I would never use this - it makes sense for the trackpad and mouse to work in the “natural” direction, just like on an iPhone and iPad screen. When I use Windows on a real PC then it confuses me, but that is rare I do that. So this makes no sense to me, but hey, whatever floats your boat ;-)

What’s with the blank white pop up on the website?

Nice! I will check that out.

Didn't work on macOS (multiple sed errors - switches differ from Linux) but prompted me to write a help function ;-)

I love it when someone tries to tell me what I should like or do. I don’t care if you like Apple or not. I happen to like them, not everything of course, but overall yes. And you’re advocating limiting their success? They, like all of us, can succeed or fail in America. They are successful because people like their products and software. Duh. Jealousy does not suit you very well. Don’t get me wrong, I like Android and Linux too, I’m an expert on Linux myself. But there’s a reason I use an iPhone, iPad Pro and MacBook Pro. It’s called convenience and productivity. And I like it!

Who basically invented the App Store? And now you don’t like that they make money on it?

Your whole article just strikes me as sour grapes.

Yes! Why does it show up like that at night? #eyesablaze

Rule number one: define your terms as you introduce them. On and on about ML. But what is it?

I had to search to see it was Machine Learning.

How hard is it to define it the first time you use it?

I can bet lots of people were scratching their heads but didn’t bother to look it up or continue reading...

About a month ago, a hacker guessed a weak password on one of my seldom-used Google accounts. They changed the password and the recovery email.

I attempted to get the account back, including telling them the old password, old recovery email, and the month and year I opened the account (like 10 years ago) but no, they said they “couldn’t” do it.

So I’m sunk. No recourse, no one to appeal to.

So why would I put my whole life into Google? When it can be taken away so quickly, and there is no appeal process?

On my main Google account I do have a recovery email (that I host) and 2FA. But I do not feel secure that the same thing couldn’t happen there too.

If it does, you are sunk.

I’m actually in the process of moving everything off of Google.

No thanks!

+1 for the Brave browser. And Chrome plugins work on it too!

MeshCentral is open source, runs on Linux and works with Windows, Mac and Linux clients for one-off support and unattended remote control...

Great insight and a great app you’ve written! I am enjoying it on my Macs and iPad Pro. And I’m glad to support your work, as I benefit from it ;-)

"in a void filled only by wealthy donors and bloodsucking companies" - spoken like a true socialist. Like the world “owes” you a living? Produce what people value, and they will pay you. Very simple. Anything else is oppression of the worker or by the State.

Give a bunch of homeless people homes they don’t work for, and they will trash them in short order. People don’t respect things they don’t work for. I suggest the author give up their house and show us how it goes! Instead of telling others how they want to take their money from them (that they worked for) to fund crazy liberal schemes.

Speaking of phones, did you try to read this on a phone? Tiny font, not responsive design and faint color (no contrast) makes it very hard to read. Ugh.

404 error? (page not found)

Really, you’re going to treat Mac "Keeper", well-known malware, as a legit source for security info? Really? Really?

Herman Miller Aeron chair I've had forever and ever, 15-20 years? So long I'm not sure. Still looks great and works great. I spent nearly a grand on it, but the best money I ever spent on a chair.
