Ahhh...another product I'm boycotting, and now doubly glad I'm boycotting.

We have many people in my wider team (Finance) that are AI skeptics purely because of their experience with Copilot. Like they don't know what AI is actually capable of when outside of the shackles of Copilot. Microsoft fumbled so badl

I've been boycotting Fiverr, so I'm glad I'm not caught up in this. And judging by their response to this issue, I'm glad I've been boycotting it.

nothing special - just seems like an easy way to try out Linux for someone that hasn't tried it before

It's relevant because it hooks people into an ecosystem. It builds brand loyalty when they have a good experience with the product...and the services that come with it (Music, Apple TV, iCloud, etc.). I'm not suggesting MacBook Ne

I think introducing the MacBook Neo now, at that price point, was a genius move. While they're playing the waiting game on AI, they're cementing the next generation into the Apple ecosystem and getting them to not sway towards wha

I'm waiting to see some other reviews of the Omarchy and Dell XPS combo on battery life. DHH has overhyped some things in the past - he posted a screenshot on X last week showing ~40 hours battery life remaining on the Dell. But it&#x2

True - on Mastodon there is a very vocal crowd that are against AI in general, and are identifying Linux distros that have AI generated code with the view of boycotting it.

Is that what it is! On my pre-unibody MBP I used to run my finger across the body sometimes and it had this weird wavy feeling (honestly can't describe it well). I thought it was just a quirk of the aluminium itself!

One of the downsides to using a van for these heavy duty use cases (speaking from experience) is that they're typically not equipped with powerful enough engines. So you end up straining the engine when towing heavy loads, which reduce

Was one of them BBC, who quoted one Iranian resident as saying they were ok with the US nuking Iran, and then quietly removing that bit from the quotes with no note that the article was edited?

Become? I came across a stat from John Mearsheimer recently: from 1971 to 2021, the US murdered 38 million people. The US always was a rogue state. Trump is just bad at wrapping the rogueness in a PR cloak.

This looks very promising! Thanks for the lead.

Agree that the Republicans caused the recent escalations. But I think ultimately the US was heading in that direction, and Trump is just accelerating it. I agree with you - the US having less power is a good thing, and I welcome it.

My comment wasn't isolated to just the Iran issue.
166.
by ebbi 6mo ago
Exactly. I don't think this is a purely Republican issue. It's a US Empire and its hubris issue. The only difference is that Trump has been open with things that would otherwise have been said and discussed behind closed doors.

Cautiously optimistic, given the repairability of the MacBook Neo keyboard, that this design will make it to the rest of their laptops when the refreshed designs are released (next year?).

My journey went from using membrane keyboards (not knowing there was anything else available), to finding out about mechanical keyboards after watching a game streamer and his clacky keyboard, to going out and buying one...only to find out

Thanks for the reply! I'm not too familiar with Discords forums so will do a bit of digging

Is there anything like this but more of a reddit style layout? I'm on a Facebook group and we're actively trying to get off of all Meta platforms, and wanted to see whether I could start up my own platform using an open source pla

Sauerkraut and Kimchi are like a cheat code for people on various diets where too many sauces aren't allowed. Turns a boring, bland meal into a something much more flavourful.

So the Iraq war also was not tied to Israel's foreign policy? So it was just a coincidence that Netanyahu had been advocating for these wars? It was just a coincidence that the US got involved in last years 12 day war after Israel init

As long as their leaders care more about Israel than the nation they were sworn in to serve. The response from Ted Cruz in the interview with Tucker Carlson was glaring, yet refreshing - it went from silly conspiracy to fact, overnight.

I'm mostly the same now, but leaning more towards a hybrid flow. My Fuji is set to JPEG + RAW. I will apply the sim most suited to the occasion, and only edit the RAWs when I've got a shot that I think is worthy of editing - i.e.

Are you trying to justify or minimize families being killed for no reason? I don't get your response in context of what I posted. There are truths, and pointing out someone that goes against that truth shouldn't have to worry abou

The time I used to spend watching movies is now spent on YouTube. With the high quality cameras and drones at approachable prices, it's amazing to watch individuals create videos at such high quality but also has a bit of that DIY vibe

This is so good! Have you done something with the sound as well? I swear that also sounds very 'cable-y' somehow but can't really describe it. Or maybe it's just one of those mind games induced by those CRT lines...

Something I heard from an analyst online (can't find source unfortunately) said that China has a 90 day supply for gas, whereas it's 10 days for Taiwan. Not sure this applies to all fuel types, but it may give an indication of the

I was in a similar place a few years ago. I'll just list what worked for me, so it's not assuming you don't do any of this currently. But firstly, know that things will get better over time. You need time to get through all t
