This actually exists in every field to some extent. Humans get bored and at some point, we need to make complicated answers/explications/justifications to stuff that are actually very simple. Saying, just practice, pay attention a

I think it's how it should be done. You just executed the task intuitively, without any preconceived instruction as to the "best" way to do things. Most of the time, those selling the best way to do stuff have a rigid way of

Realistically they are not irreplaceable. They provide convenience for coordination of some stuff but a company that would be able to sell smartphones at scale with an alternative OS could get there pretty fast. All the very useful apps are

Oh, now Google is joining Apple in the complaining. Because you know, they are poor little struggle businesses that really can't adapt fast enough. I find Google more useful than Apple (they provide more stuff for the price to pay, whi

That argument would have merit if the replacement wasn't apps, you can only buy in a monopoly store that own all the rights for licence management (and conveniently get deprecated at a pace decided by the company selling the hardware t

As far as I'm concerned, I lowkey want them to do that. Would open up space for an alternative. As good as Apple hardware is (well in the designe department at least) their behavior is terrible for consumers and their OSs are becoming

I think they don't realize how many users they can potentially lose. And they are very arrogant but those who will switch are often advisors for other people precisely because they are tech oriented. Since people who don't know mu

Sure. For now. My issue is that I don't see the point of overpaying for Apple hardware if I have to swap all softwares because what they ship sucks.

Yes, permissions are horrid in all systems. In my opinion they are just a failure to design proper security without completely delegating the problem to the user. The funny thing is that since people who are subject to security problems wil

The situation today is not really comparable. Between the fully locked down hardware and many OS limitations it is much worse than it has ever been. I mean now you cannot open a 3rd party software without going into settings to allow openin

I don't understand why you went with a single licence valid for all platforms. Clearly each client is a different product on each platform, even if it might have the same core functionality. I don't know what the original price wa

Exactly. And with a proper color scheme it is so much easier to "parse" a document as a human. But JSON popularity is linkend to the web and javascript so not much that can be done. Coming up with new ambiguous markups just for co

Yes because its a responsability and generally those are costly. If they don't have real upsides you don't want them. So if you can get the same software utility with none of the management responsability you are very much willing

Yeah, but that's the reality distortion field. It's true for many luxury brands where people just won't accept any criticism of the uber expensive products they bought because it makes them feel bad. I have been buying Apple

I haven't made any purchase recently so maybe that's their way to subsidize the cost of various laws put in place in the EU recently (tax and shipping). But maybe it's also because you buy from the US? It doesn't matter

Yes I know about the argument of reducing farmland, supposedly up to 40% of it is used for animal feed. I'm already very skeptical of such high figures, to me it sounds like the absurdist argument of cow water use, that include all the

I misremembered/misunderstood from an interview I watched on the subject a while ago. In any case, it's hardly a lie but an imprecision at most. It seems they have hit a bump in the rollout but it could also related to data gather

In your own sources they say +6,9% for nuclear (61GW) the three percent is for hydro, probably because they are maxed out in that matter like everyone else. The direct comparison of solar/wind nameplate capacity with nuclear is extreme
