I've got no love for Tesla and even less for FSD. But a pedestrian crossing one of the widest spots on one of the largest freeway in the nation in the middle of the night…

There’s plenty of their business practices that it’s fair to critique. I share many of those critiques.

But saying ARM is out of line with the industry is such a gamer-centric take– and 10+ year old one at that.

I will concede there are some decisions of Apples that are indeed anti consumer, but I believe most others (especially hardware related) have some nuance. Take for example soldered RAM. Anti Apple zealots will claim it’s simply an anti-repairablity tactic to increase sales; Apple fanboys will claim some technical improvement that has some basis in fact. I’m of the opinion that the truth lies somewhere in between; there’s some truth to both.

I really wish the article would go into more detail just how the alleged "non-citizens" registered to vote. Even if they somehow did, which I've extremely skeptical of, registering is different than actually voting.

Gaming on macOS is most certainly not held back by the hardware. I'm not here to refute most of your opinions, other than to say dismissing Apple Silicon is a profoundly naive take on things.

That’s exactly it. Is registering as a non-citizen even a crime?

The Talarico campain should really sell bumper stickers for the embarrassed Tesla owners to atone for their purchase.

I’m willing to cut slack to those Tesla drivers who bought before it became evident Elon was a threat to democracy, but “I bought this before Elon went crazy” isn’t enough.

“Sorry for my Tesla purchase, I donated to James Talarico.”

It isn't that I object to people reluctantly using the big-tech social platforms, it's that they seemingly do so enthusiastically.

I want stand-alone spreadsheet tables. Like if I wanted a 3x6 grid that acts like a spreadsheet, without out all of the chrome of a spreadsheet program.

If not that, system wide spreadsheet functionality whenever a table is invoked.

To be clear, I’m not suggesting you pay them. I’m suggesting you either live with ads or do something about it.

The $15/month seedbox gets you anything, not just what’s on Paramount.

They why aren’t you?

You can have it standing up within 30 minutes and $15/month. Nothing to learn, it’s all web apps.

Whatbox.ca. Load plex/jellyfin, a torrent client, and sonarr. Honestly, it’s not hard.

You don’t need a VPN with a seedbox.

I’ll have to give that a go. Thanks.

There’s unfortunately very little airline staff can do to stop this.

Bullshit. The flight attendants and especially captains’ word is law on a plane. They say stop and they don’t they can and should absolutely charge them with disobeying the instructions of airline staff (something we see all the time) and blacklist them.

I unironically would rather FFmpeg be in charge of, well, anything instead of Musk.

3.5 million is the increase in value over what they paid. That means they were making well over $100,000 every year for the past three decades, and they are complaining about paying cap gains.

Fucking Boomers.

Although increasing the exemption amount to peg inflation does make sense.

Do you think physical distance is keeping the data safely within our borders?

Everyone is talking about the poor security practices, which is fair. Or they are talking about the appropriateness of such an app existing, which is also fair.

But the immediate take away should be, especially in today’s political environment, that we cannot and should not trust sensitive data that leaves our device, particularly if you are of any kind of non privileged group.

You can stop using all Google products. Now I understand their market share on the web means they’re going to continue to shape the web.

But make no mistake. There is something, however small, that you can do. De-Google.

Wouldn’t senators have access to actual experts who, unlike ChatGPT, would be correct close to 100% of the time?
