I do not understand all of the drama surrounding passkeys. They work flawlessly for me on all my devices. Maybe that’s because I’m all-in on Apple devices, but I have yet to have a single problem with passkeys.

Thanks so much! Will do

Can we get a Safari version?

What monopoly?

PCs still have USB-A ports? USB-A is old enough to drink.

This is exactly why I have a have a strict blanket ban on automatic updates on all of my devices.

This is how you end up with the total dumpster fire known as npm.

That phrase "lower-value human capital" fills me with rage.

Why are you so shameless?

This is delicious.

I really wonder how much time and effort people think they are saving by avoiding the Shift key.

That's what I want to know.

This is a very good way to put it.

AI is being pushed so hard from the top down by every executive (who have been practically foaming at the mouth about AI for years now) it might as well be extruding from every port and seam on people's devices as if it were a buzzword/fomo diarrhea of some sort.

Safari

I had the same thought. I don't understand why this post got flagged otherwise.

This right here is exactly where I've been at mentally and emotionally for the last couple of years.

I worked so hard to break into web dev in the very late 2010s because the deal supposedly was:

1. Learn to code 2. Get your first real job as a software developer 3. Enjoy your comfortable middle-class lifestyle

but I barely got to enjoy any of this before the calendar switched over to 2020 and it's been one fucking thing after another.

I'm a Mac person through and through but I've always had the deepest respect for the sincere commitment to freedom and privacy that you find in the FOSS world.

I am shocked by what's going on with systemd and by how suddenly bootlicky LWN has gotten.

Maximizing everything whether the document fills the screen or not is very Windows user behavior. macOS is not meant to be used that way.

iCloud Keychain

I have always been skeptical / disdainful of people who speak in corporate bullshit all the time. It's very tryhard and rather unnecessary in my view.

After playing around with it for a bit, one request I would like to make is being able to open multiple tabs.

This is really really nice! Great work!

My only nitpick is I wish I could force dark mode on web pages with a light background, but that’s minor.

So they'd rather lie in their press release.

You do not have a reasonable expectation of privacy in a public space and it is absurd to suggest that people should/could.

I have been thinking about this Animal Farm quote a lot recently.

Arch or Endeavour

Copilot being added to the Xbox app on iOS is the latest ridiculous example I've seen of AI being shoved down everyone's throat.

No, it's not. A kilobyte is 1,024 bytes.

So you know what you’re doing here is against the rules and you did it anyway.

The simple solution on Apple platforms is to deny Location Services to Teams in macOS and iOS.¹ Done.
