macOS Catalina asks to introduce the new features. I agree. It opens Safari instead of Firefox, my default browser. Upon closing Safari, macOS asks if I want to keep Firefox as my default browser with the option to switch to Safari being in the default button position. Gross.

Should I wait for macOS 10.15.1?

Why isn’t Google Slides smart enough to recognize code and not apply curly quotes?

Life insurance in the US apparently is regulated primarily at the state level. I have no state, so that complicates things.

One company wrote back saying they can’t cover someone who lives in Switzerland. That is not relevant information to me, a resident of SWEDEN. 🤦‍♂️

I am trying to buy life insurance because it’s the responsible thing to do now that I have a mortgage. Options in Sweden are waaay more expensive than in the US, so I searched for expat life insurance. It hasn’t gone well.

Update: I enjoyed a raspberry White Claw and a pumpkin spice hard cider in Portland, OR last week.

Apple liked my Tab Tosser extension for Firefox so much that it built the feature into Safari in iOS 13. Cool. #PriorArt

Beautiful welcome back to Stockhome

I gave up on the third level of Untitled Goose Game because the controls were too frustrating to use and I couldn't get anything done. Twitter was right: it was too short of a game. 😞

Do No Harm open source licenses effectively prevent your code from being used in commercial software because it becomes a liability for anyone using it if their customers become harmful ~IYHO~ at some point. I agree with the desire, but it creates a new level of dependency hell.

Most databases’ Wikipedia articles are far more informative than their marketing websites. “Big companies use us!” is less helpful than CAP tradeoffs, licensing, comparison to other databases, etc.

The photos from the 1939 New York World’s Fair showed so much optimism about the future, even on the cusp of the Second World War. https://rarehistoricalphotos.com/1939-new-york-world-fair/

Microsoft just showed the future of mobile computing this morning.

Fire up the copy machine, Cupertino.

I need recommendations for a coworking space in Stockholm for 1 month. Got any?

I love raisins. They’re nature’s gummy bears.

I enjoyed “Inside Bill’s Brain” on Netflix. I hope the ideas Bill Gates has pursued post-Microsoft become commonplace. https://www.netflix.com/title/80184771

Someone stop Amazon from putting Alexa into every fucking noun.

How are the peaches in America?

I hear they’re…in.
