Extreme anxiety and suicide
@HiroProtagonist That's hilarious and silly but gives me the feels. The joy she has about giving kids a new and fun experience is enviable and largely absent from society. The lengths people used to have to go through for fun is also something to consider. Maybe the direction we took computers was a mistake.
Ye Olde Dial-Up Handshake!

@Jdogg247 Dude looks like he's in an episode of Dallas.
I could totally see myself falling down this rabbit hole.
Homing Pigeons are amazing!

Apple to finally bring RCS to iPhones: But alongside iMessage
I was really sure this was an early April Fool’s joke, but it appears to be genuine…
Apple will keep its iMessage as-is, so that won’t affect its security, and they don’t want to bring iMessage either to Android (as that would lose them customers).

What does it mean for a computer to be Personal? What does it mean for a computer to be legible? What is the role of a computer user? What is the role of a programmer? Why is there a distinction? Must there be?
What is the role of a computer in modern life? What should it be?

Disagreeing with Israel on a matter is NOT antisemitism
Caring for civilian Palestinian lives is NOT antisemitism
Being concerned about the bombings in Gaza is NOT antisemitism
Reservedly understanding there is a reason for the bombing is NOT anti-Palestinian
Desiring a ceasefire is NOT antisemitism, is NOT pro-Hamas
Calling for the death of all Jews IS antisemitism
Calling for the death of any group of people is anti-that-group-of-people
But don't let a handy label get in the media's way.
Musical harmony, sure, but that’s not what I’m talking about.
Hanging out with over 30 family members in Jamaica tonight. We just got finished having a devo and singing a few hymns. It is a legit miracle how much harmony we all have together. Proof of God stuff🙂
@thor My first car was the 84' 240 DL wagon and I loved it. Not so good on ice, but it did get 22 mpg. It doesn't look as bad as I remember it.
@mathiasx I liked Ready Player One, Project Hail Mary, The Martian, etc
@GettingCooked@noagendasocial.com Whoa, @mary grabbed a bag of them this afternoon for the first time in years.
@nbailey Your guide inspired me to set up a VOIP rotary phone, thanks! It's a fun conversation piece and I forgot how nice handsets are. The 4YO seems drawn to it as well. Can't wait to order a pizza with it later this week!

@parker @MK2boogaloo A guy at my college turned in his thesis to get his masters in structural engineering. One of the profs congratulated him and pulled a Columbo. "Just one more thing, what's the fundamental theorem of calculus?" He botched the answer and it cost him another semester.
Anyone sit around and listen to audiobooks/shows with family and friends?

I often get asked something like:
"Why work on email clients? Isn't Gmail what most people use?"
The answer: a ton of people use Gmail and O365/Outlook. So many that it is endangering the email standard. But Email is the most decentralized communication technology out there - and great clients help protect that. So that folks can have a great email experience, regardless of the server/provider they use.
Protect email. Use Thunderbird.

it's endlessly funny to me that humanity FIRST figured out how to show pictures on a screen by using carefully calibrated and timed electromagnets to sweep an electron beam of varying intensity across a glass panel coated in phosphor thousands of times a second, and SECOND put a bunch of lights in a rectangle
