Does that Declaration give you an inalienable right to do anything you please? I doubt it. As the old saying goes, your freedom stops where someone else’s freedom starts.

Or in Seinfeld speak, “we live in a society!!!”

Have to consider others not just oneself. That’s the price of freedom and being responsible about it.

The alternative is a nanny state or anarchy.

Sam Neill has died 10 days ago

Aside from Jurassic Park and the other roles mentioned, I also liked his role in the Merlin TV two part movies. Now I need to rewatch both…

It’s kind of like saying wedding photographers will be impacted because of the people posting on r/iPhoneography. Seems kind of silly doesn’t it.

I don’t know how it is all around the world but where I live, the photography is part of the whole packaged wedding plan and there’s no choice/option BUT to use one, guaranteeing their (expensive) service and job, regardless of what people can produce on their own.

OTOH, it’s probably better to have someone neutral there who can take pics rather than eat/drink/cry and whatever else people do at weddings ;)

If you do carry it to an enclave of civilization that has the right power, are they going to let you run it when it cuts into light for surgeons or heat to sterilize water?

Knowing humans? They'd probably take it by force and run it for themselves instead of providing light and heat to surgeons and water sterilizers...

Apple WWDC 2026 1 month ago

More than you think. This stuff also percolates into the news, blogs, YouTube videos, etc, and that also reaches more parents.

Google I/O 2 months ago

Jobs didn't have to say anything about how thin it was

"What is the MacBook Air? In a sentence, it's the world's thinnest notebook". [1] Then goes about listing product weight and dimensions of competitors. Granted he then visually compared the thinness, but still listed numbers.

THEN he mentioned the envelope and pulled it out... Then more specs (in the Apple style like it looks good, has a multi-touch trackpad, etc, followed by actual HDD/SDD size, and CPU spec available).

Masterfully done and well-presented regardless!

AND the product was right then and there and he could demo it and use it live

I think it's something to do with macos dark mode and accent colors.. So allow once is highlighted because it's the default option if you press enter. The next button is dark because it's themed and people (errr LLMs) who wrote the code didn't consider that a button should be distinct from the background theme of the window. And finally the other one's text is red because it's a dangerous action.
