SIP is a good thing and prevents a lot of (usually PEBKAC) problems. It is also the direction where Linux is going (is now? or maybe they gave up? idk, it’s been a while since I heard about immutable distros).

For tech-aware people, it is probably not necessary indeed. However, given that now “tech-aware” people are running completely random and unvalidated scripts w/o second thoughts (or even first thoughts actually) on their main machine, I’d say the “tech-aware” line is very very high…

You can disable SIP if you want. You can run whatever you want on your machine. Disabling SIP is indeed a security risk… then again, so is running something as root. Having a Mac w/o SIP is no more a security risk than having a Linux w/o a r/o kernel AFAIK.

AFAIK if you start the game you have a chance to win if the other plays poorly, otherwise it’s a draw.

Good one

If only there was a technology that existed to link files together… /s

Interesting. For the GAFAM yeah, I got those. But for banks, in my country at least, I’m not sure they are even allowed to use passkeys. Instead we have a glorious numerical keypad where we have to manually click on the keys and the keys are never at the same place. I’d love to have passkeys instead…

Where do you have so many sites asking for passkeys? I’m desperately trying to have more but I have ~1.1k passwords in my password manager and only 63 passkeys!

Personally I love passkeys and think it’s not deployed enough. It works great (for me anyways!) and it is SO MUCH better than “login with email” that is everywhere now.

It’s been a very long time since macOS broke for me. Sure, there are bugs (especially in the window manager), but they are consistent.

That’s huge, no?

Or create a separate keychain db and use that. The encryption is only done for the login keychain.

> You can export your passwords to a plain text CSV from the original computer.

Exporting a private key from a keychain is hard to automate (the password of the keychain is asked for all exports, and HAS to be typed manually IIRC).

Passwords and passkeys are in the iCloud keychain. You can technically save passwords in the login keychain (not sure about passkeys), but if you’re using the Passwords app it will be in the iCloud one.

Yup. They have much more bandwidth to test things, but no original thoughts (and tbh, not thoughts at all, actually).

They still are parrots. Just properly trained with a lot of data. Doesn’t make them not useful. But that’s what they are though.

Yeah I have Infuse only, and am happy with it. No need for jellyfin or whatever else. Honestly Infuse may be one of my best app purchases of these past 10 years…

ssshhhhhht, AI is intelligent now, no need to read any of its output! /s

“Good news” yeah…

For files like `.DS_Store`, technically yes. Usually the people do not have a proper global gitignore, so we put these files in the gitignore of the repo, but it’s not repo-related, it’s OS-related… Same goes for editor files. The editor is something user-related, not project related (except e.g. for iOS development where the IDE is kind of more or less imposed).

> why not just do an initial setup step to gitignore the usual files?

Or even better, have a proper global gitignore file on your computer…

Once again, “AI is bad at things I’m very good at, but good at things I am not very good at (or don’t care about).”

See first footnote

I’m sorry but the “If SQL were built on YAML” part is actually better than SQL.

I’m pretty sure they actually can actually. On an iPhone with a “ask for no tracking” configuration (no IDFA), I’d wager it’s probably even easier on the web than it is in an app.

I tend to agree this is the only reasonable use of AI indeed.

AI has no intelligence whatsoever though… Well not entirely true, but the only intelligence there is in AI is the human one behind it all.

Oh I shall propose my dependency injection lib, it has not and will never use AI…

Natively I don’t think so. macOS thinks in terms of apps, not windows. Personally I prefer that way but I understand how it can be annoying. There’s AltTab to fix that (freemium but open-source).
