@cstross I’d say he’s rather realistic, sadly.

@daringfireball the thing is: you wouldn’t give any person full access to your Mac. So why would you let an LLM do that?

Let me repeat: fuck you, Apple. Ads are rotting you. What’s the goal here? Make the best ads? Insanely great ads? Oh, I know: insanely great amounts of fucking money.

Apple confirms that its Maps app will begin showing ads to users "this summer"

Apple Maps ads will look and work a bit like current App Store ads do.

I love my Mac but stuff like this drives me up a wall. When Spotlight acts up, I want to rebuild the Spotlight index. These are the official instructions on how to do it: "Add your startup drive to the exclusions field... WAIT A FEW SECONDS... then remove it, then quit System Settings.”

HEAVEN FORBID there would be a cute little button in System Settings > Spotlight that says "Rebuild Spotlight Index” that we could push.

@Strandjunker @cstross it’s ironic that ICE is so bad, they make TSA look like reasonable professionals.
