  They are doing the Nike mistake - they are targeting users that have already purchased a Mac. Data-driven decisions are great, but this would just result in alienating people who are not already customers, or chase people out who are unhappy with this decision, so their next purchase will not be a Mac.

  I… uh… I know it’s going to be an unpopular opinion, but it makes sense. It’s not intended for daily usage - macs wake up on a keyboard or cursor movement. Sitting on the back increases the chance of accidental presses when you are trying to plug something in.

  You have a very few specific incidents where you would need to press the power button. 80% of their user base will not use the power button after the first initial press.

  I actually read somewhere that this is exactly the case they are making. It’s anti-consumer friendly or some dimwitted bulshit like that

  I would personally scrape it, remove the contact pads and resolder new ones.

  As amazing as this would be, I don’t think I want a Black and White 3 in today’s market. You probably will get 1 type of creature and additional creatures are gonna be a micro transaction.

  Ooooh, we’ve got this notion

  That we’d quite like to sail the ocean

  So we’re building a big boat to leave here for good.

  Well, I vaguely remember watching a documentary about it. They literally start rotting while being alive. Somehow, I don’t need to be either a nutritionist, nor a doctor to assume that flavour, texture, and safe-to-consume are all gonna be a no-no.

  If you wonder where your reply is, I scrolled through a very tiny portion of your comment history.

  I have made a terrible judgment of character. You are not a russian spy.

  Please seek help. I will delete all my other comments. I’m not being sarcastic or passive aggressive. It’s straight up “Please talk to a professional”.

  I don’t mean the current versioning of the web.

  I mean that https, ipv4 and dns servers will be abandoned altogether and everything will be incorporated, no more NGO’s, no more vpn, no more Tor, and FOSS will be exterminated.

  That’s the corporate dream, the cunts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who makes money when AI reads the internet for us?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s much simpler than that. AI is going to continue makingn it worse, until the big tech companies say that they have a solution which will be web2.0 and solves ALL the problems of the legacy net (problems the big tech is causing lol). Then they will have total information control and regulate the net out of the kazoo.

  Imagine visiting a website and “oh oh, apparently you haven’t met the daily quota yet, because you used the toilet. unfortunately your access to the web is restricted.”

  I’m telling you, AI (which is not even real fucking AI) is being pushed to the forefront because big tech fucking knows what’s to come. And then they’ll snatch control with the pretense being “it’s just to fix AI, we swear wink wink”

  There’s also no “f” in that phrase. The whole point is to showcase a font.
