Too bad apple refises to provide a manual with these kinds of features in it. That’d be useful. No, it’s not intuitive, clearly.

It’s pretty scary how media can influence us so much, even when we think they aren’t, and even when we think “only dumb people fall for it.” No my friend, the majority fall for it. Not cause they’re dumb, but because they’ve scienced the hell out of human nature and know precisely how to do it right under our noses. It started with marketing and advertising that works well, unfortunately. They’ve cracked the psyche code. Media adopted it. Big tech improved it. Gah… this is turning into a rant about capitalism; I didn’t intend to go there. Eek.

Treat them how you would wish to be treated when you are old, forgetful, stubborn, deaf, and slower. Getting old can suck. It’s angering. It hurts. They are humans with emotions. Don’t forget that.

The one that doesn’t allow advertisements or rampant bots.

Oh okay. I didn’t realize that. Wow.

6 million dollars apiece is cheap?

I think some news companies are trying to sue him for linking to articles without paying them, which is a strange turn of events given it wasn’t too long ago that businesses would paid you to link to their site (that’s what Elon says anyway; I’m not in web commerce so I don’t know personally how it works.) So, I guess he wants to have people write the news on his site instead?

I think news companies are going bust?

Agreed about INI for simple stuff. Not good for arrays and nested things though. Usually use binary for that type of config (with clear documentation). Most binary config files I use are plain old C structures. I’m not a web person so no need to make the config plain text.

Last time I heard about it, it was exactly like you mention. I find the articles very misleading.

In what country is lemm.ee hosted?

This is really good info, thanks.

I read it. Even looked at firefish.social. I fail to see the difference. It’s people posting and people replying just like here. Or do I need to actually sign up to see the differences? Or can some one elaborate, because this simply smells of advertisement.

By PC you mean non macOS? On my MacBook Air, it has a drive called iCloud. It’s just a matter of dragging and dropping into a local drive.

I heard Apple might have the apps for Windows PCs now. I haven’t investigated.

I never thought about that. That’s a great idea.

Mine died. $12,000 to replace. It’s insane!!

This has happened to me so many times. Frustrating and stupid being belief. Are they hiring 10 year olds to write the html/script? Sheesh.

It is said men have two (2) deaths. The first is physical. The second is when your influence in the world is no longer felt and your name has been spoken for the very last time.

As the great author Terry Pratchet has proclaimed, “No one is actually dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away…”

So it is in that vein in which my use of the word “immortal” was intended. Immortal was used in a purposefully exaggerated way to impress upon the reader the great significance and glory of the discoverer in making such a discovery.

My comment was intended in a poetic light, rather than logically or scientifically.

3.2 to 5 liters a day. Hope I did that calculation correctly.

Nine to fourteen cans of cola a day is the limit. Eek, I’ve probably done that when I was a young programmer! Hope it doesn’t catch up to me. :(

Man I wish NASA (or some private pioneer) would send an archeology team (human or robot) to find evidence of previous life. Like dinosaurs or something. If you discovered that, you’d be immortal.
