>especially as we won’t work on product marketing for AI stuff, from a moral standpoint, but the vast majority of enquiries have been for exactly that.

I intentionally ignored the biggest invention of the 21st century out of strange personal beliefs and now my business is going bankrupt

I don't think it's fair to call them "strange" personal beliefs

> The losses are concentrated in tropical moist broadleaf forests in countries such as the Democratic Republic of Congo, Madagascar, and parts of West Africa, driven by deforestation and forest degradation

If I read this correctly: No, forests are not suddenly emitting carbon. People are just felling enough trees and treating them badly enough, that their forests are now dying faster than they are regrowing

Call me bad at parties, but a dedicated app for inviting people to the party is too much fanfare for my taste. If everyone waits around to see if their friends are going, nobody will RSVP because they're all waiting on each other to RSVP. We're all friends here. A good party fosters serendipity.

Granted, I'm the same person who accepts any invitation to any concert, and intentionally doesn't listen to the band ahead of time because the experience of hearing an artist in a live setting for the first time is so fun. I may have a bias towards serendipity.

I agree. We threw a halloween party. We just discussed who we wanted to invite and threw everybody together in a whatsapp groupchat to announce the thing.

Let's not get started with that... those same people also say "viertel vier" to mean 3:15 (one quarter of the "fourth hour" has passed), which is really confusing to the uninitiated, so "viertel nach"/"viertel vor" is preferable IMHO...

it's still correct and should be at least accepted as such, even if not explicitly taught

I switched to Pocket Casts because the official Apple app changed their UI to a recommendation feed instead of a plain timeline. I only listen to podcasts on a single device, anyone have suggestions for alternatives? I don't mind paying a one time fee, but this should really be a mostly (completely?) cloud-less app.
hutattedonmyarm · 3 months ago
I'm very happy with Overcast. It does show ads for other podcasts in the now playing screen if you're using the free version. Premium is a subscription, but it's like 10 bucks a year. That's perfectly okay. And to be honest, I rarely look at the "now playing" screen anyways

Are you sure about this? Your quoted article only has data from >20 years ago. I wouldn't be surprised if nowadays more people study at university than do an apprenticeship

hutattedonmyarm · 4 months ago
Based on my experience and not hard data: Not most, but still quite a few. Some jobs more or less require an apprenticeship (carpenter and other handy jobs). Doing an apprenticeship for a job and afterwards going to university also happens a lot

The fact that copying doesn't copy seems dangerous. Like what if I wanted to copy for the purpose of modifying the file while retaining the original. A trivial example of this might be I have a meme template and I want to write text in it while still keeping a blank copy of the template.

There's a place for alias file pointers, but lying to the user and pretending like an alias is a copy is bound to lead to unintended and confusing results

hutattedonmyarm · 10 months ago
It‘s Copy On Write. When you modify either one it does get turned into an actual copy

Another vote for Reeder. Very nice app and note that you can use iCloud as the backend and don’t need a separate service.
hutattedonmyarm · a year ago
True, but I want to use RSS on non-Apple devices as well. So I was looking for something with a web interface. That’s also why I’m still using the classic version

Website announcement, https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/blackmagicursacine..., doesn't even mention the Vision Pro and refers to Apple once.
hutattedonmyarm · a year ago
On the preorder page they're talking about the "URSA Cine Immersive":

which seems to be more in line what the article talks about
