I feel like I'd be more comfortable with subscriptions if accounts weren't consistently required for everything. I don't particularly like everything I do being tied to an email or phone or whatever. And all those accounts are consistently a pain in the butt to delete.

Despite their recent news, I do prefer the way Mullvad has done it re this: "Here's an id. If you make a payment, it funds that id.". Then you can use the id to login. They can still enforce limits like # of users, etc, but it still enables you to have an account where you can be sure the company isn't going to ignore your unsubscribe settings, send you upsells, and then leak your phone # in some db breach.

I didn't dig too deeply into it, because explicitly storing locally just gives a bit more control. Also, since I was kind of imitating the style of Organic Maps, I wanted to give the ability to download entire tiles. I view caching responses more like a performance enhancement, whereas I wanted explicit offline support.

What can I say? Bens like maps I guess.

FWIW, I have an experimental open-source implementation of offline-capable PWA protomaps. Haven't advertised it much, because I haven't sorted out performance (particularly on mobile), and it's a bit buggy still. Also, don't have cache invalidation. But it does work. Usually. xD

With a name like "Golem", I could see a more earthy color scheme with a much more subtle (essentially unnoticeable) use of gradients feeling real nice with this product.

fwiw, currently moving my music to subvert.fm. In the past, Bandcamp has been the first place I pointed people. But have slowly felt more and more uncomfortable with it ever since the initial Epic acquisition.

Neal.fun AND Josh posts in the same week?? The whimsy is strong rn.

I mean the opposite of that is like the one time where I was meeting a friend at something like 7th avenue (or some # I don't remember), and accidentally went to 7th street... on the other side of the city. You don't forget to pay close attention after that xD.

yup yup I also came here for electronics/digital audio without finishing reading the title. DAC is super standard to read in those spaces.

Motorola + Graphene coming 2027. I'm at least waiting to see what comes of that before making any decisions on my next phone.

It was actually due to this that I tried to close my Robinhood account (that was never used), and realized... it's actually not possible. I tried to invoke CCPA, and over a 19 email thread, got frustrating and contradictory replies, such as when I asked how to end my relationship with Robinhood (per their privacy policy, they keep data up to 5 years after the relationship ends):

"When your account is deactivated, you and others can no longer use it to trade or transfer, but the account still exists, and we still treat your relationship as ongoing."

"closing your account ends your active brokerage relationship"

And then when I asked them to clarify which of these is accurate, they sent me a generic non-answer.

All Stewart tries to do is make game companies, and all Stewart actually ends up doing is starting big non-game-related tech companies.

It might be time for Long Island Ice Tea Corp. to transition from blockchain to AI.

It's just the natural evolution of "They're not advertisements. They're recommendations."

Assuming axios didn't have a postinstall script before, it wouldn't have been approved for a previous version. If you ignore it, you ignore it, but postinstall scripts are relatively rare in npm deps, so it would seem a bit out of place when the warning pops up.

so we just recreating the whole suite now? xD

I'm never seen the `::: header` or `![Logo](https://...logo.png){width="200"}` kind of syntax before. Is this custom or Frankenstein solution? Or is there some kind of md-extended pattern for defining components that has been gaining steam or smthn? Markdown tooling is always confusing, since everyone has their own standard.

yup yup same. That one's worked well for me. Between that and the deno std, it's nice to have it feel like mostly everything you need is available with very little searching.
