Feels like a huge power loss just to get slightly better text. You slow rendering down 4x for this

> The only solution to malware is to not install it in the first place.

You have zero software downloaded from the internet currently running on your machine? How do you know you don't have a rootkit installed without SIP?

Anyway, all I meant is that SIP has nothing to do with protecting your data so even mentioning it is kind of off topic.

Yet another "this is the future!" project that completely misunderstands why the present is the way it is.

The website does not work on mobile. If you used CSS you wouldn't have this problem.

SIP protects the OS, not you nor your files. If you run third party software that can run `rm` of course you're vulnerable to data loss. Apples and oranges.

SIP guarantees that you will be able to turn on your computer in safe mode and remove the malware, whereas without it your OS is toast.

sorry pawpaw

This is only for really old people. I entered Apple's ecosystem 20 years ago and I've never seen half of these products in real life.

I'm surprised that The Verge went ahead with this, but knowing the state of things, I'm sure they coded some guy's idea and never thought about the (tiny) demographic interested in this.

Same energy as "buy bitcoin" in 2011

Ok, post that as a top comment, it's completely irrelevant to the comment that it replied to.

Like GP, I'm also a paid subscriber and I couldn't care less where else it's available. If anything, it being a native app rather than a multiplatform JS wrapper is a plus to me.

How's this related to anything?

How do you expect that to work? Automatic reporting is impossible, you have to rely on individuals to arrive there, open the app and take a guess. Then by the time you see the report the line is long gone (or tripled)

This request has no basis in reality.

There are many such examples for npm as well: many "compatible" managers, one registry.

Makes no sense, the wording suggests it can use Homebrew's backend, not that it's a complete alternative to Homebrew. Nobody is confused about that.

OSS is not a democracy. If he controls packages with millions of downloads, you either follow what he does or fork the packages, which is what the article is about.

And even then the vast majority of people will continue to use his packages because they don't care or don't have time to investigate bloat.

> why I would actually want most of these features in the browser

The page is about PWAs, applications that can be installed by the browser rather than the platform's App Store. Native applications already have those capabilities and a lot more.

I'm struggling to come with why reasons why such a website should display that banner. Apple doesn't.

As much as I resisted it, I switched to Alfred years ago and I don't see myself switching back anytime soon.

I've always been "pro-change" for UIs, as opposed to the bunch of people in the "bring the old UI back" camp, but Tahoe looked like fecal matter from the moment it was introduced.

On iOS it's manageable with reduced transparency, but on macOS it's just so awful I won't upgrade.

> WTF is wrong with JS developers

Don't confuse "one idiot who wants to support Node 0.4 in 2026" with "JS developers". Everybody hates this guy and he puts his hands into the most popular packages, introducing his junk dependencies everywhere.

Not a bug, works as intended.

Yes and no. I don't want to be a Karen, but also I think it's fair to not cause discomfort to others. Imagine if every flight was as noisy a city intersection. For 5 hours. And you can't hide.

Just open the window

It's a thing everywhere except very well-behaved places/countries. This means it's almost everywhere.

The last time I had an uncle blast his Doujin feed at full volume next to me, I suggested he lower the volume, he didn't care, so I blasted my own feed at louder volume. He got it then. Sadly people a few rows back did the same on the next train...

This is really a non-issue, all password fields behave this way, so it's not like this is a new computer behavior. This change only aligns sudo to literally everything else.

Paid B2C support is a real tough sale. A lot of low-cost airlines don't provide support at all (if not in person), I guess because it's not practical. If costs could be covered this way, everyone could offer support. Even Google! And yet they don't.

I think HP was absolutely right in doing this. How many times have you opened a GitHub issues only to come back an hour later with "nvm I figured it out" and close it?

The hope is always that you figure it out autonomously.

That gets expensive fast. Most phone support tech is composed of average gents who are given a 60 minutes introduction to the system and wished good luck. So cheap, so many unemployed people to choose from.

The last comment is ridiculous. Newborns have a literal lifetime to catch up—rather, they will learn what they need when they need it.

I did too and have seen unspeakable things. 4chan is much better these days but it's still where neurons go die.

It depends, really.

Anyone who sells to my enemies is my enemy. You yourself can be subject to embargoes.

That I'm starting to feel the pain myself, but the Spotify hate is way older than this phenomenon.
