Winter is kinda wild too. The fact that the planet is tilted just enough to make it cold part of the year, but not so cold that it kills everything, and many plants and animals have integrated this into their life cycles.

Halo. I hate watched it and then got annoyed that they cancelled it right at the point that they actually got to the damn Halo.

Wait, is this the original comic? It’s so much clearer than the meme template

I’ve used PlexAmp. It’s shit. It tries its best, but it can’t make up for the flaws in plex’s underlying library system. It also requires having a library host running all the time. Apple host the music for me and I can make library changes from any of my devices.

I’ve tried a number of other self host options, as well, and none of them come close to the feature set in Music. I even wrote my own web app to do it way back in the 2000s, just so I could implement my own UX. This is still better.

I pay for Apple Music (well, technically I get it as part of Apple One) for one reason: the library matching function. I have half a gig of mp3s on my home computer, many of which are not on any streaming service, and apple makes them all available to every device I own.

For me, thats worth the monthly price.

Given that LLMs are always at least several months behind reality in their training, and the data they’re training on is content produced by real journalists, I really don’t see how it could EVER act as a journalist. I’m not sure it could even interview someone reliably.

7.1 was the first MacOS that apple charged for, nominally to cover the cost of the CDs. 7.1, 7.5 and 7.6 all cost $29, but you could get free installers from many of the Mac magazines.

8.0, 8.5 and 9.0 were $99

10.0 was $129

10.1 was free, but a lot of stores charged a handling fee. I remember picking up my copy from CompUSA for ten cents.

10.2 - 10.5 were $130 upgrades, but there were numerous ways to get it for free. I don’t think I ever actually paid for any of them.

10.6 and 10.7 were both $30

10.8 was $20

10.9 and later were all free

MacOS never had licenses, owning a mac was the license because you couldn’t run it on non-apple hardware* until they switched to Intel. I got OS8 from a copy of MacAddict.

* not counting Gil Amelio’s ill-fated hardware mac clone program

And that $30 was largely for the physical media, in a time before broadband distribution. Apple never had license keys, if you owned a mac you were licensed.

Yeah, but this video had deepfake footage OF HIM talking about it, and his brain is so addled that it didn’t occur to him he never recorded that

Also Red Lobster.

I’ll give you that for Shenzi (Whoopi Goldberg), but that’s a big stretch for Banzai (Cheech Marin) and Ed (Jim Cummings). I don’t think Marin can play anything other than a mexican stereotype, and Ed was just a moron.

Do you actually have faith that this government will make those choices?

I could have sworn there was a Cookie’s Crumby Pictures for The Matrix, back when they were making tons of film parodies, but apparently that wasn’t one of them.

corner radius on rounded edges is too large

Oh it gets worse, the radius is also inconsistent across different kinds of windows and applications

We need to roll back all OS UI designs to 2010 until we can figure out what the hell is going on. Bring back windows 7.

Theres a theory that Apple released this a year early and unfinished because Apple Intelligence is so far over its head that they had nothing else to debut

If not cookie, why cookie shaped?!

Now now, Horizon also has Varl.
