  I actually said “bye Fash-licia” to Reddit last week. I thought about trying to get banned for something stupid, just for the story. But instead I just quietly deleted the account.

  Truth. I grew up in Florida I always had breaks (first job was at age 16 at a pet store and I had LOTS of jobs after that) and was shocked when a friend of mine was working a fast food joint, in management, and had no lunch break. I told him he should sue and then we saw the law. Guess all my other employers were just cool or something. (I mean, they weren’t paid breaks—my friend was not even given the time in his schedule for breaks).

  Just EVERYBODY adds Waltz to their Signal groups.

  Was a committed G2 guy for YEARS (ultra fine all the way). But I’m a lefty, so ink smears were still a problem (though the G2 is better than most on that front). Then I learned about the Sarasa Dry pens from Zebra. The ink dries INSTANTLY, and writes like a G2. But they’re hard to find so I always stock up when I see them.

  Not sure if it fully counts according to the question, but I can’t imagine playing any version of The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker that’s not the HD version for WiiU. That dual screen perfects the game and renders all other versions unplayable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'For too long, Apple has operated a walled garden around its products': The EU forces Apple to open its closed system to third parties⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The security approach was what first drew me to Apple back in like 2005. The whole focus on proprietary software that resulted in practically zero malware was definitely worth me having to do file-type conversions on documents and all that crap to keep up with people on Windows. And I loved it. And I kept adding every device and loving how seamless they all interact with each other.

  But then there’s that shadow side you refer to. The gradual dumbing down of software, the constant hand-holding. The walled garden began to feel like a lock-in.

  My last new Mac purchase was in 2011. I still use that machine. But I was not getting security updates and other things I use were leaving me behind so I decided to give Linux a try. Chose Ubuntu and the hardware was suddenly like new again. Apple makes beautiful machines but waste them on some increasingly basic software. My Linux-run Macs have made me fall in love with computers all over again.

  If this somehow results in me being able to run like Graphene on my iPhone in a few years, or even connect my Apple Watch to a non-Apple phone, I will be pretty excited.

  Yo this is making too much sense and I’m not even high
