RE: https://mastodon.social/@nixCraft/117241250895962141

Ok, genuinely, tech journalists need to investigate why so much money is being laundered into Omarchy. A bunch of slopware from a white supremacist does not deserve $18 million when real Linux projects have gone unfunded for years. There has to be something else going on here.

If you are playing along with #MARCHintosh and you need modern Wi-Fi support for an old computer, I recommend this: the VONETS VAP11G-300 Wi-Fi Bridge. Set up in a web browser, connect it to Ethernet and USB (for power), and it's transparent. Only downside is the blinky lights.

If you've ever wondered why we didn't have dark mode everywhere until about 7 years ago, it's because we... didn't really need it. Here's my iBook G3 from 2003 at 100% max brightness, vs a MacBook Pro from 2 years ago at 60% brightness. We are bombarding our eyes with nits now. #MARCHintosh

Those wishes aside, it's worked great and we used it for all of the graphics we used to launch our latest product line with. All of the assets on here came out of Canva, and most importantly freed up our designer because I could make them quickly.

All this is based on the web app.

- I'd like to be able to edit stuff within groups more directly, there were a few times where I had to ungroup to make edits (and had to redo animations after re-grouping)
- Animation timeline is really hard to use accurately. My brain wants it to work like a video editor like Premiere.
- We use it for social posts so having "pages" of different aspect ratios would be awesome

(I signed up a week ago, there may be solutions I havent found yet)

New York Times has run FOUR op-eds in the last 2 days mouthpiecing woe-is-me sympathy for UnitedHealthcare and scolding the public for not performing solemnity.

2024-12-06T00:29:34Z

It really cannot be overstated enough: "For-profit health insurance" is fundamentally incompatible with keeping people healthy. UnitedHealthcare did not deny 1 out of every 3 claims because they thought they weren't medically valuable, they did it because they knew they could get away with it. The entire system cannot ever provide health as a meaningful outcome. It must be eliminated and replaced with taxation and a single-payer institution built on care, not resource hoarding.

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is… not hitting for me as well as I would expect.

- So many items/enemies have no utility. I have 40 or so, but never use more than like 8.
- "Turn into Link and swordfight" feels like a hack and doesn't flow with the game.
- Dungeons don't have the Big Exciting New Tool moment and that takes a lot out of it.

It's not bad, and the puzzles are intrinsically fun, but it's wearing out its welcome much quicker than Link Between Worlds or Cadence of Hyrule.

The reason Uncommitted exists is to give a voice to the people Biden and the Democrats were ignoring (especially young people who can see videos of what's being done in Gaza without propaganda-tinted glasses). Biden's refusal to hardball Netanyahu will be what causes low voter turnout, Uncommitted is simply the leading indicator for it.

If true, Apple demanding rent from Patreon subscriptions is particularly offensive. The people who Apple will be stealing money from, online creators, don't have any relationship with Apple here. They didn't ask to be here.

Apple made a billion dollars in profit last quarter *every four days*. This is wholly unnecessary. It is pure evil greed. They really weren't screwing around when they made an ad destroying all of those creative instruments and art tools. https://news.patreon.com/articles/understanding-apple-requirements-for-patreon

Day 17 of Harris being the Democratic nominee. At the time there were 107 days to election day. Roughly 1/6th of that time has passed.

17 days should be plenty for Republicans to form a coherent strategy. To date they don't have one. Instead they have resorted to racism, to sexism, to attacking childless people, to attacking a veteran, and just being weird. And in Trump's case, hiding at Mar-a-Lago.

They have squandered a full 1/6th of the campaign and no sign of them course correcting. #uspol
