If you need organized religion to be a good person – you’re probably not a good person. Decent human beings don’t require religion to be decent human beings. If you believe you need organized religion to start being a decent human being – you likely need psychological help more than organized religion.

In the TestFlight app, if you saw a message says ”the developer removed you from the test program.” that’s a bug of TestFlight. I did not remove anyone from the test program of Mona Beta.

To continue using Mona Beta, please tap “Stop Testing” on TestFlight’s Mona Beta page, then use this invitation link to re-enter our test group: https://testflight.apple.com/join/xNdgUbh6

Randomly noting: if you’re in the US, in April of 2024, the US will have a solar eclipse pass over a bunch of states for the first time in 7 years, and for the last time in *decades*.

It is an indescribably wonderful experience to be in the zone of totality. This article kinda covers it:. If you’re not sure if you’ve seen one, you haven’t. It’s the most bizarre thing where it feels like someone flips a light switch and turns off the sky. https://www.space.com/37791-go-see-the-solar-eclipse-in-person.html

TIL: lace cards

It’s a computer punch card with every possible spot punched out, so what remains is a flimsy filamentous net of paper that instantly tears and jams up the card reader.

Old-school denial of service attack.
