Why not offer both?

I personally dislike subscriptions to the point where I’d gladly pay more to own, and as this thread shows, I’m not alone.

So why not offer both?

MI 1 isn’t flashbacks, that would be MI2

Isn’t “half one” used as a short form of “half past one” these days, I.e. 01:30? That has been a source of confusion for someone used to the Germanic way.

Are you a lawyer?

Grey laptops that share some ideas in their outline while being distinct enough to not get lawyers from Cupertino on their necks?

Both English and Icelandic versions are available (potentially hidden in the burger menu on mobile): https://island.is/forsetaframbod

Unlike your average user, if you have the knowledge to apply a hex editor, then you probably can Google how to work around the signature error.

Jorn is (Nor), not (Swe)

- A Norwegian

Formerly Lindows, foreshadowing what will happen next.

To quote Einstein: “everything is relative”

You can go even further if you open the MIDI settings thing (I don’t remember the exact name, it’s in Utilities).

There you can set the per channel volume with 2 digits, giving you 10 steps extra between 0 and 1, as well as balance.

Why is simply asking permission controversial?

If the implication is that what you’re doing would be rejected by 99,9% of users if they were asked, then you should reconsider either what you’re doing, or how you’re presenting it to them.

Opt-in can boil down to a simple non defaulted choice during installation.

Opt-in would still allow for that.

Why talk someone’s hobby project down like that?

Vid isnt closer to “by”?

(Asking as a Norwegian, since “ved” is “by” or “beside”)

To be pedantic: YYYY-MM-DD

The full year is required to make it clear that 23-12-10 isn’t the day before X-mas eve in 2010

Fair enough, I stand corrected, and agree that telemetry would be useful there.

Makes me wonder though, if there is a SwiftUI codebase, why not maintain the macOS app as a native app too?

I find that the crowd here isn’t all that privacy absolutist (ala EFF).

The views I see on stuff like telemetry or ad tracking tend to lean towards that either being inevitable, or just the cost of doing business.

Sure you have some of the privacy absolutists too, but the crowd seems more varied, with perhaps a slight skew the other way, at least to the Slashdot of yore.

That could also have been avoided by not rewriting in Electron, which I truly think 0 users wanted, whereas the old app warranted nominations for the Apple Design Award.

It’s still not too late to reverse that decision.

Incidentally, how would telemetry tell you that people miss a removed feature if said telemetry was not in place before removal?

Explicitly opt-out sadly.

It bothers me quite a bit to read that we’ve normalized telemetry as much as we have. If you’d asked more or less any random hacker 10 years ago if any of this was remotely OK they’d all be slack-jawed to learn what has happened.

Where did all the privacy conscious hackers go? Did they all get replaced when JavaScript and Electron became the norm?

Except you dont, not in termos of unchanging UX. Gnome reinvents itself too often…

I’m surprised XFCE isn’t pushed more as an option.

Or negative, then I would consider thinking about it, maybe.

Does it still count as Betteridge’s law if the answer is “Oh god, for the love of all that is good in this world, NO!”

The PowerPC machines never did reach actual 5 hour battery time, 3 at most, on a good day, with the display off.

The very argument that was presented when iOS first came out, as well as whenever touchscreens on MacBooks come up, is that the UX is fundamentally different.

So why would it suddenly be a good idea to import this from iOS?

Netflix owns the Dahl’s estate.

Kinder Eggs and/or lower legal drinking age?

I was about to just make that joke, then realized that actually social media might be worse than alcohol…

Presumably just the eras equivalent of Hákarl or Surströmming was left, alongside the pizza-with-pineapple equivalent and Dr. Pepper-equivalent.

The trick is in not linking healthcare coverage to employment.

The ones most likely to find a new job quickly, yes.
