Pro looks like garbage, air is thin but has camera plateau, normal looks the best but thick. I’m switching from 16 Pro to 17 Air because the cameras probably aren’t worth the extremely ugly pro and I want a thin phone that doesn’t bulge my pockets.

If you need any reason to not use Dropbox, they're killing their password manager and deleting all user data on October 28th: help.dropbox.com/installs/dro...

Who deletes all users' passwords with this little notice? Absurdity.

@marcoarment.bsky.social your sunscreen is actually on Amazon Japan and will ship to the US. It’s 917 yen ($7) for 6.5oz. If you buy a few of them, it will make up for Amazon Global shipping charges. www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/SPMUV-L...

You need a $200/mo subscription to #ChatGPT Pro to use the Black accent color.

No, I mean, it's the usual reddit conspiracy, etc. But the actual live site does indeed omit Section 10 of Article 1. constitution.congress.gov/constitution/ (still live like this).

I suppose if it's an error => embarrassing.
If it's intentional => why? gaslighting?

constitution.congress.gov

@reckless.bsky.social fyi, the constitution has been edited on the website to remove all of article 1 section 10: web.archive.org/web/diff/202... (old.reddit.com/r/law/commen...)

I would guess Google Fi or an MVNO with a multi-MNO agreement similar to Fi. Fi technically can switch between multiple domestic MNOs depending on availability and signal strength so it wouldn’t surprise me if they have overseas deals, especially since they have good data roaming.

I'm pretty upset that the commercial VPN providers just got handed a huge use case on a silver platter. Now any hope I have of them gradually being discredited for vague privacy claims is completely dashed.

particles! @particles.jp · Aug 3

ProTip is that at some point all carriers unified like this: if you're data roaming in another country, you're VPN'd back into your carrier's home country. Also, if you use an eSIM from Ubigi, Airalo, etc., those carriers' home countries are where your data originates.

The best hint at what Pomerium actually does is the fact that they claim it's an oauth2 + nginx replacement. Just say how things work in simple terms. I get that you want to market to decision maker X who isn't technical but how about speak in terms people understand?

particles! @particles.jp · Aug 3

"Our product does /all the access/" okay can you have a marketing page that says in 35 seconds how exactly it works? Am I going to be needing to validate JWT on my app? Is it a reverse proxy? Is it an auth sidecar? Oh it can secure AI? Lovely. I don't have time to learn your jargon. I'm just leaving

particles! @particles.jp · Aug 3

So much enterprise software is acronym hell, fancy marketing pages that hop on whatever the zeitgeist is like "Pomerium secures agentic access to MCP servers" and it's covering up for perfunctory software + docs. No, I'm not impressed.

How about saying what your product actually does?

If Cloudflare can't protect one dumb service in my personal world why would I touch it with a 10ft pole at work?

particles! @particles.jp · Aug 3

I'm not trying to secure an important service either. I just want to decrease my attack surface when running a service that already has a login. But Cloudflare pitches this to companies as a way to ditch VPNs. How many people turn on a tunnel and see this behavior in enterprise?

particles! @particles.jp · Aug 3

For "Zero Trust" networking Cloudflare sure does endeavor to make sure anyone can access your apps/services by-default. It seems like the default behavior should be locked down/deny, but when you create initial tunnel stuff it has a significant propagation delay. Does not inspire confidence.

particles! @particles.jp · Aug 3

My experience with Cloudflare Zero Trust is abysmal. I created a tunnel with `cloudflared` and migrated it to Zero Trust with Access/Applications in the web dashboard and just like, the service I created and mapped doesn't get a login page? Then half an hour later, the login page appears?

I personally view the 12 days of shipmas from OpenAI as a failure. Gimmicks like 1800ChatGPT and Santa Mode weren’t particularly remarkable or useful. Most importantly, the final announcement is basically vaporware that’s too expensive to even run. Sora is already outclassed. Just horrible.

On the other hand, Death Note accurately portrays overwork culture by showing Light’s father continuing to work while hospitalized due to work related stress leading to heart attack.

particles! @particles.jp · Dec 15

Death Note has several plot holes, including the major one that Light Yagami did not correctly sort his combustible waste and electronics, which are disposed of in different collection methods, and did not have his trash returned to him for not using a transparent bag.
