I know why saying those words makes you feel good in the moment, but read them back to yourself and imagine how they sound to someone who's not coming from that same place as you.

Not being able to run arbitrary code that Apple hasn't given me permission to run doesn't meet my standard of powerful. I won't trade my freedom for a little extra security.

You can hurt your thumb with a rubber mallet. Maybe the better metaphor would be kids' safety scissors which I guess represents the iPhone, but I'd still rather go with the Android (regular scissors) because I'm an adult and

Then you'd be rewarding the company that pioneered and normalized taking away these rights. The next rights you'll lose will probably originate on Apple again years before Google takes them away too.

Radio wasn't a substitution for buying albums, streaming is. Arrogant wrongness is the worst kind.

Last night I was on a SaaS pricing page that said that some of the info on the page was generated by AI and might be inaccurate. On a static sales page? Who'd do business with an entity that can't be bothered to write its own pric

The comment makes so little sense that it could only be intended as a dumb gotcha from someone who thinks they're fighting in some sort of culture war about the Twitter succession. Ignoring is better than encouraging.

The abacus skills are safely obsolete, the skills of general thinking and creativity must not become that. This couldn't be more specious. Meme thinking like this, repeating something you've heard as reflex without regard to wheth

It's not conspiracy or hypothesis that the only point of these products is ads, it's the straight up business model. When are we going to hold people accountable for being surprised by the obvious actions of these companies? It wa

"Linux subsystem" would be a subsystem of Linux, which it isn't. It makes more sense the way it is. People seem confused because their mind naturally wants to go to "Linux for Windows", but it's better if they&

The point is that it takes significant time and attention to keep up with the treadmill of constantly learning the new tool/model/framework of the month, so there's significant opportunity cost. I have continued putting 100%

It's also possible to put in enough hours of real coding to get to the point where coding really isn't that hard anymore, at least not hard enough to justify switching from those stable/solid fundamental skills to a constantl

The worst thing we could do is start to rely on Android/iOS for desktop work. As soon as it starts to become normalized that your desktop environment can forbid you from running code that isn't blessed by their app store, it'

What does hackable mean in this context, and what's the downside of any old smart TV not connected to the internet and the input left on your laptop, where you'd never see anything having to with the manufacturer's app OS?

I checked this out because it sounded cool and I was not expecting to see a landing page about AI and "Contact sales" for pricing info if you don't want your work to be data-mined. 2025, man. Sigh.

This is good news right? People complain about them having bloated it with too many features. If this keeps them from making it even more of an ridiculous AI editor rather than something that complements an editor, that would be great.

Don't be obtuse. I can tell the difference between yt-dlp with 130,000 stars on github and some AI/crypto shovelware or a Spotify unlocker downloaded from a .ru site. And the point isn't that it's impossible for me to ge

It's easy for me to judge what software is safe to use and mitigate what risk might exist. It's impossible for me to judge what food is safe to eat and being wrong could kill me. Come on. There's a reason government regulates

Those things don't meaningfully differentiate the flagship Apple versus Android phones once you strip away Apple's decayingly deserved darling status. I have zero problems with Android. (This new change aside.) Though it's fa

You'd be rewarding Apple for having originated and normalized this loss of rights. And whichever ones they go after next.

Right, I can't imagine in 2025 wanting to be more online instead of less. I know that giving up a habit is very hard, but I don't know why people would go out of their way to make it worse.

He's the one who gave HBO permission to do so, so I do consider him ultimately responsible.
