A company at a certain point moves from “make it work” to “don’t break it”. Both have good reasons to be honest but “don’t break it” has far more restrictions.

I hate sparklers so much. Watchings kids wave those things about makes me feel so sick.

When I was in North Carolina on a trip the chap I was visiting said I'd know if I was crossing over to South Carolina when I saw all the fireworks shops as it was illegal to sell t…

It’s starting to feel like people need to say what language/stack and problem space they’re working in. It would be interesting to see why we’re seeing such wild variance.

There are some funny videos of people in pubs in the UK discussing how bad the incoming drink drive rules were, it's a similar deal I think. No one likes being restricted from some…

I told my friend that in my mind I add five minutes every time she does it, but 30 seconds is probably more fair. Perhaps not being able to use them for the first few minutes, but …

We have a little group chat going where we compete each day to be the fastest to complete these. We could do with some sort of time penalty for reveals or something because right n…

I know some people have ideological things going on that make them choose different networks, but they have more than half a billion active users so it's not exactly a ghost town.

Composer 2 is great tbh. It makes my over runs of the ultra plan much less painful.

Another swing and a miss from the AI police.

All these commenters just yell AI about every post and comment on here now. They have a worse hit rate than a blind marksman.

It’s interesting to see twists on the old anti-piracy arguments recycled for anti-ai.

That's not a thread you want to pull on, it applied to the majority of the comments on the internet.

I think for a lot of us mac users we never get contact with another OS so it can seem like the world is ending. Reality is the Tahoe is terrible compared to older versions, but sti…

Yeah this is my actual issue with Tahoe. It blows my mind people keep bringing up the corners when WindowServer is complete trash now.

I feel like comprehension is lacking here. 1. The original comment was about Apple using their power to influence UK law. 2. That is bad, don't do that Apple. 3. If they want to do…

They can do whatever they want on their devices that is permissible in whatever jurisdiction they're selling into, but they don't get to choose to follow our laws. If we want those…

I think this law is the wrong way about doing what they're trying to do, but I also don't want US corps deciding what is and isn't permissible in our country.

Indeed. For many of us it's a feature, not a bug.

Spot on take. The people I’ve noticed that say things like “it’s not useful” are the ones who are doing so little they can’t see the value. This isn’t to say there’s not hype. Just…

Two?

Do dogs like champagne?

From my growing tedious experience communicating online, most of you lot detect 14/10 of the LLM-isms you think you find.

This take is extremely arrogant. You can make the argument that shuffling the deck like this will lead to unexpected outcomes but claiming one way or the other to know the outcome …
