Are you sure the package was physically routed through Toronto and it’s not just customs documents etc filed by the corporate office?

They're still playing catch-up... X Elite is okay but the M4 chips blow it and everything else out of the water. Personally, I don't want an "AI Laptop" or a "CoPilot Laptop"... I don't need even more AI generated slop. I just want what Apple is sellling: a reasonably powerful laptop with crazy good energy efficiency and quality hardware.

A huge percentage of the security vulnerabilities in C and C++ programs are due to memory bugs etc that comes from rushed or careless programming. Why not write in memory-safe systems languages like Rust that can completely avoid these entire classes of bugs?

I mean, if Bluesky can let you create/choose custom algorithms for your feed, why can’t Mastodon?

Look at the real statistics. Everyone is using Chrome. Even among developers.

We are outliers. On Linux devices I use FF derivatives (Floorp, LibreWolf), and on macOS I’m using Orion RC.

The first and only thing I want to know about Apple Intelligence is how to turn it off.

Oh good, I’m using English (UK), so it won’t work to begin with.

They spelled “wage theft” wrong.

When I lived in the UK what I felt among friends is that the BBC had a perceived bias towards the Conservative Party, although this may simply be a bias towards the government regardless of who in power. It’s been the Tories for the past decade before Starmer.

Mostly, yes. The decentralized identity system is not.

My fear with Bsky is even though it’s open source we’ll still just end up with one large VC funded company controlling the one big instance everyone uses and then enshittification begins.

This is always one of the first things I setup on a project and teach or encourage my teams to do… I’m always surprised how many devs would rather use print statements all the time (not just in Rust, but especially JS/TS) when it only takes like 5 minutes to configure the debugger. Maybe 10 minutes if you need to search how to open the debugging port in Chrome/FF.

Unfortunately a shockingly large number of people don’t get this… including my old boss who was running an AI-based startup 💀
