What about Apple? Sorry, I don’t understand what you’re asking.

Sounds like they’re reaching feature parity with Apple and Google. Both already do that so I’m not surprised. I never use Microsoft’s App Store so I’ll never see them.

Some companies don’t deserve to be in business and some executives don’t deserve to get paid. This is crazy.

Any idea how long it usually takes for a new SoC to reach the Airs? Assuming they follow a pattern with each now generation.
Just wondering whether to buy an M3 Air or wait for the M4 version.

Prices have dropped then!

Will the M4 be used in new MacBook Airs, or is that a completely separate SoC? I’m not familiar with Apple’s hardware anymore.

- Comment on "No, seriously. All those things Google couldn't find anymore? Top of the search pile. Queries that generated pages of spam in Google results? Fucking pristine on Kagi – the right answers, over and ov 7 months ago:
Kagi uses Google’s search engine?? I didn’t know that, I thought they’d created their own search engine. If Google blocks Searx, why don’t they block Kagi?
- Comment on Comparison: Coop Cloud, Yunohost, similar platforms 7 months ago:
I don’t think YunoHost uses containers, at least it didn’t the last time I used it. It installs applications natively.
The best part about using containers for self hosting is that you don’t have to locally install dependencies for anything you want to run; they’re all inside the container. So if something doesn’t work, blow away the container and any data it created. Uninstalling a locally installed app can be a pain as you’re left with all the installed dependencies and any configuration that may not have been removed.
Another benefit of containers is that it’s generally easy to update an app to a new version by downloading and running a newer version of the container and maybe running a migration command. Updating a locally installed app means installing newer versions of dependencies before running any migrations.
The upshot is that I personally find containers easier and cleaner to deal with than locally installed apps.

No, this is when Taylor Swift has to fly commercial, the other passengers are forced to fly in the shuttle.
