I really like this despite using nothing Apple.

From the description it seems to be rather clean. And perhaps not to be limited to Apple for too long.

"IRC vibes" -> maybe intended, see BitchX.

If there's anything I've learned in my life, it's that I'm stupider than most. Maybe wiser at the same time, because being so stupid you evolve some wisdom or perish. Maybe.

(Except I'm not sure it's wisdom that I've learned the girls I was too shy to talk to 5 years ago and last week live in the same building, same entrance, and yet I don't know how to talk to them, and I feel as if that day 5 years ago was closer to my infancy than today to my death. Autistic things are sometimes truly depressing.)

People of this kind I've heard of seem very energetic. They may not always do the smartest thing, but they do it all the way in. Maybe that's what's wise.

Though then why be a corporate executive. Doesn't seem anything desirable.

Different version, probably.

I think the way to approach this is creating a PR that a simple (plenty of people autologin on Windows) functionality is hard to find. It's also very valuable feedback for the developers, they usually have sort of tunnel vision and see completely different things as terribly important for users, while some really important (and maybe easy to do) just skip because in their skewed view it's not pressing.

That could be replaced with proper QA and lots of testing on focus groups and so on, but we live in 2025, nobody does things properly anymore.

I swear, such stories seem as if all these bosses really expected to become some sort of Soviet directors. There's no way they can expect this shit to work in a market economy.

Maybe they really believe into that "replace everyone with AI" thing.

Then we'll see evolution at work.

I don't know why I feel that urge to compare what happens with western societies today to USSR. Probably has similarities with the moment when Soviet space dream found its' model's ceiling of capability.

Pretending. That's expected to happen when they are not hard pressed to provide the actual service.

To press them anti-monopoly (first of all) laws and market (first of all) mechanisms and gossip were once used.

Never underestimate the role of gossip. The modern web took out the gossip, which is why all this shit started overflowing.

That's because they look like "talking machines" from various sci-fi. Normies feel as if they are touching the very edge of the progress. The rest of our life and the Internet kinda don't give that feeling anymore.

I'm not a RedHat fan (actually very explicitly not a fan), but frankly Fedora with Gnome seems as problematic as Windows at worst, and very easy to install.

What's even the difference? Same shit, a bit JS added.

The XXX Party, I think that'll appeal to the younger voters

So he's taking half the Trump's voters?

Isn't this, like, good?
