But all the other delis are doing it as well. So is your supermarket. So is your farmer (somehow they figured out how to add salt to the veggies they sell at the farmer's market!)... Whaddya gonna do? Grow your own? THE SEEDS SHALL HAVE SALT TOO, has been decreed...

No, the boss is asking for more salt. Employees are then replacing sugar with salt and getting bonuses, no matter what the customer reactions are.

they probably have a half-assed plan to push some sort of checkout action copilot button instead of dependable scripts/actions.

Which bring their own issues. The compromises may or may not be worth it.

Don’t worry. These immutable distros break in completely new and unexpected ways, especially since a lot of programs don’t quite gel with it or with the flatpak stuff (e.g. mdns still not really supported)

Use AI as power source to power the industry!!! Let them live in a virtual world

He understands how to hype and increase the value of his shares. Everything else is insignificant

I think the only perk I ever got from paying for Orion+ in the past was a special badge on my profile on their support forum...

This news seems to be about the macOS version of Orion reaching 1.0...

Good on them then! But it's still poopooing on the users.

So? People sharing their experiences is good. Not everything is a scientific study.

I don’t know if intentional but I enjoyed the pun about the iPhone Air, here.

Ok but

> not wanting to upgrade hardware to get a minor OS change.

Bit of contradiction both in the immediate “need a whole new machine“ and the well known deprecation of 7 year old Macs wrt new OS releases.

I’m sure it’s still better than Windows though (haven’t used Windows for 2 decades except for occasional short lived business mandates)

Picking nits. It's a distinction without meaning compared to the original statement and response (buying from carriers vs buying directly from Apple)

You have files and editors for your files, eg emacs or vim or vscode.

Your editor is also directly connected to your running application and can compile individual functions or pieces of code to update the application without a full edit/compile/run/test loop. It happens way faster and more interactively while you code. You can directly inspect the running program and its data within that same framework and with the exact same tools and functions you use to code.

To answer another way, you don’t code your application in a REPL, like by line , but with all the tools you’d expect (editor or ide, git, etc) PLUS that live connection to your software.

It’s a losing battle when even the tools (web browsers hiding URLs by default, heck even Firefox on iOS does it now!) and companies (making posters with nothing more than QR codes or search terms) are what they’re up against….

“Arbitrary” is the word people often should reach for instead of “random”.

I do trade in with Apple, or resell it.

I pay full price, and use cheap MVNOs for phone service. Ends up being much cheaper and no mobile carrier shenanigans polluting my phones, sim lock, etc.

No, that browser does not support extensions.

Sorry, not available where I live and not the bank I can use for what I need. I won't give personal details but my options were limited for multiple reasons.

Sometimes it’s more complicated than that. And the other banks aren’t any less “stupid”.

> That's because they're stupid or doing something suspicious, probably both

Small comfort for whoever needs to use that bank. This is the disconnect geeks and Free Software needs to bridge to make any headway.

It means “please we need some of that sweet AI VC money”

The problem is the protection against malware is rolled in with protection against the end user. This leads down a dark path and it seems we collectively have decided end users are less important than the corporate profits and protection against malware.

The phones haven’t been sold for years, either, so not much we can expect. There’s no small phone revival or phenomenon from Japan

Is not sold anymore, was a 2020 phone lineup.
