Can you post the Discord link? I didn't know that was a thing... Is it an official Reddit Discord or something just for the current situation?

Thank goodness. I was really worried with all the code I was able to fit on my screen at one time. This will reduce my cognitive load by seeing less code and taking frequent scrolling breaks. Hopefully soon we can get rid of all of those co

That's the trap Firefox fell into, I think. Relying so much on telemetry that only tells a very small part of the story. So they cut features that are useful, but people didn't even know they existed. It seems like this data-drive

An unattractive decision is still a decision you can make. If you believe so strongly that you shouldn't sideload applications, you absolutely have the choice to not do it. It may not be a choice that you like, but it is a choice ava

You, and the old people in your life, can simply stick to downloading from the official store. This change doesn't suddenly force you to live your life in a way that you're uncomfortable with. If applications suddenly drop out of

The thing is, what applies to you doesn't necessary apply to everybody. Somebody has to understand low level coding. Somebody has to be introduced to it without necessarily knowing going in that it will be a career path. Somebody wil

I turned 5G off on my phone and my data speed literally doubled. So I'm getting better battery life, better signal, better speed, and a bonus of less congestion (I assume, I'm not a networkologist) on the LTE network because of al

And I, for one, am glad that society as a whole doesn't behave this way. Imagine how obnoxious it would be if every other social interaction was somebody messing with you. Wonderful.

Agreed. I found this whole story made him sound very unlikable. Like he considers everybody to be below him to the point of being playthings. Kind of gross.

There's a pretty simple solution: Don't install applications from a third-party store. This change doesn't mean the Apple store is going away. It's reasonable to assume that you'll be able to continue using your dev

Barely relevant anecdotes: My mom daily drives my old 2012 retina Macbook Pro. Neither of us have ever had any problems with it. So it's possible for macs to hit the 10+ year mark! I also still use my X200 tablet (not as a primary mach

I'm the complete opposite. I hate how hazy and dull "anti-reflective" displays look. I understand being opposed to reflection, but I'd much rather have a display that's as sharp as humanly possible. To me it's

I'm not sure the intent of such studies is maliciously trying to stop autonomous driving. It's important to study the consequences / potential risks of any new thing. I'd almost say that's human nature. A better und

I tried to switch but I never use it anymore. There's a weird... I don't know, almost burden to it. Pen and paper is always on, always available. The interface is completely blank and unassuming. You have a page, you have a writin

I find it odd that we were always encouraged to take notes, but never once taught how to do it. Most people tried to furiously write what was being said verbatim, which is definitely not ideal. A simple introduction to note taking would hav

Apple still publishes a manual for macOS: https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/welcome/mac There's also the 'Help' menu in Finder that has the manual, tips, and menu search functionality.

Have you tried Kitty? It blows iTerm2 and Terminal.app out of the water in performance. It's also feature rich, if you have wild terminal feature needs. I'm mostly in it for the speed, though.

Is there a higher point? It seems to be a joke about the prevalence of one particular website style. Sometimes the chicken just needed to get to the other side.

I prefer macOS over Windows, but I think a lot of your points are... outdated, or just outright myths to begin with. I can't find any (non-anecdotal) evidence that a "bloated" registry impacts performance at all on a modern s

It seems like if you discount third-party applications, you should also discount the addition of peripherals like additional monitors, as they're not the stock experience either. This seems to come up with every argument about operatin

I find Security Now to be oddly soothing and informative.

Hmm. I actually had the opposite experience. I've been using Gentoo for decades now and haven't found it to be problematic at all. What did you find annoying about it long-term? I tried Arch and found the divide between distributi

This is oddly sad to me. It's like hearing somebody say that you don't need to read a book when you can just watch the movie adaptation. You're missing out on so much depth and growth potential by just settling for the easies

People are nuts. I ran a small, simple MUD (a text-based MORPG). Nothing fancy, nothing overly popular, a nice little niche group of people. Seemingly. I ran it anonymously, but there will always be somebody you know who slips something abo

My experience with CLion was that it was agonizingly slow to do anything. It stuttered scrolling through even a small C project. I don't know exactly what it was doing in the background, but it constantly had fans running. Long after i

Hard to tell if you're joking or not, but if you aren't and weren't already aware, there's an accessibility option in Preferences -> Accessibility -> Display to reduce motion in animations. Might be helpful!

I made the mistake of opening Maps on Monterey a couple versions back. Instant kernel panic. (For fun, just tested in 12.4 and it works again!) Most of my problems these days are with their bluetooth drivers, though. Anything with a bluetoo
