I've been trying to convince my wife to go with an iPhone so we can decide what all the fuss is about Apple's phones. She won't do it as she prefers Android too.

I get it. But favorites are a choice and there are always new favorites waiting to be discovered and chosen elsewhere. I just wouldn't settle with a phone I really didn't like. My house is strange in that we have Macs and iPads but Google Pixel phones instead of iPhones.

I was never a big fan of Pat Benatar, but for some reason I'm really liking her music and songs lately. Funny how our taste in music changes over time. #music

I commented on Verge. I'm a little confused. You like the Pixel (and Android) better than Apple's iPhone. Yet, you're not willing to part with old favorite apps for potentially new favorite apps? I would have stuck with the Pixel 10 Pro given you said "you're not thrilled" with the iPhone 17.

How to Spot a Paper Tiger Candidate before the Interview? | socPub In much of today's hiring, it can seem there is a fog to parse through. The problem is, you get dozens, if not hundreds, of CVs, and many of them look great on first sight. However, once you start talking to candidates, the truth becomes clear: the skills do not align with what is being on paper. You may think you are bringing a cannot candidate into the interview, only to find a paper tiger candidate, strong on paper, but without the real expertise.

2) Me having fewer follows and fewer followers on Mastodon than Bluesky

For those that are on BOTH Mastodon and Bluesky, which do you like better and why?

Trump administration will pay a French company $1 billion in taxpayer funds to not build wind farms | CNN The Trump administration announced it will pay nearly $1 billion to French energy giant TotalEnergies in exchange for the company abandoning plans to build offshore wind farms in the Atlantic Ocean and instead pursue fossil fuel projects in the US.

This is so stupid. We as a country are going to pay $1 Billion to a French company so they won't generate 4 gigawatts of electricity from a wind farm for US households and businesses.

There is no precedent for this rate of March snowmelt in the Sierra Nevada. Many stations have lost more than 12 inches of snow water equivalent in 30 days, including @cssl.bsky.social.
