But, it’s the Canary®™… of coal mine fame.

So old. Like 12 years old.

That’s only 10 Petabytes per cartridge. The Internet Archive is currently sitting at 212 Petabytes.

Hey, OP. Also, fuck you, thanks.

Our meat isn’t impossible. It’s simply improbable.

But, without disruptive new products, sales seem to be stuck in a muted place. And the next swing at big disruption, Vision Pro, starting next year, feels a like a slow build, initially.

Fuck stock market analysts. In one sentence it’s “they don’t innovate.” In the next sentence it’s, “they innovate, but I want them to do it faster.”

How often can you expect a single company to disrupt entire markets? These expectations are not sustainable.

I know this is from Kindergarten Cop, and it’s unfortunate that it just happens to sound like right wing rhetoric in the current political climate. So know that at least one person didn’t downvote you.

I also didn’t upvote to counteract those downvotes because it’s kind of a dumb, low-bar joke.

They’re also the company who mainstreamed the software subscription model.

It used to be that only services required subscriptions. Applications would be a one time payment. But, Adobe converted to the subscription model and because they hold a monopoly over the design space, people/companies had no choice but to go along. Once they were successful, every business in the world decided that they also wanted that sweet monthly payment and now software licensing sucks.

I refuse to even pirate Adobe products on principle.

TL;DR Fuck Adobe, use open source.

Hey, everyone! Get in here! We’re building a bikeshed!

The links from that post and top comment point out that that initiative was dropped. It got mired down in bikeshedding from hundreds of opinions and SO eventually just said, “Fuck it.”

The MIT announcement thread was edited with the cancellation announcment:

Update: January 15, 2016

Thank you for your patience and feedback. The changes proposed here have been delayed indefinitely - we’ll be back later to open some more discussions.

The top comment from your link points out the current license:

TL;DR: Source code on SO is still licensed under CC-BY-SA.

And CC BY-SA is the only license listed on the official help page.

You’re supposed to do that anyway. Code on SO is licensed as CC BY-SA, which requires attribution.

Again?

Yeah, that’s what I want. For the government to tell me who I am or am not allowed to spend money with. I’m sure that wouldn’t have any negative repercussions.

Kind of. They look the same, but don’t act the same. Folder don’t show their contents until you double click them. They act like any other file in that way. One click to select. Double click to open. I like the more basic one click functionality for browsing.

Columns became the dealbreaker when I was considering switching from macOS to Linux. I need my columns.

I absolutely love Espanso. So much faster than TextExpander and I like that it’s config is plain text files.

You’re insane though if you think Inkscape is better than Illustrator. I’m not an Adobe fanboy by any means, but it is a really good (if bloated) product.

It’s absolutely possible, though. MPV has it. It definitely takes longer than going forward, and sometimes I have to press the “back one frame” shortcut 2-5 times per frame. But, it does exist.

IINA on macOS

Firefox has been very good (better than Chrome) for several years. Ever since they released Quantum.

There’s nothing special about it. It’s just the extension in a larger format. I’ve tried to use it a few times, but there’s no gain over the extension. And, typically the extension is better because I already have my browser open, so I don’t need to open a new app.
