Part of the fun for me is that it's kind of like a zen garden, but for buildings. I would love to see people start to populate and let the computer decide what they do and what the buildings are used for based on conditions created by the design of the city.

consistent uptime, apparently

you know that's bad, right?

it's called the macbook air

To be fair, Apple users only care about privacy when it suits them - 5-6 years ago, it was not a priority of any apple user and many mocked non-apple people for caring about it. If apples handing it to you, it must be important, or so the thinking seems to go

obsidian has a whole number of these things - to what degree, I do not know, but it's definitely worth looking

You could do all this work, or you could just use https://obsidian.md/

Thank you! Didn't see it before I posted.

I agree that corporations should be curtailed in both their size and power. This would resolve the paradox of speech being free, but it's platforms being controlled by a few large organizations. However, to say that free speech is absolute is absurd, because absolute free speech in this context would require the limitation of rights of organizations and owners too.

precisely. A better way to look at it is that you are free to travel by other means. The burden is convenience.

the billionaires running the digital tools all decide to ban me, I am silenced.

How so? Are you incapable of using non-digital media to communicate? Are you incapable of creating your own digital platforms for communication or using alternative, less popular means to do so? Are you prevented from going to city hall, council meetings, political rallies, or voting? Your speech as it relates to your rights granted in the constitution remains completely intact. Your rights are unaffected by your access to certain digital platforms.

Sounds like reasonable open internet regulation, like the type that "The Left" has been fighting to get for decades, would have really been something useful for Republicans to not oppose simply because of its popularity among the left.

Instead, we are left with mega corporations being the arbiters of their own platforms, Just like those supporting deregulation wanted.

Totally - you can also easily sync it with your own service, if you don't want to use their sync service. The flexibility is definitely a huge selling point.

Over the course of the last year I have been working on building a personal zettlekasten. I started in Notion, making several relational databases. However, after experiencing some down time, I decided to switch to Obsidian (https://obsidian.md/) it's a much, much better program, does not have slowdown issues on my mac, is fully cross platform (Mac, Windows, Linux) and has a sync system that works pretty seamlessly. Not to mention that the files are all plain markdown and stored locally.

Also used in Watchmen (2009) to great effect

I don't want to worry about whether my music will work five or ten years from now

This is exactly what Apple has already done to the iTunes world, music you had a decade ago is suddenly inaccessible

Very cool, love seeing projects like this produce repeatable results.

My thinkpad works very well with linux, I recommend Zorin or Arch

As of now it says the issue is 'resolved' for users failing update, but none of my macs attempting to upgrade agree with that status.

Wow this is a huge cluster - threw a complete wrench in my work for almost an hour. Is this what we should be expecting from Apple going forward?

This did help, thank you!

Currently there is an outage preventing users from downloading the update - also experiencing extreme slowness on all macs after having selected the update for download - even though the download has failed. Not a good sign of things to come.

I like it. Would love to talk more on this

Interesting choice - strange to see so many companies move away from their well-established design language into font-centric typeface logos.

"Transphobia" - even such things as thinking about "sex" and "gender" as different concepts are quite US specific. i.e. where I live we typically refer to people by their sex, and don't even have a term for a separate concept like gender.

Another way of saying this is that Lithuania is currently either culturally or politically suppressing trans people, whether inherently or knowingly - I promise you trans people and their alternative identification exist there, too. You just dont see it and/or they are afraid to say so.

iPhone is one of the highest margin products in apples ecosystem

Java edition will work on all x86 machines

How about when things move to Apple Silicon? Will they then not be just as locked down as iOS iPadOS? Subjected to the same limited app store?

What about when your computer is on Apple Silicon, and the stores (and their policies) have been merged?

Not to mention that the transition to Apple Silicon will lead to the total integration of the Mac App Store into the iOS store, so these policies are going to merge at some point and literally apply to general computers too
