@siracusa@mastodon.social it’s so ugly and jarring. Look the current VLC icon on Tahoe.. it’s a travesty!

@stephenrobles@mastodon.social @caseyliss@mastodon.social also the pricing is 👌. 10 euros a year to not deal with IMDB was worth it to my mom, and she rarely subscribes to apps.

@fds@mastodon.social @marcoarment@mastodon.social all we want is proper on device models but we got image playgrounds😂

@marcoarment@mastodon.social @stroughtonsmith@mastodon.social SwiftUI is the only thing that clicked for me after years of trying and failing with UIkit.
I hope Apple “finishes” it feature wise.
@siracusa@mastodon.social I shut down my Mac every day, simply because I don’t need it to be on at night🙂

@NetNewsWire@indieweb.social @brentsimmons@indieweb.social “made the app use less memory”
Thanks for caring about this stuff instead of just shipping a 130 MB framework

@nikitonsky @siracusa thank you. I’m sick of people saying Tahoe isn’t bad and “you just have to get used to it”.
No it’s bad. As a user, I don’t care what framework is being used or whatever is causing that slow rendering etc. I care about the user experience. Which currently is bad.

@stroughtonsmith@mastodon.social it’s just so isolating.. I can’t imagine using it for more than a demo

@stroughtonsmith@mastodon.social I do think environmental gains are better spend else where.
And maybe it’s not technically stealing, but a few major companies gained billions from everyone else’s stuff. I don’t think that’s ok.

@stroughtonsmith@mastodon.social
@stroughtonsmith@mastodon.social stealing photoshop is hardly comparable to stealing like.. all the art out there though. And that is assuming they did steal it, while we know a handful of tech companies stole it all. Just one more brick in the wall of inequality
And eating meat is a bit whataboutism no?
RE: @zkat@toot.cat
@stroughtonsmith@mastodon.social thoughts on this? Agree, disagree, see their point?

@viticci@mastodon.macstories.net
@viticci but… is using anything by OpenAI even remotely moral at this point? Even if you look past all the theft, there is still the pentagon deal, the ties to trump..

@paul@tapbots.social why does an app like that have push notifications?

@BenRiceM@mastodon.social
@BenRiceM@mastodon.social thank you! It’s algorithms that push us to extreme and hateful content, manipulate us to buy shit we don’t need and vote against our interests.
Totally different from a chronological timeline of people you follow

@BenRiceM@mastodon.social
@BenRiceM@mastodon.social but they also block all the scam apps right? …right??
(Or a very popular app that was filled by csam for that matter)

@BenRiceM@mastodon.social protecting children only gets used to take more and more control and privacy away from us. They care about children about as much as they care about marginalized groups: not at all.

@FeloniousPunk @siracusa major difference: although there were some terrible people in charge, non were as unpredictable and just plain insane as the current one is

@jsnell @marcoarment or: almost no body wants that thing. When I told my friends and family about it they all said: why would I want that.
I don’t think it was the marketing. It was the product.

@AshtonDev@mastodon.social
@AshtonDev @marcoarment adding the formally free Pages, Keynote and Number was just a pure anti consumer, penny pinching move.

@dimillian@mastodon.social
@dimillian @schb sure, but Altman is donating to trump and their models are being used by the pentagon. It’s political
Replying to
@schb@mastodon.social
@schb@mastodon.social @dimillian@mastodon.social a nice salary makes you forget about the trump donations real fast I guess

@brentsimmons also the massive theft, energy usage and externalities that disproportionately affect the poor.

@jsnell@zeppelin.flights
@jsnell@zeppelin.flights @marcoarment@mastodon.social @caseyliss@mastodon.social the UI is bad AND the OS is so bad that it reloads the app half a second after you’ve opened it.

@marcoarment__dup_2255@mastodon.social
@marcoarment@mastodon.social propably. End of an era I guess.
I get that LLMs are the futures. But it has just killed my interest in tech/programming and I’m actively switching to a different career.
