What a shameless load of reframing. Let’s balance that out a little.
Italy is doing something immoral and significantly harmful, foreigners considered leaving rather than becoming complicit, this guy is morally offended that foreigners think they’re allowed to not be in Italy.
Of course predictions about the future are not present reality.
It’s not set in stone, but it’s supported by the times this has happened before and by trends in Apple and in tech. “Nothing will ever change” is a prediction, too, and one much less supported by evidence.
Your experience is starkly different than mine. Are you sure you aren’t thinking of Pixelmator, Pixelmator Pro’s much more toy-like predecessor from ~10 years ago?
My experience is that while there’s a feature and community gap for both Pixelmator Pro and Affinity, Affinity just tried to copy Photoshop, positioning it as a worse but cheaper Photoshop, while Pixelmator Pro feels like an attempt to make a better photo editor, losing some familiarity points but also being tangibly better than Photoshop at most use cases it can handle, which is many. It’s also an excellent macOS citizen. Between those two factors, it seems much more up Apple’s alley.
The other thing that’s going to go away is purchasing only what you need. I want exactly one of these apps, I bet virtually nobody uses all of them, and yet the suckers are going to be telling us that being made to buy stuff we don’t want or use is “more value”.
I rejected iOS 26 for a while and boy did my opinion on whether Apple forces version changes do a 180. Everything people lambast Windows for was there. Nags with no “no” option, a red notification badge you can’t dismiss, scare dialogs, and disabling unrelated features. This latest slimy behavior is unfortunately quite consistent with how Apple treats disobedient iOS users.
On macOS they still seem to be stopped by firm enough non-consent, but they really try to force you first, and I get the impression they may do worse any year now.
I’d argue it’s a strength. You still have classes and custom attributes to reach for when you want an (effectively) unordered set, the difference is just that you define some boundary that’s exclusive. This reflects reality. Some helper classes work together by just slapping them together, but component-like classes, like a toggle and a hero image, don’t. If you do want to combine them, you need to think about how, potentially rearchitect, and implement it whether you’re using classes or tag names.
Apple generally does this transparently and automatically when exporting photos. If you’re not getting that behavior then you could have it off in settings, it could be your workflow, or it could be a Google Drive bug/limitation. What exactly do you mean by “transfer a photo on my iphone via google drive”? Something like open the Apple Photos app, hit share, select Google Drive, save it somewhere there, go to the Google Drive app, and copy a link?
The flight distance is 2,520 miles, Google puts road distance at 3,179 mi = 1.26x, 29,905 mi is 11.87x. Road miles are not even close to accounting for it, it’s just a bug.
FileZilla explicitly and emphatically sells a license, not a download. In fact, technically not even the initial download is included in the purchase. They’re technically within their rights to never even give you the software, just say “all we ever sold you was a promise not to sue”, but we’d all agree that’s a scam, right? So, where’s the line?
Point of comparison, Steam, CodeCanyon, and Gumroad all let you re-download the version you licensed indefinitely.
Well, I wanted to revert and wanted a new phone, so bought an iPhone 16 instead of a 17, which comes with iOS 18 installed. iCloud data synced in fine, and the 17 is a very small upgrade anyway, even a downgrade in some ways.
It was the primary motivating factor behind the previous major browser shift, though there were also other large factors.
Remember that users often don’t correctly figure out which part of the stack is causing something. I’m guessing people generally don’t ID the browser as the performance bottleneck unless they’re familiar with browsers of significantly differing speed, and when not it comes out as asking for faster internet, faster websites, or a faster computer, all of which we hear constantly.
Please consider changing pass/fail to an integer score out of maybe 5. This test is becoming more and more misleading as your apparent desire to give due credit conflicts with quality improvements over already ok-ish models. For example, on the great wave Gemini 3’s excellent rendition gets no additional credit over Qwen technically not failing if one is generous, and on cards, there’s actually no score distinction between results that one could or could not use.
I thought so too at first, but zoom in to where the neck joins the head. What looks like the head’s shadow from a distance is actually a hard seam between thick neck and thin neck, with much of the apparent shadow actually a cutout showing the background.
Looks like the Seedream result here has been changed to fail, which I’d agree with, too. Pose change complaints aside, I think that neck is actually the same length were it held straight.
The university did not take this action directly in response to the issue, it took it in response to a call from a US senator regarding a law restricting freedom of speech. Such calls do not have a “no thanks” option. This is the normal way power is exerted, actually executing a punishment is the exception.
Your definition of freedom of speech is wrong per both US and international law. It is a freedom, the issue is the restriction of it, not just any punishment unjustly inflicted.
Sounds like a hard life. So much time spent on buggy, unintuitive, jumbled, and half-assed OS, then the only time they get away from it, they have to use Windows.
You’re right, my bad, Spigot (from Bukkit), not Fabric. I got the impression it’s actually using ~~Fabric~~ Spigot code for this because you’re using plugins compiled for Spigot and both a paper.whatever and spigot.whatever config file, but after looking it up I see that they forked it.
I’m not really clear on mod vs plugin vs mixin, I was just trying to refer to whatever software does the decompilation work rather than just consuming APIs provided by projects that do.
Sounds like it’s correct that Paper didn’t do its own mod API, but incorrect that Paper doesn’t do its own decompilation work.
> By playercount, it is the largest (custom, standalone) MC server software in the world.
Do you have a source on this? Not trying to accuse you of anything, I just know that a few servers claim this, and don’t know if we have reliable numbers.
Paper isn’t a mod loader, it uses Fabric under the hood. Also, what makes you think it’s the most popular server? I thought it was fading. I switched my server from Paper to Fabric years ago.
No. Almost everybody hated it out of context, but in context many understood that one man was about to obtain unprecedented power over all three branches of government and use it to vindictively pursue personal vendettas. These people were correct, this then happened.
Personally, I’m reminded of how every dysfunctional country’s deposed regimes flee or are killed. We sheltered Americans find it easy to forget that peaceful transfer of power is an accomplishment of lawful society, and as rule of law weakens we have only more chaotic, ignominious, and probably eventually violent transitions to look forward to.
Reaction to the Biden pardon is a pretty huge thing to be completely unaware of. You should reevaluate whether you’re in a media bubble.
