Imagine if Microsoft banned Windows users from downloading software outside the Microsoft store.

Imagine if Microsoft required all Software developers to give them 30% of their income or be banned from Windows

They were replying to the comparison to Windows. What are you on about?

Sure, Jan.

Imagine if Microsoft banned Windows users from downloading software outside the Microsoft store.

That was comparing desktop OS to mobile OS, which is why the person to which I replied pointed out this is different than macOS.

On your second point, neither is iOS a workstation, and one could just as easily say, “The only thing you’d want to install is mobile apps.” Okay but the problem isn’t the type of apps, it is the source of those apps. So either you should be able to get application / games from multiple sources or not.

If you think those initial downvotes were due to some pedantic distinction about workstation, and not because somebody indirectly implied that Microsoft and Apple were on similar footing in this regard, fine.

That this completely true observation has twice the downvotes than upvotes highlights this community’s views on Apple.

Requires Windows to apply? Easily in the “nope” pile. Which is a privilege, I realize.

It is better than Recall along a few axes. It doesn’t send communications off device without specifically requesting it. It computes as required in isolated environments. And most importantly, the goal as far as we can tell is for information and toys, not for logging all the actions taken on your phone.

I’m not trying to be a fanboi here, but even if Apple Intelligence is bad… Recall is much much worse.

Friends don’t let friends surf unprotected.

Pretty smart really. Good shelf life, easy prep, calorie dense.

Yes. That’s just what I want. An extension sending all ads served to me to a central location, so my fingerprint can be very easily indexed and stored on a definitely never hacked, leaked, or sold database.

“1kW within 1hr” isn’t power. That’s energy.

“nice steady energy”? You mean nice steady power, right?

“The second is like hell hole, tons of energy but still only a little bit of power.” No. They are both precisely the same energy.

“So if you toasted a toast, that was a lot of power delivered quickly.” No. That is a lot of energy delivered quickly.

I typically wouldn’t be pedantic about this, except that this is precisely the point the video is making. These two unit types are often confused.

Ohh ee ohh!

I actually think their comments when it first went open source are pretty compelling. I don’t disagree with you and I’m interested to see how zedless fares, but new projects of this scale are tough to do well and quickly. I’m pretty happy with their current approach.

I prefer Gitlab CICD but there are many. Actions had a lot of potential. Then Microsoft bought GitHub and just slapped the Actions label on their CI. If you pull off the mask, it is just Azure devops.

Might check out Zed. Relatively new editor from the folks behind Atom and treesitter. Extremely fast with an excellent interface and vim mode. The second best vim mode behind Neovim.

Maybe you can cite the exact statement we’re all missing. You can’t because the trouble you’re running into is that we did read it, and it seems perhaps you did not, but you can’t try. Summary: can’t patent unmanipulated genes. Can patent manipulated genes and sequencing processes.

I get what you’re saying, but in that case the google.com interface isn’t a search engine; nor the load balancers and proxies between it and the search application backend. And then, maybe those don’t count because there is some special sauce in database procedures that are the real workhorses.

Pedantry all the way down.

DDG has been superb for me for a few years now often returning results I prefer over Google. I’m really pleased with it.

There are at least two projects trying. Ladybird is one and will make a splash next year. In addition, since the Servo project was adopted by the Linux Foundation it is again under active development.
