Apple has strategically retreated a few times but it always puts on a show of doing it in a “forward” direction. Look for much of the annoyances of Liquid Glass to quietly be lost.

That existed for a very short period of time before it became simpler to just ship everything all the time. I remember at least one distro booting with a single processor kernel and detecting that it could use an SMP kernel and did I want t

The key (and not saying it's bad, mind you) is that the default install has very few services installed, let alone running or open. So even if Debian and OpenBSD ship the exact same web server, but Debian has it defaulted installed and

It used to be relatively standard even on the "big" distros to compile your own kernel if you needed something outside of the bog-standard. Modularization and all the related auto-detect auto-mod tools have resulted in most distro

Arguably from very early on the Church has been at the forefront of "Serfs are of value to the Lord" if you will (St Lawrence, et al). So far none of the AI stuff I've seen has really been about "the computer has no so

iTunes is still the best I have, mainly because it syncs well with iPhone, but also because it (kind) of just works, and I have a pile of applescripts to beat it when it doesn't. I still wish it was a bit better at finding lost files,

And most of those boil down to “voting for X decreases the things I care about increases the things I don’t care about; therefore those who care about those things are voting insane.” It’s inherently an argument that democracy does not wor

This is the truth of the matter - everyone else got off the train at millions or a small billion; the only people who ride it all the way to trillions are the pathologies.

If I recall correctly - it was surprisingly well known (in fact it was a common way to make fun of "lettered" people because they'd claim dates that were obviously silly; everyone knew when the solstice was). Some of the earl

That's happened a number of times on various items - bedrock patterns, nether rack layout, etc. It's all based on the seed and coordinates.

What kind of things are you looking for? Reach out to Pixlriffs, he has world downloads of his Survival Guide servers and likely access to the HermitCraft ones, too.

It's a rhetorical attempt to tie "those who dislike AI" to "those who dislike immigrants, and we all know they're super-duper evil". It's a relatively cheap trick, badly executed.

Maybe living in the “big city” sucks harder than I thought. I can and have gone days without a phone in “semirural” areas (not even Amish) and have been fine. Restaurants without printed menus are just not places I’ll go.
