This is just an unnecessarily venomous take. It’s not a clone of anything, it’s a genre idea that was floating around at the time and his is the version that took off. Sure it wasn’t divine inspiration in a vacuum, but nothing ever is. Pred

“So you’re pro assault when somebody’s broken into your home at night, but suddenly anti assault when I want to punch your grandma?” Exaggerated but the same idea. Though people often communicate and maybe even internalize it in simplified

Before the rest of these abuses, Honey was blatantly tracking users and selling that data, which I think is a good example of how privacy abuse is often a canary of generally immoral behavior.

People aren’t responding to their own assumption that AGI is necessary, they’re responding to OpenAI and the chorus constantly and loudly singing hymns to AGI.

I’d love to see these comments about Safari lagging give specific examples. Every time I’ve seen specifics, it’s either only interesting to progressive web apps, or blatantly user hostile tracking/nagging “features”. In my personal exp

Man, I don’t think this will be good for users. The biggest shortcoming of Pixelmator is its lack of Windows support. This rules out use in most of the professional world, not because one must run Windows, but because one must collaborate

The first boot after a macOS system update has long been bugged out. It launches a bunch of apps you didn’t even have open before updating, seems to be the 5-10 most recent apps you quit. Yes they were fully quit, yes I have the “resume” se

Ok, how would you use Playwright and Nut.js to discover the OP’s “splinter”? Note I’m specifically asking about discovery, not testing for it once you already know what to look for.

I’m not sure I read this right, but I think this feature is headed for the $10/mo plan, and currently exclusive to the $25/mo plan only as part of that plan’s early access to new features.

Hire patsies. Motivate them by telling them they’re entrepreneurs. Every time somebody notices, act really shocked and offended, smack your patsy around (just the one they know about), coddle the customer (just the one who noticed). Bribe p

I’ve previously noticed that Claude is far less apologetic and more assertive when refusing requests compared to other AIs. I think the answer is as simple as being ok with just making it more that way, not completely that way. The section

Doubt that’s it, they would make more disclosing the affiliate links as a way to donate or requesting donations directly. I’d guess it’s just normal for them, or maybe inserted automatically, or maybe somebody was amused by it.

The difference is whether it can be fixed. An expired domain is hard because we don’t actually know the attacker isn’t legitimate until they misuse the domain. In the case of hosting hijacking, though, the domain still has a legitimate owne
