The author's attitude is so off-putting. What gives? Did Forgejo hurt you? The Forgejo disclosure process looked pretty simple and straightforward to me. The bold and all-caps words that bothered the author are just making sure you kno

This “slowly dying” effect is what happens to every company that gets acquired by big monster slug companies like Microsoft. What Microsoft acquisitions still have any of their original spark left in them? Or Oracle? Or IBM? Or Google? Etc…

Notice how the graphs have no Y axis. That's how you know it's manipulative. This company is owned by one of the major causes of the AI boom and is hiding behind difficulty scaling, despite its parent company also being a premier

Yes! Thank you. People just assume because Netherlands = Europe that it’s all old world walkability. In a lot of ways the cycling in the Netherlands is almost a band-aid in itself…but it’s a hell of a lot better than depending on the automo

But the studies say that Google blowing $100B on self driving cars changes human behavior to take less transit which then costs taxpayers money because transit ridership and revenues decrease. This idea that companies have to be allowed to

I still think it’s worth observing the Netherlands as an example because they also had mid-century car-oriented development that they successfully retrofitted. And of course, also, this doesn’t mean “nobody owns a car in the Netherlands.”

I’m not talking about cars magically disappear from the road, I’m specifically talking about taxis and rideshares versus using another way to get around, which even includes personal car ownership. Studies have shown repeatedly that ridesha

We actually don’t have to work with what exists. We actively chose and continue to choose what exists. Every day new land is developed that perpetuates these choices. Every day we decide to keep things the same or implement change. Here’s a

This whole thread is so embarrassing for GitHub. The idea that you would change your product design in this way as a quick fix to solve a performance problem is insane. This would be like if the battery life on a MacBook Pro was too short s

Studies have proven over and over that rideshare/taxi is bad for traffic, reduces transit utilization, and doesn't reduce personal car ownership. Example: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41893-020-00678-z#Sec

Not usually, and not in the same way. They are usually parked in a parking spot or garage. Taxis and Waymos stop in areas that are explicitly marked not to stop or park.

It's not "human driver versus waymo driver," it's "car versus no car" or "10 cars versus 2 cars" or "fast cars versus slow cars."

Which, again, is a band-aid to bad regional transit connectivity.

Waymo and other taxi services are inherently bad for cyclists compared to increasing transit utilization and providing more ways to walk and cycle that feel and are safe. They’re even bad for drivers as they are more detrimental to traffic

2-in-1 laptops represent 1/3 of the entire laptop market and represent almost double the revenue of all Macs sold worldwide. I think it is quite clear that touchscreen laptops are a desired product. Apple would just rather you buy both

It seems like macOS updates have a lot more to do with underlying hardware and specs than year of release alone. Going back to the iPhone 5C example, that phone lost updates much earlier than the 5S released the same year because it didn’t

The truth is that the moment Apple offers a touch screen on macOS, the Mac cult faithful will hail the day as a breakthrough in innovation. I suggest that you watch people in cafes, offices, and libraries (especially young people) use Windo
