Yep, Apple generally does right by apps it acquires, but I am still a bit disappointed that Audion wasn't the base of iTunes. It would have been so much better. SoundJam just wasn't as good, not by a landslide. https://daringfireball.net/2024/11/apple_tends_to_do_right_by_apps_it_acquires

Honestly, WHY? There are a million ways to host a website, and this just seems like a giant waste of time. Can someone enlighten me to the benefit of this? https://danielmangum.com/posts/this-website-is-hosted-on-bluesky/

I had no idea SQLite had such deep roots in Tcl. I also fondly remember using Tcl extensively when writing scripts for my eggdrop bots in the 90's. https://www.tcl.tk/community/tcl2017/assets/talk93/Paper.html
