This may finally drive me to just use Apple Mail for my Google Workspace account. I know it's not a fair comparison, but an app I made that's in the App Store is only 8MB.

Mosh has been solid for so long. Love it.

How many vacations does this guy take??

I feel like you can say this about many politicians. A lot of the work of politics isn’t done in the Capitol building, it’s done on vacation with your favorite senator’s family.

Plus the Vice Presidency is a ceremonial job.

Probably about the same amount that you do, it’s just you don’t have media following you around everywhere reporting your every step.

If he is on vacation, he can do less damage

  * family ski trip to Vermont in March
  * family trip to Disneyland in July
  * family kayak trip in Ohio last week (on his 41st birthday)
  * currently on a 10 day visit with family to the UK

The total is about 18 days of vacation in 201 days in office. That's more vacation that I get. Is it high for politicians?

Seems pretty normal amount from many western countries / EU perspective though. A quite standard 30 days paid time off could go like:

- Christmas to New year off (~3-5 days PTO + public holidays paid)

- Winter holiday in Feb/March (5 days PTO)

- Maybe a week off around Easter or Ascension day (4 days PTO + public holiday paid)

- 3 weeks off in the summer (15 days PTO)

- A long weekend in the autumn (1 day PTO) or a week if you didn't take a week off in the spring

-> 30 days PTO total

Conservatives famously advocate for similar policies here in the US.

When you think about what they do for a "job" can one really say if they are on vacation or not?

We had an Omnimax theatre in Vancouver, BC, and I always loved going to it as a kid. The little introduction before any feature was a highlight where they showed off the capabilities and turned on the lights behind the screen at each speaker so the audience could actually see where the sound was coming from.

I also can't believe how many cars display a terms of service Every. Time. You. Start. The. Car.

So incredibly ugly, tacky, and unnecessary.

"All those decades of the arms race, and it turned out there was no greater damage you could inflict on a state than ensure it was led by an idiot." –Mick Herron, Bad Actors (from the Slough House/Slow Horses series)

Not sure idiot is the right word for Trump.

I've been considering getting a Steam Deck just to play this game.

My wife has played a few hours of Tiny Glade on her Steam Deck and it runs well with functional controller support. Perfect fit for a cozy Sunday play session!

I've been really hoping someone makes an OBS plug-in to simulate the Max Headroom stutter.

Would love to see a "paywall" tag added to posts so I can just filter them out.

I usually just skip any post from WSJ, NYT, and some others I'm forgetting for just this reason.

That’s a great idea. I was just thinking the same thing yesterday.

I have some personal projects for which I use a Terraform stack to build out a CodeBuild-based pipeline. It was very convenient to create a CodeCommit repo because all of the access could be defined via IAM without the need for any Github Personal Access Tokens. Doesn't seem like I'm in any immediate threat of having to change that, but I guess I'll have to adopt a different strategy for new projects.
