Spreadsheets are such a killer app.

Anybody know a good TUI spreadsheet app that can import and export csv, or even just a TUI csv editor? I have been unable to find one.

About 5 or 6 years ago I interviewed a girl who had been working on that tech, and it stunned me that the suspicions folks like me had were being verified by a software engineer that had worked on the feature. I want to say that looking back may naïveté seems quaint, but it’s still terrible and unbelievable that most companies spy on all their users’ communications and lifestyles at literally every opportunity.

Honest question: how does hurting consumers even more solve the problem? Is it a deterrent to the original tariffs or something else?

It me, but excel is the bad option and plotly is the good option.

Chill out, I already had enough reasons to not use those sites.

Does some part of him still give a shit about his country?

I doubt it. This is probably for selfish reasons.

Yes. For instance https://www.brennancenter.org/ recently did a tabletop exercise where they looked for all the worst things that could happen during a trump second term and looked for ways to stop them from happening. See (or rather hear) https://youtu.be/9SlnDvGHhBw

If you do end up eating one, tell us how many bytes it took.

These are the people that fear unisex bathrooms and ban books.

One of the big turning points for Facebook for them to increase the difficulty of switching was cutting off RSS as a way to syndicate content into Facebook. After that, content had to be manually created in Facebook, instead of automatically imported from a third party source based on standard protocols. This forced people away from their chosen content authoring system into Facebook’s opinionated, inflexible, ad infested walled garden.

But here’s the thing: all those other platforms, the ones where I unwisely allowed myself to get locked in, where today I find myself trapped by the professional, personal and political costs of leaving them, they were all started by people who swore they’d never sell out. I know those people, the old blogger mafia who started the CMSes, social media services, and publishing platforms where I find myself trapped. I considered them friends (I still consider most of them friends), and I knew them well enough to believe that they really cared about their users.

They did care about their users. They just cared about other stuff, too, and, when push came to shove, they chose the worsening of their services as the lesser of two evils.
