What’s also wild to me is if these were buddies of Jesus, they had this story of his birth, then nothing for thirty years, then a couple things, then death.

Where are all the stories about teenage Jesus doing sick jumps off a camel or whatever? We are missing a few decades of knowledge about this supposed most important person ever.

I remember when I learned all the gospels were written decades after the “fact.”

I can’t remember what I ate for lunch yesterday, and we are supposed to believe people played a game of telephone for a few decades and got everything correct when writing it down?

Sure, Jan.

Time for Tim to go.

Now that we know our stupid president wants to attend the game, I’d love it if Kendrick just went off during halftime.

Yeah, this one guy has been trying to jumpstart so many projects. And that’s admirable, but it’s also too much for one dude (and I know he’s tried to get some other people, but there has been drama around that - by him, I think).

But more to your point - something feels a little off even though I can’t confirm anything. It does feel like this guy might just take some money and run if given the chance.

And I don’t necessarily blame him for that - I probably would too. I don’t want to work, and if I had money I wouldn’t.

But there’s just this feeling I can’t shake about all of it. And I have a Pixelfed and a Loops account. They are both fine, so we’ll see, I guess. But I wouldn’t be surprised if I end back up with Mastodon being my sole social place for sharing photos, for example.

Yeah, I paid for PCalc because someone put in effort to make it, and it’s good. Don’t feel bad about that.

But I wouldn’t subscribe to one.

Perhaps some work on a sidebar for navigation for tablets or desktop?

I know Apollo never had that, but when I’m on my iPad I tend to use Arctic simply because it uses the real estate better. But I use Voyager on my phone.

The people there seem pretty chill in my experience so far.

I wish there was an easy way to know which servers are getting hammered more than others.

I can easily make a post to my server via the website, but the app was giving me trouble, as an example. That’s why I wonder where the hiccup is/was. Both the website and app are just interfaces to get data to a server, so if one doesn’t work I’d assume the other doesn’t too. But I dunno.

Edit: After writing this I went back and tried posting from the app again. It finally worked! I guess things have settled down.

I have a Pixelfed account and have tried the app.

But I can’t actually make posts using it. Don’t know where the hiccup is.

It also gives a “free” music service, and while it’s not excellent by any means, that keeps me from spending MORE money on another music service.

I just like that I can log in on my AppleTV and it works immediately with no ads or bullshit.

Bala-tro, not Ba-lottro.

I mean…I wouldn’t hate it.

Give me a flat phone instead that doesn’t wobble when you set it down. No, I don’t care about cases.

Bring back that iPhone 4 is what I’m sayin’.

(Calm down nerds. I’m not being that serious. You don’t have to hyper analyze this.)

I read it yesterday from a link a friend shared - if it is the right document, that is. It seems like it is.

And it’s what you expect: insurance screwed over his mom, and then him, so that plus a lot of stuff he was reading radicalized him to do what he did.

I still am happy with my M1 Pro.

And, honestly, for a while I was using it with a monitor, and that dual screen setup wasn’t too terrible. However there are just enough issues with Stage Manager to make it annoying to use for long stretches at a time.

That is to say: I agree they have too much power that isn’t being used well.

Really?

I mean, do what you will. No worries either way. But it does surprise me to hear lots of people turn their computers off all the time. I tend to just let them go to sleep and then wake them back up.

How often do you turn off your computers?

I feel like “buttongate” is one of the biggest non-issues the internet has gotten riled up with in a while.

I have turned mine on once since I got it at launch.

I’m one power button press in the last month with it.

And then it just goes to sleep (and wakes instantly with a button or mouse press).

100%. I’m typing this comment on a M4 Mini that the original post is about, and it’s just so nice. And things work. And I don’t have to worry about it. I can move my mouse to the edge of the screen and connects to my iPad and I can control my iPad that way. It’s cool! And I didn’t have to read some ancient texts to figure it out.

Linux is not bad, and people who use it aren’t bad.

But that doesn’t mean they aren’t kinda annoying to hear all the time, saying “it’s so easy” when you have spent hours trying to figure out why something that feels like it should be simple doesn’t work. Or they say, “Oh, yeah you just have to run [some command in the terminal no one would ever guess] to make [your issue] work.”
