I migrated off Evernote years ago. I don't recall what I used immediately afterward, but nowadays I'm self-hosting Nextcloud. There's an optional notes app accessible from the web interface and from Android devices (and possibly others, though those are all I care about).

I actually look forward to the day they charge for carry-ons.

I'm pretty sure Spirit does that already, and has for years.

An interesting take, to be sure. I don't see it, at all, but maybe others will. https://www.youtube.com/live/U...

digikey may have them, but on Amazon they are still owned by the scalpers.

...but for how much longer? As word continues to get out that you can find RPi hardware at MSRP, who in his right mind would pay what the scalpers are still trying to charge?

I have been using GCP/BQ heavily for 7+ years now and we're GCP native at my current company for nearly 5 years.

Google's penchant for deprecating products is a constant worry for me, particularly our insane reliance on BQ. While BQ StandardSQL is close enough, lifting and shifting to something like AWS or Azure's cloud warehouse tooling would definitely be a headache.

That said, with their deep integration w/GA4 reporting and continued development of BQ, I am guessing they make enough money (particularly after their 25% price increase for on-demand) that it'll stay around for another few years.

Fingers crossed because, honestly, I don't want to have to deal with management of our warehouse and BQ makes it easy for us not to worry about that at all.

Still here occasionally, though /. is only one of several sites whose RSS feeds I follow...and it's not one that I check every day. I couldn't say when I last posted a journal entry; I'd have to look it up. Things that would've gotten a journal entry in the past tend to be posted on my blog instead, and even those posts are rather irregular.

The official app only allows you to block 1000 accounts. On a site with millions of users. They don't tell you clearly that's the reason; the app just gives an arbitrary error message in 99% of cases.

That's shitty design and operation intended to stop you from blocking all of their advertisers.

Where is the money going?

Unnecessary layers of process complexity and upper management/C-level bonuses.

Well, Adobe is trying to purchase Figma but is running into regulatory concerns. Their entire reason for making this free to students is to hopefully drown out the negative attention from it being .

That said, Figma is not intended to be an Adobe replacement. Adobe is attempting to buy it to bring it into the fold so that they have a more robust collaborative UI design toolkit.

They're called taxes and infrastructure subsidies. The problem here, oversimplified, are twofold:

1. We already paid "Big Telco" billions for infrastructure and they pissed it away.

2. We allow all companies to not pay their fair share and thus the revenues are down.

Governing and taxation are broken.

There really isn't any reason at all to link to a site that has a wall when the same information is available elsewhere.

The only way to get me back (and I assume many others):

1. Spez is immediately removed and gets no $ on IPO for breaking just about every ethical rule in the book. He is a piece of shit human not only for this but many other issues over the years.

2. API access is restored and is reasonably priced. They don't get to determine that price; the market does and the market has spoken.

I used to have years worth of Rainbow magazines for the CoCo, which all got destroyed in a flood in the mid 2000's.

Is there an archive (whether fully legal or otherwise) of those magazines of which you could acquire a copy? The publisher of Nibble made the whole collection available on DVD a while back for a reasonable cost, so I snagged a copy and read it into my media server.

Before my decades-long involvement with the Apple II, I learned BASIC on my grandfather's CoCo and was starting to pick up 6809 assembly language before moving overseas. I have a CoCo 2 packed away in storage that I picked up cheap in the '90s and wouldn't mind picking up some of the magazines, such as Rainbow, that were available for it.

JuicedGS is still in print.

Do magazines for legacy/retrocomputing/obsolete/whatever platforms count? If so, I suspect there are several other publications still extant. For most people and most purposes, though, I'd be inclined to say it doesn't count.

(I say this as an owner of multiple Apple IIGSes (and some IIes and a II+), though I've never subscribed to Juiced.GS. I had a Nibble subscription from 1985 until publication ended in the mid-90s (and had a program published in the April 1990 issue), and an Open-Apple/A2-Central subscription from a few years later.)
