Readit Newsno regrets. the ecosystem has been pretty solid for everything we've wanted to do. Stability/performance has been very good.
also: if you're looking for a high profile startup using elixir, supabase is almost entirely elixir and discord uses it for some critical parts.
They don't care about your gaming experience on Mac. They care about money.
I wish they weren't so short sighted here. They can't see through the trees that maybe they won't make money selling games through the app store, but they would make money selling more Macs.
Apple's dream is not to have AAA games land on Apple Silicon - they can do this with Proton-like layer, like they did with GPTK. Apple's wet dream is to have AAA games land in the Apple App Store - not on Steam or Epic Game store. That is why the GPTK effort is only have assed (and the license prevents Valve integrating it into steam directly).
Having the ability to programmatically generate new games would be amazing. It would be great to have the game completely generated by AI, and then pipe the screenshots into a video AI tool to create the ads.
Will it support slot based games and gambling card games? My head is just buzzing at the possibilities and the opportunity for profits from this!

Apple is moving iCloud further into macOS and making the Mac more akin to an Apple Chromebook with every release. Time Machine gets little to no love, and users are getting steered ever more strongly towards backing up data onto iCloud.
Even buying an Apple device isn't really buying a device anymore. You're really buying a transferable lease for 6-7 years on a device that has a hard stop to go to landfill after that time due to software obsolescence by way of unpatched vulnerabilities.
I don't actually dislike Chromebooks at all, but this is saddening when you've bought a computer to use it as a computer and any sense of ownership or agency is quietly clawed away.
There is no “hard stop” on the life time of a Mac. Yeah Apple will eventually stop updating the software but this has always been true. If anything this situation is much better that it ever has been with free OS updates.
Finally even if there was a hard stop Apple will gladly recycle your product. No need for it to go to a landfill.
My 7950x machine cost, excluding the enthusiast GPU, $3000. That's less than half the cost of the M2 Ultra.
What is in this gap? Do you know of any good resources that outline the features that Cursor provides over VSCode with Copilot?
