No. We aren’t all subject to this. MAGA isn’t even logically consistent. You don’t even need fact checking to spot the bullshit.

And miss me with the inevitable both sides response.

Weren't they all anti war a few months ago and anti pedo before that?

Not sure what you're talking about. We were always at war with Iran.

This is what prevents me from putting any effort in to shortcuts. I have zero confidence in Apple respecting my time by committing to compatibility or even just not breaking things. The constant feature churn from new PM’s tearing down Chesterton’s fence to make way for their own career ambitions makes Apple user hostile.

Apple doesn’t respect its users with constant changes to iTunes and then Music. My wife is still mad that after redoing her 12,900 songs, and correcting Meta Data, Apple Music said your wrong and changed at least 10% of her music in some way.

Data Gnomes

1) collect data

2) ???

3) profit

It doesn’t have to make sense to be the plan.

Does this also delay delivery of security fixes? Is there an override mechanism for a log4j type event?

It delays everything. You can manually override some packages, but the community can't push through it.

RPM (YUM? DNF? RHEL?) lets me subscribe to security updates separately from updates. Does that concept exist in language distribution?

I don't know how it would. Hackers would just claim everything is a security update.

Unless maybe you give special permission to some trusted company to designate certain releases of packages they don't own are security patches... But that sounds untenable.

It would have to be handled by the repository owner(e.g. PyPI) similar to how quarantines are done.

In the office I have dual 24" monitors. At home I have a single 38" ultrawide. In desktop mode I almost never have one app taking up my full screen. In portable mode yeah, all full screen. The only exception is IDEs which get their own spaces and are basically self-contained tiling window managers anyway.

Does it also exclude researchers?

Only if they keep refusing to pay bug bounties!

TechCrunch misrepresented Apple's statement.

Yep. It's business as usual for that rag.

I don't see any bears around here. Bear patrol must be working like a charm.

Completely off topic. I went solo hiking in Azerbaijan in August of 2022, heading towards some hilltop castle thing I saw on Google Maps. Along the way I met some locals who invited me to join them. We got to the castle around midday and I was preparing to walk back to my car alone, and they all strongly advised against it. They said it was dangerous and invited me to go camping with them, which was pretty fun as they gave me my own tent, food, etc. While at the campground, one guy pulled out his phone to show me pictures of the local wildlife, including a big ol' brown bear. I was too stupid to think about what might eat me out in the woods alone, as I lacked the instinct to check for man-eating predators having grown up in an area where I didn't need to worry about such things.

Anyway, now I think about bears before solo hiking.

Careful, at some companies that kind of talk leads to discontinuing catered lunch.

I would not be working at one of those companies in the first place.
