I keep running Power Delete Suite and the comments keep getting restored. Pretty shifty of them.

Last I heard he's working on one for Tildes instead, sad to say.

Think you have a bottle of Tres Comas sitting on your keyboard...

I've always used RiF - it duplicates the desktop layout better than the others, along with so many other features. Wish its developer was moving on to a Lemmy app, but he's cranking out one for Tildes instead.

I still use it to lurk - the shitstorm over there is quite amusing, read the latest announcement at r/videos. Yes, nothing but John Oliver videos - but the screed this is delivered with is a thing of beauty.

Had the week off from work, who doesn't love those? Mostly a staycation, went to a nice musical gathering, jammed with friends too, got stuff done, cleared head.

I see that he's written a post-pandemic sequel, too, Survival of the City, I'm going to give that a shot.

Ha, there's a Tilde webring. That's like a jet powered Wright Brothers glider.

UPS employees overwhelmingly agreed to go on strike if their demands aren't met by July 31st. These Amazon drivers are on strike now - all 84 of them, at one facility, obviously. They're like the Boston Tea Party.

By contrast, there are 340k Teamsters working for UPS. Their forming picket lines will grind things to a halt in really short order. Good on those Amazon drivers! Hope others join in solidarity.

Edward Glaeser's Triumph of the City is a really detailed and interesting account of all the good urban areas have done for us.

I just watched it again for the umpteenth time and finally figured out that he's probably saying "U2," but it sure comes out sounding like YouTube.

Calling their site Twitter always baffled me - wouldn't people be put off by what you're implying? - or impressed me with their frankness. Why not mindlessblather.com? Doesn't roll of the tongue the same way...

Wow, he's complaining about Twitter 3 years before it came online. The other day I found a video of Henry Rollins complaining about YouTube in 1985.

Ah, Lemmy code growing pains. Another one I've noticed, I think it's the deadly combination of All + New, and it's a live firehose of postings. That's to be expected though...kind of cool to watch, actually.
