Milliontown, experiments and a bunch of other stuff seems to have vanished from Apple Music. Have they published anything? Unsure where to look but there absence is extremely noticeable from my rotation.

You say this isn’t a DAW. After VoiceOver on Mac became so unreliable it stopped reading plain fking text, do you know how much I would give for a Linux daw? I’m genuinely considering my next studio setup to use audacity like an ADAT, and demoting my Mac from music box to dum synthesiser.

Amazon kindle app on my phone open, scrolling through multi tasking with the screen reader, someone at Amazon programmed their accessible name of the app to read “Shit”. Ironic, because it’s in the list next to iPhone email which actually is shit.

OG Just Cause on XBox I must have well over a thousand hours on at this point.

What’s the biggest red flag you’ve seen chatting to an ai company founder?

I’ll start, telling you about the unrealistically enormous server they’ve bought, when there’s no way they need 80TBs of storage or 16 CPU sockets.

I bet the reason they aren’t giving more details on who killed Charlie Kirk is too fold:

1. They’ve realised the shooter looks nothing like and is definitely not an immigrant.

2. Trump realises he can use this moment to seize whatever power he wants and will invoke a state of emergency.

Everyone getting their knickers in a twist about #GPT5 legitimately sucking ass, to them I say “Welcome to the club. You’re a bit late, but the food’s still warm, the beer’s still cool and the night’s still young.”

I’ve made lots of dishes where the effort:taste ratio is large enough to ban ready meals on the spot.

Risotto isn’t one of them. Oh it tastes amazing, but frankly if it didn’t after 1hr of stirring, adding stock, wine, parmesan and truffle oil to taste, someone’s head would end up on my wall.

Honestly 2025 is turning out to be a pain bath in general, physical and mental boxes have been well and truly ticked thus far. Then if you’re Jewish, add an extra serving of double sided existential crisis over morning serial to bring it home that yeah, we are well and truly fucked.

Serious question, why don’t blue states just hold referendums on leaving the states and go independent?

You can write your own laws anyway; would there be anything to lose? Some states could even have public healthcare.

I’m sure there’s a reason, just thought I’d ask as a Brit.

Started coding aged 12 with AutoIt and VB.NET, their documentation was made for beginners and the road to getting better was clear.

HDD died, and with it my passion for programming, all my work was gone.

Rust, ngl, first modern language that treats normies well and showed me I could code again.

Marketing an OS as Linux is like marketing an engine instead of the car. BMW make the same engines for the 7 Series, 8 Series, and various rolls Royce models. Go figure. Package me a distro that helps me work better than the other guy, and a car that makes me feel a million dollars.

Games are the growing use case because steam. All it’ll take is for someone to say “We have a new way for you to do your work, without bla blah blah, ads, more ads, bla bla, and sell it on that basis without mentioning Linux and boom. You will have people using it in droves.

You’re dam fucking right it will be, through protest by hook and crook we’ll all push to get these racist orange-loving money-worshipping bastards back out of the oh. Tha’that’s -not what they -were going for?

Exactly. They’re saying it’s ’their Linux based operating system’. It’s subtle, but different. Normal users think about installing steam os, not Linux. That’s why Ubuntu was a leader in the beginning too, and why mint is leading now among new adopters. If anything, Linux is a philosophy and kernel.

Musk has the power, the data and the money to mount a coup with a huge base behind him, plus enough tech and insider hackers in doge to smooth the path.

This might look fun right now, but this will not end well for anyone.

All that data and they still can’t unlock the phone securely for people with nystagmus. Plus, their accessibility is in the bin at this point. I’m daily driving Linux now, a manually assembled arch setup on dev machines, and it’s more reliable than the $1Ts backed support driven garbage they ship.

Like how many users would Debian pull in if they said:

“Hate constant updates that break your workflow? Security is important but do you really need every new feature going? Well here at Debian you can have the same look for two decades, stay safe online, have your cake and eat it too.”

I hate that the world is easier to live in after two glasses of neat vodka, but it’s definitely true. Never start a software company, try to avoid fascists, and always stand up for what you believe in.

Basically they all need to realise their projects aren’t Linux as such, they’re their own thing. Steam doesn’t market SteamOS as arch, same with chromeOS or android. Then the discussion is less about ‘the pizza’ idea, and more about ‘their pizza’ idea. What do they do different that matters?

Was that the supposed trade secrets you spilled, that actually turned out to be massively invasive practices with gobbler?

Meh, I keep saying this but if you were born blind you’d do the same. Anyone would. It’s just exhausting and running a business I do not have time to be constantly filming chess, as sick as that would be. I just wish they’d care. But if not I’ll just build a competitor that does.

Note Apple’s attempt to say they haven’t a clue what social accounts you have, but how the heck is that relevant?

See this is what I mean. If we had decent marketing, we’d all know to pick the desktop environment first to narrow down the selection. The distribution rarely if ever matters.

So today in the fuck is wrong with AI, I had to put a bank level block on open AI because:

1. They’ve billed me twice even though all my accounts with them no longer exist.

2. I can’t contact their support because chat doesn’t work with VoiceOver on the devices I had to hand.

Illegal?

Please do, I wish Linux had better marketing and this whole distros thing is way too complicated. You get one from the menu or you build your own with arch.
