Having a label for a recognized and observable human condition does not condemn it. And it also doesn’t mean that we ought to medicate anyone with a label. What it means is some people are able to potentially improve their lives by recogniz

Honestly, I really appreciate this comment! I am quite a fan of LLMs for coding, learning, brainstorming, etc. But I’m also a musician, against AI slop media (who isn’t?) and of course most of the other negatives you cited. It’s not like I’

I wore my original beloved AirPods Max for a walk one Edmonton winter day and they became a brick. I found out quickly that it’s a well known design flaw with internal moisture build up, exacerbated by fluctuations in temperature. Did they

I use wireless headphones most of every day. I used to buy IEMs with detachable cables so I could replace them when they inevitably broke. I don’t feel I was being careless at all. I don’t break anything else in my life. But my cables broke

> macOS This is the most counter-intuitive, user-unfriendly, confusing piece of software that I’ve used in my life. Insane hyperbole in my opinion. Most of his complaints are that of a power user, and because it’s missing something he

I’m immediately reminded of John Siracusa’s rant about Wikipedia on his old Hypercritical podcast. This is a lengthy rebuttal from (presumably) a Wikipedia lover that includes a link and timestamp to the original podcast segment [0] I agree

That's not really fair; Apple's in a sticky wicket when it comes to the Chinese government, and they're not the only ones. The Chinese government are debatably inhuman. They've literally censored the word "censorshi
