It's fraud involving a large sum of money.

Cool, not a feature I personally want and behind a higher priced tier than I pay for now. That seems entirely reasonable for both Kagi and for me.

Sure, you're clearly the expert. If we're measuring experience based on the age of ancient software then I guess you win because I only started with RedHat 5.1 from a CD.

But in 2024 you clearly are still the true expert and arbiter of what constitutes a working desktop OS. I mean I only use Linux on a desktop and a laptop every single day, so I probably don't really get it.

But truly, Linux gives me significantly less "broken in weird ways" issues, as you say, in daily use than Windows 10 does on the same hardware. Both sometimes do stupid things, and both sometimes require stupid incantations when things go wrong (please don't pretend windows doesn't, because it absolutely does).

It's today. I encourage you to actually try it rather than repeat an old trope.

A seemingly nonsense statement as a headline, a limited preview that doesn't address the nonsense statement, and "sign in to read".

Using the archive link provided in these comments shows that the rest is just "the MacBook Air is just too good why would you buy the Pro" as if that's a problem. The MacBook Air is the right computer for a lot more people than the MacBook Pro and that's been the case for years. There's no there there, as they say.

If you don't want your article to sound useless and generic and way too long for the detail in the content, then don't let an LLM do so much of the heavy lifting. And leave out all the unsubstantiated speculation, it's not helpful.

So the readme is blank, there's no description of whether it's just wrapping the web apps or if it's something else, it's installed via Snap, and the issue tracker link on the Snap store uses a link shortener? I can't think of a single reason to even touch this.

Looking at the source, it appears to just be a set of webview wrappers to the iCloud website. I can visit the website just fine on my own, thanks.

Site is nearly unreadable on an iPhone or Firefox on Windows, showing up with a dark background and dark text. Something broken in the CSS?

What an excellent idea. I'd even go so far as to call for a nationwide ban.

I walk to work and some days I feel it may be the most dangerous thing I do. It's certainly the most dangerous part of an ordinary day. Drivers turning right often do not stop at all. When they do stop, they often drive straight through the crosswalk before stopping. As far as I can tell the average driver does not even look for pedestrians.

A small inconvenience of having to wait for a green light to turn puts the right turn on equal footing with going straight. If you can wait to go straight, you can wait to change direction.

If it's the right machine for you at the right time you should buy it. If it's not there's no harm in waiting. I don't know what this post is supposed to be about.

It's mostly some benchmark summaries and notes that the older ARM Macs are still good. Yes they are, so buy the right computer for you.

I think you misunderstand how this works...

We've had this for quite a while in Colorado, both through the myColorado app and in Apple Wallet, and I still can't figure out what it's useful for. I have it set up and am fine with it existing, I just don't know where or when I'd use it.

Yet it's one of the top questions on their announcement page and they won't clearly answer it.

If this matters to you it's far more productive to stop using Chrome.

Schmidt said: "Google decided that work-life balance and going home early and working from home was more important than winning. The reason startups work is because the people work like hell."

Which is complete bullshit of course.

And his so-called apology is equally bullshit: "I misspoke about Google and their work hours. I regret my error."

The article goes on to say "Schmidt said he asked for the video to be taken down."

Don't dish it out if you can't take it, asshole.

Patreon is a web site. It shouldn't even have an app.

Dancing around the "so it's not open source" by not clearly saying "correct, it's no longer open source".

"CockroachDB will remain source available under a new license" sounds correct but it's still sidestepping the question. And "the source code will still be available for viewing and contributions" is completely shit. Why would anyone contribute to a commercial product unless they're getting paid to do so.

Also, the use of this kind of "evolving our" and "advancing our" phrasing is so incredibly gross. No one speaks like this except in corporate announcements.

This is not how you do it.

Yes it says they are probably good people.

This is a great feature that apps like Sublime, Notepad++, and BBEdit have and I admit to abusing it for years. Would be great if they add something like this.

But also I've realized I get better use of tools built for this kind of use. Basically tools that save your notes automatically all the time. At some point if some important notes are in Untitled 5 for nearly a decade then philosophically they deserve a title and a place in your file system. And probably a backup.

When you post on HN, you also do the following, right?

- Build a straw man argument

- Act like all threat models are the same (distributed vs. centralized password store, for example).

This is an advertisement.

Google's former CEO demonstrating again how billionaires are useless and out of touch.

Bullshit.

I saw this was based on Firefox, which is interesting, and downloaded the AppImage to at least look at it. Initial questions:

- Why does this launch full screen initially?

- Why doesn't the light or dark theme selection include an option to follow the system settings? (Or does it and it's just not obvious?)

- Why is the search engine list on first run a weird (and kind of stupid) list of Google, DuckDuckGo, eBay (excuse me?), and Wikipedia? Seriously if you're telling me about this as a privacy focused browser (and your privacy policy seems relatively clear there) why is Google first on the list. Or on the list at all? And why two items that aren't even general purpose search engines?

The web page isn't clear so what is are the goals of this that would differentiate from upstream Firefox? Vertical tabs? I don't even want them. A sidebar? Same story.

Useful discussion, but I take issue with this statement: "Linux still has problems with "fractional" scaling modes like 125 percent and 150 percent, which was what the old Framework screen usually looked best at."

Gnome on Wayland may still require weird workarounds because Gnome is written by people who hate their users, but on Plasma desktop partial scaling just works, including different scale factors between different screens.

You may wish to work on your reading comprehension. "Does not have multiband GNSS" is not the same as "no GPS", and the watch specifications clearly state is supports the GPS, Galileo, and Glonass satellites.

No one wants Google to come in and ruin Garmin the way they ruined fitbit.

Build better URLS and skip the need for this in the first place. Problem solved.

I'm curious to see what the AMD mainboard and the newer Intel boards are like, but with Linux 6.10 on an 11th-gen Intel Framework 13 battery life is 4-5 hours and sleep drains the battery completely in 1-2 days even after switching from s2idle to deep sleep. I have not tried setting up hibernation.

The trackpad is pretty good, hardware support is excellent. It boots so fast (about 20 seconds to Plasma desktop) that my solution for the shit sleep behavior is to just shut it down when I remember to.

My use is a mix (about 50/50) of laptop use, typically plugged in, and desktop use with a 4k monitor and Dell USB-C dock.

Build quality (robustness, general feeling of rigidity, quality) is lacking compared to a MacBook (pro or air).
