Running and writing, usually slowly, in Thailand for 11 years.
And here are 5 more (from other 80s tech magazines)! buttondown.com/suchbadtecha...
Some not-so-bad ads from 80s computer magazines: Christmas edition!
I really wanted to look at holiday ads. But not all of them were awful so we're switching things up!

It's such a prime example of enshitification. Constantly adding crap that no one seems to use and just clutters up the space, which is weird because they also have a massive accessibility team working on making it more accessible for people who use assistive technology

I'm in the middle of his baroque cycle, which, so far, are the only books of his where I enjoyed the endings as much (or more) than acts 1 and 2. Love the guy's work but boy do his endings always feel like B action movies

Thanks, @segdeha.com. It's been a fun, if somewhat self-indulgent, project. I fell off the wagon after a PNW trip for my sister's wedding. Your post got me back on the horse!

I'm building a thing to compare all possible matchups (e.g. not a knockout structure) because sometimes first place still loses to others further down the ladder in qualitative matchups (i.e. you never compared Twilight to Wonder Woman)! Here's the same list without knockout

Review Kagi's browser Orion. I can't use it since I'm a boneheaded PC user, but I'm a very happy Kagi user and curious about the promises Orion has made

Sing the national anthem! It'll definitely fix problem number 2. And...maybe problem number 1?

I've been off social media for almost a decade. Came to Bluesky because of feed control, muted words, and other customization stuff made it feel more manageable. Primary goal was getting more connected to the running community (since I live abroad) and...yea...not great so far haha

Haha I finished all three of those but don't think they're particularly amazing. More like bad attempts to insert characters into a Brian Cox lecture. Why do books like these garner such cultish followings

*1,923 PAGES, not words. This is what reading long-winded descriptions of floor tiling does to my brain.

The one where Max tries to find his gay persona category, realizes he doesn't fit into any (including sitcom gays), and makes his own (that a bunch of others immediately join) is everything amazing about that show. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GemR...

Started Pantheon last night because I will support evangelists of Happy Endings in any way I can.
