🏴‍☠️ Serge Keller I forgot how cramped and overcrowded the Gothard line is... The new Base Tunnel alone won't solve this, we also need new rolling stock.

Mark Dain Ouch. This was some marketing gone very badly. Although in the last few years Apple products have gotten less user serviceable. Even the new Mac Mini now has RAM soldered to the motherboard! I'm typing this on a Late 2012 Mac Mini which originally came with 8 GB of RAM but I upgraded to 16. The old non-retina MacBook Pro (still available) has some user serviceable parts but the Retina models are more locked down. This is the really sad thing; Apple can, and used to, do better than this. It makes me wonder if they want you to upgrade once a year? That works for phones but not tablets and definitely not laptops/desktops.
Nkrs I don't see anything wrong with using an older computer. Sure, newer software often expects newer hardware and things might go slower than usual, but I don't think that warrants a full computer upgrade every year (and if you ask me, software developers are to blame). I'm personally using a 7 year old desktop; I've changed the motherboard and added more RAM, but that's it. I do have a newer laptop, but it's much nicer to type on a mechanical keyboard and look at a 24" screen. Perhaps it's all rooted in culture - where I am from things are often used and fixed rather than discarded.

🦿 Lucian Marin I was just imagining an email client based on Markdown alone. Today I find that text/markdown (tools.ietf.org/htm...) is the official media type for Markdown. Somebody else might actually built a simple email client in the near future.
🏴‍☠️ Serge Keller That would be something interesting, _indeed!_ - Did you ever consider using simple Markdown formatting (bold, italic) for ? (not a request, just curiosity)

Martijn I don't think I would ever want to go back to slow news. But my stream of posts today probably gave that away already.
🏴‍☠️ Serge Keller Oh, I don't think it's intended as an "instant news vs slow news" angle, more as a thinking piece about how they can complement and enrich each other (my take anyway)

Eric I love instant & fast news, but I'll always get my fill of "slow" news from the morning paper the next day. Though this might be different now The Independent is out of print.
