Shouldn’t the money be used more efficiently for society’s benefit or not concentrated by the share holders? Share holders will only further their own interests and not society’s interests.

I switched to Lemmy as a result of third party apps being killed.

Not really sure Xcode could be considered stable. Currently on 14.3.1 Xcode frequently crashes when switching branches or running pod install.

Yeah that’s not true in Berlin. There are regular crashes where people race through the city and end up killing people.

This is insane. The disk is a Trojan horse.

I had a 2011 MacBook Pro that I used until end of 2022 when the discrete GPU failed for the second time (first time in 2016 Apple replaced the logic board).

Replaced it with a Thinkpad T480.

I found the mention of most of Google’s code stored in a mono repo to be pretty crazy.

Working less than 100% (40 hours) are common in Germany. My current software dev job and last one are 75%. I’m doing 6 hours per day. I get the same vacation as 100% and salary is 75%. I hope to never have to go back to 100%.

But he is correct in that Apple never implemented the ability to disable the OCSP checks.

If the German government removes the double citizen restrictions like purposed, then you wouldn’t be forced to give up US citizenship.

But is this not a prime example of gatekeeping?

On the flip side with reactive programming it is very easy to just connect up all the data to UI components and have a bunch of unnecessary redraws.

It can encourage a set it and forget it mindset.

In iOS programming, there are many articles about how easy it is to cause too many redraws with SwiftUI, leading to performance issues and a bad UX.

Valve operates quite differently from publicly traded companies that must see infinite growth to appease the investors.

When you can only run one app at a time on iOS, why do you need 8GB of RAM? Outside of high end games or professional editing type apps, this seems hugely overkill for most apps.

I don’t think much innovation happens year to year. At the beginning of iPhone development every other year Apple was releasing an S model of the previous year, which was just improved specs, but no new features. At this point the smartphone has stagnated, with small edge case features being introduced each year.

The yearly updates hardly bring meaningful changes for most people.

We don’t have new gaming consoles every year, with iPhones being just as locked down, we could have new ones coming out every few years.

The UI has definitely gotten shittier and shittier.

Just get a Steam Deck and a USB-C dock. Way cheaper and it can even play real games :)

I think so. The AppStore has a policy against developers using private third party APIs and Apple would remove the app if the company complained. Now the company can’t easily have the apps taken down.

I think they were successful in obsoleting a huge amount of functioning computers, forcing my people to buy new hardware to run Windows 11.

I think the reason is that the 32bit games were first developed as 32bit for Windows. When porting it over to Mac, switching to 64bit would be a big amount of work that wasn’t needed.

Have you tried switching to AppKit?

Seems like the app doesn’t have a huge amount of UI and could be converted in a few months.

Funny that when it is AI generated porn, it is non-consensual, but Copilot and ChatGPT aren’t labeled as producing non-consensual code and text, when they stole the data in the same manner.

It wastes battery when I have no BT devices. It is also a privacy and security threat.

> The guy working overtime hours for bullshit pay would rather the government pay for neither and give a few dollars of his taxes back.

The problem is the person’s employer is allowed to pay too low a wage. That should be the focus rather than the government for wasting their taxes.

I would be more than happy if my tax money could bring joy to these people who normally couldn’t afford these things.

Make better to have the money spent on luxury food items than killing people in foreign countries.

Funny that the article doesn’t call out that the disconnect Bluetooth button in control center is a dark pattern designed to get you to leave Bluetooth on.

I had to create a shortcut to turn off Bluetooth so I don’t have to go through the Settings app.

Apple also re-enables Bluetooth on every iOS update.

My girlfriend has the same problem. She wasn’t able to get through on the hotline and no answer on the email. She went into a ticket office here in Berlin and they told her they can’t do anything about the payment problems and to call the hotline. Total shit show.

The 9€ ticket was amazing and could be purchased without a subscription. Why are they forcing you to have a subscription for the Deutschland ticket?

I didn’t see mention of killing off third party apps.
