- The Netherlands stares uncomfortably in the background.
- Can you save anything?
- Merry Christmas to you all
- I use Wipr for Safari- works great.
- The disruption was the point — it was all distraction while Trump worked on setting up his second term.
- Is Bellard the “Chuck Norris” of Programming?
- Control over oil and gas keeps monetary values high.
Green energy is much harder to control because you can’t force the market into artificial scarcity and re-inflate the value of gas to drive the economy back up (and keep rich people rich).
- Well, seeing as these things will become our AI overlords someday — I find hedging my bets with thank you and please helpful.
- We’re missing the biggest filter of all: Time.
Life may have existed elsewhere but it can be incredibly difficult to get started, let alone having higher intelligence coexist in the same vicinity of space at the same time!
Tack on that it appears space is expanding faster than the speed of light…
- The carrot to get you close enough to beat with the stick.
- No subscription. It’s pay as you go. You top up $X and you get X months. That’s it. If your month expires, it expires. Just top off and you’re good to go.
- So Valve started out rich and now is getting poorer with each passing year?!
- This is kind of dystopian if you think about it — they’re collecting all kinds of data from their workers. They probably can clock you in and out of your bathroom breaks automagically at some point soon.

Ok, who wants to tell them?
- Isn’t that called a TUI?
- Also, should be obvious but the consistent and growing revenue stream is hardly going towards the browser. Most of it is going back to the employees (namely the CEO, etc).
- I love lightweight desktops, like this one. I just wish we could have a lightweight browser. Seems like you spin up a chrome browser and all that saving goes out the window
- It’s just a modern-day MLM scam.
- tl;dr: don’t connect it to a network, and/or use a computer monitor.
I, more or less, came to a similar conclusion— but took a different approach. I ended up just going more all-in with Apple. Time will tell if that was a mistake.
The rationale is, if you look at Microsoft; or Google; they’re all doing the same thing. If you are using mostly Google products - the same problem with bundling happens.
My thought was, if I was going to trust a vendor at all — I could do worse than Apple. I used to love tinkering all day long and still do. I tinker with different things now, and can’t be arsed to self-host everything.

Let’s be real. I don’t do anything shady and I use my account mostly like a normal person would. I keep the shadier bits to my other non-Apple devices.

Well, there you go— the impetus behind the move.
