I remember when a JetBrains dev advocate here told me that they’re just trying to be helpful by enabling their built-in code completion model by default. I disabled it.

After installing Rider 2026.1, it reset to enabled. Thank you for knowingly ignoring my preference, I feel so very convenienced.

Sounds like they owe me an apology for discontinuing Google Desktop 14 years ago. Google app for Desktop (yes really, its full legal name) will have poorer privacy compared to Google Desktop though given it’s mainly intended to push Gemini/AI Mode.

The opposite, you can make them pay you when they use data from your website. In reality though someone running a small business website on GoDaddy won’t have much to offer them, and will barely make a few cents from this

Happy 25th Birthday OS X!šŸ„³šŸŽ‰

At exactly midnight on March 24, 2001, Apple released Mac OS X 10.0 (Cheetah) in retail stores

What followed became history, and to this day I consider it the greatest OS ever built

This special day deserved a real party, and everyone showed up🄹

They did screw up by advertising features they couldn’t deliver, but this isn’t why people are going to the trouble of disabling auto update. The complaints on social media are universally about the redesign

Mozilla extended support for Firefox 115 ESR on Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 and macOS 10.12 – 10.14 until August. It was due to end support last month, and they may consider extending it again.

Love that the documentation says ā€œIf prompt injection is a concernā€, there’s an optional experimental sandbox feature. What do you mean ā€œifā€ it’s a concern? How can it not be one when you’re giving an agent unchecked control over your system?

Aaron (@aaronp613) Here is how much STORAGE is inside Apple's new displays: The Studio Display (A19) and Studio Display XDR (A19 Pro) both have 128GB onboard storage (up from 64GB) They also have 8GB (A19) and 12GB (A...

Wild how we can be in a RAM and storage shortage and Apple just has enough of it on hand to be like yeah, our monitors that stream up to 5K pixels back and forth will have 8GB RAM and a 128GB SSD. Economies of scale go brrr

Why did they acquire a store that sells other companies’ brands if, as they explain, they already have their own equivalent products they’d rather sell you?

Two of the worst companies I’ve had to deal with. Stripe doesn’t care if your use case doesn’t fit the exact shape of their APIs but will gladly sell you more APIs for the bare minimum (tax, fraud protection). Pushes Link, which confuses customers. PayPal, well, everyone knows why they’re the worst.

Unfortunately I only see recent events like OpenClaw making this worse. Influencers talk about how they set an agent on a task before leaving the house for a few hours. I really wonder how often it actually works and how often it wastes a ton of credits trying to bruteforce a silly problem.

A successful Git branching model In this post I present a Git branching strategy for developing and releasing software as I’ve used it in many of my projects, and which has turned out to be very successful.

Something really, really makes me think someone was trying to prove a point about the lack of value of image models (other than fraud) by releasing a diagram this broken. Like, this went through a pull request and someone approved it. But it’s really hard to say with this company at the moment…
