The funny thing about apple is just how far they've moved away from Jobs' "vision".

It was clearly evident when they released the Apple Pencil. Jobs hated Stylus'. one of the reasons he killed the newton, and a reason why the iphone/ipad never originally had one as he was quoted as saying "why would I need a stylus? I have 5 of them on my hand"

I mean Apple is like a cult that worship a dead god who would burn current Apple to the ground and start over if he came back.

hell one of them already took a shot at him. If that's not a wake up call I don't know what is.

it's total bullshit. For example if you use ublock origin every now and again sure you might get ads that pop up, but AT MOST that lasts for a day, generally it'll last a couple hours as the team at ublock update their lists to block ads again. There's no need, literally zero need, to remove it from your extensions. and at worst, like I got yesterday, you'll just see a black screen that buffers for a bit before the video plays. the ad is still blocked.

you can also circumvent most of this if you use freetube. OR if you just want music the youtube-dl script on linux. I also ditched spotify for youtube-dl as I can also download entire playlists with it.

This was already debunked awhile ago. it's bullshit. no restaurant, regardless of how poorly they're doing, is going to go through all this work to maybe, just mabye, get $50 out of them.

This is just like "what not to do in IT/dev/tech 101" right here. Every since I've been in the industry for literally decades at this point I was always told, even when in school, "Never test in production, never roll anything out to production on a Friday, if you're unsure have someone senior code review" of which, Crowdstrike, failed to do all of the above. Even the most junior of junior devs should know better. So the fact that this update was allowed go through...I mean blame the juniors, the seniors, the PM's, the CTO's, everyone. If your shit is so critical that a couple bad lines of poorly written code (which apparently is what it was) can cripple the majority of the world....yeah crowdstrike is done.

originally Switch was supposed to be trans but, you know, 1999 and it was too early for that as the Wachowski sisters stated. The red pill in the movie was literally modelled after the perscribed estrogen people that trans women took in the 90s (which makes the whole "red pill" thing today really funny). Theres' also the whole "dead name" thing but that's up for debate.

hope your job never gets offshored

you: "Yeah I lost my job, but hey, now someone in India gets to earn a living...can you help me prop up my cardboard box to keep the rain out? thanks."

I work with the homeless. the main misconception is that they're all either addicts or mentally ill. This is far, far, from true. The ones you see daily, chances are they are addicts or mentally ill but the "hidden" homeless vastly out weighs the ones you see on the streets.

Most have jobs or are actively looking for work. A lot are escaping domestic abuse or are LGBTQ+ and escaping hostile home environments. There are A LOT of families and elderly people who simply can't afford to keep a roof over their heads.

nope, lock them both up. the child was 2 years old and these wet brained morons A. left a 2 year old child in the car, alone, and B. left an unsecured gun in the car. so the kid cleary also wasnt in a car seat or they leave their guns laying in the back seat.

and surprise, surprise they've set up a gofundme. scum.

in all honesty, that's what you Americans need to do. the days of peaceful protests and marching are behind you, you missed that boat a while ago. now a ship named "Revolution" has just pulled into dock and if you're not on that boat then there's no more boats coming.

Stop using the excuse of "but I need to work, I have to pay rent, I have to pay bills" because in 4 months time you might not have a job to pay those bills or rent. hell depending on if you're a woman, LGBTQ+, liberal, black, an immigrant, etc, etc, etc you might have none of the above.

The American people and the country as a whole are literally, currently, right now in real time dying by a thousand cuts. you're being slowly and methodically murdered with precision and too many of you don't realize you're dying. Time to demand heads on pikes and if they aren't handed to you, well you need to go out and get them.

One way or another people are going to die. I mean I'm not going to sugar coat this, people will die.

So the question is would you rather die laying on your back doing nothing or would you rather die saving whats left of your nation and fighting for your fellow American?

think you Americans are beyond a peaceful protest at this point, right now you need a revolution. you are quite literally 4 months away from a potential dictatorship.

oh you might not be sad now but you will be after you pay for all of that. Where I live with the Wingstop here that's gonna run you $50.
