Ads in the App Store are filthy and everyone at Apple should be ashamed. The responsible people should be fired.

I'm not sure who 'home users' are, but i doubt they're buying two $9,499 computers.
Peanuts for people who make their living with computers.

The TV manufacturers still make it highly annoying to avoid their integrated bullshit now. The setting to launch an LG WebOS TV into its last input on power-on is buried under 'advanced settings' several menus deep.
They would rather launch you into their home hub full of preinstalled apps even if it's not online...
... and the thing came with Microsoft Copilot installed, and you couldn't uninstall it, either.
The future!
I don’t own a TV, but would’ve bought a LG just because of webOS if I finally decided to get one. But if it comes with uninstallable Microsoft apps, that changes it.

Leaving now is the best way to ensure things get worse. If you've given up, your vote no longer counts and your voice no longer matters.

I think it was Snowden who made TLS the default. Let's Encrypt did great work, but basically having the NSA's spying made common knowledge (including revealing some things that were worse than we expected, like stealing the traffic between Google's data centers) created a consensus that unencrypted HTTP had to go, despite the objections of people like Roy Fielding.
The article claims http was kept around. My experience was, that once you setup https you just redirected http, like today.
Snowden may have been a coincidence, too. We knew encryption was better, it was just too much of a hassle for most sites.

Sad to see they've apparently fully given up on releasing their models via torrent magnet URLs shared on Twitter; those will stay around long after Hugging Face is dead.

One of the best pieces of advice about software engineering as well.
Pseudointellectuality. It sounds profound at first, but it's wrong.
You may not be able to remove anything, but that doesn’t mean nothing needs to be added, ergo it’s not perfection.

The happiest software developers are those who write HTML, CSS, PHP, and just a sprinkle of JS like they used to do 20 years ago.
