Ha ha ha. You can leave it overnight and importing files is a 1 time process so not much to win

Importing a couple thousand RAW pictures into a Capture One library would take 2 h on my 2017 iMac.

5 min on my m3 mbp pro.

Geekbench score differences were quite remarkable.

I am still wondering if I should return it, though

I wish every OS user logged in their isolated VM of the OS. This way, Adobe could install all their bloatware and take control of their user and I could keep ownership of my Apple’s computer

I find “4nn4’$ 4rch1v3 dot ORG” actually way better than pirate bay for pirating knowledge.

It’s amazing the amount of books that copyright laws prevent us from finding

Have you tried changing the web browser or VPN?

Affordable luxury for the masses? Isn’t that communism?

I have a relative like that. Now that my wife barely cares about what I have to say, I’ve realised how My mom is different. When I was a child, She would share anecdotes from her daily life, involving coworkers and stuff. And she would ask me and remember my questions.

I bet that had a sought impact on my language development.

Kids can “read” books from around 6 months of age, IMHE YMMV

They memorise them and recite them along with mom. I gather, when he gets to decipher the Latin script, it’ll be easier for him to understand the words he’s expecting to read

tracking and in-app purchases? sounds like a Rip-off

I’m looking forward to having it on iOS. EU! Eu all the Way

Preview and message are sent separately. My intuition tells me the preview is used to track user activity. I wish I could contact the author to know more about how WhatsApp tracks activity

So many urgent threats. It’s mostly checkmate

How big should the corpse pile sein?

In summer 2017, the USS Fitzgerald collided with a container ship near the Japanese mainland in an accident that killed seven sailors. The McCain was off the coast of Singapore when it hit a container ship, killing 10 of the Navy destroyer's crew.

The report blames touch screens.

IMHO, car screens are useful to watch some telly or films during your boring commuting

agony can kill or agony can sustain life

Yeah I had a few screens mid 90s but most folks had just a TV set in my European country. Some even a video games console as well

Remember, kids! Unhappy husbands are unhappier than single men. IMHO

Parentification or parent–child role reversal is the process of role reversal whereby a child or adolescent is obliged to act as a parent to their own parent or sibling.

Two distinct types of parentification have been identified technically: instrumental parentification and emotional parentification. For instance, instrumental parentification involves the child completing physical tasks for the family, such as looking after a sick relative, paying bills, or providing assistance to younger siblings that would normally be provided by a parent. On the other hand, emotional parentification occurs when a child or adolescent must take on the role of a confidante or mediator for (or between) parents or family members.

As soon as I get a tenure, hopefully, Before I retire, I want to ditch every screen and live like it’s the nineties

I did some experiments. My record is 3,1 l/100 km at around 90 km/h mostly downhill adding around 30 min to my 2 hour trip.

Not having to take over is the best part of it.

I’m installing mojave on my 2017 macOS and call it a “black pearl”

Yeah I miss Adobe Lightroom but you don’t get to install it, adobe takes over your computer

The problem is not the problem. The problem is their filming the problem

Installing any adobe app, for example, takes control of your computer installing bloated software which remains in the background at all times.

Google does similar things. Why do some apps install bloat in ~ or ~/Documents without letting me chose where ?

If you want to sand box applications you need to use VM. Because some crap permeates the whole system.

I’d like the OS to run a separare environment for each user or application with little to no access to my main installation.

There are a handful of amazing Creators, praised be

If Google needs to cut costs, ending the $20,000,000,000 annual gift to Apple would be more profitable than harassing their users

I will never forget that scene in los Soprano in which, after a car crash, a character asks another one to just kill him before having to deal with the consequences of his DWI

They seem to be unable to solve it without hiring people and paying wages, hence their call for help from volunteers

Isn’t “fully vertically integrated” an euphemism for “trust”?

I wish there were more facts in modern novels as well. Fiction’s alleged communicative purpose is to entertain the reader but I gather it’s too simplistic. Dostoyevsky’s Crime & Punishment seems to be to be an analysis on the soul. It entertains because it captivates.

For example, “Where the wild things are” has captivated both my child and I since we first read it sitting on the floor of a bookstore. It’s the kind of book I had been dreaming of writing myself.

It is an illustrated album explaining children’s psychology to children of all ages.

We can read it over and over again for the next few years.

I wish there were more illustrated albums explaining very complicated or abstract concepts using beautiful drawings and simple, rhyming verses per page.

Most educational books are too informative, they explain lots of concepts on a page. And most children’s books are puerile or too patronising.

Great. Now ban PFAS products
