im_jerry87··on Ask HN: Is Windows That Bad?
so, if you are running macOS, you can't be a power user?

Is that what you are implying here? If so, you can't be more wrong.

Just try disabling auto updates of an application like Spotify or Chrome on both Windows and macOS w/o relying on a thrid party tool and let me know how this seemingly simple task that a so called "power user" might need went for you on Windows compared to macOS.

im_jerry87··on How much can you get out of a $4 VPS?
No way you are getting a dedicated box with 128 GB RAM and 1 TB NVME for just $40. Are you referring to server auction?
im_jerry87··on Swift Achieved Dynamic Linking Where Rust Couldn't (2019)
I didn't read the URL properly and for a second, thought it was Andy Hertzfeld's blog.
im_jerry87··on The horror of trusting Google with your passwords
Me too. But I changed these passwords many weeks ago and I have been using Chrome's auto fill to login ever since until today. I was on-call even yesterday. So, I'm quite positive that it was Chrome. The only difference today was I updated Chrome before trying to log in. That was it.

im_jerry87··on Tell HN: MS forcing Edge shortcut on desktop
Haven't seen any of these pop-ups thrown at my face in 3 years of using macOS. Also, your default choice for browser is respected throughout the system unlike Windows.

Web links in search not respecting my default and opening in Edge is one of most disgusting things I've seen.

im_jerry87··on Adobe Lightroom uses photos for AI training by default
Wow! I thought nothing would surprise me anymore about Adobe. But this is a new low even for them.

This is ripping off artists and accessing unauthorised content of your customers executed at the highest level. Boggles my mind how this is even legal anywhere especially in countries under EU? Like how this is an opt out and not an opt in?

Seems like Content Analysis is turned on by default for the whole creative cloud suite. And, to make it worse, you have to go their site, login to your account and then opt out? Oh boy, I smell a gigantic lawsuit waiting to happen.

im_jerry87··on Lionel Messi Rewrote Soccer History in the Best-Ever World Cup Final
Huh? I get it, you are a tech bro. Me too. But there are no rules like only posts on tech are allowed here.

People posting on various topics and diverse discussions emerging out of them via different point of views are what makes HN interesting. If a topic doesn't interest you, just move on.
