@Satsuma a lot of people like to use apple as an example of planned obsolescence because they assume that the closed garden and lack of serviceability means they constantly make you buy new ones

when actually it's that the reason they are able to do the closed garden and lack of serviceability because they last a good long time

you can tell whether someone has ever owned an apple device by whether they know how long they last

@packetcat it is significant in this case though; DNS is case-insensitive but XML and RDF are case-sensitive (and actually do not parse URLs at all)

@packetcat some websites convert it to lowercase automatically and it always makes me unreasonably frustrated lol

@Satsuma ordinarily the object of the verb “enter” is the thing being entered into not the thing which is entering

you ever think about how we say “i will enter the password into the box” and not “by me, the password will enter the box”

the KIBI calendar also recognizes this as the first day of Yuletide 💜
