There was a good book[0] about where that came from. Big business and religious leaders joined forced to fight the New Deal.

See also perhaps Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation by Kristin Kobes Du Mez:

> The book examines white evangelical affinity for Donald Trump. Du Mez explains that white evangelical support for Donald Trump during the 2016 United States presidential election was a continuing trend rather than an exception. The book focuses on the militant masculinity that white evangelicals idealize and how it has manifested in a pattern of abuse among evangelical leaders. Du Mez criticizes mainstream evangelicals such as John Eldredge, John Piper, and James Dobson for advancing the evangelical ideal of militant masculinity.[4]

The Christianity that is often in the news in the US is of a particular variety.


> Snow Leopard was incredibly buggy on release

Finder has always been pretty garbage. Which view will the finder show this folder in? I never know, because it's always inconsistent.

Another bug, I'd been running the beta macos Sequoia 15.7.4, and if I'd search for all the e.g. PDFs in my ~/Downloads, then move them to the trash, they'd still show up in the search, but if you clicked on them, the filepath would show trash.

I doubt they will, but I hope they keep updating sequoia with security fixes for a while longer.


FTFF has been a mantra since … the first release of Mac OS X?

I just had to add more, because I remember they used DEC Alpha systems at some point.

" Alphas for design stations serving 5 animators and one animation assistant (housekeeping and slate specialist). Most of these stations run Lightwave and a couple add Softimage. VERY plug-in hungry. PVR's on every station, with calibrated component NTSC (darn it, I hates ntsc) right beside.

P6's in quad enclosures for part of the renderstack, and Alphas for the rest, backed up 2x per day to an optical jukebox.

Completed shots output to a DDR post rendering and get integrated into the show.

Shots to composite go to the Macs running After Effects, or the SGI running Flint, depending on the type of comp being done, and then to the DDR (8 minutes capacity on the SGI)."[0]

Doesn't look like it. It looks like it's only iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone XR

I like the design of that generation of Sun Servers. Also, for some reason it bothers me that it's titled SPARC not UltraSPARC :)

This has been policy for years. I just can't make myself upgrade to Tahoe.

"Because of dependency on architecture and system changes to any current version of Apple operating systems (for example, macOS 26, iOS 26, and so on), not all known security issues are addressed in previous versions (for example, macOS 15, iOS 18, and so on)."

The explanation doesn't make much sense here, as the patches exist, they are simply being made available only for the subset of devices. Some of the listed vulnerabilities aren't even in the OS itself, but in the apps like Books, Mail and Messages.

I agree with you, and with the OP title, Apple is withholding updates in this (and other cases).

The little blurb I quoted is sort of an excuse for some other updates.


I am not blaming you or the Ars article for Apple's stance on this issue. Just feeling a little frustrated about the whole situation.


Not The Onion.

It's worse, because I think that Karp might actually believe that.


There are a ton of old ads / brochures at 1000bit[0]. It's interesting to see stuff from when I was a kid / teen.
