why cant u guys name things normal https://t.co/uyd0bTncvy
@mrled
Shower thought: could the wifi router industry normalize having a lax IoT network, and allowing devices to get on the better non-IoT network if they agree to security guarantees, including regular updates? Sort of like turning the EULA against device OEMs

DST is Daylight Standard Time, the time zone containing all parts of Earth and other celestial objects with direct line of sight to the Sun. In DST, the time is always 12:00:00 noon.

The lack of programmability in voice calls is such a waste of potential. We have a smartphone, whose fans claim is literally a computer* with a phone in it. I should have voice changing apps and a button I can press to scream at the political spammer on the other end.

@Jowjoso @joshsojoshsoj You can get a Kangaroom in Austin for 1/6-1/3 that price!!

Product wish:
1. Receive emails
2. Follow every single link*
3. Get the real link instead of the slimy tracking link
4. Provide an RSS feed
Someone make this, I will pay you
*except the unsubscribe link, lol
@mrled
In addition to being trash scum, link tracking is fucking slow and unergonomic. Substack's link tracking practice is relevant here; it means that I have no idea where a link goes until I click there, and it takes a loooooooong time to load it. Twitter's t[.]co sux in the same way

Instead of buying Twitter, Elon should have done shady back room deals to get the Twitter verification symbol into Unicode so you can just append it to your username. More chaos, more fun.
@mrled
@Jowjoso You should be able to report coworkers for bad sound issues and have IT reach out to them to troubleshoot. In the call, IT should record them so they know what they sound like and okay it back to them. No one thinks to check what they sound like, which sucks
@Jowjoso
when i'm ceo i will provide a 400 dollar budget for all fucking engineers to have a real fucking sound setup i do not fucking understand why everyone i work with sounds like they are speaking from the tunnel inside the fucking hoover dam
jesus fucking christ.

how is it that they made like 50 mega man games and yet they never bothered to fix the character select screen. no matter who you pick in any of these games it always forces you to be the little blue one.
@craigaloewen
@tm65 Nope they're different! WSL 2 is a way to run a WSL distribution, this is the "build 1.0.0 of WSL in the Store" which is a different way of how you install and service WSL on your machine
@tm65
@craigaloewen Build 1.0 GA is same as wsl 2.0?
@craigaloewen
We released our build 1.0 of WSL on the Microsoft Store, taking it out of preview and making it generally available! There's also some other exciting news coming very soon, stay tuned for the official announcement!
@Jowjoso
@joshsojoshsoj yeah this is surprisingly expensive it seems like? maybe it's locale specific like they only serve the bay or something. but like, you can get a GC to organize for you and build an ADU for literally half, here. idgi

@the_prepared do you happen to know if the umbrella shades in Madinah Piazza were an inspiration for the canopies in Black Adam?
@mrled
Learned about the Madinah Piazza project from The Prepared, an EXCELLENT newsletter about manufacturing and hard tech. From this issue last month: https://t.co/kvLYL1BdGs
@mrled
Saw the movie at Alamo earlier this evening but I had to download a fucking cam for these screenshots. A cam. I feel disgusting.
@mrled
A few screenshots from the movie. Looks simpler than the Madinah Piazza project, but how they're all patterned there together seems really striking https://t.co/zQ7B5vF2w5
@mrled
Clearly they look like a different design, but the overall effect seems really similar to me. https://t.co/Uk5qc62JvV

Black Adam has these canopy things. Are they inspired by the Madinah Piazza Shading Project? https://t.co/P82EiDUzLy

@joshsojoshsoj More than that imo - you can't cancel a NYT sub without calling them on the phone unless you live in California.
@joshsojoshsoj
@mrled Good question. Their business model is probably like gyms: held up mostly by people who subscribe and forget to cancel. So any "pay as you go" model would kill them. But yeah, not sure 🤷
@mrled
@joshsojoshsoj I wonder what they'd have to charge to make it not cannibalize their current subs-only model
