ITT Trump was in that lecture.
- Comment on We refer to jeans as "a pair of jeans", but the only thing that there are two of is the legs, it's still only one item of clothing. 2 days ago:
I guess each leg qualifies as its own jean?

TBH not sure if it’s better or worse

Also looks good.

Yeah that looks about right.

I’m a Pentel man but the one pictured doesn’t look very comfy. I’d want something closer to #6.

Thanks.

Do any of those focus primarily on handwriting for input and support macOS, android, and windows for offline input?
- Comment on Microsoft is killing OneNote for Windows 10 1 week ago:
Doesn’t really solve my OneNote problem, as I run it on no fewer than 7 macOS, windows, iOS, and android devices.
- Comment on Microsoft is killing OneNote for Windows 10 1 week ago:
How do I know which one I’m using? Are you talking about the windows store one (tablet one) being the one that’s discontinued while the one that’s bundled with o365 (desktop version) being continued?
- Comment on Microsoft is killing OneNote for Windows 10 1 week ago:
Until they make a proper upgrade to my surface 10, I will have no other choice but to stay on the windows 10 version.

Classics! Work well for most things.

We need to think of some then!

Atheists: what are some good comforting words to use in place of religious/metaphysical crap like this or thoughts and prayers?
- Comment on How I use Mastodon in 2025 - fredrocha.net 2 weeks ago:
It’s investment vs payoff. I want to get a feed up and running, then I can tailor it as needed. My feed from doing this ended up better than 10+ years at Twitter trying to follow people individually, mostly because I was able to oursource the work of finding people with an interest in certain things to people who have put in the time to do this manually which I don’t have the desire to do.
It may just be that the Twitter format isn’t a good fit for me, but it worked at Bluesky in a way it didn’t work anywhere else using that style of communication.
- Comment on How I use Mastodon in 2025 - fredrocha.net 2 weeks ago:
That takes a long time. I went to bluesky and just followed some starter packs and was up and running in less than an hour with 1000+ follows and a nice feed. Within a few weeks I had more than 700 followers myself.
- Comment on How I use Mastodon in 2025 - fredrocha.net 2 weeks ago:
Building up a good list of follows on Mastodon is orders of magnitude harder than on Bluesky unfortunately. They need to address this if they want adoption.
- Comment on Apple ordered by EU regulators to open up to rivals. 2 weeks ago:
I disagree. Apple should not force other companies’ products to work in an inferior way to their own. They already tried to force us all onto wireless headphones by removing the jack. They need to at least allow the 3rd party ones access to the same pairing and multihoming tech they use for their own. Openness is never a bad thing IMO.

I love living in the EU
- Comment on Automakers urge Trump administration to clear way for self-driving cars 2 weeks ago:
With Tesla behind it, I’m sure it will happen and be an unmitigated disaster.
- Comment on Why I recommend against Bluesky. 2 weeks ago:
For me it’s the difference between something that’s usable for its purpose and something that’s not. As much as I wanted to use Mastodon and tried, it just never got off the ground.
- Comment on Why I recommend against Bluesky. 2 weeks ago:
Not setting up an account, that’s roughly the same. Adding contacts by topic, blocking topics and people with bad agendas en masse, etc. I started my Mastodon account almost a year before Bluesky. In Bluesky I had something useful in a week. In Mastodon I still don’t (and it’s not for lack of effort).
- Comment on Why I recommend against Bluesky. 2 weeks ago:
But Bluesky does have a lot better features when it comes to actually effectively using the platform. Getting set up on Bluesky is orders of magnitude easier than Mastodon, and I do think that’s a big part of why it’s become the preferred destination recently. Mastodon had a real shot early on but didn’t make it easy enough for people.

I hope this is true because we can’t afford to lose the last good guy printer manufacturer.
