I organized pen and paper RPG conventions back when D&D 4 came out. We banned D20 based games even then as a boycott of WotC.

FreeBSD of course.

I read posts just like yours ten years ago.

Es besteht ein riesiger Unterschied zwischen Gewalt und Kriminalität in einer Gesellschaft und Geostrategie und Krieg zwischen Staaten.

Lots of Indie game developers actually don’t make enough to live off.

Die Bevölkerung der USA ist praktisch unbewaffnet im Vergleich zum Staat.

Staaten haben das Gewaltmonopol und die Bevölkerung ordnet sich dem Staat unter.

What’s ChatGPT’s rating? It’s impressive it can play chess at all, considering that’s not its core skill.

Developers need to eat and pay rent.

Wer keine Waffen besitzt muss tun was diejenigen mit Waffen wollen.

Blockparteien 2.0

The design presentation never referenced any analytics data being used.

Also analytics data is not a replacement for good design.

Integration with macOS and features like synchronization with iOS/iPhone or generating new iCloud mail addresses.

I always use other browsers in parallel. Sadly they typically fail to adhere to macOS UI conventions or don’t integrate as well across devices.

I use Waterfox (Firefox fork) as a secondary browser because of the more powerful extensions. Other than that usability and OS integration is worse.

Camino used to a be a good Mozilla/gecko browser back in day. Sadly it was abandoned a long time ago.

The screenshots show the same functionality.

Gestures like pinch to zoom or swiping photos are easier with touch. Drawing a shape or writing a signature are another thing.

Multitouch is something a mouse can’t do at all. Macs have quite a nice set of gestures that can be used with the touchpad. A touch screen could use similar gestures.

For laptops touch screens are useful. Especially on convertible laptops, that transform into a tablet when folding over the screen completely. Also when you’re using it with more than one person at the same time.

For desktops, I don’t really see much of a benefit. Apple’s touchpads are pretty nice for that use case. I used to have a mouse on the right and a touchpad on the left of my keyboard.

Apple has completely failed to build a great convertible laptop for many years now. Windows laptops do it somewhat okay, but this is the product category where Apple could actually build something great. Apple Pencil on a convertible MacBook would fly off the shelves.

Since Tim Cook’s reign started there has been little vision regarding product design.

Apple should go beyond iOS, iPadOS, macOS to a unified operating system with an adaptive UI. I want to connect my phone with an M-series chip inside (or watch) to a thunderbolt hub and have a full desktop experience. iOS/iPadOS are too neutered. macOS is too neglected. VisionOS is a dead end toy.

I don’t want synchronization between four devices, I want one device that does everything and connects to various peripheries.

Leopard was peak Mac OS X.

Any recommendations?

Lots of programmers are autists and dont like new information.

Das ist ein extrem optimistischer Zeitplan.

LiMux hat es nie geschafft alle nötigen Aufgaben zu erledigen. Es ist an sich selbst gescheitert.
