Yes, I agree. So, I guess our only hope is to get Woz back..?

Steve Jobs was an extremely unusual CEO. He was hands on, talked to designers, developers, and users, and actually cared about making good products. Tim Cook is more of a regular CEO that wants to make money for the shareholders. He started

Not sure, Europe isn't a country. There's the EU, but members of the EU have their own governments. I can't figure out why people keep getting confused. Turkey and Russia are in Europe, but not in the EU, for instance.

Ohhh... Thank you! Is this new? In previous version I could just right-click and it would open it.

I can't seem to open it. It keeps saying "Apple could not verify “Posturr.app” is free of malware that may harm your Mac or compromise your privacy.". I tried opening by right-cliking on the app file, holding option, etc. I&#

What is "the government in Europe"..?

If you're looking for what the damage was, it failed. Potential damage: "Most notable was one [attack] in Ukraine in December 2015. It left roughly 230,000 people without electricity for about six hours during one of the coldest m

OpenAPI is a superset of JSON Schema. You can look at properties in JSON Schema and turn that into UIs. For instance, strings would get a text box, enums would get a dropdown, etc., with validation and everything. Check this out as an examp

OpenAPI is great, there are a lot of tools to go from OpenAPI to UI, but you don't have a lot of control over the presentation. For instance, you can specify that "first_name","last_name" and "email" are s

I loved Pigdin! The UI and brand was so good, too, for Linux back in the day...

They would probably cut them some slack and buy it anyways.

I know that there is a regulated meaning—at least for food—even down to the region (Scotch, Chianti, Champagne, etc.) or even city (Modena, for balsamic vinegar), but laws aren't the same in every country. "Made in EU" would

Correct, Russia is in both Europe and Asia.
224.
by altern8 9mo ago
I would say both. BUT, lack of users might just be that it's too late, now. People use web-based tools like Figma, I wouldn't think a lot of people are looking for a Photoshop alternative.

by altern8 9mo ago
Maybe "made in the EU"..? That is not the same thing as "made in Europe".
226.
by altern8 9mo ago
Sure, but the U.S. are a single country, while Europe is many different countries that are completely different. I'm in Poland and can drive 2 hours and stop understanding what people are saying to me (in German and Czech). That was my

Yes, exactly. It looks like it's focused on business but its name sounds childish. If I mentioned that in a corporate meeting people would just laugh at me, I don't think it helps their case.

I don't think Whatsapp sounds dumb. It's "what's up", and it came out when mobile apps were getting popular with everyone. I immediately got it when I heard it the first time, and it sounded good to me. "BirdyC

It just sounds—let's say—too playful. Specially if you go to the homepage and they're trying to market it as a work too.. If I went to my boss and tried to make the case that we should move all of our encrypted communication from

I thought the same thing. I also don't think there's such a thing as "made in Europe", as if it was "made in USA". Is it made in Germany, Italy, Albania..?

by altern8 9mo ago
This is pretty amazing, but I wish they picked a better name for it. I have a feeling that a good amount of people will dismiss it just because of the name.

Yes, it's been working well.

I see AI as an awesome technology, but also a like programming roulette. It could go and do the task perfectly as instructed, or it could do something completely different that you haven't asked for and destroy everything in its path i

Correct. Exactly my point.

Yes, 100%. That's part of what I meant by "green initiatives".
236.
by altern8 9mo ago
Well, green initiatives made us stop using coal. Also, we've started exporting because of carbon credits--which caused prices to skyrocket.

I like nuclear. But I think it's a huge investment that would take decades.
238.
by altern8 9mo ago
Yes, this would be good but I have a feeling it will never happen.

by altern8 9mo ago
I see. That makes sense, every interesting thanks.

I'm not sure, prices here in Poland have skyrocketed because of the EU green initiative and we started exporting and prices went up 3-4 times. I'm good with protecting the environment. Here, though, we're making European comp
