Then they tried to catalogue which knowledge had not yet been catalogued, and it all went to hell.

What a shameless load of reframing. Let’s balance that out a little. Italy is doing something immoral and significantly harmful, foreigners considered leaving rather than becoming …

Of course predictions about the future are not present reality. It’s not set in stone, but it’s supported by the times this has happened before and by trends in Apple and in tech. …

Your experience is starkly different than mine. Are you sure you aren’t thinking of Pixelmator, Pixelmator Pro’s much more toy-like predecessor from ~10 years ago? My experience is…

The other thing that’s going to go away is purchasing only what you need. I want exactly one of these apps, I bet virtually nobody uses all of them, and yet the suckers are going t…

I rejected iOS 26 for a while and boy did my opinion on whether Apple forces version changes do a 180. Everything people lambast Windows for was there. Nags with no “no” option, a …

> perceptually free Bizarre phrase. If you think mandatory bundling is free stuff then your perception is not very good.

I’d argue it’s a strength. You still have classes and custom attributes to reach for when you want an (effectively) unordered set, the difference is just that you define some bound…

Apple generally does this transparently and automatically when exporting photos. If you’re not getting that behavior then you could have it off in settings, it could be your workfl…

Apple released iOS 26.2 and macOS 26.2 a few days ago. Are they as at least as good as iOS 18.7 and macOS 15.7 yet? I’ve been holding off updating since trying iOS 26.0, but I hear…

The flight distance is 2,520 miles, Google puts road distance at 3,179 mi = 1.26x, 29,905 mi is 11.87x. Road miles are not even close to accounting for it, it’s just a bug.

FileZilla explicitly and emphatically sells a license, not a download. In fact, technically not even the initial download is included in the purchase. They’re technically within th…

Well, I wanted to revert and wanted a new phone, so bought an iPhone 16 instead of a 17, which comes with iOS 18 installed. iCloud data synced in fine, and the 17 is a very small u…

It was the primary motivating factor behind the previous major browser shift, though there were also other large factors. Remember that users often don’t correctly figure out which…

Please consider changing pass/fail to an integer score out of maybe 5. This test is becoming more and more misleading as your apparent desire to give due credit conflicts with qual…

I thought so too at first, but zoom in to where the neck joins the head. What looks like the head’s shadow from a distance is actually a hard seam between thick neck and thin neck,…

The university did not take this action directly in response to the issue, it took it in response to a call from a US senator regarding a law restricting freedom of speech. Such ca…

Sounds like a hard life. So much time spent on buggy, unintuitive, jumbled, and half-assed OS, then the only time they get away from it, they have to use Windows.

You’re right, my bad, Spigot (from Bukkit), not Fabric. I got the impression it’s actually using ~~Fabric~~ Spigot code for this because you’re using plugins compiled for Spigot an…

Paper isn’t a mod loader, it uses Fabric under the hood. Also, what makes you think it’s the most popular server? I thought it was fading. I switched my server from Paper to Fabric…

No. Almost everybody hated it out of context, but in context many understood that one man was about to obtain unprecedented power over all three branches of government and use it t…

> Imagine if you have, let's say, a text document model, and you need to create a new copy every time the user types a letter. That's not going to work fast. And there will be no g…

I think you missed the point about bundling. In this instance, the first choice is your laptop choice, and the second is your charger choice. Because the first choice is far more i…

> If you sell your old laptop when you buy a new one, you generally sell it with old charger. Sounds like a symptom of incompatibility. I’ve only ever included the charger when it …

Many people got played on the charger thing. It’s never free, it’s a mandatory bundle. But companies only put one line item on the receipt, never refer to the primary component sep…
