- Comment on Mexico president slams xenophobia after anti-gentrification protest 1 week ago:
The march came as US President Donald Trump intensifies his crackdown against undocumented immigrants in the United States.
I recently moved to Mexico from Canada 🇨🇦 because of the culture! Nice weather and lower cost of living are both available in many other countries. Mexico has the culture, the arts, the food, the variety that make life here so interesting. Nay; captivating!
Please don’t seek to emulate the degenerating culture to the north. No one likes it! Especially not Mexicans, so many who have enjoyed the opportunities that used to be there. That time is past it seems. Now create those opportunities for people in Mexico! 🇲🇽 - Comment on Windows seemingly lost 400 million users in the past three years — official Microsoft statements show hints of a shrinking user base 2 weeks ago:
I’m way past making a living in tech, and so far (5 months) my MacBook is delivering a very satisfactory user experience. I’m not thrilled with the “radical” changes coming to MacOs, but I don’t have that much invested in the current version to fret over it. So far the biggest controversy about the new OS is how the finder icon swapped colours. I can live with that! I considered and tried some Linux distros over the past few years, but there was too much intervention recruited by me the user. The “Total Recall” vibe of Windows 11 pushed me over the line.

- Comment on Microsoft tells Windows 10 users to just trade in their PC for a newer one, because how hard can it be? 3 months ago:
I’ve never had a pc get to 10 years old before upgrading. I fully expect my MacBook to meet my needs (which don’t include rending animations or editing video) for the rest of my life (I’m 65) OR at least 10 years.

- Comment on Tech's Dumbest Mistake: Why Firing Programmers for AI Will Destroy Everything 5 months ago:
It’s hard for people who haven’t experienced the loss of experts to understand. Not a programmer but I worked in aerospace engineering for 35 years. The drive to transfer value to execs and other stakeholders by reducing the cost of those who literally make that value always ends costing more.
