Me too. And I'm speaking from using it at Rdio 15 years ago.

Nothing since (Gerrit, Reviewboard, Github, Critique) has measured up...

Thanks for your work on Rdio. I miss it. Were you around when that guy managed to spam plays to get fake albums to the top of the charts?

It's a fatalistic attitude. Some kind of is/ought fallacy. This is why we need precepts like "Focus on the user and all else will follow."

But... what if the users are mere vessels and true users are actually the people paying for it. I am saying it half-jokingly having watched big short. I dunno man. I know by now I have a line, but I know that line differs from person to person.

To your point, some of this stuff is loosely defined its no small wonder management is able to play word games.

Gonna see if I can implement https://chiptune.app in an actual TUI with this.

Shout out to Digsby as well. Similar app from around the same time period.

Haha. That was wonderful to the very end.

Wasn’t it George Orwell who said “writing is thinking”?

That sounds true when you have already internalized the idea. But my environment never even suggested in can be approached this way. My school didn't teach me how to write, we just had to. Uni didn't explain this either and that was part of the reason why I dropped out. You can't make progress when you don't know what questions to ask and nobody sees your struggles and provides guidance.

This is cute and I hate stubborn Apple bugs as much as anyone. But these $100 billion figures should be weighed against the hypothetical trillions that Apple has contributed to humanity.

I guess we need a font rendering engine for arbitrary subpixel layout...
