I guess it was still getting updated. All peripherals are available in USB-C versions for me now.

Copilot is branding, not a product or feature. Problem is that the features/products that run under that branding don't have proper names themselves and I guess that's what trips up a lot of people.

What kind of stuff are you doing that you need many CSS/JS hacks nowadays?

From which point on? After login? I guess a fair comparison would need the exact same reference point before the OS is involved, e.g. once post is done or you pressed the power button.

DeepL is an AI-backed translator. If I use it to help me write my documentation, how is it different?

That's precisely my point. What does "AI-backed" mean exactly? The RFC doesn't ban LLM, but "AI-backed" contributions. Technically from my understanding and interpretation DeepL would fall under that category and would be banned from being used but in the linked thread people seem to agree that DeepL usage is fine. So where do you draw the line? How do you define which "AI-backed" contributions are still fine and which aren't. Eventually different contributors will have different opinions and it will get messy.

But DeepL is fine apparently (as it should be in my opinion) so I guess this is going to be a random dice roll what maintainers will allow or not.

I can understand the sentiment behind this proposal, but it is way too nuanced and complicated to just solve it with a few basic rules.

Why would a college student be an interesting target simply for being a college student in an interesting field? If they work at an interesting company or something like that I would understand, but the knowledge that is accessible in colleges is not some super secret stuff or am I missing something?

That's the message they got in summer 2023 when iOS 16.6 was the most recent one.

Maybe my thinking is a bit naive, but I would assume that the message signals that Apple found a new way to identify (and therefore maybe neutralize) Pegasus which is probably at least a medium annoyance to them.

That person already got targeted last summer. I doubt they are as uninteresting as they believe/claim to be.

If someone is interested how the message actually looks like, a user on reddit posted it and a previous version from 2023 (although it doesn't include everything): https://www.reddit.com/r/iphone/comments/1c10jai/i_have_rece...

They have to formally inform you about that in advance and have valid reason to do so in Germany.

It becoming a Facebook group on steroids is my biggest issue with Discord. So much knowledge, information and documentation is lost in an unindexed proprietary black hole. It‘s a chat that people started to abuse for all kinds of things just because it can be done. Often time normal forums would be more beneficial for everyone involved.

Also I host my own TS server since 2019 and never had to deal with any real problems.

How would my landlord know what I do in my home?

> Funny how greens are against nuclear energy but don't mind if the air smells horribly from smoking.

I don‘t see what those things have to do with each other?

But besides that, smoking cannabis is prohibited in most public places, even when smoking tobacco would be allowed.

That is rather naive thinking. Making up a misleading identity is probably one of the first things someone with such a long term plan would do.

If they leave the EU market, Android immediately becomes a much bigger focus for every app developer which can have an effect on the quality of apps available on the app store around the world.

> Sonos takes it to a whole new level by having a UI so poor that it sometimes leaves me not even wanting to listen anymore.

Just never use the Sonos app if you are a Spotify user. Spotify Connect is their single most important feature for me. The only reason to open the Sonos app is to re-group speakers and that‘s basically a shortcut from the Spotify app anyway.

I don't necessarily need 4k Blu-ray quality myself but DVD quality is unbearable in my opinion.

Don't they all use the same kernel?

But that only works if you stick to old majors. At this point Sonoma is out for almost 6 months, so even if you waited a few months to upgrade to Sonoma you are out of luck now. You are either stuck on 14.3 without security fixes or you upgrade to 14.4.

> News like these are the major reason why I apply updates only after long periods of waiting if anything blows up for others.

But then you are accepting that you are running an exploitable OS since you are lacking the latest security fixes. Not sure if that‘s an acceptable tradeoff.

It is different. The cross-site navigation flag is a couple of years old. It was enabled by default for iOS in November 2018 for example https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/commit/e191fc8c412850cb9fd0...

I also checked on my iPhone which I just upgraded to 17.1 and the flag is present and already enabled there as well.

Edit: Seems like I got confused by the other very similar feature flag as well.

I added reddit.com to my ad blocker and the amount of times I saw the message that the site is blocked is embarrassing high. Really highlighted to me how opening up reddit is basically muscle memory.

I don‘t remember most of the things I‘ve read on reddit but I definitely remember the games, books, music and shows I discovered through reddit. Or that it helped me to keep up to date when covid appeared. Or how I kept up with the developments in the Ukraine last year. While lots of reddit browsing is time wasting, it also enabled a lot of discovery for me that I didn‘t get elsewhere so far.

> If something loses me 20M$ per year and I have an option to buy it for 10M$ or kill it for 0$, I would choose the latter without much thinking.

Weren’t the $20M reddit claimed they are losing, missed opportunity costs? I.e. if Apollo users wouldn‘t use Apollo but the official app, they would make that amount of money off of them. So buying that amount of revenue for $10M sounds definitely reasonable to me. If what reddit claims would be truthful that would be a guaranteed 100% ROI.

This is false. I only browse reddit in the browser version on my phone. It annoys you all the time to install their app, but you can read and post perfectly fine.

> we don’t know when you run into trouble unless you tell us.

This is almost comical. Whenever I report issues, it takes them months to fix them. And sometimes those weren‘t some small edge case problems. One was that non US keyboard users were unable to use special characters in their shortcuts. If they don‘t have the time and resources to fix such problems in a reasonable time frame, what do they think they‘ll gain out of telemetry data? Do they need verification that people use shortcuts before allocating resources?
