Stackoverflow questions down 66% in 2023 compared to 2020. AI/LLM is what happened to the SO. What do you think?

"Lickable Menu Bar" is a free Mac app to return the menu bar to its glory days. Skeuomorphic? Yes, please!

On macOS, if using the keyboard on a dialog with Cancel and OK button, if the Cancel button is highlighted, but I press Enter, is it a macOS standard that it is the same as pressing OK? I would expecting it do Cancel when I pressed Enter and Cancel was highlighted. #macos

    This is one of the most useful and privacy-preserving features built into Firefox. This removes URL tracking when you click on the links. Right-click on the URL in the email and "Copy Link without site tracking."

    dbarros,
    @dbarros@mastodon.social avatar

    @nixCraft They should make that be what "Copy Link" does (be the default), and have the new function be called "Copy Link With Site Tracking"

    I am grieving for my friends in Argentina, which has just elected a genuine monster to its highest political office.

    I taught my kids that, when I'm at at public computer store, I always go into a browser and punch in my own company's URL (https://redsweater.com/). Today at MicroCenter my 11yo did it before I even noticed. Proud papa.

    @danielpunkass 🤣 reminds me of me when I was a boy and would go to the Commodore 64 on display in K-Mart, and proceed to type in and run:

    10 PRINT “KMART SUCKS!!!”
    20 GOTO 10

    Ah, the innocence of youth.

    @jeffjarvis could this be the reason? Or is this one of those hallucinations? https://hachyderm.io/@thomasfuchs/111428041449456655

    an accurate portrayal of the australian tech/privacy/security landscape is the optus ceo coming out and saying a 9 hour critical outage has "no indication that there is anything to do with cyber".

    @fox is the CEO the same one that survived the cyber attack hack not long ago?

    Mac revenue down, why? IMO because the M1 “”/Pro are too damn good.

    Will the M3 fix things? I doubt it, the M3 Max is a ton better than the M1/M2 Pro/Max, but the machines most people can actually afford to buy aren't “got to buy it" faster.

    @paul they’ll soon start making the lifespan of macOS shorter on hardware. Laptop two years old? Sorry, can’t install the new OS. “Just” buy a new one.

    The public is skeptical of tech and its potential dangers to humanity—but to assuage that—let’s have our Apple guy explain new chips by tenting his fingers in Dr. Frankenstein’s murder laboratory situated on a volcanic island only accessible by helicopter

    When you’re communicating on Slack (or similar), don’t just say “Hi” and wait for the person you have a query for to reply with “Hi”. Just ask your question.

    @georgeharito Yeah that's another Slack pet peeve of mine. A couple of words in each message.
