A lot of people are correctly noting the galling hypocrisy of US conservatives who spent decades fetishizing gun rights and specifically the insurrectionary theory of the 2nd amendment suddenly justifying a man’s public, summary execution on the grounds that he was (legally, non-threateningly) armed when he encountered police.

And I get it. They are hypocrites. The hypocrisy is galling. I get it.

But I am begging you to move rapidly past this realization to a place where you never, ever take this people seriously for even the tiniest moment. Everything they say, every single thing, is said instrumentally to achieve their goal of power in that particular moment. There are no principles. They will not feel shame when caught in the discrepancy. Do not waste time on it, do not entertain it, do not debate it, do not lend it credence as an idea that warrants a serious and considered rebuttal.

Do not take them seriously ever again.

Every year I end up revisiting the fact that #Apple #Photos has absolutely crap exporting and archiving features, so this year I decided to rewrite my #macOS #export scripts in #Swift:

A Christmas classic

I would—honest-to-god—buy an iPhone 4S form-factor phone and an iPad 2 form-factor tablet if they were available to run modern software. I think those were pretty close-to-ideal products.

More holiday cheer. For those of you asking about Safari’s “stable” Interop 2025 score…
