How could the person you’re replying to have reasonably phrased their comment to avoid this snark from you? I’m 1,000% sure that they know what you’re trying to espouse. Nowhere in the comment does it say “here is an exhaustive list of host

I’ve been using Let’s Encrypt since its release, including for identical-sounding home / hobbyist uses, and have never had these uses. I’m not saying that our use cases are truly identical, but from what you’ve described, I don’t think

It’s a cute story that plays into the same old assertions about Steve Jobs, but the conclusion is mostly baseless. There are many other, more credible, less conspiratorial, possible explanations.

I totally understand the concern but I think that it’s well within reason that your analogy overstates the issue. I haven’t given it all that much thought, but to me it seems reasonable that there are enough different use cases that are sim

Really one of those “has anyone that built this tried using it for its intended purpose?” things. Not having a carefully considered cache warning solution* is like…if someone built a CDN based on a description someone gave them, instead of

You’re leaning heavily on “like” here. The address spaces are different. That’s the point.

Yeah, until another person like you makes the same argument about whatever non-local thing the residents spend all that saved money on.

They certainly have an effect on one-another. You can’t just say “old hackers!”. ALL codebases are tied down by legacy design decisions after a long enough period of time. Microsoft’s commitment to backwards-compatibility has inarguably res

Please don’t spoil this enjoyable nuanced conversation about Apple’s flaws with the usual laundry list of, frankly, unintelligent copy-pasted 2000s Mac vs PC online forum flame war talking points. You’ve referred to iTunes in the present te

“Users are dumb” is not and was never the attitude. On average, people are average. You’ve just got completely unrealistic expectations of people. You’re asking for the world to be built around your wants, needs, preferences, and areas of e

No. That’s your bias as a nerd. There are countless well-publicised examples of ‘many eyeballs’ not being remotely as effective as nerds make it out to be.

This is still a very dishonest representation of what’s actually happening.

Those evil CEOs pulling the wool over the eyes of the poor shareholders! This is the employment contract that was negotiated and agreed to by the board / shareholders.

Yep. If there’s one thing that Big Tech is doing even remotely better at in 2024, it’s letting the self-interest of the increasingly aging top brass guide the ship into making products that don’t assume that everyone is 20 years old with pe

They’re the one that demanded it. Don’t try to pretend that any more than 1% of the people at Google are actually doing anything that moves even the slightest needle, regardless of ‘rank’.

That’s only 50% of the KPI!

Ha. Facebook Page management. I used to work for a 5-person company, and setting up the Facebook page was one of the things that ended up on my plate. We were acquired over two years ago, by a Real Company, with Actual Marketing People. It’

My experience is that this is rarely true in reality. I live in a freestanding house in a suburban area (not in the US, let alone SF). I’ve moved a couple of times since I’ve started using AirTags. Even when none of my own devices have been

Linux is not a “major desktop operating system”. Let’s be intellectually honest here, particularly because you’re using the number “3” to bolster your argument that Apple is being negligent or unfair or whatever. Be annoyed at Apple for no

“Items” is not an Apple jargon term for AirTags. AirTags are not the only thing that can show up in this list. Third-party FindMy-compatible devices are quite common. Since you frankly seem to have a bee in your bonnet about Apple, I’d sugg
