Oh look at that, there's a new update for Sequoia in settings! It did take me a week to notice because the assholes keep spamming me about 26 or 27, but it's there. > The new macOS'es always seem to add more restrictions,

Tell a lie enough times... I personally see fewer and fewer of those original dialogs that had you deny 20-30 items one by one. Most of the pages I land on have the deny all button or have given up on pretending they care.

> create the most possible "unwanted collateral damage" Other examples of this bullshit being cookie consent dialogs and Apple acting like a victim for being forced to open their platform a bit.

If you pressure employees to use MOAR AI you'll get ... more AI.

You're brave. I'm still on Sequoia.

Just as a note, from what I see the problem is not only the privacy implications but also that the local AI comes with a baggage amounting to 10% of the space on the base mac models. Which is already severely limited.

Judges are only elected in a few countries in the world, and that does not include Spain.

I don't think that will play well with binary files. Even as small as a PDF of a few pages?

In this case a judge who clearly does not use the internet for anything has ruled.

It's been on HN a couple times. They block cloudflare during matches because most "pirate" live streams are on there. That means you can't do any work that depends on a legit site that uses cloudflare. Or watch non footb

Is there any authority in any country in the world that can be trusted to censor just what it's supposed to censor? Doubt it. Besides malice there's also incompetence. See the article that's also on the front page right now a

Apparently all of south western europe blocks half the internet in the name of football. Besides Spain there's also Italy, France, Portugal and surprisingly the UK somewhat.

You actually believe they ran that string of articles on their own initiative?

Indistinguishable because ad blocking still works at the visible end of the spectrum. Under the hood, what the MV2 uBlock can do and Lite can't is at the least stripping tracking parameters from links and block 3rd party trackers that

Pretty sure wasm works on Safari since I've ran my own code like that...

I've never seen 6 in a row before. And that's not counting the "feature list" articles.

Then you can choose where you park :) I park on the only free space, usually. There are some evil trees that will make your car sticky after rain if you have to park under them, for example.

I noticed a whiff of panic at the iphone 18 launch. Opened macrumors and there like 6 articles in a row about preordering the phone, how soon you can get the phone when you preorder, how long the queues are etc. Guess they didn't get t

Yes, but that's a solution for the stuff you consciously save. While this is a solution for stuff you see but decide it was interesting weeks after you closed that tab and you only have a vague memory of what it was about.

Bet you have a home lab. Not talking about you. After all passkeys are not there to protect people who have home labs and don't recycle passwords anyway? They're for normal people who only have one device. > who are happy doing

Oh I'm sure OpenAI or Anthropic will vibe disprove Turing any day now!

That's an old "AI" joke. It went like that: They asked a computer how to minimize production expenses at a factory. The computer said: "Do not manufacture anything, expenses will be zero". I believe it's been a

If you're distrustful of anything, why do you trust the number of git stars? It's something easily botted after all.

Do you? If you disable all notifications you have to make a conscious effort to open a time sink. In time you'll start to forget, esp if you get busy with something. And HN is arguably better than doomscrolling TikTok or Facebook, even

"Optional global or personal access token used to authenticate extension requests." Looks like you can even set authentication up so you can run it at home but connect while you're away too...
