I have successfully worked up a tolerance to “something is wrong on the internet” syndrome. Now I struggle to write anything.

@cabel Cabel, I must protest your alt text in which you call the esteemed TEAM PP a Chevrolet.

@nickheer Bilton's fantasizing seems absolutely obvious and a nice touch—I don't think it's fiction so much as channeling rumors that have swirled for years about product development.

@glennf I thought it was obvious and fine, but it took me out of the flow of the piece for a second. That’s what I meant by the uncanny valley feeling.

@glennf Seems like some people missed what I took as obvious fiction, though.

I am so very, very tired of being hooked up to some tech dickhead's autofeeder. I don't know how anyone looks at the current web landscape and doesn't immediately revolt. It's revolting! The proper response is convulsion! Stop letting someone's capitalist grift trick you into giving away all of your attention, data, and critical thinking ability.

My god, to think that there was a time where the internet seemed like an unequivocal good.

@keenan I swear many websites are getting closer to travel booking sites which are, universally, the worst kind of website.

The problem with this gender panic law, secondary to the suffering it will cause, is that it is pure vibes and cannot be countered through facts or history or reality. It’s just permanently aggrieved people with the power to hurt the already hurting.

If Apple can be an Irish company for tax purposes, my iPhone should be able to be Irish for preferable ecosystem terms.

I was wondering how Apple was going to thread the PR needle for the DMA stuff and now I know: in the bitterest of tones. https://www.apple.com/ie/newsroom/2024/01/apple-announces-changes-to-ios-safari-and-the-app-store-in-the-european-union/

Has anyone pointed out that the front view of the Vision Pro looks like a really nice butt?

Stumbled across “The Apple Circle” YouTube channel (302,000 subscribers) and I have to wonder if the secret to success is lying to your audience all the time. Look at this nonsense: https://www.youtube.com/@TheAppleCircle/videos

We have been able to independently survey the state of popular apps coming to the Apple Vision Pro – either in compatibility mode or as native apps.

As of today the results (coming straight from the App Store API) are pretty concerning. We found no native apps and a lot of companies that manually opted out of compatibility mode. That includes Spotify and YouTube.

We hope this will change soon. Our results and compiled list: https://www.macstories.net/news/a-survey-of-popular-apps-currently-compatible-with-apple-vision-pro/

@viticci Have you considered selling merch that says ‘“Enthusiast”’?

You know what I’m getting at.

My wife’s laptop had ~30 GB remaining free space so I’m helping her tidy it up. I deleted about 80 GB of stuff. Disk Utility now says, after a restart, there are 29 free GB.

Why, yes, it is formatted APFS, how did you guess?

Now I am installing an application which required me to permit the installer to open, then permit it access to the Downloads folder, then permit it to update or delete applications for which a password was required. This was all before the installer actually ran, requiring another password (as you’d expect).

Maybe this is a spoiler for how I’m grading software quality in this year’s Six Colors report card.

We have just been told via emergency alert in Alberta to reduce our electricity usage or there could be rolling blackouts but — and I know this sounds petty — here is a live view of downtown Calgary at 19:00 on a Saturday.

I would have more sympathy if these fully-lit and heated office towers were offered to unhoused people just trying to survive a windchill that is presently –40°.

Nice of European researchers to invent the World Wide Web so Americans can use it to dunk on Europe’s lack of innovation.

Machine learning does not know the difference between “I clicked on this because I am interested in this” and “I clicked on this because I need to know who the hell this person is and why the hell they are in my feed”.

Photoshop has a known bug where the “Save” dialog box is entirely blank, and any workaround requires you to quit Photoshop — which means you will lose your work because you cannot save it. Creative tools for professionals, my ass.
