@PeterSanchez lol everything hitler did was legal. have fun with your bootlicking.

why does the creative cloud installer need root? these are fundamentally apps that read and manipulate and write local files, and sometimes talk to the network. nothing about that requires privileged access. apple should come down on this practice.

@Hyolobrika@mstdn.io you know what it means

@raphael you can say the same about the united states global imperialistic war and the people subjected to the taxation that funds it

@Soy_Magnus @icedquinn you're on mute now, feel free to reply as much as you want.

it's pretty amazing conceptually that the "tesla" brand/word has not meaningfully changed in years, yet the actual practical implementation of what that word means (specifically, multiple insane gigafactories scaling production up 5-10x from before) is like apples to oranges

@Soy_Magnus shhhhhhh adults are talking

@Hyolobrika@mstdn.io that's fine too, people who don't like it can start companies that don't use it, or refuse to work at companies that do. amazon's workers are unionizing, for example. i read that story years ago, please miss me with the reply guy move

the fact that the richest person in the world also appears to be the person delivering the most productive and irreplaceable value in the world seems to me as an indicator that the system is working as it should

i wonder if people will look back at us spending person-centuries folding clothes manually the same way we look back at people spending person-centuries washing clothes by hand in the river

@arh@smallcamp.art yeah i'm set on computers for the moment, i have all of the latest/fastest cutting edge chips either here or on order

@arh@smallcamp.art monitors are only for computers i sit at, computers i don't sit at don't need monitors

I bet the Ax chip in the new studio display uses the same update/iboot mechanism as all of the iphones and Mx macs, so software updates on it will leak your IP (and thus city-level location)+unique serial to apple, plus probably its pairing with your computer's serial.

@arh@smallcamp.art for computers i'm sitting at? macos 12.

lol studio displays aren't available for apple in-store pickup in my US metro until 4th of july

and they say apple never pre-announces products

does the "adaptive sync" support in macos 12.x speak g-sync or freesync?
