Not a problem if you don't use TikTok. I don't see the point.

Those who can’t or won’t move off of Windows have some other way to run Linux stuff in a virtual machine that integrates into a native terminal. I’ve found it quite awkward in general, and honestly haven’t thought much of it since I just decided to move to Linux.

I'm still using MediaMonkey for my collection.

You're wrong. It's not on OP.

macOS automatically revokes these permissions even after you set them, requiring you to re-approve.

macOS went from a very prominently Linux-alike (Snow Leopard era) to locked down North Korean iOSification over the span of 15 years. I agree, it's in such a bad state right now. Can't do much of anything in the OS without having to jump through 5-10 consent prompts.

This is objectively false. AI stunts and reduces the learning process. Banning it is 100% the right move.

This sex predator and sociopath belongs in prison.

There's also no need to defend the industry, as you seem to be doing...

I'm embarrassed that every site is now AI generated and carries the same exact visuals/aesthetics/smells of vibe coding. Such a disgrace to creativity.

First of all, an OS needing to download multiple gigabytes of nonsense that the vast majority of users will never touch, is an absolute non-starter.

Also, a 256GB Mac Mini literally cannot function with this garbage installed. There isn’t enough disk space.

This is objectively false on the 27 OSes.

Complete hogwash and nonsense article written by a hack.

AI finds a lot of "vulnerabilities" but most are fake, untested, or not actually vulnerabilities.

Reminder that AI is quite stupid.

Thank god. Tired of these orgs blindly and stupidly allowing them (Debian, cough).

For an org that promised they weren't just going to blindly accept AI/slop/vibecode, this sure looks like a slopped together vibecoding site.

Told you this would happen.

Mastodon is absolutely thriving. I get you want to be a contrarian but the fediverse is loaded with people who left X and never went back.

No, that's not what happened.

In reality, the "full disk access" restriction system never actually worked right. I'm positive Apple is just trying to save face here and quietly fix it while saying they're "tighting" it

It's really gotten out of hand. Trying to literally plug something in results in at least one (sometimes multiple) prompts being like "are you SUUUUURE you want this plugged in?"

macOS has been revoking access to stuff like this over the past decade. Things like unfettered access to modifying the OS went away with Gatekeeper and System Integrity Protection. "root" access is no longer true root on any Mac, and the user is treated like a prisoner. The UAC-esque prompts that come up in macOS would make Vista-era MS so jealous.

If it worked as intended, they wouldn't be in this predicament.

That feature was so stupidly nonfunctional before. Some apps got stopped by it, others didn't. Often you'd be able to install an app from homebrew and it had full ride access to the disk, while App Store apps had to request consent for any folder whatsoever. It was completely random.

Sports Illustrated often makes mistakes.

If it operated on port 9000 by default it would be perfect.

That's a lot of unnecessary words to just say they're renaming that feature.

Not to mention it's a highly unused feature. Most will use HASS on a home LAN in a self-hosted environment with no directly connectivity (unless you're insane), behind a VPN, which is the only correct way to do it.

Nobody ever used this nor heard of this.

Mozilla has the dumbest priorities.

> AI features don't seem to be improving the web experience

Elaborate? it's done nothing but ruin the internet so far. Slop content, search engines are unusable, and now the lowest common denominator simply chatbots a half-baked website and thinks it's good when it isn't.

I personally never stopped. I had my collection I've been building since before I owned a Zune, and never wanted to give that up. Local media is infinitely higher quality than streaming anyway.

If you self-host, you owe it to yourself to set up Navidrome.

Vibe coded replica, not the actual OS or programs.

Also riddled with inaccuracies.

AI needs to die so we can buy electronics again. This is one of the top reasons why nobody likes it (among many other reasons)

Both are to blame.

It got 1000% worse when street lights went to LEDs. And in my area, they didn't even use warm colored LEDs - they are harsh bright white bulbs.

I miss the 70s/80s/90s era of street lights where they were warm and easy on the eyes.
