I totally feel you on the Apple store part. That's another feature that is very tempting to me. Anything break? Fine, drive straight to the Apple store and get it taken care of.
> It's not comfortable to poke a semi-vertical touchscreen over a long period of time where you have to support your whole arm while also making precise movements with your fingers.

To be fair I think Apple knows this too, which is why trackpad/mouse support is now a first class feature rather than an accessibility option.

And also probably why they have never released touch Macs.

Maybe they are already not pumping this much. Just discount it 20% from any number. It’s free carbon removal by your proposal. They’d fleece you if you offer that payment to them lol. You’d never be able to track it
It's not just Facebook. Every sales, marketing, or product person in the world basically has an unlimited appetite for data and will push to suck up as much data as possible.

There is a logical reason for this: one of the toughest things is knowing what your users actually want and what their actual pain points are. In advertising there's an analogous problem often summarized as: "I know I am wasting 80% of my ad spend, but I don't know which 80%."

Every single incentive on the business side incentivizes data grabbing. This will never change unless users vote hard with their wallets or unless there is protective legislation.
That is why I use YT Music. Podcasts are in a different Google realm (Google podcasts), and get no podspaming. I also find spotify too in your face in general, like an over eager salesman.

The impact of cloud waste on the environment
It depends which apps you have in the menu bar. Disney, Netflix, Apple, & Plex, they show continue playing shortcuts. Amazon Prime shows promo ads, so I moved it to the right so I never see them.
Why make a sexy homepage? To convince people to use it? Don't you want to make it work real well first, and then make the sexy homepage, when it's, you know... good software?

Back in the day, you would release your software on Freshmeat.net (https://web.archive.org/web/20010528211603/http://freshmeat....). You would get excited if people clicked on your project (https://web.archive.org/web/20100627062409/http://freshmeat....), but you'd get more excited if people downloaded your software, because it meant people were actually trying it out. (I can't find the graphs anymore, but it used to show you if anyone had clicked on the .tar.gz of your source code. It also used to have comments, but in later versions seems like comments were removed)

Anyone else remember back when the web was useful?

From the article: "support for up to a 6K display".

Seems like it's the same as the M1 MacBook Air and Pro.
Those new iMacs look really lovely. They should be a perfect desktop for many users. At 24inch, the screen is large enough, the M1 powerful, silent and also doesn't use a lot of electricity. With all environment concerns, the electricity usage of computers should not be overlooked.

I am very happy to see the return of colors, love that! But white bezels around the screen? Those are a bit of a no go for me.

And of course: why still no video in, especially with such a great screen. In times of home-office, it would be so great if you could connect your work laptop to your iMac for video output. I might have gotten one just to replace my dell 24" 4k screen (they are getting rare, seems to be basically the only screen with almost 200dpi on the market). (A Vesa-mount option would be great too, especially considering thow small and light the iMac is)
3 of those settings panes are baked directly into Windows 10 and have nothing to do with any 3rd-party drivers.

If the sound isn't enough, the power management is even worse. I count at least 5 different panes to configure different subsets of screen saver, sleep, hibernate and power on/off behavior, all from Windows itself with no 3rd-party software involved.
The $1099 model was non 4K, iMac 4K was $1299 prior, so it's the same price.
No I cannot, and that is the rub. I don't have a Squarespace site. I'm just a web user who often uses the ESC key.

They're *NOT* honest:

No you're not, the GDPR has been active for 3 years now, or 5 years if you include the time where it wasn't mandatory, if you were engaged it would have been fixed already.

> and committed to looking at options that support our full range of digital offerings to the EU market.

Yea, so how about the option of just disabling privacy invading code on your website, which would probably take much less than 3 years?

> We continue to identify technical compliance solutions that will provide all readers with our award-winning journalism.

More repetition of the same empty "we're DOING SO MUCH!".

But well, at least it doesn't say "We care about our European readers" like most of such blocked websites say.

That one usually makes my blood boil: You're not caring at all. If you were caring, you wouldn't lock out 448 million people for years!

Depends on the setup of the Discord server.

Many servers have different "roles" created, though often they're just nothing more than a title and a different color for your name when chatting on the server. If you don't have the default role on your server, then anybody would probably notice the fake person is a fake because they'd have the default role color.

Second, servers can require that your account have a verified phone number for you to join or chat on it, which raises the barrier a bit for creating fake accounts.

Finally, even if they join a mutual server and send you a private message, when you view the message, you won't see the private message history of the conversation with the real account, giving away that it's at the very least a new account.

Overall, it's harder to impersonate on Discord than it is on AIM, but still certainly not impossible.

I find that constant user interface refreshes reflect the company culture and less so trends. They love to build new apps. I wish they would have incentives in place to maintain old ones.

> Unless the benevolent dictator pushes out a new Elm version that is not backward compatible.

That wouldn't break your build/deploy out of the blue, as you don't get force updated to the latest version.

And having worked on the 0.19 transition, it was in public preview for about 3/4 of a year and regularly discussed in the elm slack. When 0.19.1 came about, there were some more pre-release versions, where evan asked people to test and give feedback in slack. Can't speak for versions before that.

> Personally when ever I hear about an interesting podcast, and it's followed by "available on Spotify/Podimo, whatever", my reaction is always: Okay, never mind then.

Every time I hear that (and I want to check it out), I do so in Pocket Casts, my fav app (first on Android, then on iOS). I know there are probably podcasts that are _only_ on Spotify, but I haven't tripped over one yet.
The hype so far is very well justified, though.

There are issues, for sure, the "2 displays, max" limitation, the memory limitation, these are real problems- but they're not hidden away, they're well known and understood and if you can live with that then these are genuinely generational leaps in terms of performance/watt which _really matters_.

Your negativity is misplaced, the machines limitations are well understood and the performance advantages known too.

We don't know what M2/M1X will bring, but if you want huge performance wins _today_ and not hypothetically then the M1 is delivering that.
I know they make a point in reasoning "why not landfill?" but I have to wonder if "injecting our magic bio-oil deep underground" just sounded better to the VCs vs "we we just friggin' buried the corn husks."
It doesn't adequately handle the SaaSification case, which is when someone hosts the software behind a paywall. It only handles the "Tivoization" case when someone ships the software inside a closed source box.

Pretty sure Apple funded MacPorts
How do you do that? Are you paying them to shut the pumps down for X hours? What if the rest of their demand remains constant? I don't see how this can possibly work.
Haven't you heard? Programming is the only "pro" or performance-intensive thing that exists.

I don't even understand why programmers are always so up in arms about devices like the iPad. Why on earth does one want to program on a handheld touchscreen device anyway? I have zero expectations for that, much like I have zero expectations for the laptop I do program on to be a good drawing device.
Tile uses everyone with the tile app installed. It's not the same by sheer numbers, but it's more than enough that if someone slips a tile tracker on you they will know where you're at. Or, if someone wants to spend a bit more money, not even much more, they can buy a full GPS tracker that doesn't need anything to report on it. Apple isn't coming out with some groundbreaking spy tech here, this is very routine stuff thats been in a small format forever. And guess what, none of the existing ones do anything to alert anyone of stalking, unlike Apple. I don't even like Apple but this is silly.
Agreed. The problem here as I understand is that Facebook misled users about how "private" their info actually was.
Pretty sure a "Business" edition is in the plan.
I find this "Teams is garbage" vs the experience at our company quite interesting.

We've been relying on Teams since the pandemic broke out. Us devs had been using it before just for chat and such, so was obvious fit.

Teams voice, video and screen sharing just works for us. Heck, today I helped my coworker with an urgent issue via a Teams call while I was hiking in the mountains. He shared his screen and I viewed it on my mobile phone, so I could talk him through a workaround. Worked smooth as ever.

There are some points where it's not as smooth, especially search is a pain. But basic functionality like chat, voice and video just works for us.
That depends on the state you are in. That is how it will play out in CA, not at all how it will play out in TX.
Discord has started giving me popups and adding sparkles around UI elements that I need to pay for. I thought the premium "Nitro" was a nice option but I guess it isn't popular enough? Either way it seems that now they are nagging hard to get you to pay.

What I don't like about changes like this is that it makes it impossible to reuse any Grafana/Loki/Tempo pieces or libraries in any more permissively-licensed code without forcing that whole project into the AGPL as well. That doesn't only hinder competitors (which seems to be the legitimate goal), but also hinders interoperability and an open ecosystem evolving where people freely exchange bits and pieces of code to make things work together. I know that some parts of the codebases have been exempted from these changes (see https://twitter.com/TwitchiH/status/1384566382180896769), but those are only some, and they may change over time...
> From your example, K8s will definitely outlive Google. Hard to say about Android.

What leads you to say that? I wouldn't be surprised if kubernetes is dead in 20 years. I would be very surprised if google is dead in 20 years.
Usernames don’t even matter that much thanks to nicks (display names) which are available in Matrix (and unlike Discord, they are available in DM’s), and furthermore, you can get an account with a smaller provider that federates if you really want a username taken on matrix.org.

Other Discord features like servers aren’t there yet, but “usernames” doesn’t seem like a real deficiency.
Worth mentioning that if you move out all your stocks and funds from RH to another broker, they keep your account open but they deactivate trading and won't allow you to reactivate, the only option is to open a new one. I wonder if they count those "open but deactivated" accounts as part of their MAUs.
With pre-orders on the 30th, nah. You'll see reviews mid-may.
Yes, the model is entirely built on acquisitions, where discord itself can't be profitable, but part of Microsoft it can deliver value by deepening the mote around everything else.

Many things are only valuable as a public good or part of monopoly. Such is funny relationship between monopolization and socialism.
I've tried really hard to understand this a few times and yesterday or early today or something I found an interesting thread here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11354475

reitanqild seems to misunderstand and the other posters fill in with more information.

If the information in that thread is correct and I read it correctly it is totally fine to use an AGPL server that touches connects to a lot of stuff, it won't affect any of that.

Only if you somehow touches the codebase of the AGPL licensed code by modifying it or creating a combined work then the AGPL will take effect in the same way as today - except that allowing access to a running instance over a network will trigger it too, not only distribution of the binaries or the code.

The FiiO M3 Pro (successor model) can also be used as a USB Headphone preamp, thinking about getting one myself. Does anybody know if it is possible to adjust left/right balance via the software (when using as music player or DAC)? My right ear is slightly impaired and would need higher volume on the right - or at least enable stereo-to-mono downmix. Genuinely interested if this device would support this.
I forgot all about text inputs! With the actual remote, You have to fumble with that letter-at-a-time selector. I’m even more surprised anyone bothers with the physical remote.
Exactly, the Mac has very biased defaults but is open to customization. The iPad is very biased period. It’s „you’re using it wrong“ taken to the extreme. The device should work for the user. Every time I see a convoluted iPad remote webdev setup I can’t help but think the user is working for the device. (I have the same feeling towards using VIM as a general purpose IDE. It works but requires much more work than, say, using VSCode with a VI plug-in).
Seriously.

I was running it windowed, on a Linux box.

Very, very well done.

I've not seen it in decades, but there was a great little site in a similar vein years ago that would detect your OS (Windows or Linux) and be an "animated GIF" of a remote exploit of some sort or another, the usual "run exploit, grab root, run id to prove you're root" thing (the Windows version was similar). Except, it was dynamic based on your public IP. So most people didn't get it. And sysadmin types, who usually did know their public IP, had to restart their heart.
Cloudflare should not be trusted. They've shown they care more about $ than about doing the right thing.

Once everyone has handed over their DNS and their hosting, do we really believe that Cloudflare isn't going to make exiting them really, really hard?

This is yet another example of how they want to re-centralize the Internet, with them in control of as much of it as possible.

I'm curious how you handle migrations and schema documentation, which to me are the huge benefit of using something like Django or ActiveRecord. Do you version-control at least your forward-migrations as SQL or SQL-via-Slonik? And do you have processes in place to ensure columns are documented in a central location?

Not just that, but you can no longer sign up for a Skype (even "for business") account if your organization has Teams through Office 365, but Teams doesn't interoperate well with Skype so if you, for business reasons, need to communicate with a Skype user without using a personal Skype account, you're SOL.

A few monopolistic corporations having dictatorial power over key technologies is a dystopian nightmare.

Those projects have ultimately the interests of the corporations in mind not of the users.

AirTags depends on other users with iOS devices to track devices out of range of your phone. If you're in an area with limited to no cell coverage, there probably aren't many people wandering around with iOS devices either -- especially not ones with cell connectivity to upload the locations where they spotted your tag.
