Reading it back I agree that it seems snobbish, and I'm sorry for that. I'm tired of bending over backwards to accommodate objectively poor behaviour though. Sometimes you just have to say "this is not for you". If we go

My only guess as to why people put so much effort in trying to use platforms that are so obviously user-hostile, is the fear of missing out — not being where everyone else is. If the company you're applying for cares whether you'r

It was never a genuine concern, and just covering their backs given the social climate. It's cute that this person took it seriously.

For the people debating on the line between art and pornography: That's really not the point of the article at all. The point they're making is that large tech companies (an in particular Meta) want all the benefits of having lots

I often hear an argument along the lines "content creators should be paid for their work". I think it should be "content creators _can_ be paid for their work". "Should" implies they are automatically entitled

The CLI gives you full access to the Keychain with no authentication. Try it.

I think it's mostly an American thing, as I hear it a lot coming from there. Never heard anyone in Europe saying regular fresh fruit and vegetables is out of their budget. I've heard American tourists exclaim surprise when they vi

I'm surprised they even cost that much to produce. Is this surprise to anyone? Even the people paying retail prices have known for some decades how this works. It's no less disgusting that they put human beings through what they d

Most of Europe (i.e. the parts of Europe that I know) acknowledged that "mistakes were made", and moved on. Nobody really expected an apology from officials for the shit-show, because everybody understood that they were doing the

I really miss CRTs. They had more vivid colour, had near zero response times, and I even _liked_ the blur the scanlines caused. Not to mention the calm that the simplicity brought; turn on, watch.

Accurate, but that last sentence frames the behaviour as acceptable? I have nothing against them for reversing a previous decision, but then they should admit the mistake and make amends — some kind of compensation? They way they've ch

What none of the answers seem to touch on is the simplest case that would be a solution 99% of the time: If a previously connected to network (i.e. one we have a key for) has more bars (which I as a user can see in the UI), that is the one

If you were to give the majority of the locals where I live the choice, they would get rid of every tourist here. What we do have is councils and business owners trying to make more money, though whether they're "greedy" or n
