Man, there were a few years there where my opinion on Microsoft had really turned around. But between the recent AI ick and now this kind of growth-hacking trash on Windows, that's evaporating fast

@luigithirty this sounds appealing to me, so i afraid

Huh, I guess I've been somewheres but not everywhere, man

@thomasfuchs Will they be using their hand-luggage as weaponry in the arena?

@rlonstein Heh, my EU map is far less interesting

@jpf I counted "visited" as seeing some sights and not just passing through or a layover - but "stayed" would involve an overnight sleep at least.

@onelson FWIW, I've had really good luck with my neglected static blog on AWS S3 + cloudfront. Costs under US$1 most months and sometimes I look at the S3 logs

@onelson Yeah, my main thing is probably momentum. I've been hosting this stuff on S3 since probably 2007 or so. These days I mainly use a github action to "deploy" after a git push

@onelson Yeah, I've flopped between jekyll, some other SSGs, and lately my own DIY trash.

Main thing is just to spew into a build directory and that action does the S3 needful. It doesn't care how the build directory content got there and I mostly don't care how it works (well, maybe a little, since I had to hack a second action for RSS feeds)

@onelson My problem was Content-Type, which may or may not also be yours 🤷‍♂️​

@onelson Ah, yeah, I have also had that problem at various points heh

Going for a bike ride. I wasn’t going to make it a pizza lunch ride, but my wife said “enjoy your pizza” as i left. So, my route may now have changed.

@arcans Even native english speakers disagree on what the terms mean in that map 😅

Personally, I took "stayed" as having spent at least one night sleeping, where "visited" was maybe having spent most of a day wandering around but not overnight.

e.g. I "visited" Ohio to go to an amusement park for a day and then drove back home. But I "stayed" in Florida to sleep in a hotel for a week. I "lived" in California because I rented an apartment and had all my stuff there

This article is basically an ad for iFixit's 65W GaN USB-C charger, but a) i kinda want this charger and b) the charger's case has a transparent bit and c) the article has links to a few other examples of clear-cased electronics
