This has now been posted multiple times and what you said is my biggest issue with this, its super vague and its mixing up multiple issues. On the link for this post, if you click through to the actual initiative it is primarily talking abo

It’s still along those same lines. It’s lying or stretching the truth. And I do believe that for the most it comes from a good place. They are legitimately trying to reduce anxiety. When the above happened an I was trying to find a dentist

Can't read the article, but... yeah I think most people looking at this with any amount of logic realizes that. I feel like we are in a very rude awakening for a crash very soon, we have already seen multiple AI products come out and f

Honestly... yeah. As someone who 5 or 6 years ago was not going to the dentist since the very idea of it gave me anxiety after having a particularly bad and damaging dentist experience as a kid. When I would to to the dentist I would have a

Its cool tech, don't get me wrong. But maybe, before we remove any amount of comfort with another human being we look at wether all of the dental practices are actually backed by science (which there is some scruitiny over). But also g

I think that is the problem though. In a lot of people's views, outside of our tech bubble, when they think "AI" they are thinking things like. General Purpose AI, ChatGPT, or this almost magic thing that this single thing is

When I saw the headline I came here to say the exact same thing. 2ish years ago, this would just be another ML tool that Google released. Would be interesting, but it wouldn't be "we did this magic AI thing" as if ML didn&#x2

See this is why I made the comment I did, nothing that you just said is at all clear from the petition and as it is written it doesn't conform to what you are saying here. > For single player focused games, this means removing the p

Thank you! I was not aware of this example. I fully agree that the single player part of that should still be playable. (And multiplayer if its p2p but i assume it is not). I don't quite understand why this petition did not list exampl

I was asking for examples of where a game is unplayable. I know that there are games that only phone home or require an online connection to play online like Kingdom Hearts (which is particularly frustrating on my steam deck). That part of

We had a similar discussion about this before and I feel like this is an incredibly simplistic view of the situation. How many games actually only phone home and have been rendered unplayable for that reason? I am struggling to find any e

So I feel like this is a stupid question, but how do you add keywords to an existing file or folder? Like from Finder or the terminal. That is the use case I am trying to do. I won’t ever be in a situation of saving a file with a keyword. T

I did briefly look at Hazel, I think at this point it would likely be unnecessary. I already have my app which has the custom code to work with the API of my web app and set tags accordingly, at that point it would honestly be trivial to ha

I am almost positive I tried that, and I want to say no. The problem is that apparently the Pages file is just a hidden bundle. But unlike apps, Final Cut Pro, and other Mac bundles unless you go into Pages and change an advanced setting pe

I am confused, I feel like we are talking about different things. If you look at the page, the difference between the official implementation and this app is that instead of it being under "Quick Actions" in your context menu, it

I am curious what about this you consider hacky? Everything except for the last part of this is native functionality built into Mac. Automator is an app every Mac ships with and it natively has the ability to put things in your Quick Action

I have recently been looking at how I can use some Mac native tools to improve my workflow. Finally exploring tags and smart folders for example. I even built my own Mac app which sits in my menubar syncing tags on project folders with the
