Consider the lilies of the goddamn field.

Those stupid effing TurboTax ads are the only time I’ve ever been motivated to actually write feedback to apple about a feature. So aggravating and user-hostile.

The first few times the App Store opened to TurboTax while scrolling past, I assumed it was my fault and I was somehow misclicking. Then I slowed down and confirmed, no, this is the intended behavior. It’s meant to pop up and disturb your reading.

What slimy behavior. And the fact that it’s TurboTax of all companies they’re doing it for is just salt on the wound.

I use µ for microns or micrometers µm. Option + m.

Also if you need ad-hoc bullets, just reach for option + 8.

• Like this.

The difficulty in accessing symbols like these is one of my (I'm sure correctable) hang-ups when using Linux — Arch, btw.

Assuming we take the statement "more free market equals more efficient outcome" as always and absolutely true, it raises the question: Are the healthcare-related needs of a society aligned with the most efficient outcome that a free market can deliver? I don't think they necessarily are.

Are there any alternatives to Github that offer similar bang for the buck? Particularly for very small teams or solo devs that need private repos? The author here specifically mentions Codeberg, which seems like it's just for FOSS projects.

Yeah. I wish subtle design cues didn't turn folks off from useful software. That said, when I was test driving terminals a few months ago, I saw WezTerm and just skipped it because the main image shows the opacity-enabled terminal with a Cyberpunk image in the background, and that just seemed…amateurish? Dunno.

This article is convincing me to give it a second look.
