Dear @Bonobos: You haven't paid @squarespace for the site you use to block visitors from outside the US. Maybe just stop doing that? codecookread.com/dont-block-…
ALT Safari window showing bonobos.com in the address bar, Website Expired prominently, and the Squarespace logo at the bottom right. Less prominent text: "This account has expired. If you are the site owner, click below to login." and a button "Owner Login".

Response to API feedback at #makewithnotion: “Noted.” Not: let’s see if X is here from our API or developer relations team. Not: here’s how to file a feature request or here’s our roadmap. Very strange.

Yegor is someone we really want to welcome with open arms. It's a tragedy that he's worried about being able to stay and contribute. We can and should do better.

I’ve never shared my immigration story—until now
I lost the H1-B lottery in 2017 and was 'kicked out' of the US
I crawled my way back in 2022 after getting into Stanford, Harvard, MIT, etc.
I hope Trump allows me and other AI talent to stay this time
My journey to America:
- 2007: Dropped out of 8th grade in Spain. Taught myself coding and built a B2B ecommerce business that hit $500K revenue to pay for my mom's cancer treatments
- 2010: Lost my mom at 18. With no high school degree, European universities shut their doors
- 2011: America stepped in.🦅🇺🇸 I aced the SAT, got a GED, skipped 5 years of school, and moved to the US to enroll in college
- 2016: Graduated college Summa Cum Laude & a Olympic Weightlifting National Champion. I was living the American Dream
- 2017: Worked at DHL in Miami (Americas HQ), leveraging my fluency in 4 languages. They sponsored my H1-B—but I lost the lottery
- 2018: DHL relocated me to Global HQ in Germany
- 2021: Applied to Stanford, Harvard, MIT, Columbia, Penn, and Dartmouth... thinking I'd be lucky to get an offer from one of them. I got into *all* of them
- 2022: I moved back to the US to start at Stanford
America owes me nothing, but I owe America everything

Congratulations @siegel@mastodon.social on 30 years of @bbedit@mastodon.social. What an accomplishment! My favorite Rhode Island product by far, even more so than coffee syrup. Great work, Rich and team. barebones.com/

Could stubbing one’s toe badly generate enough immune response to reduce swelling in one’s knees? A friend off social media recovered 50-80% in 9 months from a knee injury yet went from 80-97% the day after they stubbed their toe. Forwarding to med followers welcome.

Problem: Messages for macOS has a numbered badge but you can’t find any unread messages.
Solution: Choose View -> Unread Messages then switch back to View -> All Messages, and that will clear the badge.

Shout out to Rocket, one of my favorite podcasts 🎙️.
Hosts @film_girl@film_girl@mastodon.social, @briannawu@mstdn.social, and @doomquasar put on a great show.
The segments on scammers are a delight.
Best of all, this episode is sponsored by ... micro.codecookread.com/2023/…

It’s a bit of a bummer that there’s no “Report Junk” button in Messages on macOS. Can do on the iPhone. Would also be handy on the Mac.

“Get app for M1” was never a good idea, but it’s even worse now that there’s an M2. If one refuses to use a Universal Binary, I’d say at least use “Get app for Apple Silicon” to future-proof a bit. I suppose those doing this are least receptive to such advice.
