Nondeterminism is always fun
On Mac the default is to allow ports to be bound multiple times. I’m not sure how the OS decides who “wins.” I hate this default enormously.

I have, in fact seen private email. It involves sending an encrypted attachment containing the actual message
It is important for you to realize that you have probably never once in your life sent a private email. That’s just not how email works. Sure, turn off whatever Gmail features you want, but you’re just playing whack-a-mole with the technical realities of email as a concept.

This is why I have stopped using Gmail except as the email that I give when online shopping. My main email is Proton now.
Google turned their service into a dumping ground for spam.
So that's how I use it.

Their real fear is probably that they lose the ability to use their data extraction tools with most Android and iOS devices rather than a tiny minority of GrapheneOS devices. Despite how frustrated we are with Google, we're seriously considering trying to help them a bit more because of this.

I really hope signal for Android will get material 3 expressive just so that their Android app isn't getting neglected with the bare minimum. If they are aiming for a native look for IOS then it would only make sense to do the same by implementing a native look for Android.

Nano Banana Pro, released this morning, is clearly the best image generation model. Superb instruction following, plus it can generate full infographics (with correct spelling and properly rendered text!) from a short prompt based on running extra searches simonwillison.net/2025/Nov/20/...
Nano Banana Pro aka gemini-3-pro-image-preview is the best available image generation model
Hot on the heels of Tuesday’s Gemini 3 Pro release, today it’s Nano Banana Pro, also known as Gemini 3 Pro Image. I’ve had a few days of preview access …

investments in solar power lower costs for consumers so much that in some places they're literally giving away free energy during the day, but sure.
it won’t feel good to say but it is crucial to actually admit this:
democrats’ pivot to affordability is already seeing them tear up climate policies
and any effort to lower costs for consumers will conflict with investments in renewables, unless even more money is poured into them

Democrats’ New Affordability Message Is Complicating Climate Policy
The transition to clean energy will be expensive today, even if it’ll be cheaper in the long run.
