@matigo Been reading the early BOFH stories again?
It is a terrible thing to fall down the Youtube music rabbithole shortly before "bedtime".
Excel has lambda but no regex.
I'd probably be okay with not using Google Sheets as a pre-processor for the day job if Excel had regex.
Some real nostalgia cleaning up my Dropbox connected apps list.
Like drag2up [antimatter15.com] for example, which I connected in May 2011: a browser extension that enabled drag-and-drop uploads (instead of going through the file browser popup) made for an era before such a thing became standard.
@matigo Hong Kong comes to mind 🤣
Surely there must be some haven, just as there are tax havens.

Wow, what a joke. Excel Forms (Office 365) can't submit a response with data type of number, only text.
@joeo10 I have long wondered how long it'll be before some sites move their HQ outside of the US.
I feel that sites like Hacker News and Reddit are only becoming more important by the day. Platforms like these allow us to share links to independent sites — blogs above all — that exist outside of the walled gardens of the giants and have their own design, their own voice, and crucially far less moderation.
I'm sure age also has a lot to do with it, but it feels like the web has actually become smaller since the early 2000s. Part of that is thanks to search engines actually returning useful results nowadays, but a big part of it is also that, in so many contexts, if it doesn't exist on Facebook/Instagram/Youtube, then it's considered not to exist at all.
Unrelated: the most useless consequence (for me) is also the most salient: the lack of design on so many pages nowadays. Everything looks the same because everyone uses the same templates — if they have a choice at all.
Quicktime has gone to crap since QT Pro went away. Especially frustrating that I can only export audio as m4a rather than wav (for further processing into flac). I refuse to compromise on quality here.
