It does affect Retina devices. That's the whole point. I made the same change that Apple is going to make and the fonts looked far worse (almost unreadable). You can observe the same if you have an Apple device by going to: System Preferences-->General-->Use LCD Font Smoothing When Available.

Apple is removing sub-pixel anti-aliasing for all devices, not just non-Retina ones.

The Economist is owned in part by the Rothschild family[1]. Yes, the same family who popularized central banking! Here's a good general overview of the plan [2]. You might think it's a good plan, or a bad plan depending on whether you like nation states or think they shouldn't exist. The same goes for why the economist would support a global carbon tax as thst can't be good for rich people. It's because it would fund a global government with limited accountability and drain national treasuries. The goal is globalism. The enemy is the nation state. They've been working on this for decades and they've failed a bunch, but they never ever give up.

In addition to the MacBook Air and normal non-4K external display, it seems that this will also affect projectors. Therefore, it seems that presentation using macOS Mojave will only make your slides/keynote look bad and less professional. Moreover, the projector is not something you can upgrade. It is usually preinstalled in whatever venue where you give your presentation, and totally outside your control.

Forcing app developers to live with the same lowest-common-denominator aesthetics that most users see, will make them more likely to raise the bar for the aesthetics on lowest-common-denominator devices.

I assume it's the similarity to 1984.
Yes, that is a primary argument. Information exists and is meant to be free. None of the "software companies" would exist without free access to data. I support public libraries over media retailers 100% of the time, as well.

On top of that, I own my computer. I am responsible for the data which is transferred to my computer. I should have a fully-accessible offline copy of any and all data which is transferred to my computer, and not one bit of data should ever be transferred from my computer without my express consent.

Adblocking comes to be a multifaceted statement. It is anticorporatism, it is privacy advocacy, and it is a declaration of data ownership & responsibility. And for some people, it's accessibility layered on top of one or more of those.

I would have gone with "potentially receptive towards bigotry" rather than "disturbed," but I take your point.

I am indeed making an assumption, and maybe I shouldn't do that. But as a practical matter, I find it increasingly difficult to take things on the Internet at face value. There are enough interesting things out there that aren't associated with bigotry, and so it's a harder sell when projects (perhaps inadvertently) are.

Imo the charitable/interesting view (for roguelikes) is that most games expect you to progress, and want you to, and will actively help you. Roguelikes on the otherhand don't particularly care, and you as a player have to overcome it despite the game's negligence. Which I think is where most of the difficulty comes from: how little it helps you when you get into a bad spot, and you've got 20 unknown potions. or rather, how little it tries to stop you from getting into such a bad spot.

More extreme down that line would be dwarf fortress, particularly adventure mode (fortress mode doesn't help my point: they even have the motto "losing is fun"...)

I agree that roguelikes are self-aware, and make it mostly painless to restart, but I think its more a result of roguelikes actively working with the permadeath mechanic, whereas ironman is more of a "game mode"; that is, the game isn't built with iron man in mind. Ironman is a variant of the gameplay. Both I think still are primarily valued for the fear of death, and I don't think either require, expect or encourage death. Its just more that, ironman is worse at the mechanic, primarily because its a rather shallow, incidental feature, rather than at the heart of it.

It happens to be easy to tack on ironman mode, on a non-ironman game; you just remove the save slots, and delete it on death. But they're still normal, non-permadeath games at heart.

Aside from the striking similarity to 1984 there is the fact that all of these devices are internet-connected and probably have backdoors or vulnerabilities (so while they might not listen all the time normally, they can be switched to listening all the time if you become targeted). Stallman calls this a "universal backdoor". Most of these devices are always-on and are placed in central positions in your home -- this is not generally true of laptops (mobile phones are carried with you -- but I don't actually have a smartphone for this reason).

Personally I physically disconnect all of the internal microphones from my laptops, and cover the cameras. I wish more people would do the same thing. Purism actually provides physical hardware switches which is much easier-to-use than having to physically take apart your machine (though Purism used to have proprietary kernel drivers, I'm not sure what the current status is).
This is good to know about (and a great idea) - i'll take a look later. The other issue with using a VPN is people can no longer use the 'social pack' which is a cheap social media only data package available on all the networks.

While k8s does not in and of itself solve some of the issues pointed out above, it does centralize a lot of these problems. These centralized problems are then often easily addressed by the cloud providers actually running the k8 cluster. GKE automatically sends log data and metrics through fluentd to their Stackdriver platform including error alerting. If something even prints something that looks like a stack trace to stdout or stderr, Stackdriver sends alerts and creates an issue for us.
No, the Web I want is a free and open sharing of ideas and passion projects without all the added nonsense. It's fine if corporations have a limited presence, but frankly speaking, I believe we need to go back to Web 1.0. I'd have no problem with allowing non-Web walled-garden commercial services like Prodigy or AOL used to be. If you want to pay to be part of that (social) ecosystem, that's fine and you do you. For me, I want to be part of a free society of mutual benefit.
Do you think most developers are using a non-retina screen? Compared to the general population I bet they skew very heavily towards newer, retina machines. Which means they'll barely notice anything. This is just plain lowering the bar, not raising the average.
Are they forcing app developers to not use retina screens?
I run an ad blocker as a matter of security.

Well clearly you just glazed over what I said which was also what I expected.

I personally find the idea of having complete control over your own money, being able to program it, and being able to send it to anyone in the world fairly quickly and cheaply without any intermediary revolutionary. It doesn’t hurt that it is impossible to counterfeit, and your money can be stored completely in your brain.

If you don’t find those ideas revolutionary that is fine, but I think 10 or 20 years from now you may be surprised.

Outside of any of the technical feats, there is also the fact that Bitcoin is the best form of money in terms of the properties of money. Limited/fixed supply, divisible to 8 decimal places, can’t be counterfeited, easy to transact with, etc. I don’t see how anything else can even compare.

I am also curious why you think burning crap-tons of electricity to run the current financial system where you have to trust everyone is any better?

The device is still analyzing everything and necessarily needs to in order to identify the hot word. It could be doing any type of analysis and do anything with that analysis. It is all closed source so we will never know what it does in our home. And as the technology progresses, it will get better at analyzing, and so will be able to do more analysis and more advanced analysis, and we will then be more comfortable with having this thing in our home, because we will have become accustomed to it.

I disagree. If the spirit in this case was no convoluted work arounds that would be interpreted by a reasonable person that would seem to stop this while preserving the normal use cases of license use. This convoluted ownership structure is clearly designed to circumvent and seems to to have no operational purpose. Besides, securities regulations take this principles based approach all the time.
What are the keyboard shortcuts for this?
I hope we are all somehow misunderstanding how terrible this is.

The idea that they would downgrade the display support so that non-retina monitors--- and let's be serious, that is nearly all monitors that people dock into at work or at home-- are going to look worse in Mojave, is almost too absurd to be true.

I want to see this for myself.

Does anyone know if you can simulate this now, without installing the beta? Or if you can install or somehow use the beta without nuking what you already have?

Edit: I am still on Sierra, because the buzz around High Sierra made it sounds like it was a bad idea to upgrade. This is sounding more and more like Mojave is a no-go as well.

As someone who's done some email marketing and sales, I would avoid cold emails as a starter tactic.

This is the software equivalent to moving exclusively to USB-C. 18 months after the 2016 MacBook Pro, the vast majority of hardware currently in use still requires a dongle, and 18 months from Mojave's release, the vast majority of external monitors in use will still look blurry without subpixel AA.

The quality of sub-pixel AA depends A LOT on the physical parameters of the display. It's basically the OS saying "I know that pixels aren't actually square, and I'll use that knowledge to better digitize the font's curves." That worked fine when everything was CRTs or the same technology of LCD displays. However the faults of sup-pixel AA show through pretty strongly on the variety of modern displays (OLED vs AMOLED vs. ...), and the rotation capability of tablet displays. Apple is in the process of switching LED technologies across their products.

That said, if there's anyone in the position to exploit their knowledge of the ACTUAL physical display and its sub-pixel layout, it's Apple. I'd expect Windows or Android to drop sub-pixel AA... but iOS/macOS? I'm mystified.
