Programmer in 40’s. Applied for one job. Immigrated. A lot of people just assume it is too hard and use that to excuse not trying. Perhaps you are, but those who aren’t, go for it.

Are visas for childbearing a thing? I immigrated as a skilled worker, but I don’t remember any checkboxes for women willing to be broodmares.

What an ignorant thing to say. I don’t agree with their position on the supernatural, but my generalization ends at their truth claims.

There are many good Christians, good Muslims, good pagans, good satanists, etc. And many bad among them too. Because good and evil is a different axis than theism and atheism. Nice though it would be if everything were so neatly orthogonal.

Imagine if Microsoft banned Windows users from downloading software outside the Microsoft store.

Imagine if Microsoft required all Software developers to give them 30% of their income or be banned from Windows

They were replying to the comparison to Windows. What are you on about?

Sure, Jan.

That was comparing desktop OS to mobile OS, which is why the person to which I replied pointed out this is different than macOS.

On your second point, neither is iOS a workstation, and one could just as easily say, “The only thing you’d want to install is mobile apps.” Okay but the problem isn’t the type of apps, it is the source of those apps. So either you should be able to get application / games from multiple sources or not.

If you think those initial downvotes were due to some pedantic distinction about workstation, and not because somebody indirectly implied that Microsoft and Apple were on similar footing in this regard, fine.

Not terrible people. At least the owner / one of the operators is a pretty awesome man.

That this completely true observation has twice the downvotes than upvotes highlights this community’s views on Apple.

Requires Windows to apply? Easily in the “nope” pile. Which is a privilege, I realize.

It is better than Recall along a few axes. It doesn’t send communications off device without specifically requesting it. It computes as required in isolated environments. And most importantly, the goal as far as we can tell is for information and toys, not for logging all the actions taken on your phone.

I’m not trying to be a fanboi here, but even if Apple Intelligence is bad… Recall is much much worse.

There are three voting conditions. Red, blue, no vote (generally, discounting third parties). That means non vote is half as impactful as an opposite vote. So they are about half as guilty.

Friends don’t let friends surf unprotected.

Which ones?
