I have this post to offer: https://www.tumblr.com/avidcollectorofdust/776146560975339520

“Humans are inherently selfish--" Then why do so many cultures value hospitality, to the point of dictating it in their religions? Why is it so common for hosts to offer their visitors their best food, and as much of it as they can? At some point, multiple cultures decided that they knew what it felt like to be alone and vulnerable, and promised each other to never let those who stay with them feel that way. That doesn't sound very "inherently selfish" to me.

"humans are the plague"

No. Humans are animals as much as the fish and the bear. We are pack animals who have survived by strong bonds and community.

Do not buy the lie that humans are inherently evil. Societies can trick you into believing this, but it's not the truth of humanity.

Humans crave being together, sharing together, and thriving together.

Capitalism just wants you to believe we're destined for selfishness.

Hm, yeah, didn't think about shitrags' willingness to write misleading headlines to generate outrage/clicks.

They could make it completely detached from iCloud instead and allow using some generic API like WebDAV, so it can be used with Nextcloud for example. Plus potential DAV extensions or a new protocol and iOS API (or extend File Provider) if it needs anything specialized (it most likely does).

At this point if the Ai thinks we should be exterminated? I’ve no counter-argument that is based outside of a desire to want to live…

People's right to self-determination over their lives maybe? This is no better than the fascists wanting to kill whatever their "undesirable" minoroty of the day is.

For a macOS-style desktop I recommend Plasma. It won't feel like it out of the box, but you can customize it. I have it set up to have a top panel with app launcher, global menu, tray icons/notifications/time, and a bottom floating panel with all the application icons, downloads and trash like the Mac Dock, window buttons on the left, and a bunch of other tweaks. Keyboard shortcuts I've also all set up to be as far as on the Mac as possible, including correct mapping of the command key, if you care about those.

It's certainly not perfect in terms of how it behaves like macOS but probably about the best you can get with "off the shelf" desktops. (Wish more people cared about a GNUstep desktop tbh)

Not sure about distros, I generally recommend openSuSE to new users. If it or Mint works for your use cases, no idea though.

The server list is still there fwiw. But yeah the matchmaking update was awful.

Nothing they can backdoor when the data (and encryption) is out of their control, is there?

The very funny thing Apple could do in response to this is allow people to self-host iCloud data storage. They do make privacy a huge part of their advertising after all. The chances of this happening are astronomically low though.

I was honestly expecting him to be stuck in prison for a while longer so they could keep mistreating him. I hope he gets cleared of these obviously fabricated charges.

Swift is pretty close. I've been trying it out recently after writing years of Rust and it's been great so far (and pretty much completely eliminates the big tooling complaints I have about Rust...).

It’s slow but stagnation is a disingenuous way of putting it. https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html

NAT brings no security, especially in this scenario. If you want to prevent malicious software from opening ports, you use a public facing firewall on your gateway. Which you should have for IPv4 as well.

I said it was significant, not that they were having problems.

I’m pretty sure only the yellow bar on the right of that indicator is cache. Green is actually being used by processes.

It’s apparently jumped by almost a third of all of their available RAM. That’s pretty significant.

They made that and it’s called pure functional programming. Take a look at Haskell

I run Postfix, Dovecot and rspamd on my server. The configuration is here: https://git.dblsaiko.net/systems/tree/configurations/polaris

There’s also the Simple NixOS Mailserver project which is an abstraction on top of these and has a few more things. I’ve never used it myself though.

Of course, you also have to set up all the standard email setup like DKIM, DMARC, SPF and so on here.

Gradle is pretty awful actually, I’ve had to deal with it for years when I was writing Java. It’s pretty much the #1 reason I’ve stopped doing anything Java related.

Meson is the well designed option for C family languages. It also has support for Java, Rust, Swift, and a couple other languages. C is the most well supported though I think.

It also has a built-in dependency downloader that respects the system installed packages (and therefore distro packagers).

Yes

How about neither of them should be banned. Fuck this puritan BS

It didn't do well because EA set them up to fail, as they have for years.

Same, but I generally only use all lowercase in IMs/other short form text media (so, not here), and when I’m writing German I do capitalize nouns. I’ve always had auto capitalization off since before I started this too since I’m used to pressing shift on the computer.
