@chris Agreed. I often hear how Apple is playing "catch up" with Android with each iOS release. In this case, Apple doesn't feel like they're playing catch up, it feels more like outright scrambling. This does not give me the warm and fuzzy feeling Apple marketing likes to tout.

I was just listening to @macsparky 's weekly update and while I wasn't surprised that Apple doesn't seem ready to fully release it's touted LLM offerings with iOS 18 this fall, I am a bit disappointed by this news. This "slap 'beta' on it" trend doesn't feel very much like the Apple I know. I'm really not enjoying the "throw out half baked software" trend; in particular, it feels like it takes some of the shine off all things Apple.

@chris this is it. This is life, the one you get, so go and have a ball

Husband: “it’s Romano brand”

Has anyone assessed the national average IQ lately or has it fallen so far over a cliff that it can no longer be determined

When did DuckDuckGo start sending news links to MSN? Oh, I do not like that.

@itsjustdj The United States has been doing many of these things since the mid 1960s. With logarithms and punch tape. For the life of me I can not figure out why these modern rocket companies are trying to reinvent everything from scratch. Maybe the need to invest in COBOL or noun-verb UIs or something.
