airpoint··on Business Essentials
Apples and oranges.

Google One is a consumer product for sharing holiday pics with your family mate. The closest offer in the same target market from Apple is iCloud+, with same services for same price! Or as part of Apple One which is slightly pricier but includes a an array of additional consumer entertainment services.

Apple Business Essentials is a set of business services with guaranteed SLA’s.

airpoint··on Don’t do interviews, do discussions
> Use "We" instead of "you" because it feels more inclusive and it is. For example, ask a question as "Suppose we have this problem to solve. How would we go about doing that?"

Oh god how much I hate this! It’s misused by (some) managers so much these days, it’s infuriating. For me it has the very opposite effect than the intended inclusivity.

airpoint··on Ask HN: Who's not sucky to work for?
They didn’t say it’s offensive. They took an offence — as an individual. Insinuating that just because they’re based in a budget friendly country it doesn’t necessarily mean their output is of any less quality than that of their higher-paid counterparts (in the US presumably).

Which of course is totally not reflective of reality grounded in stats or anything. It’s just one in a thousand exception confirming the state of the tech world the OP has made a somewhat negative remark about.

This my interpretation anyway. Both persons are right in their own way.

airpoint··on Netflix fires organizer of trans employee walkout
That “heartbreaking” story he told at the end of the show was a literal parallel to “I can’t be racist, I got a black friend”.
airpoint··on UK MP speech about freedoms censored by YouTube
I mean this is the reason why Twitter won’t employ AI for racist posts detection right? It would auto-ban half the politicians on there.

Same with this guy. Another lies-spewing Tory was autodetected as talking nonsense. Colour me surprised.

airpoint··on UK MP speech about freedoms censored by YouTube
As an EEA citizen living in the UK, let me tell you that you’re missing the plot.

Whether you agree or not with the requirement of ID cards for EU nationals in the UK, doesn’t change the fact that David Davis repeatedly voted against extending one’s civil liberties, based on their nationality.

This is what the previous commenter noted, and is factually correct!

David Davis is a joke and his word is not worth more than his EU trade deal that never happened.

Thanks for saving me from the 17 mins reading time
airpoint··on Apple Maps vs. Google Maps
For cycling in London, in my experience:

CityMapper >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Apple Maps >>>>> Google Maps

airpoint··on Gap to close all 81 stores in UK and Ireland
…and they’ll be trying to get that investment back from the customer by charging £9+ for a glass of red wine, sigh
airpoint··on YouTube Shorts vs TikTok
Very good observations. On Instagram Reels if I like a video from the original user once, the IG algos will keep showing me the very same video via these aggregation/content farming accounts for good next two weeks — until I eventually select “not interested” a couple of times. The algo is basically working against itself — at that point I dislike the vid not because I dont like it, but because I’ve seen it 20x now ugh. IG doesn’t know seems to know that. Very primitive.

No such nonsense on TikTok — always new original, highly targeted and personalised content.

YouTube has no idea about any of this, just showing random shit that’s trending per country and language lol. Stone Age!

airpoint··on YouTube removed 3.9M dislikes for White House
Exactly same thoughts. Not only right-wing propaganda but straight up conspiracy nonsense. How is this getting traction on HN!

What’s absurd is comparing a recreational b2c entertainment product to a professional b2b tool.
airpoint··on Ask HN: What is your “sales stack”?
Thanks for sharing this. Audienceful looks promising, will definitely check it out.

Hubspot CRM is indeed an eyebleed :( wish there were better alternatives.

This post should’ve been a tweet instead.

Superior how exactly?

airpoint··on The Mac Pro – A Year in the Studio
I switched straight into Reader View on iPad. Typography on that site is a joke of course.
airpoint··on Quitting Twitter
If Twitter was a pub, it’d be the odd one where everyone gets pissed way too early, aggressive way too easily and at the of the day smash all the furniture for no good reason.

Never understood why would anyone want to hang out or even work there…

airpoint··on Browsers eating RAM
I much prefer 95% ads blocked and 2% CPU with Wipr vs 99% ads blocked and laggy browser on uBO
airpoint··on Browsers eating RAM
Wipr is what you’re after. “Native” adblocker for Safari. I’ve switched to it from uBlock years ago and not looked back since.

I just learned about Takeout today. The question I still have though is, how do you import those exports back into some usable state/service?
