See that was my first thought. But I hear this in my daily life as well- some people are using agents for everything. I know one person who went all in on Meta Muse and gets texts for everything he cares about - even unprompted...I don't believe that "chat" in general is the best interface for everything but it is powerful...
Well sometimes they do. Plus if another country is regulating or doing something to a company from your country I think it’s fair to have an opinion about it.
Plus a number of folks use the universality of their preferred politics when another country does something they like or don’t like. “International law”, “rules-based order”, those sorts of things. It’s pretty common to see.
Yes, you're right. I use MacBook's keyboard and trackpad while it's connected to an external display. As a “one display only” guy, having two turned on is not ideal.
All the Apple marketing sure does a heavy lifting, because even comparing with a 5+ years old iPhone camera, the new one isn't noticeably better. Take any 1" sensor proper camera and it's so, so much better than the iPhone's…
Of course. At a certain point, it's just physics. There is only going to be so much you can get out of such a tiny sensor and lens. Software can only do so much without turning it into an AI photo.
Even just carrying around a small Micro 4/3 camera gets you 3x the sensor surface area of a smartphone. An APS-C Fujifilm like an x100V gets you 5.2x the sensor surface and is still mostly "pocketable" (in a bag).
What the iPhone has effectively replaced though are the old point and shoot digicams, which now have smaller sensors than the iPhone.
One of the things which for me is always going to be important is: "The best camera is the one you always have with you"
In recent times I have travelled some insanely hot places. And every extra thing that you carry with you feels like such a burden. But the phone you always have with you.
AFAIK, in the US it's fine (as in legal) if only one of the two people talking is aware that the conversation is being recorded. Which is different from what Siri AI does — it transcripts the audio, only. No idea how it this will be accepted as proof.
The unfortunate part is that he became someone you’re happy to see out. I think he’s absolutely become a net negative for Wordpress, but that wasn’t always the case.
Exactly. I am very thankful for the experiences and community that WordPress has given me that I seriously consider that maybe Matt has been victim of a social engineering attack to make him be perceived as a little bit unstable... kind of like what happened with the xz backdoor attempt.
But, to be honest, I am not too well versed in the drama. IIRC it started because someone was building something on top of WP but was basically reselling something that was already free without contributing back? Maybe I'm mixing things up and I should really hit the sack.
Nevertheless, my concern lies mostly with the overall security of the platform, as I can imagine serious financial interests (and geological ones, too) might take the time to push out someone that knows the platform inside out.
Matt has made like hundreds of bizarre decisions over the last few years. The WPEngine drama is a big part of it, but he's also been odd with Automattic's purchase and handling of Tumblr and other topics.
