I'm glad I don't have any contacts/photos in iCloud or locally, don't use FaceTime/iMessage etc. Contacts are in DAV. Mail is webmail. Photos self hosted with Immich. I do have my Calendar on my Mac, that's it.

Mac is totally Windows-ified now. Have you seen the new user setup steps for MacOS 27? SO MANY CLICKS! And a plethora of debloating tools now, to disable Apple Intelligence etc. Sigh

(oh and MacOS 27.2 has SO many bugs I've lost count within just 24 hours of upgrading. Can't even trust x.2 releases now)

I don't really like fermented foods and I avoid dairy. Only have heavy carbs a few times a month. Mostly it's meat, vegetables, fruit. I've done various diets as a result of trying to fix other issues but none move the needle on the food noise

I've also had no stress for like, a year now due to my circumstances

It can also increase it! Both effects are scientifically plausible

I've had this configured for a while now due to my number being leaked all over the place and getting 4-8 spam calls a day :/

It is now firmly back, after ~6 months off the drug (due to cost) :/

I've managed to keep off the lost weight, through a lot of willpower, but winter will be a struggle I can tell.

If you say "an privacy" it'll sound like English isn't your first language.

Police don't care enough (or are told to do just enough to keep some of the public happy) and the government likes the income taxes from the "employees" and the council likes the business rates...

It's corrupt as hell

> People don't understand the scams but they smell it.

This is so so true and well put

No, it's that I don't like the council and central government turning a blind eye to obvious crime fronts because they're desperate for the tax. Don't call me a bigot or xenophobe.

I would prefer them to be knocked down for housing frankly, as many town centres are close to useful train stations. The council can then use the council tax

Councils are supporting the don't build any housing any where mandate. It is such an obvious use of the land it's crazy. We still have to delusionally play along with ideas about how to "regenerate the high street".

Case in point. Huddersfield is currently "regenerating" its town borrowing huge sums for a new library and new markets etc instead of just flattening the town and replacing it with housing. The railway line is also having a major upgrade. The timing is literally perfect. Another own goal. But hey a lot of employment was generated and I'm sure the mandate to employ local didn't mean a lot of backhanders....

People will move to a shithole if it has good transport links to jobs, which Huddersfield has. Look at Romford for example. The council has sold off loads of land for flats and is selling more. All because of the new Elizabeth Line

Guess what the result is when 10,000s people with good jobs move in to an area? Demand for shops and services!

Might be helpful to explain why someone should run a nightly build of something as critical as a terminal :D

I'm running WezTerm stable currently, so am curious.

It's like an over-eager junior engineer that will implement whatever pattern they read about last week. It just doesn't feel trained on high-quality enterprise, battle-hardened codebases.

Even Opus 5.5 on High thinking still littered a root directory of a JS project with source files without thinking to put it in a 'src' directory. It had to be told to use a testing framework. Had to be told to also test with Firefox (the project already had established Chrome /and/ Firefox targets).

I have to continuously burn tokens and effort correcting it.

I imagine it performs a bit better with a huge corpus of architecture and style guides. But I did expect to get some that for free with the "leading" model.

Quite a few apps now requiring MacOS 26 or higher because of the AI hype train. It's frustrating.

MacOS 15 only came out 2 years ago and isn't end of life!

They have their reasons - it is what it is.

Plenty of other sites exist with news and discussion.

For real. Also disconnects if you wave a palm hair in its general direction. So much worse than screw-in DVI, mechanical design wise.

Really shows how out of touch HN can be at times

The electricity market up until a decade or so ago worked well for almost every consumer. Fair, equitable prices for everyone, with the energy companies and government owning the concern about how to power a nation.

Now the reality people are trying to make happen is "just invest $10-30k and turn your house into a substation", and they don't see how absurd it is compared to the very recent past. A single mother working 50 hours a week and 2 jobs doesn't have $20k for solar upgrades and can't cook at 12am and doesn't have time to take out the clothes in the morning and doesn't have 3 hours for a heat-pump dryer to eventually dry the clothes

Look, I'm from the UK, I don't need to be told how precarious our (geopolitical) situation is with natural gas. But I don't want people getting screwed in the transition.
