by
This is brought to you by members, become one to keep the content coming. Full Maximum Capacity Time Usage Dami Lee is talking about slow reading here but I took exception to one comment in the beginning of the video which I linked to. She talks about reading books that had a big impact on…
Glasp for reading later
by
After talking about Pocket alternatives a few other options have been recommended. Including NextCloud bookmarks (which Marcel talked about in the link above) and then Glasp. Out of the gate I don’t see an extension for Firefox so I’m out on that point alone but there is something more sinister lurking…AI. Specifically the AI Clone…
Tragically Hip Discography
by
This one was hard to decide, hard enough I listen to only Tragically Hip albums for 2 weeks. The Tragically Hip seem like some Canadian institution. I remember when Gord Downie died a few years ago I was disappointed that I had never got to see them in concert. After all that time I’m no…
Pocket Alternatives from Marcel
by
While Marcel has been using Pocket for a long time recent instability had him check out other options. His list includes: To that list I’d add Linkwarden and even Obsidian Web Clipper. I’ll be recording a video on my experiences with Wallabag, Linkwarden and Obsidian Web Clipper in the next few days. They all have…
Thunderbird’s 20th Anniversary
by
I’ve used Thunderbird off and on for years, but with my move to Fedora fulltime just over a year ago Thunderbird is again my main email client. During that year I was asked to donate when I downloaded the client, and again today on their 20th Anniversary. I donated both times and wouldn’t mind a…

Specifically calling out the $3.8 million dollar retention bonus for CEO Ted Christie that was paid the week before the bankruptcy filing. The CEO of Spirit Airlines, Ted Christie, a man who presided over…
Jason Snell Apple should end the AppStore Era
by
I admit I feel a bit surprised reading Jason’s takedown of the AppStore model on his preferred computing platform. Maybe I shouldn’t be, but it seems far more direct than I expected. A few highlights: Today’s computing world is also more dangerous than the one in which macOS was originally devised, so Apple cleverly built…
Apple has an upsell polishing cloth?
by
Josh found out that you may need the $20USD polishing cloth for your nano texture display because the one included with his computer that he ordered with the nano texture doesn’t work on the computer it came with. This is baffling to me. If Apple has a proper cloth for the display it should come…
Shop Talk on Developer Relations
by
Shop Talk 639 was a good episode, I specifically enjoyed the discussion of the usability of software for developers. This is everything from how the syntax highlighting works in your editor, to documentation. Laravel improved their DX recently by rolling out php.new after Theo had some issues getting Laravel up and running locally. DX is…
How to Name Your Computer
by
While some people have standard names for their devices and others have complex mystical naming schemes I’m a pragmatic person when it comes to names. My current laptop is a Framework 13″ which had the swappable mainboard upgraded a few months back which makes this computer 2024-08-12-fedora-framework because that’s the day I installed the operating…
