Isn't he just so nice?!

 

I really dislike ad driven publications. I'm not opposed to paying for quality news publication, but for something like NYT, there's only a couple articles a month I come across that I'm really interested in reading. There problem is that there's 4-5 other paywalled publications where I have that same issue. I'm interested in their content, I just can't justify the subscription price for the small amount of content from them I'll actually consume, and I really can't justify paying subscriptions for 4-5 publications at once.

I would pay $5-10 a month for a news aggregator for paywalled publications. It could be set up in a way that the publications get paid per view of their articles, it could be opened up to independent writers as well (e.g. integrate your substack with it). Maybe even an additional fee that includes digital magazine publications as well.

I can't imagine it would be worse for the industry (unlike Spotify), as it already seems like journalism/news is hovering above collapse. They would be making money off of people who weren't providing revenue previously.

Google's messaging app actually has a desktop browser based client that you can use to send messages from your computer. So that might actually be a good solution for you. I use it regularly and have no complaints about either the phone app or the web app.

Not a snake, but it definitely worked. Heading into surgery shortly to have my jaw reattached. 5/7

I overcompensate for my subpar burger grilling skills by going all out with the fixings. Toasted sesame bun, cheddar, crispy bacon, ketchup, red onion, fresh jalapeno, tomato, romaine, mayo. Squash it down and chow it down.

I'm curious how big of a dip there was with macOS when they fully dropped 32 bit support. I'm just one person but a lot of the games I played through steam were older 32 bit games. I don't think I've opened steam on my Mac since that update.

Loving it so far! I think everyone freaking out about the pricing needs to chill out and just use a different app.

There's one thing I'm curious about and wasn't able to find in the settings. Do we have the ability to turn off the red/blue highlighting on the action area for a post we've voted? I don't like how it looks and find that the font color for the vote count is perfectly sufficient for me to know that I've upvoted and downvoted.

Haven't used sync before, but I'm really digging the amount of flexibility in customizing how it looks. Thank you for your hard work in developing this so quickly!

My local store had numerous room temp superconductors right next to the perpetual motion machines.

I'm not sure how reliable eBay in Europe is, but I would suggest finding one available from a highly rated seller on eBay.

Yeah I have the feeling a lot of them are as bad or in some cases worse than bicycles upfitted with gas engines.
