@ThatChipGuy

@stroughtonsmith I definitely heard some [respectful] kvetching about this for Callsheet. I set new pricing after I heard this a few times.

There are two problems in computer science:

1) Naming things
2) How do you get two objects that really shouldn't know about each other to share data?
3) Off-by-one errors

> There's no point in having fuck-you money in the bank if you never say "fuck you"!

> In short, instead of meekly capitulating to pathetic bullies, this is a moment when Apple needed go on the attack. Instead of curling up in a defensive ball on the floor and crying while you hand out gold bricks to fascist predators, this is a time when a company full of smart and talented people should stand its ground.

@BenRiceM By pretending it's not happening (most likely) or going 100% online.

You literally cannot convince me this car isn’t ugly as sin.

@rileytestut They really are playing a game of chicken that they started, and I don’t think the EU is going to be first to flinch.

At least for now, I plan to treat Mastodon as my home base, and Threads/Bluesky as occasional places to visit. However, this "Post interaction settings" dialog over there at Bluesky is NICE. I wish so badly for something similar here.

This is so gross. 👎🏻 × ∞

When is Apple going to realize that rent-seeking anywhere and everywhere is not only a bad look, but will get them regulated straight to hell?

(And at this point, it's more than deserved. Bring it on.)

Can someone please make a 1Password clone that isn’t a pile of garbage? Pretty please?

Seems like Hamilton has forgotten how to drive and Ricciardo finally remembered.

“…as though it is some kind of graceful obligation for Apple to support applications that do not inflate its own services income.”

“[Apple] wants to fight and it does not seem to care how that looks.”

I think the thing I find most offensive about Apple of 2024 is this conviction that Apple not only gifts us developers a platform, but also we will always and forever owe them for it. With zero acknowledgement that their platform is equally reliant on us to be competitive.

@Penultimate Honestly sending a link to LinkedIn alone is enough to give me 🤨
