an appless policy

 I operate under the goal of not having to install apps. My first reaction if I need something is to see if I can use a web page.


I broke my normal approach I installed the jellyfin app because I just didn't even think to check the web page. After probably a year of using it and having mediocre results because of some sort of bug related to playing some videos I happen to visit the web page on my phone And it worked great after that I uninstalled the app immediately.


I wish that more things were appless don't you?

million pixels

 I remember a time way back when where you could buy a pixel on a webpage. All the pixels available summed to a million bucks, kinda cool.


I came across this on hacker news the other day.

Reading the context was just fascinating.

 It just reminded me of the million pixels, but I really loved that with a blank canvas people were doing some funny/interesting things!
