Biking will never be a transportation solution for everyone all the time. But what e-bikes (and especially e-cargo bikes) do is expand the range of bikeable situations, giving more people more options for an incredibly fun way to get around!

Seems needlessly cruel to award just one Oscar to Wes Anderson, rather than two placed very precisely on either side of him.

"It's not easy being an anti-DRM activist, especially heading into 2024. Not content with locking down software and streaming media, the massive corporations peddling this unjust technology have even extended their reach into the world's libraries. OverDrive is the worst of these offenders..." Read the full article about IDAD 2023: https://u.fsf.org/421 #LearnLibre #EndDRM #Libraries #ebooks #DayAgainstDRM

A late dinner—prepared on time but neglected in favor of a computer game—led my son to be victimized by the remark “Those who forget the pasta are condemned to reheat it”.

Honestly I’m surprised he hasn’t simply smothered me in my sleep by now.

I live in a suburban area in the USA. I don’t have a lot of space. I’m thinking of buying a foldable bike for both recreation & maybe even biking the mile or two to work occasionally.
What is the best deal for weight, size, durability, & price?

Sad to hear they're discontinuing work on the Apple car

Apple's trying to scuttle PWAs out of pique, blame regulators for their tantrum, and gaslight users, businesses, and developers about who is breaking their apps and why.

Kramer bursts into Jerry’s apartment, wearing an Apple Vision Pro headset. “Jerry, I’ve entered the next dimension!” he proclaims, narrowly missing the coffee table.

Jerry, skeptical. "Kramer, how much did that set you back?"

"Jerry, I found the perfect solution. I'm renting out my apartment on Airbnb to cover the cost!"

Jerry, eyebrows raised, sets down his coffee. "You're renting out your place? Where are you sleeping?"

"Oh baby, with spatial computing?! I’m never sleeping again Jerry!”

Today in 1968 — MISTER ROGERS' NEIGHBORHOOD debuted on NET (the forerunner of PBS).

My column for Stuff this week is ‘My phone does everything, which is why I want to resurrect my iPod’.

I realise my inability to focus for more than about two seconds is a me problem. But as I look around, I find it’s a ‘lots of other people problem’ too.

So apparently the term "patch" in software development comes from punch cards.

"Small corrections to the programmed sequence could be done by patching over portions of the paper tape and re-punching the holes in that section."
