Did I read recently that Anthropocene essentially breaks even? This is a massive investment, I hope they aren’t digging a hole.

I agree that Debian beats Homebrew. But wouldn’t a persistent Debian container on Mac be better? WSL is nothing more than a container on the system, no?

The Mac hardware is vastly superior to most Windows laptops, especially enterprise Windows laptops.

Even my 2017 MBP on macOS 13 still gets security updates. Heck iPhone 6 got a security update recently.

Your points are valid but it’s not 2 years, it’s more than that for big vulnerabilities.

Climate science does itself a disservice by being so imprecise and not controlling for unrelated variables. And yet your comment is flagged, and probably will be removed.

I’ve been running Mailcow for 5+ years. After getting over initial reputation issues, it’s been smooth sailing.

I’m not in control, I’m just a user, but thanks. I have talked to the owners on occasion and plan to keep bringing it up so they can investigate.

Ouch. We are headed that direction. The problem is, if a vulnerability is found in a plugin, then you have to get everyone to manually upgrade. Doing it this way means everyone’s software is always out of date, which has its own drawbacks too.

Re: Microsoft Defender, I’m actually talking about defender on macOS. It is a multi platform product. I hear infosec is pretty happy with it. Me? It uses 100% CPU even when I’m doing nothing. I’m not happy.

This is a very subjective take.

If you like Windows, you’ll find it better with WSL2. In fact, I see many developers at my org who claim they’ll switch to Windows (from Mac) when we make it available internally.

However, if you love Mac, you'll never find Windows palpable no matter what.

And then there’s all shades of gray.

The Mac ecosystem isn’t as closed as you’re alluding to. You can easily download unsigned binaries and run them. Furthermore, if you’re looking for a battery hog, look no further than Microsoft Defender, Jamf Protect, and Elasticbeat. All 3 of those are forcibly installed on my work laptop and guzzle up CPU and battery.

I just use VSCode with a markdown file and the mermaid preview extension. It’s all local.

It was a joke about how AI loves to tell you that you’re right but then it regurgitates its prior plan verbatim.

Your comment made me realize that it was an extension I’m using on my iPhone on iOS 26 that is causing the issue. The extension is StopTheMadness.

I had an option called “Protect page zoom controls” which allows you to zoom on sites that disable zoom, but it breaks this website.

Mobile users should remove old from the url [0]. The old Reddit website does not load properly on my mobile device.

Edit: commenters below made me realize that my extension StopTheMadness messed up old Reddit. Sorry

I think it shows that there is a persistent dislike of yaml. I would like to read about the history of why yaml became so popular, despite all its flaws.

I dislike being forced into any Meta account whatsoever, and I would’ve purchased a Valve Index, but I did get the headset for free in a giveaway.

I’m designing a new phishing campaign that sends a pre-email telling the user they’re getting a legitimate email with <subject> then sending the phishing test email with that subject.

My company does this too by the way. Usually for external things like surveys they send a pre-email.

Why did you have to switch to a Facebook account?

I was gifted a Meta Quest 3S, and I was forced to make a Meta account, but I didn’t have to make a Facebook account.

At this time should we just consider all of npm unsafe for installing new packages? Installing a single package could install hundreds of transient dependencies.

Yes.

I’m not sure why. Because they’re usually at salaries that you wouldn’t accept. Like paying 30% below market rate.

There was/is? A mod called “Shut Up Bradford” to make him stop talking.

Ahh ok so on an average year you do make a substantial amount.

Below 200? And here I thought I’d at least make a pretty penny if I left my comfortable job for a tech company

I have found that it is useful for specific tasks but those tasks aren’t necessarily time savers. For instance, asking it to rephrase a sentence doesn’t really save me time, but it does give me some alternative phrasing that I might not have thought of.

It is particularly good, as most AI is, at text summary. Whether that is summarizing what I’ve missed in a meeting, action items, or even finding a needle in a large haystack of a document.

On the other hand, I find it wholly lacking in the search/discovery of documents in SharePoint and surfacing important emails. There is no way for me to tell it that “such and such executive call” has no importance to me, or that “help please” is the most important email in my inbox.

Yeah I hate Microsoft as much as the next guy but every product has security vulnerabilities. If the product is popular enough, then hackers spend time discovering those vulnerabilities.

I’m a huge Sig fan, I think they build a quality firearm. But I am not so blind to see they’ve made an insane mistake here. Recalling all P320s would’ve been better than this disaster.

I use GitLab daily and feel like it’s a joy to use. What do you dislike?

I’m just sitting here on my $20 subscription hoping one day we will get to use Opus

No because _you_ are in control. Not the AI.
