I’m gonna try this at work. May report back.
The image contains a letter to the editor referencing a column from The Economist’s Bartleby section about seating choices in relation to workplace hierarchy. The letter, written by Mike Danagher from Ottawa, Canada, draws on Luke 14:7-11 from the Bible to suggest that humility in seating choices can lead to greater recognition. /s The passage encourages sitting in a lower place so that the host may invite one to move up, illustrating the idea that those who humble themselves will be exalted. The text is displayed in a serif font on a black background.

With a TikTok ban imminent, it’s hilarious that the top two apps in the App Store are Chinese-owned, and Lemon8 is owned by TikTok.

Over the last few years, I have gotten into the weather – check too frequently and even purchased an outdoor weather monitor to get a bit hyperlocal.

This sucks. Looks like Apollo, the best Reddit app and experience, won’t survive this.
Reddit announces new, very high API pricing Today I had a call with Reddit about API costs, the proposed pricing is far higher than I ever imagined, nearing Twitter's pricing at a cost of $12,000 for every 50 million requests, which will massively affect third-party apps.

End of an era. The possible exposure notification had a lot of promise during the peak but for overblown privacy concerns.
iPhone notification that possible exposure notification is ending.
