Oh, you want profit? This is a surveillance spyware wrapper around the entire MacOS user experience - so if you thought Microsoft's Copilot Recall was invasive monitoring, you haven't seen anything yet.

If Apple won't monetize a user panopticon and partner with governments to do it, OpenAI will be right there, to take the cash.

I will argue against strict adherence to this statement. Gnome applications written to the project guidelines have become very fine, since the introduction of GTK-4 and libadwaita. I prefer many of these to their equivalents on MacOS.

It's true that most of these fall into a general category of "utilities", and that Windows enjoys a broader ecosystem driven by commercial incentive. But Windows programs are hardly "better' for this, and the widely varied usability is generally sub-par compared to level that's become norm for Gnome/Adwaita software.

Sorry, gessel beat you by four hours and two minutes. But thanks for the support!

I propose a ban on time travel. Do I hear a second?

and it's here today. No homelessness. No medical bankruptcy. No food insecurity. Affordable education. Decent places for everyone to live.

God point; I'd forgotten that their repo URLs are named by codename.

Which operating system is newer: Focal Fossa or Sequoia? Gingerbread or Wheezy? Calendar versioning is pretty useful for some things. Major/minor revision versioning is useful for others. Codenames worked for Ubuntu during the first alphabetical run, but they started out non-alphabetical with WW, then HH, then BB, then DD-ZZ,AA-QQ, and now the second RR. The third WW will happen before the second CC. Codename versioning can work within one product line to denote relative age, but only if done properly. They're mostly marketing. When 'nix-heads chat about Ubuntu or Debian, they mention Ubuntu's calendar version or Debian's major version. Mac-heads, while numbered versioning exists, focus on the names and get confused about the relative ages of anything other than current. Naming discreet things like servers not in a cluster which don't need to have relative comparison to one another? Sure, ST:TNG up your rack space. But software is a different matter.

Nvidia is therefore a bubble. This article is complaining that Europe is an obstacle to further bubble inflation.
No amount of Nvidia etching IP onto wafers is worthy of a 4.6 TRILLION market cap - bigger than the 4.2 Trillion market cap of the ENTIRE name-brand pharmaceutical industry.

When I made my switch, I was the same. I started by weening myself off sugar by mixing diet with regular in ever increasing proportions. Diet sweeteners taste very sweet to me now, and sugar is very strong, almost undrinkable.

Yeah, full-sugar soda tastes like drinking cake frosting now that I'm a diet drinker.

Surprisingly for me, the switch to diet caused a gradual and permanent drop of 10% of my weight, increased density, and without change in other parts of my diet or exercise. I did drink a *lot* of soda though, so I can see how those calories were tipping the balance.

No. Warmer temperatures might change how much you eat and drink of the (cold) foods and beverages you already eat and drink, but it doesn't make you want more sugar. It makes you want more [cold thing], which happens to contain sugar. People drinking diet sodas aren't getting more sugar. They probably are getting less calcium as the sodas bind to the calcium in their food, but that's not sugar.
This is a food industry problem, not a warming problem.

Orange is just vibrant brown, so I can see a language without a distinct word for orange.

I mean, we're all reading this article, or at least TFS. Okay, I'll fess up. I only read the title.

Archimedes should have used peacocks instead of polished bronze mirrors.
