Given that OpenClaw isn’t a lot of code, Apple could still build their own. After all, a hyper-personal AI Assistant is what they announced as “Apple Intelligence” two WWDCs ago. Or the could buy OpenClaw, hand it to the Shortcuts team, throw in their remaining AI devs, and Bob’s your uncle. They aren’t first to OpenClaw, but maybe they can still be the best. I know I’d like to be sure it can’t erase my entire disk just because i sneeze when I’m telling it what to do.

I don't think about anyone at the cafe, unless I start chatting with someone. I just take a physical book with me, crack it open, and read as I sip my coffee. I keep a notepad nearby in case I have good ideas while reading. I may get a refill. When I've read enough, I leave. It's 100% relaxing for me.

Yes, but many of them care about different twenty-percentses, so you probably still need the whole thing to keep the number of users you currently have.
BUT if you can find a feature that few people use, but which requires a lot of maintenance and/or ongoing development time, get rid of that bit and enjoy a higher ROI.

I think you’ll find that most people who love HTMX don’t ever want something that feels like writing an SPA.

Have you tried importing them using the Image Capture app on iOS, instead of the Photos app? It just gets them off the camera/SDCard and onto your Mac in a folder, which you can then drag onto Photos.app -- worth a shot.
Feels like Google is either following Apple's playbook from iPhone OS 1, or they're working together so they can argue this is standard practice in the industry... or something. Either way, no more Android gloating that they can install any app from anywhere any time without centralized approval. Not great. I'm an Apple fan, BUT I like having a fully open backup plan.

I believe some conspiracy theories because I've verified that 2 of them are true (no, I'm not going to get into any details). That made me wonder how many others are true?
Could chatting with an LLM-based AI convince me otherwise? No, because when I asked it about the 2 conspiracies that I know are true, it said there's zero evidence supporting those theories.
Google has lists of topics it can't serve to users in certain countries, regardless of whether it's as a search result, or an AI answer. Other LLM-based AIs must have to follow the same rules. Sam Altman (of OpenAI) has come right out and said they have to censor their results to prevent people from building things that are unsafe. Well, knowledge of certain things can be dangerous, too.
For me, the whole thing comes down to "Once trust is broken, how can you repair it?" -- For many of us, it can't be rebuilt. Once a liar, always a liar.
