I have stopped using booking.com and a few other sites like this because of similar issues. The last time I went thru them they have used an incorrect name on the reservation and it took weeks of phone calls to get the hotel to refund the reservation. I was in a position where I either got a refund and rebooked or showed up and was turned away. It sucked. Never again.

I’m at 3 on most days. 4 once a week. 3 plus an injection once a week. I have other pills that are optional.

I’m seeing layoffs of US workers, who are then being replaced by Indian, South American and Ireland nationals… not AI. But they’re calling it AI.

What would qualify as a “high yield” savings account or money market in your book? High yield savings accounts unfortunately adjust to market interest rates.

I know an earworm typically consists of a song, but what is really plaguing me is those laugh tracks people add to reels because my wife watches them 6 hours a day.

My bosses and their decisions.

Same, and when I catch myself doing that, I wonder why I do it, then move on with life and do it again later.

I dunno man. I got nothing. I don't understand it either.

My father and stepmother were full tilt into this quackery. Today they don't talk about it as much, but they do talk about politics an awful lot. I'll let you figure out where they fall on the political spectrum.

I have a friend who is self-employed. He uses an iPhone and a MacBook Air. He only uses iMessage, Numbers, Safari and Apple Music for entertainment. He gets away with 8gb just fine and rarely has to reboot.

He probably could use a Chromebook or something even lighter, but the support and ecosystem were enough for him to pay the premium. His time is valuable to him so it was worth it to him.

Accurate.

What is the obsession with shitting on people's choices? I don't understand the irony of demanding choice in this industry, then shitting on people when they make a choice you don't agree with.

1Blocker has been the best for me, as it works with all of the Apple devices and syncs across them. Another option is to enable reader mode by default on all websites, so instead of getting the site with all of the ads, you'll get a reader view without the ads and distractions.

I actually like Apple’s approach to AI more than all of the others. I don’t care for Microsoft’s implementation at all. I just try to avoid Microsoft in general on top of that, so no need to complain about it.

But I do think Apple’s approach to AI from a privacy and implementation perspective is what I would prefer from a software vendor.

According to WWDC info released today, Apple is working on some LSP packages for Swift that can make coding with Vscode possible.

Thanks

I wholeheartedly disagree with you. I am so confused. Do I upvote or downvote?

We decided not to stress, finish the citizenship later this year, and enjoy some time in Hawaii.

Oof. Considering his ex-presidential behavior in addition to his behavior while in office, this seems like something he would do.
