Guess they made it a bit too easy to access

Now, hold on, didn’t they save The Expanse after it was dropped by Syfy? And if you ask me they did a good job of the remaining seasons.

Same energy: this legendary comment in an issue on the Docker github repo (by the issue OP, no less)

Huh… I had no idea. I lived there as a kid, and now you mention it, yeah – flyovers all over the place and lots of cars. I miss being able to get anywhere cheaply with the combo of KCR/MTR and taxis though.

Thanks for teaching me something new!

Row after row of copy-pasted high-rise apartment buildings does not spark joy.

Unfortunately, Hong Kong has so little buildable land, its terrain hilly with scattered flat patches, that this approach is the only one that gets you enough units for everyone. Last I heard though property prices were absolutely skyrocketing.

More to the point, a huge mall does not compare with green outdoor space to walk around in. On the other hand, there’s at least four months each year when outside is a fucking steam oven and a mall with air conditioning is 100% where you want to be.

“For the loneliness you foster I suggest Paul Auster – a book called Timbuktu.”

Lyric by Fionn Regan that eventually led to Auster being one of my favorite authors throughout my teens and early twenties.

Settled on Voyager months ago. Sometimes I wonder if I’m missing out on newer alternatives for iOS but Voyager does everything I need it to and has that comfortable, familiar Apollo aesthetic.

Out of curiosity, do you have to refine it somehow, or is it good to eat straight from the tree?

Wait, what happened to LinkedIn?

I’d love to switch back to Linux but this is why I moved back to macOS for good several years ago. Once I got a taste of reading code at 4k/retina (faux-4k) – not to mention the better font support – there was no going back, for me at least.

If it’s considered user error for someone to want a high DPI display in 2024, then I can only surmise that people who share that sentiment have convinced themselves that more eye strain is a worthwhile tradeoff for FOSS. Commendable but a tough sell.

You forgot Quora. That site used to be semi-useful. These days I can never tell whether I’m reading an actual answer to the question or just some random recommended post that’s been shoved in in between.

I have to force myself to see flags instead of tower-mounted air defense turrets
