Joplin because I struggled for years with a consistent way to keep and refer to notes that I could find easily at a moment’s notice and access from any device, anywhere.
(Please don’t tell me about how you use a text editor and markdown in your home directory Like GH* INTENDED because I tried that FOR A DECADE and it didn’t work for me. I’m old and cranky. Get off my lawn! :)
Post pandemic, this kind of ID “verification” is SUPER bogus, but it’s quite common unfortunately, and, tbh, I can’t think of a better way to handle it that isn’t either in person or via snail mail.
Not great for sure, but most likely not racist, or at least not purposefully so (not that that matters).
This is brilliant. Thank you!
Long shot here: Donate to charities which help people in need in predominantly Trump held districts.
Less of a long shot: Volunteer for organizations like Vote Forward to try to reach folks. We’re all human beings at the end of the day, and appealing to people can’t hurt.
I think “malls” in the traditional sense of giant concrete behemoths with nothing but row after row of stored and fast food were killed by online, but if you open up the definition a bit, some are thriving.
Like where I live, it’s an ‘archology’. A mix of residential units on top and commercial on the bottom. All outdoors which is a draw for folks in the forever pandemic world.
Please stop doing web dev, it isn’t real.
So, let me guess. Web dev isn’t “real” but Linux kernel dev is VERY real?
I mean, I don’t take issue with what SEEMS like your base case: Capitalism is crap and money is a silly game we all play, but what I’m reading / understanding from your statement is that the millions of people sending E-mail, writing documents, and managing spreasheets using web based applications aren’t doing “real” work as well?
Not arguing, just desperately struggling to understand where you’re coming from and what you’re trying to say in concrete terms.
Here’s some “high quality” (heh heh) anecdata for you: I navigated from my house in Somerville to a restaurant in the Seaport district of Boston last night, in the POURING rain using public transit and walking.
Google maps literally was leading me around in circles downtown once I got off the train, so I switched to Apple Maps and it was straight shooting from there on in.
I think GMaps is more susceptible to the tall buildings fouling the GPS. Not sure why?
