I have a friend who is self-employed. He uses an iPhone and a MacBook Air. He only uses iMessage, Numbers, Safari and Apple Music for entertainment. He gets away with 8gb just fine and rarely has to reboot.

He probably could use a Chromebook or something even lighter, but the support and ecosystem were enough for him to pay the premium. His time is valuable to him so it was worth it to him.

Accurate.

What is the obsession with shitting on people’s choices? I don’t understand the irony of demanding choice in this industry, then shitting on people when they make a choice you don’t agree with.

1Blocker has been the best for me, as it works with all of the Apple devices and syncs across them. Another option is to enable reader mode by default on all websites, so instead of getting the site with all of the ads, you’ll get a reader view without the ads and distractions.

I actually like Apple’s approach to AI more than all of the others. I don’t care for Microsoft’s implementation at all. I just try to avoid Microsoft in general on top of that, so no need to complain about it.

But I do think Apple’s approach to AI from a privacy and implementation perspective is what I would prefer from a software vendor.

iPhones also have this feature, for a long time now:

Rather irresponsible of the article to not point out these features on Android and iPhone. Did a cop or government official write that article?

I guess I need to start looking deeper into this, and the potential for importing existing infrastructures into pulumi’s purview. But I’m hesitant - I don’t want pulumi to pull a Hashicorp. I’m wondering if it’s best to just go with CFN and Bicep.

…was.

That doesn’t mean they will be around forever. Economic realities care little about whether a company is good or not.

VGER is coming back.

Thanks, Zuck, we were all waiting with bated breath for your statement.

Absolutely same. I hate having them in my house, supporting them, and dealing with them when they shit the bed because they’re too underpowered to run a fucking web browser. School systems need to stop buying these goddamn things and stop caving to slimy salespeople selling Chrome plugins for schoolwork.

You’re not missing anything. It’s rife with scammers.

Good luck finding talent who wants to work for Elon Musk

I’m GenX, and I spent about ~25 years in the corporate racket before I realized that they don’t give a fuck. I’m all about living now as well, and I encourage others to do the same.

It’s really not as bad as people portray. Most sites do work in Safari. There are some problems, but they’ve been pretty good about licking them over time. It’s passable enough that I only have to punt to an alternate browser once in a while.

I’ve tried to use Firefox, I really have. But Firefox absolutely murders my battery and I’m sorry, but they need to do some serious usability improvements… especially around the container implementation and tab management. It’s confusing as fuck (to me).

UbiSoft needs to get comfortable with execs not making sales targets.

Sadly, it is a trend.

Teams won’t even open on Safari. Must use a chrome-based browser (like… Edge!)
