It’s not just Apple, tablets and laptops have been on a collision course for years. The use cases have started to blur for all manufacturers and software remains the dividing wall. For the iPad to contend with a laptop it has to run macOS and have it’s software available. For the macbook to replace a tablet it should have a touch friendly interface and run all apps from the app store.

The truth is that this is the big headscratcher for all product managers at all big tech manufacturers. It is also the factor that keeps all existing ecosystems fractured. Including Apple’s, though it is perhaps the most well integrated one. The second dividing wall to tore is screen size and input periferals, of course. None of these are easy or trivial problems to solve.

No, you see. One of the requisites of jokes is that they have to be funny. Because I assure you, OC isn’t joking.

Gotta love techno maniacs, suggesting implanting a microchip on your child is somehow a reasonable suggestion. Have people heard of keys? buttons? hell, even Bluetooth tags?

If the kid is old enough to stay at home alone for a few hours, they’re probably old enough to have and operate a key and push a couple of buttons on a touchscreen or tablet.

I know it’s not always that straight forward. But that’s why it’s so important to pick sane defaults, and be very transparent in the documentation.

I am the user base and, despite my best effort, have not yet turned into a liquid. If I kill my project, does it count? Can I be Alphabet now?

If that’s the measure then I’m more productive than all of Google combined. Nowhere in the definition says the project has to work as intended or even compile.

Sure, but that’s an entirely different complaint. I still think this is not the place for that. If you want privacy go to a forum or a discord, or wherever walled garden people like on the Internet to gatekeep communities now (non-derogadory, there’s uses for that kind of places).

Lemmy is already an echo chamber, such rules would make it worse. There’s not ensured volume of interaction yet to grant that either. Limit c/apple_enthusiast and the community collapses in inactivity.

My point is that this is supposed to be community for people who daily drive these Apple operating systems

You want a…private…community on the Fediverse? I’m sorry Sir/Mme, I think you are pretty lost and confused here. Nowhere is it specified that this community is exclusively for iOS users.

Who cares?

What does that have to do with anything? It’s a post about Apple, posted to c/Apple, where people (from wherever) are discussing features of the Apple OS. Shouted’s complaint still makes no fucking sense. If you go to c/Android, where people make posts about Android, you’ll see also plenty of people (from wherever) making all sort of comments, that also include complaints about Android’s upcoming features. It’s the most non-complaint in history. “People are using the website as intended to make fun of my phone! waaahhh!”

Your explanation and the whole comment in general didn’t make me like and understand Apple. It made me understand and fiercely hate Apple products even more.

It’s almost as if this is the c/apple community and not the c/android community, or something.

Why pay for Photoshop when Photopea is free and does what 90% of Photoshop users actually need to do? Also, GIMP has come a long way, it’s more usable than ever and gets better with every new release.

Cue xkcd comic about how we end up with new standards. It’s the same with FOSS projects. Every new stubborn headed dev things they will get it right this time, wasting work instead of contributing and pooling efforts and resources that would get better improvement and quality faster than starting from scratch.

I come from a country that uses artificial mint taste for toothpaste. That’s what I have associated with toothpaste. But I know other countries have other flavors too (like spearmint and such), which taste very different. We also have Malta which is extremely sweet non alcoholic malt beverage. The taste is not strong but I associate it with overly sweet drinks.

I’ve heard it tastes like toothpaste. Never tasted sassafras or zarzaparrilla in my life. What is it like?

At least some minerals cristalyze in cubic structures, so it’s not farfetched that an spontaneous reaction results in a cube.

Nebula, Curiosity, Floatplane. The problem is not the videos, it’s the revenue. Many popular YouTubers, don’t actually make a living out of YouTube. But out of sponsored videos. Many more just live out of Patreon. For example, James Stephanie Sterling intentionally doesn’t monetize the videos and intentionally break different copyrights with different litigious holders to avoid anyone monetizing the video (copyright lockdown). It’s the ones who are way too small to live off of alternatives or don’t fit other platform’s brand that get left out to fend on their own against YTs gargantuan and irrational stranglehold monopoly on the space. There’s simply not a large enough market of users willing to pay, Google made sure to make it that way.

For years YT has waged war against small niche channels. They don’t bring enough ad revenue, unlike the MrBeasts and the Michael Brownlees level channels.

Even the biggest YouTubers don’t make enough money to sustain something as large as YT. And if they wanted to, they would have to give seats and voice to the same type of undesirable stock bros that make Google the enshittified hellhole it is now.

Star Trek is modeled after Naval warfare, “photon torpedoes”, and all. So they have a bridge, which at sea needs to be high and with wide windows to provide the greatest situational awareness and long uninterrupted lines of sight for the officers.

Star Wars is modeled after aerial warfare, thus bombers can “open the bays” to bomb another spaceship in the vacuum of orbital space (god, I hate the new trilogy so much), and spaceships have roaring sounds, and fighters need to roll to turn in space, and their wingtips leave trails in vacuum. So you mostly have cockpits, front and center, like in airplanes. Big ships also have naval influence.

BG, and other franchises like The Expanse, are more realistic that space warfare will probably be more similar to submarine combat. There really isn’t much to see in space at all, so windows are useless in a confrontation. Space is also more likely to involve such enormous distances and complex movement, like when in orbit, that really you depend on a lot of sensors and machines to visualize and keep situational awareness. Much like a submarine, that depends on instruments, sonar and a lot of strategical maneuvering to succeed, and at the same time, the most basic hull breach can mean death for the whole crew.
