@BenRiceM@mastodon.social it’s not even “work”. It’s the most simple action you can take that says: I don’t support bigots and hateful rethoric. But no. “But I like this” takes over and people don’t care. All talk, not even the smallest bit of “walk”

@siracusa@mastodon.social it’s so ugly and jarring. Look the current VLC icon on Tahoe.. it’s a travesty!

@dimillian @schb sure, but Altman is donating to trump and their models are being used by the pentagon. It’s political

@nikitonsky @siracusa you thought electron was bad, welcome to vibe coded everything

@annika@xoxo.zone @siracusa@mastodon.social an audible “nooo” came out of me

@markgurman@mastodon.social @stroughtonsmith@mastodon.social

@stephenrobles@mastodon.social @caseyliss@mastodon.social also the pricing is 👌. 10 euros a year to not deal with IMDB was worth it to my mom, and she rarely subscribes to apps.

@nikitonsky @siracusa thank you. I’m sick of people saying Tahoe isn’t bad and “you just have to get used to it”. No it’s bad. As a user, I don’t care what framework is being used or whatever is causing that slow rendering etc. I care about the user experience. Which currently is bad.

@stroughtonsmith@mastodon.social @gruber@mastodon.social so much cleaner love it

@BenRiceM@mastodon.social but they also block all the scam apps right? …right?? (Or a very popular app that was filled by csam for that matter)

@schb@mastodon.social @dimillian@mastodon.social a nice salary makes you forget about the trump donations real fast I guess

@FeloniousPunk @siracusa major difference: although there were some terrible people in charge, non were as unpredictable and just plain insane as the current one is

@marcoarment@mastodon.social @stroughtonsmith@mastodon.social SwiftUI is the only thing that clicked for me after years of trying and failing with UIkit. I hope Apple “finishes” it feature wise.

@marcoarment@mastodon.social i never knew about the party

@NetNewsWire@indieweb.social @brentsimmons@indieweb.social “made the app use less memory” Thanks for caring about this stuff instead of just shipping a 130 MB framework

@stroughtonsmith@mastodon.social it’s just so isolating.. I can’t imagine using it for more than a demo

@AshtonDev @marcoarment adding the formally free Pages, Keynote and Number was just a pure anti consumer, penny pinching move.

@atpfm@mastodon.social photo caption was unexpected but correct

@siracusa no need for such harsh truths on this fine day.

@jsnell@zeppelin.flights @marcoarment@mastodon.social @caseyliss@mastodon.social the UI is bad AND the OS is so bad that it reloads the app half a second after you’ve opened it.

@parkerortolani@mastodon.social @jsnell@zeppelin.flights 2026: we are richer than god but we still want more

@siracusa So glad she is back and doing better!

@marcoarment@mastodon.social .. but Java edition is the proper version anyway🙂

@fds@mastodon.social @marcoarment@mastodon.social all we want is proper on device models but we got image playgrounds😂

@siracusa it’s a shame. There is no reason to have an X account these days

@brentsimmons your Mac and every old mid western theatre: haunted.

@stroughtonsmith@mastodon.social o no.. 😂

@viticci but… is using anything by OpenAI even remotely moral at this point? Even if you look past all the theft, there is still the pentagon deal, the ties to trump..

@BenRiceM@mastodon.social thank you! It’s algorithms that push us to extreme and hateful content, manipulate us to buy shit we don’t need and vote against our interests. Totally different from a chronological timeline of people you follow

@BenRiceM@mastodon.social protecting children only gets used to take more and more control and privacy away from us. They care about children about as much as they care about marginalized groups: not at all.

@jsnell @marcoarment or: almost no body wants that thing. When I told my friends and family about it they all said: why would I want that. I don’t think it was the marketing. It was the product.

@siracusa@mastodon.social everybody deserves to be themselves. The world is not right until that is possible for all

@2happy1sad@mastodon.social @caseyliss@mastodon.social we had in in the Netherlands a couple of days ago:

@brentsimmons also the massive theft, energy usage and externalities that disproportionately affect the poor.

@siracusa@mastodon.social how many slivers are we at??

@BenRiceM@mastodon.social I hate that I laughed at this

@BenRiceM it has become a thing because of tech enshitification.

@paul@tapbots.social why does an app like that have push notifications?

@marcoarment@mastodon.social propably. End of an era I guess. I get that LLMs are the futures. But it has just killed my interest in tech/programming and I’m actively switching to a different career.

@stroughtonsmith@mastodon.social I do think environmental gains are better spend else where. And maybe it’s not technically stealing, but a few major companies gained billions from everyone else’s stuff. I don’t think that’s ok.

@imyke … is it though? Seems like an obvious deal🤷‍♂️

@stroughtonsmith@mastodon.social stealing photoshop is hardly comparable to stealing like.. all the art out there though. And that is assuming they did steal it, while we know a handful of tech companies stole it all. Just one more brick in the wall of inequality And eating meat is a bit whataboutism no?

@jsnell@zeppelin.flights blink 183, sum 42

@scalzi my brother born in 02 does the same🤷‍♂️

@marcoarment@mastodon.social just make an alias that does them in the right order🙂
