Cheese uses lots and lots of milk. There are questions of ethics (the treatment of dairy cows is often less than stellar) and carbon footprint (cheese is worse than pork, for example.) I'd really love to see some good alternatives, too

Yeah I don't get it. I had to stop reading after a couple of sentences, I just can't deal with that.

Yeah. We have a 112 app in Finland, for making emergency calls and relaying your location. Maybe it's been made at least partially unnecessary by phone network features, but anyway. It's one app I absolutely never ever use except

You can disable that (Settings → Apps → App Store → Offload Unused Apps.) It's a nice feature, but it would be even nicer if you could pin some apps to prevent their offloading even if you haven't used them in ages.

I don't think the parent was asking for server side macOS containerization, but desktop. It'd be nice to put something like Cursor in a sandbox where it really couldn't rm -rf your home directory. I'd love to do the same

It used to be it was easy to tell apart Mac and Windows users by em dash usage. Now apparently Mac users are considered LLMs.

One thing that's always brought up in these discussions, because it's worth bringing up, is the file format of the macOS image editor Acorn: https://flyingmeat.com/acorn/docs/technotes/ACTN002.html

Doesn't Elizabeth run even deeper than the current ones, though? Certainly seemed so in the elevators of the Whitechapel station. And it's not like you could replace the current lines without building the new one first and I bet t

Netflix had a similar oddity, also in Finland: if I recall correctly there's an account language setting, and you have to set it to English to see Kim's Convenience. No need for a VPN, no need to claim you're in another count

It depends on the language. Unicode defines rules for it: https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr10/

Nothing, as long as you're fine funding the exploits of a ketamine fueled edgelord who is throwing his resources behind far-right parties in multiple countries. They could just not buy those services. That is a completely viable way fo

I use Sonos with Apple Music. Sonos has always been worse than Apple's app at browsing and searching (no idea who to blame for this, not the point), but I'd still use because it freed my phone/computer from the streaming duti

I wonder how that's counted; is it ownership or access? In Finland most apartment buildings have shared spaces with a washer and a dryer where you can book time for free. Doesn't mean everyone relies on them, but many people don&#

I work in both too and will take Xcode any day of the week over AS. It has plenty of downsides but it's fast and surfaces errors well. YMMV.

Right now, viewing the AI slop slowly filling the web, it's hard to see the gain, though. It's possible things will improve, but it's just as possible that guiding the tools will take skills most people will never master, jus

GDPR is about not storing information about people without their consent and has nothing to do with the encryption legislation.

Yeah I have high hopes for the new Foundation. The current open source Foundation is OK but it doesn't quite match what's there on Apple platforms and makes it all a bit difficult. Having one shared implementation should improve t

Sandi Toksvig made the point in a QI episode that if you use IIII, you get a pleasing symmetry with the number of Vs and Xs on a clock face. Four numbers with only Is, four numbers with a V and four numbers with a X. I'd be surprised i

It's cool how it uses the same name as the technology used for porting UIKit applications to macOS, which I'm sure will make search engine usage very fun if it ever gains any traction.

I'm sure Sailfish, too, allows you to prevent the gesture if you want. On iOS if you use the standard navigation controller, you get it automatically. If you're swimming against the tide and want to do something unusual, you have

One inexact wording here I noticed: "Swiping right from the left edge of the screen does the same as pressing the Back button." If you're implementing that yourself, it's important it's not a swipe gesture, it'

UITabBar has always been painfully limited in its customizability by the programmer and the customizability by the user aspect is something that few projects care about. By locking down its appearance so tightly, Apple pretty much ensured t

At least one extremely typical problem on Netflix and basically every other streaming service is that the episode thumbnails (which I usually have to go take a look at just to find out how many episodes there are) will ruin any cliffhangers

Also, even if that 440 number was accurate, comparing fatalities occurring when random people install solar panels on their rooftops to the decade long massive construction projects that are nuclear power plants is just meaningless.

With this year's WWDC announcements, it seems more obvious than ever that Combine was a bridge technology that has served its purpose now that Swift concurrency is taking over, and those things are open source. Doesn't help with S

Not really, or it has some pretty weird ideas about preferred units in my region. When trying to get a conversion for 1 cup, it tells me it's 0.5 pints. My region is Finland, language is Finnish, and roughly no-one understands those un
