already ditched them most of them and moved to self hosting movies, TV shows and music. I’m still paying for music but the latest drama of losing tons of classics on YouTube music due to SESAC licensing has me rethinking what I’m even paying for.

Any sites out there even serving JXL? With a “global usage” of 13%, I don’t see many developers wasting their time on it unless there’s some niche use case that requires it.

Oh, hey! Wasn’t even a problem for me.

Alternatively, download Organic Maps and contribute to OpenStreeMaps and help make the best alternative even better.

From their page:

  • Detailed offline maps with places that don’t exist on other maps, thanks to OpenStreetMap
  • Cycling routes, hiking trails, and walking paths
  • Contour lines, elevation profiles, peaks, and slopes
  • Turn-by-turn walking, cycling, and car navigation with voice guidance and Android Auto
  • Fast offline search on the map
  • Export/import bookmarks in KML/KMZ, import GPX
  • Dark Mode to protect your eyes
  • Countries and regions don’t take a lot of space
  • Free and open-source

Scrubs! [0] [1] [2].

It had a great 8 season run (the 9th season doesn’t exist, ignore those who incorrectly say it does). The show was funny, insightful, great dialogue, characters, serious moments and a great cast. Additionally the music choices in each episode were always top-notch. Note that “a handful of songs were replaced in the versions released to streaming services such as Netflix and Hulu due to licensing issues.” [3].

Lastly, “IGN gave the first season a perfect score of 10. The seven following seasons were rated, respectively, 9, 9, 9, 8, 7.5, 8.3 and 7.5” [4].

By that simple logic any new browser will be ridiculously behind Firefox. Firefox’s code base has been in development for nearly 30 years - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netscape_Navigator

I was excited for it up until I saw what happened. I get the perspective the maintainer might be coming from, but they made a huge deal out of something that shouldn’t have been.

Sure, but it’s worth asking why the management is so poor

Could just be incompetence.

Working in a bigger corp and seeing people continuously fail upwards or get hired into positions where they run around like headless chickens - sometimes the reason is leadership putting people in the wrong role and not holding them accountable because its easy to “fudge metrics” and believe things are going well.

The strategy I’ve seen far too often:

  • Deliver a half-working project that is bursting at the seams and requires more work and resources (or introduces a technical debt that most people can’t even begin to comprehend).
  • Leadership declares it a success because a long enough train wreck takes time to be noticed when you’re near the end of the tracks and the people at the front lines are doing everything they can to avoid it.
  • Find a new job before the shit hits the fan (typically hold off until your RSU’s fully vest) and talk about how you implemented X while saving company Y and how successful it was.
  • Leave the place worse off than before.
  • The project/implementation starts showing signs of failure and leadership blames others (because the guy who implemented things is now gone and he did things so well how could it possibly be their fault?)

Too often I’ve seen meetings between management not even understanding what their “core issues” are. How do you even make a business better if you don’t even understand your pain points?

It’s both fascinating and scary.

Hard agree. Apple’s ecosystem is primarily completely closed-source. If you abandon them or they abandon you you’re left with nothing. At least with open source-based projects like Chrome/Firefox you can fork the code and not have to start from zero against a goliath. Apple would never give its customers that kind of leverage.
