so,
Duh, it’s run by IBM. The most brain-rotted management suite on earth. All they do is chase the cool new hotness, and unfortunately it works for them – they’re mostly selling to other brain-rotted manager types. (The end users, as usual, get hosed.)
I drive a 2019 Fiat 500e as my daily getting-around-town car. A little more than “barely even a car” but it gets about 80 miles on an overnight charge from a normal 110V outlet.
I would love a small sedan that’s got 200+ miles of range, fast charging, and isn’t made by a company run by a fascist. Nobody seems to want to make them at any price.
The entire “AI” industry feels built on the premise that you never have to get permission for things.
Net positives mean something, though. We want a 10/10 solution, but saying an achievable 6/10 is the same as no change at all is exactly what the people who oppose us want us to think. That if we can’t get rid of every car on the road, we might as well have done nothing. That’s terrible! Of course we can make things incrementally better!
We all want cars to generally go away from what should be walkable areas. Replace them with public transit and bikes and just walking. That kind of culture shift is going to take generations. Less smog and carbon dioxide being spewed into the air is a good thing. (Provided the trend towards solar and wind power continues.)
I think it’s possible to accept that, while a city without cars obviously preferable, the electrification of vehicles is still a net positive given the enormous inertia of car culture.
I’m annoyed at the state of Apple’s app ecosystem. MacOS is worse this year than it’s been in a long time and I’m not updating on Macs that I control.
But have you used a windows pc recently? It’s like banging rocks together. Somehow, they keep finding ways to make it worse every year. Or month. So yeah, I’m using a Mac because it’s the less terrible option.
(And good luck getting your IT people at work letting you put Linux on your laptop.)
We have been complaining about this shit for YEARS.
Imagine how many they hope to sell to schools. These things are gonna be in the shop for repairs all the time. Making them easy to repair is better for the consumer, but better for Apple, too.
You should try yelling “money” again, that’ll definitely convince people. Of. Well, whatever it is you’re trying to convince us of.
There is nothing as hilarious as someone trying to use fancy words but missing pretty basic concepts of the language.
You’re trying to sound smart. It’s making you sound dumber.
“I am so smart, the answer is obvious. So I won’t tell you. If you don’t get it, you’re not as smart as me.”

People have been begging for big tech companies that rely on open source software to support development. Netflix finally did the dang thing.
More, please!
I am once again begging people not to post a headline that starts with “Trump, 79,” that doesn’t end with. Well. You know.
Don’t get my hopes up!

I only block for one reason: egregious crossposting. Don’t post the same thing in four communities.
