Touché.

There is definitely a balance between self worth and pragmatism in that comment, but being self aware enough to recognize it pushes me toward believing its pragmatism. Maybe that’s just a reflection of my own self though.

Sounds like a way for bluesky to track all putbound clicks and then slice it up in some sort of admin tool for each brand operator to view their referrals from bluesky inside bluesky. That’s as opposed to using the natural referer (sic) http header that would allow the brands to track the stats themselves on their own servers.

Google has been doing this deliberately for years (maybe forever I forget when they pulled the rug on the referer header)

Check the privacy policy. It’s about all you can do these days, and hope it doesn’t change post fact.

They just recently removed the ability to transfer your kindle books to a PC or other device for backup, which makes the kindle a lot less appealing. Not sure where else you can buy books that are natuve epub that can be moved to other readers though.

What about both? User supplies bad input? HTTP 400 with response body json describing the error in a standard format?

That’s only about what twenty pounds? That actually seems pretty reasonable.

Negan and Maggie are still alive? I stopped watching anything walking dead after Glenn.

What is the timeline for this?

I hate ads too, but almost no normies are willing to pay for services, so I’m glad they have nitro to reduce ads in my face. It’d be nice if it wasn’t that way but that’s not my choice that’s the choice of the collective to take ads for free stuff.

In my experience, places with lousy bourbon selection have even worse rye selection.

That plus soda water on top.

This is a big one. I have a lot of Google photos usage, and while I’ve tried OneDrive and PrintDrive, and while both are decent they don’t really match up and I’ve been hesitant to self host immach or something because to ke the point of a cloud photo storage was to be part of my 321 backup strategy.

Getting bounced from photos for youtube usage would really be a tough pill, but it would definitely hasten my exit.

Definitely the biggest issue that I face. Managable, but frustrating at times.

While I mostly agree, the duplication of shared links is definitely a problem that is frustrating once you have a setup you like and follow a few similar communities.

I think most places have a senior freeze, so once you qualify it doesn’t go up anymore.

I don’t see how running high beams held you see when there is oncoming cars with brighter lights. Maybe it has more to do with the fact that older cars are smaller and lower?

I am not disputing new cars have higher brightness on regular lights, that absolutely is true. Though running high beams throws light both forward and up toward the oncoming drivers eyes.

I don’t disagree. There are plenty of led upgrade kits that are way too bright regularly and also probably misaligned causing them to be double bad. Brighter than normal and aimed directly into your eyes.

I’m with you though, driving at night used to be a lot different and more enjoyable than it is today with all these extremely bright lights pointed at your eyes.

It isn’t just you. I see it all the time where I live in Chicago. I think it must be folks in smaller non-led headlight cars trying to “keep up” with the natural brightness increase of regular cars. I really don’t understand, its selfish and dangerous in my opinion.

My tinfoil hat theory, is that since all traffic enforcement seems to be lower since the pandemic, there’s nobody getting pulled over and told to knock it off.

Separate but related issue I also regularly see it at night on road trips throughout the Midwest. Ten years ago, just about everyone would flip their high beams down when approaching traffic in the other direction, now its almost none.

There’s a load of cars with headlights that are overly bright, but there is an even bigger epidemic of idiots driving around with high beams on as part of regular course.

In the city there is no need for those, ever. Let alone always being on.
