you can create apps for free on apple platforms, just can’t publish without a sub.

google most def supports CCP since their re-entry into china

apple invented webkit and clang/llvm among others

maybe look at things with a more open perspective. google and apple both do good as well as bad; it’s not a competition in terms of who abuses capitalism, the answer is everyone.

it’s not moral to “do what i want” when that involves causing risk and harm to others. vaccination is a numbers game, and you choosing not to be vaxxed is a choice to be sure.

good thing elon is both— he makes crude jokes, likes big-breasted AI women on twitter, and doesn’t hesitate to call out cave-divers, jews, lgbtq people and a host of other stuff.

they’re THE launch provider. have been for a while. most successful and proven rockets. they dont need to go fast and break things; it’s not a startup.

innovation can happen while also considering ideas such as “let’s not put a deluge system and just blow up the pad” — tho i suspect elon has something to do with that

you want your ownership of multiple properties that you dont contribute value to but earn equity in on the backs of renters to be private so you don’t get spam? or is there another reason?

lufthansa elite? MUC/FRA was pretty mid. Polaris SFO was amazing

apple _de facto_ ships software + security updates for many many years, and does so longer than google.

who cares if android has _de jure_ lifetimes, as they are shorter. apple won’t suddenly stop giving any devices updates after 1yr, so it doesnt really matter

this feels like the _weirdest_ thing to call someone a child over. it’s akin to saying “real men don’t use umbrellas”.

totally and absolutely bonkers.

colour is insanely helpful as a _sense_ that can aid our brains in parsing. we aren’t compilers; it’s fine to like colour and not like colour but to say there can be no benefit or, worse, that it’s juvenile is even more childish of a statement.

eh, one thing i’ve learned is smart people in one field are not universally smart, and that’s ok.

as a counterpoint if we’re doing anecdotes:

i had adhd diagnosed as a kid, medicated for a while, then stopped. didnt do great in school, just ok. struggled at uni with timekeeping and grades. made it decently, and then had some decent jobs.

got quite lucky, but always had issues with social skills and being too talkative. eventually got a tough job that needed a lot of personal initative and went back on meds. vyvanse has changed my life, allowed me to focus on my thoughts, keep organised, and not only helped me excel, but also fix my sleep schedule, get promoted, and just generally live like a normal person.

washing dishes by hand are absolutely NOT cleaner and ultimately extremely wasteful in terms of water used.

use a dishwasher from the last 20 years.

not at all the same thing; elon, like all people, is fallible. he's not an engineer and CEO and visionary and project manager and salesperson. he's just a salesperson who likes engineering and didn't finish his college degree.

as you can already see, aligning with conservative fascists on twitter/X isn't really doubt free. also he doesn't design starlink, thousands of engineers do.

firstly, he said social change, not positive change secondly, why not champion the _potential_ for tools like twitter to act to release all of that energy -- just because arab spring didn't turn out as positive as people hoped, doesn't mean that that arab spring ii won't.

sure, all clouds are other people’s computers; laypeople just want things to work and don’t really care about whose root of trust they use.

living in a world where you run everything yourself sounds good in practice but then you can’t communicate with anyone else.

i’d like for the firmware to be open source and for the cloud to be federated, but it’s a pipe dream and i’m busy so i just gotta trust apple in the end

except apple now has e2ee for iCloud, and apple still doesnt want others to get into their firmware and secure enclaves

what’s with the jab about SV “senior”? where i am, senior engineers are properly senior. and nobody even knows what levels and titles people have. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

really? my phone is useful as a tool to: communicate with friends and family, do work via writing, reading, checking metrics, watching videos, and 10000 other things.

and i live in vim on a computer. this tech-centric “i need a terminal and full access to the shell for it to have any worth” is pretty juvenile. phones are real tools for millions of people— the greatest technological innovation of the century.

i’ve never heard someone say that it’s a human right to run a webserver.

i understand that you want to own the stack on your tech, and i would argue that if custom OSes were allowed, that fulfils that need. it’s not apple or google’s responsibility to let you do anything with their OS, in the same vein that you often are limited by stock router firmware or what’s on your ps5.

as phones are hyper-personal it makes sense people want more control, but most average users do not. and as someone who works closely with smartphone tech, i want it to just work and i don’t want to worry about whatever nonsense is enabled by disabling security or os-level by guarantees.

just get a fairphone or whatever. it’s not a human right to force tech companies to embrace your vision of computing

several countries in asia have done this for decades— it’s basic safety and politeness

this sort of attitude is one of the reasons people look at america with disdain. the rest of the world, yes even china, yes even somalia, have culture, history, and knowledge to offer.

it’s never appropriate to think one cannot learn from others or try new experiences

i actually agree with this sentiment quite strongly. part of the reason gender identity and dysphoria, queerness, and fluid gender roles are so despised by conservatives and religious fellows, especially when it comes to masculinity, is that it threatens the dominant power structure of the last few thousand years.

sex work, and women’s empowerment is especially looked down upon. what else is labour but selling your body, yet somehow a woman is a slut to be shamed, and simultaneously the object of sexual desire.

men need these latent structured in place to remain a) powerful and b) keep their sense of worth and identity.

why else is being gay or “throwing like a girl” insults every western boy heard in the 90s?

i very much doubt the hyperbole here. i’m _very_ acab, and hugely against domestic overreach, but to call it soviet union style is pretty ridiculous, and belittles the actual horrors of the stalinist regime

i’m not surprised this happened. with @x, it sort-of makes sense. but to randomly pull handles the company wants like this is a bit beyond the pale of fostering a friendly community.

there’s no issue to fix.

some people are born with different neurochemistry, and are happier to live as a man or a woman. who cares?

i know it threatens the patriarchical masculine worldview, but it doesn’t hurt anyone in reality.

this is why apple spent time and effort on an area where most carriers and manufacturers do not. eSIM on iPhone are instantly transferrable, reconnectable, and available on setup of any logged in device.

CERN / Switzerland would like a word

i dont think this sort of hate speech is appropriate for HN.

if there’s one thing that isnt needed here, or on Threads, it’s willful hatred and anger at others’ existence.

not all men have xy-chromosomes and not all xy-chromosome bearing people are men. it’s really simple, tbh

i only ever want CarPlay. i want my own apps that i already have, my own settings, integration into my calendar without leaking data to some random third party.

on my smart tv i use apple tv, and never their own ui. i trust apple for privacy and dont want to log in or configure 20 apps on my car. i want my iPhone and its features, period.

one thing i really dislike is the disingenuous nature of calling NACS a standard because one wills it to be so.

it’s definitely more compact with thinner cables, and since CCS1 and CCS2 are different, it’s almost a half dozen of one situation.

i just bought a CCS vehicle and am fine with NACS with adapters or whatever, but i do hope that manufacturers can still provide locking mechanisms. my biggest gripe with tesla is that you can simpy unplug someone else’s car.

what a coincidence, just been going thrubour grafana dashboards and setting heatmaps to at least perceptually uniform colour maps. this is great
