The post is still relevant and it's not about not being able to open non-Apple software, but about Apple contacting their servers before anything is started. Apple is not blocking a lot, but step by step they're building their way

I will try my best, but at some point I feel this won't help. 98% of people have no problem with this. In fact they probably even see this as a positive, finally they don't have to identify via these shitty video services from var

Some years ago I had deliberate weeks in my life where I just went back to my old 2G brick phone from like 2001. I was amazed how it was still working perfectly. I mean, yes, 2G will be shutdown even in Germany soon, so the old phone isn&#x

This doesn't make it untrue, instead it just confirms it (I know you didn't say or mean to disprove it, just wanted to add my thoughts here). People make dumb decisions and don't think about possible outcomes twice, or even o

Usually A/B testing is just on the surface, and when you actually subscribe you get the "better" terms of the possible options. Like, they're just advertising different terms to test how many people would still click on

While I feel the same way, this is nothing new at all. Basically every company does this and it's a totally normal way to test new profit models. Has been done for decades. People acting surprised here really need to get on with realit

I mean, this is why they do A/B testing. This way of testing stuff is not new at all, people who act genuinely surprised need to do a reality check. Companies want to maximize profit. They do this by testing what creates the biggest pr

No one is claiming that every sentence LLMs are producing are literal copies of other sentences. Tokens are not even constrained to words but consist of smaller slices, comparable to syllables. Which even makes new words totally possible. N

It feels like you're purposefully ignoring the logical points OP gives and you just really really want to anthropomorphize AlphaGo and make us appreciate how smart it (should I say he/she?) is ... while no one is even criticising

The number is small in comparison to the whole humanity, yes, but this is not at all what it's about in this post. Did you read the article? Instead, it actually is literally about each individual's immediate sphere, which, as you

But IIRC this is the same on Windows and other OSes, no? Like, I'd argue that it's the default behavior then. Also, I think it should be like that. And yes to switch between windows of the same application it's Cmd+Shift+´. N

It does not work as long as you stay strongly intertwined with the capitalist complex, correct. But I'd argue that in basically every region of the world, you have the choice. It may be harder or easier, but you have it.

Yes, if you try to force a material value on everything, you will get a material value. I would pay a shit ton to have loving and supporting friends, but this is not how it works. Because loving and supporting friends don't want money

I feel like that article contradicts the meaning of OPs article in almost every way. The Cracked article comes from a very neoliberal, self-optimization hustle-grind culture: work on yourself so you're worth more for others: an incredi

I mean to be fair, (1) there are replacements, AltTab and Switcher for example, and (2) why replace ot touch something that isn't broken? Cmd+Tab is supposed to switch to the next open window, and it does exactly that.

I resonate with OP a lot, and in my opinion, it's not about the code quality. It's about the effort that was put in, like in each LOC. I can't quite put it in words, but, like, the art comparison works quite well. If someone

The biggest problem of all this crappy development in Windows and macOS is that they just threw customization out of the window. Remember Windows 98, when you could actually just right click on the Desktop and select your own colors for bas

While I feel so too, I do actually think that objectively Catalina is a UX-side step up. Current displays have 16:9 or even 3:2. Putting less things in the top bar and more stuff in the sidebar, especially in something like Pages where your

The biggest argument for me to buy one of these phones - when they actually arrive - next to running GrapheneOS, will be whether these phones, like all others, are way too big to use with only one hand. Like, I don't have a lot of requ

That's interesting, Firefox and Safari on iOS 18 do open it - didn't know that they changed the default behaviour in 26 apparently. But yes it's HTTP-only, I think it's by choice.
