Unfortunately he has too much cash since he owns some of the largest social networks and thus receives insane amounts of ad spend… this will not end soon

The author is a "Firm believer that humankind took a wrong turn with the invention of the smartphone." and has a new book coming out, so naturally he is trying to push some anti-tech narrative.

No, headphones don't make people antisocial. If someone is wearing headphones, respect their privacy and just leave them alone. Some people just don't like to chat to random people on the subway or at the supermarket. Some people just don't see the value of mundane conversations with strangers.

It depends on the culture and personality. Some people like it, some don't. In the US, people are more inclined to chat to strangers, and in Germany for example they aren't. These differences are actually what make us "human", so it's not a binary decision of: talking to strangers == good, and headphones == bad.

Thanks for the tip, instead of enduring any longer, i decided to downgrade, which was easier than I expected, and this old version works, doesn't have this bug.

Just delete the Outlook app from the Applications folder, and run the Outlook installer from version 16.109.3 (June 02, 2026) [1]. All data is there, no need for any backups or anything.

Then, delete (or rename) the Microsoft AutoUpdate App, which lives in: /Library/Application Support/Microsoft/MAU2.0

The latest version of "Legacy Outlook" on Mac has a huge bug now: "Replying to or forwarding an email does not include the original message in the email body in legacy Outlook for Mac" [1]

So now i am forced to use this New Outlook crapware at last. And it is crap. Its slow as a dog, every action takes 1s. Why do they rearrange all the buttons, change all the fonts... why don't they just copy the old interface 1:1 ? Who knows...

If I have to use this new version for longer than 2 weeks I am switching to some other client.

And also, who knows, maybe they are purposefully inserting these show-stopping bugs to get people to switch.

I've now moved to an Android eReader (Boox Note 7, for example [1]).

I can just get the Ebook or PDF files and transfer them via Calibre, simple as that, and I can also download any Android app i want. There are tons of apps out there that support eInk screens.

To be fair marketing vibing content pages is different from managers vibing code that powers a trading app for example.

Yes of course, im running a few production projects with it.

Granted, its B2B Saas with not many users, maybe 100 concurrent.

80% of workloads dont need the complexity of Kubernetes and run fine with compose.

I would say most people are complaining about the $20 plan, which is now actually indistinguishable from the free one. I tested it and ran into limits immediately. With Max, i can work properly again.

You are equating countries with corporations now?

How does that even remotely make sense?

If you work there, you are part of the problem, there is no excuse for that.

Nobody is forcing you to work there.

Funny, I just signed up for Pro a couple hours ago, to check how Claude Code works using this plan, instead of using my API keys.

I got rate limited after about 30mins of coding and was thinking, who the hell i going to work like this?

So they really seem to be running into extreme capacity issued now.

Agree with you, but when was Siri ever “well-regarded”?

Its been trash since day 1.

Actually i know an engineer at a startup that was hired to clean up the original slopcoded MVP. So there is also opportunity in this space.

In the tech world, security is mostly just a theater , it is used to push though unwanted and unpopular things, like access control, privacy invasion, etc...

All this signing business, leads to one party having the final say, and guess what, they are going to abuse that power...

That's... not quite right :)

React Router, which belongs to Remix, which was acquired by Shopify, is here: https://github.com/remix-run/react-router

Tanstack Router is an entirely new router.

Its quite nice, there is a so called "article mode", where you can set a zoomed portion of the PDF, and configure how it "jumps" to the next page.

See video here: https://youtu.be/vQxlGIR8LE4?t=835

TanStack started out by providing a very good JS table library. Now they offer a Router, and some more libs. They are definitely an up and coming name in the JS space.

The Kindle hardware is great, but the software and ecosystem are just crap, and Amazon is making it shittier every year.

Lots of early internet users were also “gate-kept” in some weird AOL CD land.

Also, you dont need to consume the algo content. You can choose to disengage.

I agree. As much as Starlink is a technological miracle, the fact that I should finance the dealings of this man is too much.

SpaceX IPO is the next in the long grift chain.

It excites me, since I am finally going to replace my 2019 Intel MacBook Pro!

So now all the open source projects that use this walled off closed platform (even though scores of people complained and warned about it) can go back to hopefully using something open and searchable.

Im using Bitbucket for years with no issues.

I agree about the proliferance of curl | bash, but homebrew is not the answer.

They cut support for old platforms way to fast and just in essence try to dictate far too much.

Some are, some arent.

The Bavarian state for example just signed a huge deal with MS.

Since WW2, German national pride is something that is not very well received, added to that the old east/west divide, and the generally strong identification with ones own state/region. It is a complex affair.

Whats the best Euro S3 alternative?

Why is opening the taskbar right click menu slower on Win11 than on Win95?

Why is there a gap between the menu and the taskbar?

I used to have muscle memory to quickly close windows rightclick taskbar -> leftclick “close” but this stopped working. Why??
