What more can you say really.

You don't and I don't, but a lot of people are paying for streaming service ad tiers. And there's cable. And magazines.

I don't get it either but some people seem to be ok with paying for things that have ads, presumably believing that it would have cost more without them. Of course when true it's only because of corporate greed but still.

Imagine living in a regime so repressive that the government enforces what you may or may not call yourself.

It's only disrespectful if someone chooses to believe that it is. Why would they? And why would the government enforce that view?

There's no reason to meddle in people's personal affairs; people can decide for themselves what they wish to be called.

There's an argument to be made there but after years of district judges, most infamously the Northern District of Texas’s Matthew Kacsmaryk, blocking Biden policies on a nationwide basis, it’s five months into the second Trump administration that the high court decides to limit the practice. How convenient.

This is not about that. At all.

It's incredible even a single moron voted for him, let alone millions of them.

The US is a shithole now. Happy Canada Day!

Ruling on birthright citizenship would have required them to defend it against the constitution, which they knew they would never be able to do since it would be blatantly unconstitutional.

Today's ruling is a disgusting, corrupt workaround with even wider ranging ramifications.

The conservative judges on the SC are disgusting, deplorable people, utterly unfit to judge anything.

Today they limited the ability of courts to block presidential actions that they deem illegal, which is utterly against the constitution.

Protest to remove these people who clearly hate America, by any means necessary.

I wish every employee at every company whose elites claim they can replace large swaths of people with AI could just walk away and leave those companies with no one left to run them. See how far they get with AI alone.

Not far.

16GB is the base RAM for all new Macs.

crickets

Instead of the APIs only allowing apps to use Apple models the models should be interchangeable. Allow apps to offer models which other apps - and Apple AI features - will use. On-device is ok sometimes but it’s not the only private option. Let me use my home ollama rig. Or let me decide how much privacy matters for a given use case and choose my own provider.

This is just more anticompetitive Apple lock-in under the guise of privacy.

Not using anything made by Alphabet or Meta is definitely a good start.

As long as the sausage is good it doesn't matter how it's made.

So I encrypt my data with a strong key, distribute the key to a number of locations, and use a login credential to access the pieces of key.

Presumably I would do this rather than encrypting the data with my login credentials because there's more entropy in the key than in my credential (and things like being able to change my password without reencrypting the data)

ok. But the effective entropy is still that of the credential because if someone has it then they have my data, so I still need a strong credential. How do I store a strong credential? Probably a password manager. So why not just store the key in my password manager and encrypt my data with it? I don't see how distributing the key helps.
