Yeah when it was announced I remember thinking "damn, that would totally be worth it despite the fact that it looks a bit weird," - because at that price it was actually cheaper than the available sedans. But of course, that was six years ago, before Musk made a complete Nazi of himself and of course, before it became a $100k boondoggle.

For me it's because it seems evident that Microsoft wants Windows to be saas and here's the thing: I don't like Windows that much. For over 20 years now, I've preferred Linux for server stuff and Mac for daily driver stuff, I've only tolerated Windows, mainly for gaming.
Since Windows 7 died (I skipped 8 altogether and reluctantly have been dealing with 10 with lots of hacks to keep it locked down), I have only been barely tolerating it - and games were the sole reason.
Well, Proton has now obliterated that, conveniently right as Microsoft has decided that what people REALLY need is for them to be 100% shit. I refuse to install 11. So I'm out.
This is a fantastic video. I spend less and less time on Reddit now because every time I'm there I eventually get struck with a "this isn't real people" feeling after reading something. It will always be either mundane repetitive bullshit or yet another post demanding civil war or stoking a feeling of helplessness.
Lemmy and Mastodon are slow AF but they still feel mostly real.

*looks around* I'm still waiting to see even the tiniest crack in the fuselage.
I grew up in the //e era. That shit was a blast. I learned a lot about Assembly and I learned Basic back then too. Copying disks, defeating copy protection was a rite of passage. I was actually bummed when Steve left and things got so bad.
So when Steve came back and things picked back up with the iPod, I was kinda jazzed for it. But I never bought in to the hype. iPods started the whole ridiculous pricing model. First thing I actually bought was a 3GS because there really was nothing else like it.
I got into Mac laptops because my work gave me one and I was a Linux nerd by that time so the fact that it's Unix under the hood has always been super appealing to me, still is. But the pricing still keeps me several years behind, I do not buy Apple new, always used. Gotta give them props for hardware longevity though. My daily driver is a 14/yo Air.
Never have felt the magic like back in the day though. Now it just feels like the lesser of several evils.
I don't understand something in all this. Does anyone seriously believe he's railing against the giveaways to billionaires in this bill?
Because as near as I can tell, what he's saying, and what every Republican who is rethinking this is saying when they say the bill gives them pause, is: the tax breaks are fine as per usual, the problem is the cuts don't go nearly far enough.
Elon Musk appears to me to effectively be saying he will not rest until all social benefits in this country are completely and utterly done away with.
I hope that's a joke. Airpods could be a Fortune 500 company all on their own.
No, I was serious, although after looking into it, I am surprised that hardware makes up 72% of their income. Perhaps they could make up the 28% software revenue shortfall with innovative new hardware and still maintain that 3.06T market cap, eh?
Proton cannot even link to FAQ or customer support pages from its apps, as Apple believes it’s possible that users will then navigate from the support page to a pricing page and upgrade their accounts without paying Apple its fee.
I didn't realize this either.
Yeah, this also is why Apple has been so sluggish on PWAs (and why they won't allow third party browsers). There is literally nothing that can be done in an app that can't be done quicker and easier as a PWA these days. But how is Apple going to make any money if you can publish your own app and take your own payments? They would then become a hardware vendor and that would absolutely ruin them as a company.
Apple will throw everything they've got at this to attempt to maintain the status quo.
Man, it's wild to see them go from one-child to this in a single generation.
Saw a thread discussing the varieties of frozen pizza and it made me glad I make my own.
The pizza pictured is 16", costs about $2.75 to make and serves 2 people comfortably. Oh, and taste? There's really no comparison.
The only real barrier to anybody making pizza like this is just the willingness to practice. It does take a while to get it down, but once you do it's like second nature - and so worth it!
I apologize in advance.
