Hopefully somebody can give you a better answer, but being a native speaker, I’ve never really thought about it. I can’t say anything comes to me as obviously explaining the genders of different words.
I think this is a good thing regardless of how you feel about the Gaza conflict. We should never be in the business of sending people back to an active war zone or famine, whether it’s Gaza, Ukraine, Syria, or anywhere else.
I’m really enjoying mine so far for a few specific use cases, like watching movies while lying down in bed, and as a giant, private display to surf the web and such while on trains and flights. I think it shows a lot of promise but I can’t blame anyone for not finding $4,000 of value in it today. I bet the third or fourth generation is going to kick ass, though.
Hopeful but doubtful. It would be great if he successfully tackles inflation but many doubts persist about the sincerity of his commitment to democracy.
Articles like this are so disingenuous. UK news has been reporting things like this for several years now, always trying to make it sound like it’s us mean old continental Europeans who are forcing our evil rules on the poor blameless Britons. As opposed to being the exact thing they themselves voted for. Hello and fuck you from sunny Portugal, dear Brexit voters!

I mean, this is basically malicious compliance. They did everything in their power to follow the letter but eschew the spirit of the law. Let’s hope the EU has teeth and keeps applying pressure.
I mean, I’ll take a stab at speaking for Apple fans, and in fact developers. (I’m an ex-employee.)
There are a lot of things we like about the user experience on their platforms, and we appreciate their general interest in privacy while not engaging in the dirty data mining / advertising business of Google and Microsoft. There is a polish on their platforms that is best in class.
But I don’t believe any of us actually support the App Store lockdown situation. It’s probably the biggest black mark on their record. I think they got it right on macOS, requiring the binaries to be notarised (signed digitally) in such a way that malware can be blacklisted. This is a useful security feature. But developers are free to distribute however they want and third party stores like SetApp and Steam coexist happily with the App Store.
100% of their arguments about keeping the App Store as the sole distribution chain are bullshit because macOS is the proof. It’s pure rent-seeking behaviour.
The criteria for the original comment was not “which is the best browser” but rather “which browsers aren’t adware”. As Apple doesn’t monetise user data the way Google and Microsoft do, it belongs on the short list with Firefox. Is Firefox better? Yes.
This is probably inevitable now that Turkey gave in. With two obstructionists they could point at each other, but once you’re the last one still blocking, you’re singled out as the asshole.
Only $5000? Dude got lucky. Fuck American healthcare.
