>Apple requires software to be "notarized" This is not exactly true and you know it. For example: >if you have enough technical know-how You right click the app and then click open…

I must have forgotten it because I can open the Epic store and play Fortnite on my Mac right now without any warnings. I actually just downloaded the installer right from epicgames…

Something tells me most hobbyists are not doing their car battery welding on-the-fly in -60F weather in the middle of Sibera with the stakes of failure being freezing to death thou…

That command makes me really glad Amphetamine exists.

>They are also doing everything they can to block people from distributing apps outside of their walled garden. People keep saying that but nothing on my Mac has ever stopped me fr…

I use it on my work computer and it's not a word I'm comfortable showing to clients. You never know who may have had (or still does have) an addiction, and I also don't want them s…

I download and use the app despite the name. I’m not okay with it, but I need the features it offers and there isn’t a better alternative with a better name. There used to be (call…

Oh jeez my worst nightmare might just be going to a Meetup without knowing how many people I should expect and ending up being the only one who showed up. If Meetup didn’t tell me …

Pre-covid I went to bars a lot to hang out. Ranging from suburban “family dining” bars to downtown dive bars to hipster breweries, I’ve been a regular at a lot in the last 10-15 ye…

My dad co-owned a small company in the early 90s and they just got new computers but he convinced the rest of the owners that they needed to invest in serial network equipment “to …

Heck I’m in my 30s and I do that sometimes. I just set up a new Mac after using an iPad Pro for a few months and the number of times I touched the screen is embarrassing.

For the most part we don’t learn about them because we don’t know a lot about them. Many of the pre-Colombian civilizations either didn’t build permanent structures or built them f…

In which case the people getting Linux running on an M1 likely aren't working for free. Either way it's not a very good criticism.

>only because of talented people working on it for free That’s basically the definition of Linux. That’s not Apple’s fault.

I am obsessed with games or toys that replicate chaos or spreading disasters, like fire spreading in Far Cry 2 or water flooding in Cities: Skylines or collapsing buildings in the …

About 15 years ago at night I crashed my car into a bunch of pallets that had fallen off a trailer driving in front of me with no lights on it. The driver kept going but the police…

But far more consistently. Most users have no idea how the Internet works, let alone hosting something as complex as email. They'd just stop using email and switch entirely to Face…

I use Outlook.com for my primary email and I’ve had a few more outages than with Gmail but nothing I would consider major. The major issue is Outlook.com’s spam filtering is drasti…

If everyone who uses Gmail hosted their own email servers those people would suffer far more and far worse outages that Google has had.

I imagine in this situation the tribes would eventually develop their own currency as they rebuilt and became more complex. The video game Fallout, for example, uses bottle caps as…

>Why is there such an obsession on this? Because viewing/storing this material is illegal for everyone except the minor in question. If a minor posts a nude picture on Reddit and I…

It's the "servers are pets, not cattle" but applied to local machines. That's sort of how IT has been run for a while now, but only half-hearted and in the worst way possible. Almo…

That helps for the cases where someone is abusing a child and the police were involved. Does it help when a 15/16/17 year old uploads their own pictures/videos without anyone knowi…

That's pretty much the MO of a lot of SV companies. I remember when Uber came to my city and there were news articles about police officers ordering a ride and ticketing the driver…

The year is 3000 AD. Civilization has collapsed, governments are non-existent, and the remaining human tribes need some sort of currency to facilitate trade. I need a goat for my f…
