Chrome OS Flex and CloudReady
At first I missed the news, but today I somehow stumbled across it: Google has released an early access version of “Chrome OS Flex”, as a result of the integration of CloudReady into Chrome OS. CloudReady also ran under my radar until today, but I did take the time to give both a try. ⌘ Read more

@movq@www.uninformativ.de To clarify, Markdown is just text. 😊 I can do bolding, link things, and if single return multilines ever comes to jenny, I would be able to do bulleted and numbered lists.

The only things—that I know of—that doesn’t work is “> “, but I can use “>”, like so:

D’oh!

So, jenny allows me to write Markdown almost just fine!

In my quest to find a nicer HTML layout for my site, I just found bloated JavaScript thigs and shitty Google Fonts

I am not the sort of person who worries a lot about their career growth. I never was a manager and I was always happy to just quietly hack on interesting problems. If you can find the right corners to work in, Google is a pretty great place for that kind of attitude. Tech Notes: Leaving Google

Hot take: the lack of targetting effectiveness in Cambridge Analytica & Google Ads doesn’t excuse it. There are 4 sins here: taking the data, trying to target with it, targetting poorly, and overselling targetting accuracy. They compound.
