Android uses the 'share' icon to represent the same thing, which is maybe a little more legible, but still feels like shoving way too many actions under a confusing modal they shouldn't be in. Even worse when apps implement a custom share dialog.

I usually see the Android share icon with the word share. Apple doesn't often present words with icons, so if you don't already know what the icon means, it's difficult to find out.

Arguably, it's a bit off that you share a document with a printer in order to print it, but I feel like printing is no longer so common as to require a dedicated button everywhere; and printing from a phone still seems like a novelty to me (but I do use it; it feels odd, but useful and I know lots of people have no computer to print from)

As of a few years ago, you could simply spoof your MAC to that of a Comcast subscriber with these and you'd get unrestricted access on the hotspot.

Im not 100% sure but I think for captive portal this would def work. For the authenticated wpa3 or whatever i think theyve actually added 802.1x

Maybe because the large time investment and trial+error in making good dough provided something to focus on when stuck inside.

To be fair you can say that of anything with a scripting engine, you could have all that in vim or stripped down emacs

Anything with a scripting engine isn't lightweight compared to (classic) Notepad!

(Also, a lot of that stuff comes bundled with Emacs out-of-the-box, further disqualifying it. Having a scripting engine is one thing, but having a scripting engine along with the whole rest of the jet is something else entirely!)

Beautiful, brings back memories of Dark Sky & forecast.io

lowkey gives cultural collapse type vibes

Yes.

I feel like this is going to try to tack on an affiliate link to anything I track.

Edit: yes it does, I just tested it and it appends '?tag=pricedropnotifications-emails-20' to amazon links, saying they earn a 'small commission' in the email fine print.

For a few years in the webcomic & blog space there was Ryan North's Project Wonderful, which served unintrusive auctioned banner ads that were usually advertising another creator's genuinely interesting work; I have no problem at all seeing ads for things sincerely made by humans.

How much of this was written with a language model?

None. I dictated several passages and transcribed with AI for convenience, though it was mainly typed by hand. I ran my final draft through Claude to catch spelling mistakes and unintentional repetition. Em dashes are my own :)
