It's blatant regulatory capture.

There is no room for nuance. AI is capitals access to our labour. It's evil. The end.

I don't think it's a tired argument. It's the everyman trying to regain their time while being constantly reigned in harder by tech giants. You sacrifice convenience and privacy, so you kind of always feel somewhat like an asshole buying this stuff. Mostly because you have to. Many people don't move off of things because of the inherent time sacrifice and potential for future time sinks from things not working correctly and the knowledge required to troubleshoot it. If you make it easy people will switch, articles like this are the beginning of the right direction.

For example I moved off cloud services for my media in favour of fixing up a $25 BDP-CX960 400-disc bluray player with a few bucks in parts and a few weekends. When someone complains to me about modern tech, I can't in earnest recommend it though because its not easy. But I can write about it or tell them about it to expose them to the mindset more. Articles like this help IMO.

Terrence Howard already figured this out.

How about it only works when I'm smoking?

I've combined my scrolling with my smoking to get two birds stoned at once. I'm currently trying to combine working out, scrolling, and smoking, for ultimate productivity.

Of course, but presumably if you're launching something you want people to adopt it so spend some time on documentation.

That's incredible. Had do idea this existed. I'm listening to it right now and I can fully understand it as polack! I might actually want to learn this as it'll help me communicate to all my different slavic friends.

It's the principle.

I refuse to learn esperanto, sorry.

I'm a seasoned developer and I frequently come across OSS projects where I spend half an hour or more in "how the fuck do I actually use this"-land. A lot of developers need to take the mindset of writing the documentation for their non-tech grandma from the ground up.

>He's doing something right.

Yes, being rich.

I have no idea I didn't think too deeply about this comment.

Why? It's just the name of the game, everyone gets it. Especially if you're a generalist/frontend type.

Why? Doesn't have jokey copy. Any thoughts on claude-mem[0] + context-mode[1]?

People have this misconception that first it was one way, and then <tech was released>, and they'll wake up and suddenly it is another. It's a slow creep. 10 years ago there were 5 of us on a team each responsible for something specific. Now I can do all of that. Teams and companies will downsize. How do you see AI creating more jobs? (I need some hope right now lol).

I only had to wait 8 years but I can finally text my old co-worker that Laravel is in fact, shit.

Hey! No email yet. I'm not going to sell you anything btw so reach out!

I like how out of all examples to pit up against eroding privacy protections was consumer vacuum stuff from ages ago.

Emails on my profile, I'll run you through it all on a call. No I don't but I really should actually.

Just use Git worktrees and a lightweight VM environment (I like macOS native sandbox-exec) and you can spawn as many sessions as you want. I've run upwards of 30 at once on my M2 Pro with no noticeable resource impact.

I hate spending any unnecessary clicks or keyboard shortcuts on getting whats out of my head into the computer. I used yabai before primarily, now using aerospace. Since the monitor is super ultra-wide (57 inches with a very high DPI) the native resolution makes everything ultra small to my eyes. It's the same height as my 34-inch Samsung G5s which are 1440 pixels tall natively, but since this one is 2160, it would have to be 1.5 times larger physically to look decent at native res especially on macOS. The only other option is to scale the UI 1.5x which is where all the problems begin.

I like the three-column separate monitor layout because I have hotkeys, primarily driven by my mouse but also usable keyboard-only where I can easily switch between monitors with `⌘+`` which moves my cursor between them. I can select whichever monitor I want and put my mouse to it, and I can switch to any workspace on any monitor quickly. I also have hotkeys that sync three workspace numbers across monitors, so switching between them switches all AeroSpace workspaces on all three monitors simultaneously. If I have five projects going, I'd have the terminal on the left, Linear and other communication tools on the right in accordion mode with AeroSpace, and I can use my mouse or keyboard exclusively to find exactly what I'm looking for almost as fast as I think of it. I spend zero time on window management or organization now so it makes it thoughtless to use.

If I'm just using the monitor's native resolution there's no real way to do portals — having two apps open as sticky and only switching a portion of the monitor space to a different app while keeping the other sticky. There are hacks you can do with AeroSpace, especially since AeroSpace doesn't use native macOS Spaces, but the three-monitor layout is a much more robust approach in my opinion just a bit of a nightmare to setup. Theres a million little mac annoyances you have to fix.

...And then there is the near-infinite trickle down of apps that rely on apps that rely on arcane configs and so on. This is truly the OS from hell. At least with Windows you know it's going to be garbage so when anything works on any level you are maximally impressed. But I have to spend my weekends isolating window shadow disabling functionality from yabai into it's own binary because I switched to aerospace which requires 'displays have separate spaces' to off, which just so happens to be exactly what yabai requires to be on, to remove window shadows, which is the only use I have left for it.

Just like the excel world championship I would find a macos ricing/window tiling competition equally enthralling. You read articles like the OP and at some point all you can do is laugh because lord (Cook) knows you've cried.

Ah but you see, the challenge is to get a 3-split PBP on an M2 pro on a monitor with a native res of 7680x2160, each one scaled down 33%, working at 120hz with HDR, all hidpi like so:

  ┌─┐┌────┐┌─┐
  │ ││    ││ │
  └─┘└────┘└─┘

It creates some wonky math and requires plenty of dock and cable shenanigans and unlocking resolutions above 8k via BD. It's the third "monitor" where it gets tricky with the M2 pro especially at these resolutions.

I went to hell and back trying to get PIP/PBP monitors on my 57" g9 ultrawide to work with my M2 pro. ended up having to use a powered hdmi dongle, displaylink cable, and displayport, with 3 virtual monitors via betterdisplay. Allowing resolutions outside of macs limitations setting in BD is what did the trick. I don't envy OP. Having 5120x1440 @ lodpi was the worst, just ever so slightly too fuzzy but perfect UI size but eventually got a steady 10240x2880 @ 120hz with HDR. I literally laughed out loud when I read the title of the thread. Poor guy.

This literally reads like Erlich from Silicon Valley.

Is the OP flying a private jet or something? Unless he is, it's a useless metric. The people flying private are responsible for a 1000x a regular persons emissions. It's offensive to suggest regular salaried people are supposed to be "doing something" in this CO2 effort.
