Yeah they have an Eject symbol by it multiple places, plus the trash can turns into an eject icon, plus of course the menu item you can use under the File menu now, so it's pretty well covered. Especially compared to the (to me) fairly inexplicable Windows "USB" blob that appears in the controls area to let your right-click and eject. But that was a definitely a thing back in OS 9 and prior, haha. I have no idea whose idea it was to make that the disk eject interface. I've heard the same rant multiple times for sure.

I mean, this is why I have been using Mac since 1984. It's not hard and it pretty much just gets out of the way and lets you do stuff. (Caveat: Gaming. It really doesn't let you do gaming without jumping through a number of hoops.)

The fact Time Machine immediately hassles you to set up a drive and back up your stuff is so great for the average user. I'm sure both Linux and (I know) Windows have something similar, but it's not immediately active and trying to get you to save your stuff. TM has saved my bacon numerous times and I love that it's one click and a fresh HD for users to get it set up.

I still think Trump's treatment of top secret documents is a bigger national security scandal, but yeah, basically all of this! Now we just have to see if anyone cares.

That's actually pretty cool to know. Thanks!

Oh, so they're upset now? What about, you know, when Trump stole a shit-ton of top secret documents that he very probably attempted to sell and at the very least definitely stored improperly and used a lot of lying and juggling to keep hold of? After he attempted to overthrow the government on Jan 6th. If they had moved faster, we wouldn't even be having this whine-fest, because he wouldn't have gotten re-elected from prison.

I mean, I agree 1 billion is a lot of money, but if they're trying to really grab viewers and keep them, I think they have to make it a worthy proposition and they started waaaaay behind the other streaming services, who have had a lot longer to collect a worthy back catalogue of content.

They've had a number of shockingly good shows too, though. Like if you have missed any of these, you've missed out a bit, IMHO.

• Ted Lasso
• Shrinking
• Silo
• Slow Horses
• For All Mankind
• The Morning Show
• Severance

I feel like unless you bought an Incel Camino or a brand new Tesla like in the last year, you really shouldn't be on the receiving end of quite so much hate, TBH. They were the car that finally got EVs off the ground as an acceptable alternative, so it's a shame early adopters are possibly being lumped in with MAGA truck owners.

They made $14 billion in Q4 of 2024… what even does losing 250 million a quarter mean compared to those numbers? I think they need to stay the course and maybe even expand faster, to be perfectly honest.

Also, every Apple hardware purchase should come with like another year of Apple TV imho. Or link it by level, like an iPhone Pro Max is 1 year. An iPhone Pro is 6 months. An iPhone is 3 months. Something that keeps as many Apple eyeballs engaged as possible so that you at least have a core viewership to talk it up to all their friends?

I mean, the big difference is that on Reddit, you're the product. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I am on both and trying to gradually transition over to here. One thing is to be aware that you can block entire instances here. Once I blocked hexbear and lemmygrad, the quality of my feed improved pretty dramatically.

Aren't these the same rat bastards that assisted him into office by trying to provide "both sides" coverage up until about a month before the election?

Top reads by Zelazny (IMHO):

• Lord of Light
• Dilvish The Damned and The Changing Lands
• Chronicles of Amber series
• Doorways in the Sand
• Roadmarks

His short story collections are also quite cool, like Unicorn Variations.

Ah yes, the "personal liberty" to just accumulate wealth without limits or taxation because that is a "free market". Never mind Amazon drives on roads built with federal dollars—they are a job creator and everyone should lick their boots for that.
