> On the MacBook Neo, I can even opt to not use MacOS at all and instead install Asahi Linux if I so choose

Wait, does Asahi even run in this thing, or is that unfounded speculation?

It’s definitely speculation. Not sure it’s unfounded, the project has built some level of support for all other Apple Silicon Macs: https://asahilinux.org/docs/platform/feature-support/overvie...

Minecraft terrain generation produces invalid states, such as empty spaces within water, where once you interact with it the boundary collapses into a valid state. I don't think Mojang planned to have those invalid states.

Minecraft has (had?*) a lot of bugs but I don't really see how that's relevant.

*I haven't played it for many years so I have no idea what things are like these days.

In a similar vein, imagine the step parents aren't married, they're just platonic friends. They would probably be overjoyed if their children connected romantically.

Also, I can just see the industry changing from "stepbrother" to "my mom's boyfriend's son." Suddenly if the parents aren't married then it's not illegal. What about if the parents are divorced? Does ex-step-sibling count? The whole thing seems absurd. These are works of fiction that have not "graduated", as Preet Bharara would say.

I was also going to point out how awesome the Steam Deck multi-user experience is:

    1. Turn on Steam Deck
    2. Open Steam on your phone
    3. Scan QR code
    4. Choose whether or not to stay signed in on the Steam Deck

It is such a great UX that makes using the hardware very easy for any random Steam user who picks it up.

I'm sure the security angle would be something a lot of people would bring up, but if iPad had this feature, they could make great use of Apple's Data Protection Classes[1] to ensure that all per-user data is encrypted when that specific user is not logged in and actively using the device.

If you compare them side by side, you actually can see how slow some of them are. The way I compare is to open them all up tiled on my display joined to the same tmux session, then try doing heavy redraw operations, like maybe cmatrix. You can clearly see how some of them are quick at redrawing, and some are not.

Some people do not care about the difference, but it is definitely there.

In my experience, AI is really good at creating bloatware, which makes it doubly frustrating that it is eating up all the RAM.

Bloatware existed as soon as JavaScript became good enough to write apps in it.

Text boxes are now drawn with nested DIV hells created by polyfills and layers of React crepe cake and not a simple drawRect call to draw the text box

Well, the app description does say "modern". No modern app should be using rsa keys. ssh-rsa was deprecated in OpenSSH in 2020 https://www.openssh.org/txt/release-8.2

Yet it supports password based auth which is less secure.

The only question I have is "how far are you willing to go, Machiel?"

AI training data is valuable. They're not going to just throw it away.

Didn't you read the last line of the announcement? They have enterprise AI dollars to chase! Salesforce wants some of them billions. Gotta make up for the 42% their stock price has dipped in the last 12 months.
