- teekertThis is what the GDPR requires.
- It can certainly be. But I try to just focus on alternatives.
But it really pisses me off when I spend money on something, and then after that it enshitifies (ie Philips/Signify Hue).
Ah well, being annoyed by and pissed off at iOS just makes me spend less time on the thing, so that's good.
- So it really is normal, wherever you go. We're not even surprised about it, let alone outraged.
We've lost.
- OMG, this requires it's own submission here on HN, I suggest you do it, this egregious. How low has Apple sunk. This is "the luxury brand" people.
- A clear blue ad label!! Is this sarcasm? Your remark is so dystopian, you full accepted this as normal.
Btw, I'm checking now, the label "ad" is not there, it's just highlighted. Or is it that blue tag? I thought that signified in-app ads? Shouldn't the highlight itself have a label? Probably this is some A/B test optimized BS, that tag was the option where most people WRONGLY clicked on the stuff they didn't search for.
When I came from Android I first couldn't figure out why app store search was so bad. Dumb me, expecting the highlighted option to be something most relevant to ME and MY search, no it's most relevant to some paying company and can even be a scam. And you and me can reason through this, but my kids get this BS as well, the grow up with this as normal.
You search for something, you don't get what you search for. This is our normal.
Absolute disappointment on day 1 with iOS.
My next phone will be something like FairPhone with e/OS or Sailfish. Or I'll wait for that Graphene hardware partner stuff to finally be revealed. I'm so sick of this bs. You pay a lot of money for something and they slap you with ads. Same on smart TVs, my Philips Hue system (hundreds, maybe thousands of euros I spend on that), ads ads ads.
- Yeah it's so cheap! The whole app store feel like that: I go there to install an app I know and need, and am immediately slapped in the face with anime girl dating games. WTF. I feel ashamed if people would see my screen like that.
Absolute garbage experience, and I came from Android expecting to "the luxury platform", I paid 2x what I usually do for a Phone. What a disappointment in step 1.
- Hmm, I'm a molecular biologist, not an expert at this particularly, what I do know is that damage of muscle fiber may not be necessarily mean new cell growth and thus extra DNA replication. The growth of the muscle cell certainly does.
Exercise is good for the immune system, this helps clear cancer, helps stay away from inflammation (ie auto-immune diseases). Where as a sedentary life style a poor diet will promote this.
But indeed for some things/behaviors, the relation the cancer may be complex.
- When I switched to iOS from Android it took me a while to realize why App Store search was so bad compared to the Play store (and f-droid, at least back then). It was because the first option was never wat you wanted. The highlighted app at the top was always an ad, never relevant.
I immediately lost some respect for Apple “so this is the expensive luxury platform people talk about?”
I hate that “we” focus on the second derivative to determine value (not just growth but speed of growth). It’s just for the shareholders, meanwhile us customers are looking at a company that is rich beyond believe thinking: “Seriously??”
- Of course, the Dropbox post has a meme-level example of an HNer predicting its popularity :) [0]
That said, it also often happen that you share something and it is not picked up, even though after 10 years I think I can predict what HN loves. Sometimes a repost after 2 days will hit the front page, certainly not always.
- It starts with mutations (sometimes accelerated by mutagens (smoke, alcohol, etc) or inflammation (viruses, infections, etc) or just chance (things like asbestos up the division rate by constant physical damage and thus up the probability or an error in copying).
But there is much more to it. This is a nice paper for an overview: Hallmarks of Cancer (tng) [0]. It (among others) adds the very important and for years underestimated role of the immune system to the original 2000 paper.
- If people can watch the watchers, everybody can watch everybody. So: No. Some animals are equal, but some have to be more equal than others. Otherwise we can't have the most equal system. It's double-plus-good that way.
Now install the app, slave.
- Yeah me too. Lately LI is like:
CMSs are done!
Let that sink in!
Some dude trew away his CMS and vibe coded some markdown based static stuff that does the same.
No harddrive was wiped this particular time.
The world is different now, reply in comments if you agree. Reply “airhead” for my 3 slides which are even more insightful than this post.
- I don't think this is true. I'm quite the socialist, especially from a US perspective but find Chris to be an intellectually honest person. Linux Unplugged always provides a balanced overview of any (Linux related) situation or tech, they go as far as waiting for all the drama to die down before even presenting a subject, avoiding overly emotional responses. For example with NixOS, they have consistently focussed on the tech strengths (even though it may be tempting to not do that.) Same is true for bcachefs, as this podcast proves, no drama, just facts with the occasional opinion thrown in. Respectful, Calm, Joyful, Funny, I'm a big fan.
- At least not when some rando stops you on the street.
- Reminds me a bit of the game Retaliator, when I was 12 a class mate earned himself a night of "pick your own time to go to bed at camp" because he could show the teacher how to land. [0, the landing is at the very end]. I think at the time nobody knew what key to hit to deploy the landing gear (and flaps, though I think you could land without flaps). And since it was all copied stuff there was no book, no internet...
- Same here. Battery is a bit bad though. But I carry a battery pack. I do notice the charging port is also getting worse recently. I don't know what I'll buy after this...
- I never understood big laptops (at least for work, where you walk around with them), there's always a screen to plug into.
At home, ok, at the kitchen table it can be handy to have some more real-estate, but again just for "light work" and entertainment I'd say.
- I use wood only for my non-stick pans. Metal for the metal pans. I sometime put some olive oil on the utensils, but generally, I just use them, put them in the dishwasher, repeat, until they break. They are ~50 cents at Ikea. And so I don't eat any plastics anymore.
Of course, the article is about high end stuff, but I just want to put everything in the dishwasher. Which I presume you can't do with even the best coated high end utensils?
We also switched to wooden Cutting boards, I find them to be pretty annoying as they really go bad fast in the dishwasher and can be quite expensive. We just wash them with boiling water, a bit of soap every now and then.
- Yeah, that is my guess, there must have been bug, issues where GPS suddenly teleports you. One way to remedy that is to give the roads virtual walls so what ever GPS weirdness comes in, the location service will at least put the car close to its "previous" location for some time.
