That’s a bunnybee!

I only use it for web stuff but W3Schools is usually pretty solid so I wouldn’t be mad having that as a first result.

Hmmm…I smell a massacre. Seems to be the only way to back these bastards up.

The people who want a world where iPhones are like Linux by default don’t use iPhones; they use Linux phones.

The vast majority of us just want to have the ability to use our devices to run what we want when we want to. The App Store is a good, fine thing. I like that it exists and I don’t want it to go away.

But I don’t think it’s fair that Apple gets to tell me I can’t run emulators on my phone. It’d be like Ford telling me I can’t drive my car on an interstate or something. The whole concept is weird.

Let me own my device, please. I paid for this hardware; why am I not allowed to choose the software that runs on it?

Android handles this in what I think is a great way. By default, you can’t install 3rd party apps. You have to dig into your settings to enable that and then your phone is unlocked. I do think that’s bad for alternative app stores (but that’s a whole ‘nother problem) but the vast majority of people who seek apps that aren’t available in the phone’s App Store do so because they’re more technically minded and so don’t mind a more technical solution. If you go take a random Android user off the street, 9 times out of 10, they won’t even know you can install apps from outside of the App Store and that’s a good thing.

Apple loves to tout “security” and “efficiency” for why they don’t allow 3rd party apps and that’s so silly to me. If I want a less secure and less efficient phone so that I can use features Apple doesn’t like, that should be purely my decision to make. It doesn’t affect anyone else but me.

They may have at one point but they do not now.

It’s so unbelievably annoying that PayPal doesn’t let you use whatever display name you want to. Not everyone uses their legal name in their social life.

I understanding needing you know your customer, but why not let me set what my display name is?!

To Rule A Butterfly

Yeah, yeah, I’m up next on the sticks.

Yeah, yeah, I’ll be your player two!

Yeah, yeah, I can play with your Dad!

Yeah, yeah, got the DDR mat!

Yeah, yeah, got cheat codes like yuh.

Copied, not stole like yuh.

Computer froze like yuh….

You’re not wrong but it feels disingenuous to say this. The entire repo with all of its dependencies checked out for a large website can easily clock at half a gig but there’s no popular website now that’s asking any users to download half a gig worth of stuff before they can use it.

There ARE websites where, if you keep them open long enough, they’ll constantly pull more and more data (usually for ads) but even that is measured more so in tens of megabytes.

And none of this is to say that websites haven’t gotten too big, just that comparing a downloaded app’s size to the size of a website’s unbuilt unbundled source with all of its dependencies is an unfair comparison.

It’s terrifying that the only way to win these days is to just never have been born. Even if you don’t play, someone you interact with online is and you get taken in that way.

All to sell you ads for things you don’t need or care about.

I’ve never dealt with this using a hypersonic speaker but I’m very familiar with attempting to record lyrics while hearing my own voice on a delay and it’s impossible. Thinking about just trying to read text while hearing myself on a delay sounds similarly difficult.

My guess is that some of us, musicians especially, are more reliant on internal timing in all things.

Pablo Picasso is laughing in his grave.
