Having used OS X, there is no way they've done usability testing. Doing basically everything is hard on OS X

They should be worried. We don't want them comfortable.

So many negative things have entered our culture bc people don't care about dangers. Nearly every app should have a warning

Fr even some of the first few comments are totally unhinged

Post title is misleading as he's not really the one causing the drama.

The mods gave him a 6-week suspension, and now it's up, so he requested his access back. Nothing unusual

The drama comes from people who just hate the guy and are screaming about letting him back. His response to that was then very cordial and just calling out them for being to aggressive.

I'm not taking a stance on whether his suspension should become a ban or whether he's gonna change or whatever; I'm just saying it's simply false to say he's continuing to cause the drama and problems when all he did was ask to get his commit access back and tell his haters they're being assholes

Why use Julia when Rust is so much better?

Also, as for reasoning for choosing a Pixel, Pixels are not really a product for Google but rather a device for Google employees to test things on but as a consequence can be sold as well. This makes them perfect for hacking

AI is mostly just hype. It's the new blockchain

There are important AI technologies in the past for things like vision processing and the new generative AI has some uses like as a decent (although often inaccurate) summarizer/search engine. However, it's also nothing revolutionary.

It's just a neat peace of tech

But here come MS, Apple, other big companies, and tech bros to push AI hard, and it's so obv that it's all just a big scam to get more of your data and to lock down systems further or be the face of get-rich-quick schemes.

I mean the image you posted is a great example. Recall is a useless feature that also happens to store screenshots of everything you've been doing. You're delusional if you think MS is actually going to keep that totally local. Both MS and the US government are going to have your entire history of using the computer, and that doesn't sit right with FOSS people.

FOSS people tend to be rather technical than the average person, so they don't fall for tech enthusiast nonsense as much.

Nextcloud Server

I can only get it to work via snap and on Ubuntu. I've tried Ubuntu, Debian, Arch, Fedora, and NixOS for distro and both manual and snap. It doesn't even have a flatpak.
