Ben Munson @munson.land · 29/09/2026Apple TV 4K in my living room bricked itself last night, good thing I have two older HD models, but it would be nice if Apple brought out some revision to the product next month, I’d hate to buy years-old hardware. 010

The use slurs against the disabled and fantasize about enacting Crusader violence against their enemies. I wish the Pope would speak directly on this. 644257326

Ben Munson @munson.land · 19/09/2026my perhaps-uncontroversial opinion is that maps software should not display on the map businesses whose "address" is someone's residence. If I can't go there in person, i don't care about them. Juking the stats with "Great Tamales" and "World's Best Garage Doors" just clutters the actual interface. 221

Ben Munson @munson.land · 17/09/2026Story here: apple.news/AqFyaxeNFTLS...apple.newsPeople’s houses are collapsing into the ocean. FEMA gives them no other option — NPRWaterfront homes are collapsing along the coast. Homeowners generally have plenty of warning before their house buckles. So why aren’t most houses removed, or at least emptied, before they fall? 000
Ben Munson @munson.land · 17/09/2026Part of me thinks “property speculation can go wrong”. But it’s not about making this owner whole. It’s about correcting an environmental imbalance. Govt should do what this owner can’t (or in some cases won’t) and destroy the house, before it pollutes the ocean. 100
