I am more confused than when we started, what exactly are you saying macOS is doing that nobody else is doing? > use readline bindings in a textfield I don’t even know what this means.

You…ever see a screenshot of Gnome? This statement of yours is also a bit silly considering Linux desktops have way more in common with macOS than with Windows. They share a whole bunch of concepts like POSIX compliance, use the same shells

I like XFCE for capturing the spirit of an era, and it’s still lightweight, so in that sense it’s excellent. If I was more purely looking for something lightweight I think I’d end up with some other choice with a more modern design language

No off-site backup for me, these items aren’t important enough, it’s more for “oops I broke my computer” or “set my new computer up faster” convenience. Anything I really don’t want to lose is in a paid cloud service with a local backup sy

I use Pika Backup which runs on the BorgBackup protocol for backing up my system’s home directory. I’m not really sure if this is exactly what you’re talking about, though. It just sends backups to network shares.

Asking for anything out of Time Machine is a lost cause. It’s essentially a completed and legacy product. I migrated to Linux + Pika Backup. For photos I use Ente Photos with their managed cloud storage plus a continuous export to my NAS. E

In my experience migrating to another provider from iCloud, this hasn’t been a significant issue. Live Photos in particular are not really proprietary in the sense that they’re implemented in an extremely simple way that basically every pho

The thing is, LLMs aren’t redistributing your code. You’d have a minuscule chance of an LLM actually reproducing your code verbatim without major modifications. Copyright and copyleft only deal with source code distribution. Your last sente

I both agree and disagree with you. The thing is, copyright law is not really on your side. Viewing copyrighted material without paying for it is not generally something people get fined for. A lot of training falls under fair use that over

I know it’s not the same application but Quicken Simplifi definitely connects to investment accounts. Hundreds of hours makes me wonder what distribution you chose…I think if you choose something that’s more designed to work out of the box

Based on your assessment you’d have almost no issue at all. I’m almost certain you’d have no trouble running Quicken or Ableton. Ableton even has a Bottles configuration available, which is a one-click GUI install: https://usebot

I don’t really agree with the “Windows 11 is unstable” narrative, especially compared to the ways that system updates on macOS and Linux have not always been 100% stable. The functionality of the iPhone connection to Linux is not unique to

Since when does government set trends in private industry? I’d like to know what private businesses are copying the kind of workflows and customer experience you get at the USPS or DMV.

So, I guess it’s a country-dependent jump to conclusions? I have had a lot of banks and credit cards, mobile payment apps like Venmo/PayPal in the US and they almost all work on mobile web and desktops. But I recognize that wealthy wes

Let me clarify my statement: one government agency’s election to use an app for a single purpose isn’t an indicator of much. It’s not like the UK sent out a mandate to private banks or any other private industry on this issue. It’s also onl

I think there is a slight distaste in how the article conveys concern, almost like a light xenophobia on the issue. With the one year and done nature of college basketball, that must mean that the US has its fair share of elite high school

This seems like a massive jump to conclusions.

No, you’re not making an argument in the context of political economy. You’re making an argument based on nothing: no data, no studies, just anecdote and personal opinion. I don’t take seriously your attempt to hide it behind a supposed “ob

No they’re not. And if they are, goodbye! I can’t imagine a state the fifth largest economy in the world and a population of 40 million would miss 186 people if they decided to leave. Sorry, did I say people? I meant creatures.

Prices don’t just magically go up that way? If I live in India the PlayStation 5 isn’t magically price reduced to $100 just because my income is lower. Similarly, it doesn’t magically become $5,000 if I live in Monaco.

Good news! There’s a progressive left that cares very much about widespread suppression of civil liberties! Contrary to common misconception, you don’t lose your tech bro man card if you join them! The best part is that you also shed the ph

Here's the problem: the Republican government is against almost everything that is proven to improve health outcomes. They are against transit funding, urbanism, bike lanes, etc, and are pro-automobile and pro-car-dependency. Remember

This now seems like even less useful information than before. They literally changed to doing an entirely different business. This would be like saying I hired two sandwich artists, but sandwiches don’t sell well, so I fired my sandwich art

The majority of businesses fail within 5 years. Are they using AI because it’s better or because they have no other choice? If I hire two sandwich artists for 6 months but nobody buys my sandwiches, I don’t have much choice but to fire them

I disagree with your last paragraph. This math is not obvious to most laypeople. Many people think that if a McDonald’s worker’s salary goes from $10 to $20 that their Big Mac will go from $4 to $8. My napkin math is extremely generous to m

It’s this already debunked by the famous Danish McDonald’s example? This is also debunked simple napkin math, even if the napkin math is generous to skeptics. Let’s say you buy a product for $100 with these example costs: $30 of the price g

Those companies weren’t multiple person teams. They were one person teams with contract work. Maybe you know the details of the kind of money they were paid or how involved they were with the work but that could mean so many things. I’d hav

Let’s not forget the massive bias in the author: for all we know this post is a thinly veiled marketing pitch for “how to use the most tokens from your AI provider and ramp up your bill.” This isn’t about being the most productive or having

I’m surprised so few comments have pointed out how this doesn’t matter at all to anybody. The “apps are too bloated” debate is a dessicated horse. 1. You don’t even have to use the Gmail app to use Gmail. Pick whatever flavor of client you
