If you sell it directly to another human, or even use something like ebay, you'll get more and they'll pay less.

Thanks, I’ll look into doing that :)

Excuse me, do you have a minute to talk about fountain pens?

I recommend a Lamy Safari or Pilot Kakuno to start. If the nib is good, no pressure at all is required to write. You have to retrain to relax your hand and arm if you're used to ballpoints and graphite. High quality paper is not required but it can make a big difference too.

As far as digital, .txt will always have a special place in my hard drive. As long as a tool has a way to export into plaintext, I am not opposed to using it.

I'm definitely curious about fountain pens. I'm one of the few people I know that still writes in cursive.

And yeah, I still use .txt occasionally! Though mostly these days it's .md.

Wouldn't the whole system be the product then? There's tradeoffs, but that's just integration.

Check out the spellings in the original folios though: https://www.folger.edu/explore/shakespeare-in-print/first-fo...

Our school books have all had some (very helpful) translation work applied to the original text.

Spelling fixes feels like an "allowed" cheat though IMHO. You are still with the original. Spelling wasn't very standardised and you want to get the word across. Changing word order and idioms though, then we are veering into "translation" territory.

3.1. Might is right and money helps the medicine go down.

No it’s not

Just intuition ;)

Not disagreeing with any of your points, but this is a good trend right?

https://github.com/apple/container

> container is a tool that you can use to create and run Linux containers as lightweight virtual machines on your Mac. It's written in Swift, and optimized for Apple silicon.

That would have been an impressive piece of technology in 2015, when WSL was theoretical. To release it in 2025 is a very bad trend, and it reflects Apple's isolation from competition and reluctance to officially support basic dev features.

Container does nothing to progress the state of supporting Linux on Apple Silicon. It does not replace macOS, iBoot or the other proprietary, undocumented or opaque software blobs on the system. All it does is keep people using macOS and purchasing Apple products and viewing Apple advertisements.

If they did, I would also replace my iPhone, and I'd help family do the same.

Anything that beats a refurb m1 mac mini for $250?

I appreciate these priorities!
