currently have a trailblazer. It is a total piece of junk. CarPlay doesn't work half the time. The throttle response is a joke. Put the pedal on the floor and the engine revs but the car does not move. I am ruined by my EV.

LIES!

Layoffs at @nytimes.com today. 20 people in tech let go. The company just announced it's highest quarterly dividend ever, $0.18 per share.

Still thinking about that kale salad from Barbuto.

No one in New York was prepared for 80° today.

OpenAI buying Chrome was not in my 2025 bingo card. Like a lot of things, lately.

You know, on the plus side, I haven’t thought about bird flu in days.

18F 😢

This is terrifying. No software engineer should be doing anything like these kids are doing. A 19 year old software engineer is the worst; they think they are smart AF, but are, in fact dumber than rocks. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/07/u...

I found the strangest bug ever. Apple Messages filters out the og:image of your posted link if it determines if it is not "interesting" enough. Apparently, scoring 2 is interesting, any other score not. The algorithm that defines this is a black box, and not something Apple should control.

🤮

Lesson I hope TikTok ban teaches America. Some politicians are too ducking old, and; comprehensive electronic privacy reform and regulation is sorely needed.

Updates from the Los Angeles fires: • At least 5 dead • 1,000+ buildings destroyed • Palisades fire is most destructive in Los Angeles history • Tens of thousands of people still under evacuation orders • Another round of high winds expected tomorrow afternoon www.nytimes.com/live/2025/01...

Can’t bring myself to get rid of this classic beauty.

Well, would you look at that. Bluesky in the nytimes dot com share menu. Placed above X, even.

Did I fix gift links on nytimes dot Com? Let me see: www.nytimes.com/2024/11/24/u...

This is just a test: www.nytimes.com/2020/05/14/d...

Is Blue Sky the rage now? Wonder if I could get some bsky.app links in nytimes dot com share menus.

Strawberry flavor Ensure high protein shake doesn't pair well with anything. But especially not garlic naan with roasted red pepper hummus.

Finally bought a burr coffee grinder. I have been missing out. Makes a real good cup of coffee.

Word up to my hip young friends, including @nytimes.com. I hope you can add some specialized feeds.
