well, well, well 👀

huh. email from Todoist about pricing increases from $29/year to $60/year. - legacy pricing: todo items & existing features - updated pricing: todo items & existing features & new features not surprised Doist (the company) is raising prices, given prices have barely increased for almost a decade

Updates: 1. Bouncer (for SMS spam): This app works for text spam. I spent a minimal amount of effort setting it up. Regex for the win. I guess I'll use it until something gets baked into iOS or the app stops blocking SMS spam. 2. iOS insists on notifying me about spam voicemails, but not the calls

It's always DNS

Extremely super awesome neat cool yay wow that Microsoft Teams no longer accepts mic inputs from my Focusrite Scarlett Solo. Which update caused the regression? So many updates to choose from! Any other software that accepts mic inputs? Working a charm. Teams? Nah, use Bluetooth or a headset.

I've never understood how hypertexts with a footer and infinite scroll work (they do not). - Optimizing for time on page (they are not)? - A secret puzzle for devoted page viewers (nope)? - Accidental use of a footer (probably)? Feels like an opportunity for a mini game like "Catch the footer!"

This article is now public! Link in reply. I recreated Jef Raskin's 1987 'Canon Cat' user environment and observed myself as I lived in it for a week. Implementation details, surprises, and more in the essay. (Why touch grass when you can read 3.2k words on user environments?)

Ahh, yes. The annual email reminder about my iTunes Match subscription renewal. Since 2011: iTunes Match. I have **no idea** what happens if someone cancels that. And at this point, I'm too afraid to find out. Take your $25 fear fee, Apple.

I love making websites.

Checking out housefresh.com while considering sensors and additional purifiers, I realized a purifier with PC fans might be in my future. Had never thought of using a large filter with PC fans for a purifier. Makes sense! Now, it's time to determine which kits are the least visually displeasing.
