It's very hard to untangle it from the rest of its context (the prompt is built dynamically, from a lot of parts, some project-specific, some specific to my preferences, some built…

I use their API for several models, both for personal and professional use. I think their approach (smaller, specialised models that are well-adapted for specific tasks) is a very …

Yeah, the Arch wiki is the Gentoo wiki we lost. I was around for it and the Gentoo wiki was amazing , it was one of the best Linux resources all-around, it was tremendously useful …

"Right" is a bit of a stretch. Manicured screenshots are a tiny subset of theming requirements. People went to great lengths to theme GTK because, for the longest time, Adwaita was…

These aren't local credentials, these are credentials from various third-party websites that made their way into stealer logs. Garbled or not, using your personal email address for…

Ah, I thought you meant what sites list the stolen credentials. The exact overlap of websites across four separate stealer logs is enough to leak an email address pretty reliably. …

They're linking to the original source of the news, which literally names "the sites".

Yeah, inputing "secure credentials" traceable directly to you with what you'd hope is a bogus password is a very bad idea, especially if you're doing highly secure work.

From the linked article: > user names and passwords for logging in to various accounts belonging to Schutt have been published at least four times since 2023 in logs from stealer m…

Oh, wow, have we come full circle -- from Apple breaking the law in a jurisdiction where they do business to, err, Cyprus, and Europe, and... Ivan the Terrible having somehow becom…

Having accidentally argued against his own point with inadequate metaphors time and time again, OP returns to namecalling!

I see we're back to Coca Cola, McDonalds and Burger King. Oh, and Meta, somehow? This is about Apple, I think you're in the wrong thread.

All the metaphors I've used are yours, Ivan. Why would they anger me? I'm not the one who came up with them :-). What you've pointed out has no bearing whatsoever on what's being d…

The root of yours is that you keep trying to make this about McDonalds, Amazon, Ebay, Costco or some other contraption instead of the App Store, which is what this is actually is a…

I am sure they will be, I'm just saying that a Western front will be extremely different from the Ukrainian front, especially in the Baltics, where #3 is particularly salient. So I…

It's not my comparison. It's yours, and just as meaningless as your previous one about McDonald's. This one's no better, either, as Costco's terms for its wholesale suppliers aren'…

No, they did the equivalent of saying to Coca-Cola if you discover a customer via the App Store then you cannot tell them they can buy Coca-Cola from outside the App Store, too, a …

Except Apple tried to exert control over that, which is exactly what they got fined for, because it's illegal.

This is: 1. Not about any monopoly (in fact the word "monopoly" does not appear in the press release at all). 2. Nothing like McDonalds, whose business model is completely differen…
