@Migueldeicaza kids always find a way to sudo and Apple will always take way too long to do anything about it.
@siracusa curious if you’ve seen this thing. Not much to say except it’s a thing. https://www.thedrive.com/news/theres-a-137-inch-bugatti-tv-now-and-it-folds

@freediverx @Arcticulate @siracusa I have felt the same for some time. I characterize it as Apple used to aim for the best software they possible. Now they aim for better than the rest, which is another way of saying least worst.
World premiere of the ID.3 Neo: new name, new design, new interior and new technologies

Everything is new in the ID.3 Neo! The successor to the ID.3 is celebrating its world premiere with a new name and has been extensively enhanced and upgraded. The exterior features include a new vehicle front design based on Volkswagen’s “Pure Positive” design language and a new light design. The interior impresses with a redesigned cockpit landscape with intuitive controls, embedded in interior materials at the level of the next-higher class. The new efficient drive system of the ID.3 Neo – combined with the largest of the three available batteries – additionally enables ranges of up to 630 km (WLTP (Range determined on the rolling road test bed in accordance with the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP) in the most range-favourable equipment variant.

@daringfireball it’s OK we can do that too.

I keep thinking about Bill Watterson’s resistance to licensing Calvin and Hobbes and how he takes pride in knowing every line, brush stroke, and letter was done by him. Licensing would turn him into a foreman reviewing other people’s work and he wasn’t interested in that. That’s how I feel. I admit this is strange and somewhat at odds with using libraries and frameworks, but that’s the best analogy I have.

I still use LLMs as a force multiplier, but I wouldn’t call it *satisfying*.

Huh, archive.ph is now dependent on Javascript from mail.ru.

I do appreciate browsing the web with JS off by default.

This makes Microsoft Office Updater run monthly:
sudo plutil -replace StartInterval -integer 2592000 /Library/LaunchAgents/com.microsoft.update.agent.plist

Note, Microsoft thinks it should run every 7200 seconds and will "fix" it sometimes.
