That's great for you, but go tell that to someone who's lost all hope. If there's no hope then there's little incentive to work hard.

Just to add to this, we live in a town of ~50k people about 2 hours out of Toronto, and house prices are up 20% yearly since before COVID. 2-3 bedroom houses, are brushing up against $1million this year. Not as bad as other parts of Canada

He explicitly talks about his failures at the end. I don't think a narcissist would get that far. Although you did say you're projecting, so maybe this is not useful.

This reminds me, my friend and I were the only people we knew who'd even used the internet in the late 90s so no one was around to correct us, and 3 of the apparently incorrect pronounciations we had agreed on were: - war-ehz - gee-aw-

The Apple Music app was effectively an Electron app for a few years before the Catalyst version arrived, just a shell around webviews. And even now, there's still a bunch of webviews in the app today. Mac Messages was comically just a

Was this common in the US? I spent a bunch of time on the phone in the late 90s at several of my family members houses (I was a social kid) and any time someone hung up I'm pretty sure I'd hear the busy signal if I left the phone

I think it is exactly sideloading that is the key issue. Because Apple still pretends it's a tiny company, it has little obsessions that it pursues, it will ship a feature, and then leave it to rot with few to no improvements for years

That's the correct model. I haven't tested for color accuracy or HDR. No Linux. Does not get "blurry" while I'm gaming. My only recent comparisons are my new 16" M1 MBP and my 1440p Dell U2719 monitor (provided
