Why did Apple choose to release the updates to Numbers, Pages etc. as separate apps instead of updating the existing ones and how is is possible that the file system allow them to exist simultaneously when the bundles have the same file name?

Feels weird.

I exclusively consume news through RSS and have done so for decades. I cannot recommend it enough.

One awesome use of AI would be for Apple to continue chatting with the scammers when you mark a text/message as ‘delete and report junk’. Would even be better if it later send you a transcript.

First Geekbench result on th M5 is in:
Fastest single core performances any Mac or PC and multi core performance in between the M3 Pro and M4 Pro. I’m leaning towards an M5.

Mac17,2 - Geekbench

Benchmark results for a Mac17,2 with an Apple M5 processor.

If you were buying a MacBook Pro today and you would primarily be using it with Xcode, coding a medium sized iOS app, which configuration would you get?
M5
31.3%
M4 Pro

M4 Max

Look, Jeff Atwood, it is difficult to take you seriously when you write authoritatively on a subject you clearly don’t understand.

GDPR doesn’t mandate cookie notices.

Cookie notices are *malicious compliance* by the surveillance-driven adtech industry.

If you’re not tracking people, you do not need a cookie notice, period.

If you’re only using first-party cookies for functional reasons, you do not need a cookie notice, period.

If you’re using third-party cookies to track people – i.e., if you’re sharing their data with others – then *you must have their consent to do so*. Because, otherwise, you are violating their privacy. Even then, the law doesn’t mandate a cookie notice.

How would you conform to EU law without a cookie notice if your aim wasn’t malicious compliance?

You would not track people by default and you would make it so they have to go your site’s settings to turn on third-party tracking if, for some inexplicable reason, they wanted that “feature”.

Boom!

No cookie notice necessary.

What’s that?

But that would destroy your business because your business is founded on the fundamental mechanic of violating people’s privacy?

Good.

Your business doesn’t deserve to exist.

Because the real bullshit here isn’t EU legislation that protects the human right to privacy, it’s the toxic Silicon Valley/Big Tech business model of farming people for data that violates everyone’s privacy and opens the door to technofascism.

Look, EU, it is difficult to take you seriously when you forced all this cookie notification bullshit on us. That feature a) should not exist and b) if it did, should be a BROWSER feature not "every website in the entire world now has to bother everyone forever about this stupid thing" https://blog.codinghorror.com/breaking-the-webs-cookie-jar/

Looking forward to my four-week micro-retirement, starting Wednesday. The office already half empty from micro-retired colleagues, all enjoying a four week micro-retirement, one week of which is sponsored by our employer.
