  Reddit moment.

  His post is full of FUD.

  Macos. Can’t any of read a few words?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How are the blatant anti-competitive practices of Apple just…allowed? How is this even possible?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes but OP is trolling in easy mode and forgot a lot of details.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How are the blatant anti-competitive practices of Apple just…allowed? How is this even possible?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You have to use WebKit on macOS

  This is a lie. Aren’t you ashamed of yourself?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How are the blatant anti-competitive practices of Apple just…allowed? How is this even possible?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t use iOS anymore but users don’t complain about the walled garden, or they would buy an Android. They want their phone to work reliably like a washing machine with a few buttons, and it’s an acceptable personal choice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How are the blatant anti-competitive practices of Apple just…allowed? How is this even possible?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s false. macOS is a Unix system with a lot of compilers. You can also write applications with React or Kotlin for iOS.

  Last but not least, they are not a monopoly, they make money with expensive phones. You’re free to buy another brand.

  I also design medical devices. You are protected from all the laws and regulations (Hello 62304!!!) that prevent companies from selling random crap to hospitals.

  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_time_pad

  XOR may be the only encryption system that cannot be cracked. The length of the key is a PITA though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Twitter, the web site that is broken if you don’t have a web site? That’s seriously fucked up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do people insist on not answering ALL the questions in an email or text message?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I can confirm that it doesn’t work at all. My advice is to send one question per email, or one chat message per question. It’s better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ben Starr recieves Balatro's BAFTA award in a clown costume⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But it lacks the main feature of a casino: taking people’s money.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Best ‘simple’ budgeting app⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I used to do it on the phone with YNAB, but now it’s only 2 or 3 minutes on my computer in the evening.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Best ‘simple’ budgeting app⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I never use connections to my bank so I wouldn’t know if the feature even exists, sorry. But the whole thing was a paid application that went open-source. I download the “app image” thing because it’s easier for me, but you have alternatives (desktop or web client).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Best ‘simple’ budgeting app⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The old one was better because it had no fucking subscription, and also you could reconcile future transactions which was way better for monthly stuff. For example, at the end of the month (30, 31), you have received your salary but you want to reconcile it NOW for the next month (one or two days in the future) so that you can work on your future budget right now. You can’t do that with the new YNAB.

  I would put broken commits with a message saying it comes from the LLMs, then revert the whole stuff in another commit to fix the crap.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is this picture idea immature?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  +1 for doing it. Have fun!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Best ‘simple’ budgeting app⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Try actualbudget.org It’s like the old YNAB. You can self host or use the desktop version.

  I had a great time with my Switch. The Steam Deck is now the only device I would buy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨iPhones were already losing ground in China. Then came Trump’s tariffs: Consumers ditch Apple for more advanced features and to support Chinese brands.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I hope Tim Apple got at least a small hard on while licking Trump’s shoes. That would be unfair for a $million.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump cuts funding to FOSS projects.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why would he fund communism in the first place? (/s before you try to hit me with that downvote button).

  Can you give some examples that I unknowingly use and improves my life?

  malvertising and misinformation

  You pretty much described most ads. What is the difference?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mozilla's new open-source Gmail alternative puts your privacy first⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Free doesn’t expire IIRC but it has almost no feature. You can try it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mozilla's new open-source Gmail alternative puts your privacy first⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s good because I don’t think I subscribe to any service at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mozilla's new open-source Gmail alternative puts your privacy first⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll wait for the source code first. Mozilla is famous for pushing a lot of crap.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EU: These are scary times – let's backdoor encryption!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I almost forgot the monthly “let’s make encryption illegal” from the EU.

  Implementation is easy. It requires respect for human beings though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mozilla's new open-source Gmail alternative puts your privacy first⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Data is sent to NVIDIA, you don’t and can’t know what is done about it. That’s the same for any AI usage that is not local, and most people don’t have the skills to do that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mozilla's new open-source Gmail alternative puts your privacy first⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  will never use your email to train AI, flood your inbox with ads, or collect and sell your data

  Like Firefox, it’s good to know. /s

  which injects AI features into the service

  A contradiction in the same piece of news.
