It does matter. Drawing a stick figure and having a machine print over it with a realistic image doesn't make you an artist, and no, you shouldn't be proud of it.

> sense of pride and accomplishment

What? Pride of what? What accomplishment?

This is really what they need to get back to. Let macOS be themeable again.

It's shocking how bad Mail.app search is today. It basically doesn't work.

The future of the US depends on these people being held accountable by the next administration, and structural reforms to make their abuses harder to do again in the future.

Windows are resizable. Built-in width selection!

> The American people (myself included) are done working half the year to earn money to pay taxes to make the world function and get none of the benefits, while the rest of the world puts their taxes towards benefits for their own society (social safety nets, paying for unlimited migration, etc).

You are utterly delusional if you think Trump and the Republicans are interested in scaling down military spending in favor of social safety nets.

What does that have to do with the Trump admin?

I'm with you. It's fine if your opinion is "software = tool" and you personally want it to be utilitarian and basic, but plenty of us desire our software interfaces to have personality and customization. The answer is that we should have the option to choose.

Incredible. LittleSnitch is must-have for macOS and trying to get equivalent functionality on Linux was painful. So very happy to see this, and very happy to give the developers at Objective Development my money.

38% approval, roughly the same percentage of people who will support anything Trump does.

Literally the only thing that will get me to upgrade. My M1 MacBook Pro is a beast and I've felt no need to replace it.

I think it's worth giving people a tiny bit of grace on this. I've surprised people by explaining that the "Department of War" is just fascist fanfic and that the legal name has not changed.

It's a testament to the broken information ecosystem we're in that many people genuinely don't know this. Most will correct themselves when told. I agree with you that those who don't are not worth engaging.

It's also just an utterly meaningless statement. Filler words with no value whatsoever.

I think about this so often. Google Street View and YouTube are full of irreplaceable information. At least it's not Meta, but apart from them it could hardly be in less reliable hands.

Both browsers offer import/export functionality for all of those things. Spend one week trying Firefox and if you don't like it, switch back. The inconvenience here is so small it might as well not exist.

It strips query params used for tracking. Has it never bothered you when you click share on Instagram or YouTube and it inserts a unique-to-you "share ID" in the URL? I was burned by this once, now every time I copy a share URL from a social media platform I first paste it into my text editor and remove all of the privacy invasive tracking cruft.

As an aside I think it's only matter of time before this is done without query params and instead each share link is generated just for you.

YouTube is social media first, even if it also happens to be a repository of useful content. Social media does not want you to navigate with agency. They want to choose what you see because it lets them keep you on the platform longer, which is the entire goal.

My understanding of the landscape currently is that KDE Plasma is the only major DE that supports HDR. I use it for Steam for that reason.

What is "seo.ai" and how do they determine the numbers they publish? I looked and didn't find any methodology or real data, just a bunch of fluff words.

There are two camps who have largely made up their minds just talking past each other, instinctively upvoting/downvoting their camp, etc. These threads are nearly useless, maybe a few people on the fringes change their minds but mostly it's just the same tired arguments back and forth.

There's a button at the top of the page to disable it.

> around 50% taxes between state, local.

Truly? I believe he lives in Washington State. It's really HALF of his income?

> Everything should be Tailwind because all code is written by LLMs these days.

Sarcasm? Bait? Woefully misinformed?

Not all code is written by LLM these days.

In most simple cases you probably don't want to be handling request-response initiated DOM updates in a Stimulus controller. Turbo Frames and Turbo Streams are the more htmx-like in functionality and they're excellent for this.

> Amar Subramanya, Microsoft’s corporate vice president of AI, will be Apple’s new vice president of AI.

That doesn't bode well. The last thing I want from macOS is Windows-like overbearing insistence on AI everything.

As always, the answer is that we need to found our own companies and stop letting the vampires suck our blood.

The world we live in now is one where fake internet points can be redeemed for political and social capital. The worst people we know figured this out before the sane ones and that's why we're in this mess we're in.

Who's developing for Windows? Microsoft themselves are turning things that would naturally have been native into web views instead.
