iPad’s been stuck in a rut for a decade. We're still having the same conversations about it and what it can/can't do, who it's good for. Either it suffered from a tremendous lack of vision, or it was intentionally hobbled so as not to tread on Mac's toes. I fear we're about to go through the same cycle on visionOS. Can it replace the desktop in ten years? Is it the kind of project that will survive Apple’s next CEO transition?
Quote from article: Autocrats see debates as risky to their brand, and leaders who rely on corruption, violence, and lies don’t exactly want to be questioned —least of all Trump, who has multiple indictments hanging over him.
I swore off using any closed source Oracle products after watching a large customer of mine getting this treatment years ago with the Oracle Database. At the time I was wedded to the JVM world so it became my insistence to never use anything but OpenJDK on any device. With their latest finger wagging around Red Hat's maneuvers, which I don't agree with btw, I was thinking back to those days. I wondered if they were still up to those shenanigans, assuming that they were. Yep they are. Never ever trust Oracle. To the Red Hat adjacent Linux distros that hitched their wagon to Oracle in that battle, may god have mercy on their souls. #oracle#linux#java www.theregister.com/2023/07/05…

I live in Grand Marais. While these types of awards help drive the tourism business, they make it hard to live here. With the overtourism we have now, I avoid downtown during the busy season. Town becomes a location for tourists not those who live here.
