  • As it's name implies, it's a crime. As such it's not legitimate but it's also not a sin. It's up to each individual and his morality to decide if he wants to be a criminal or not and it's up to the society to stop criminal behaviors that have negative impact on it as a whole.

  • But all those articles about Boeing issues will get more people to drive. It's ironic how fighting for higher flying safety standards can kill people. The surplus in car crash fatalities in the months after 9/11 was higher than the number of passengers on all the planes involved.

  • Globalization. Exploiting developing countries, export jobs and environmental damage, hiding profits. Not so long ago corporations had to be careful not to shit where they eat. Now they can shit in Asia and eat comfortably in USA/Europe. Everyone lost on that.

  • So this is around 4MB less, right? The small app I'm currently working on is 15MB so with this change it will be 11MB. Nice but nothing revolutionary. It will have bigger impact on a really tiny apps. I guess that's why it wasn't resolved for so long.

  • I mean I always knew that Oscars were mostly about hype and not actual artistic value but getting offended that the most hyped movie of the year didn't get all the nominations is just weird. Mattel run multi-million, non traditional marketing campaign and got a lot of people exited about the movie. It doesn't say anything about the acting or directing in it.

  • You don't know what effort is needed to update an app for Vision Pro. For most apps it's probably just marking a checkbox in the XCode and releasing an update. What special features will you add to PCalc? It will just float in front of you like every other app. Do you need to write any special code to make it work on Vision Pro?

  • the kinds of apps that would actively benefit from this technology and that the users actually want and will use.

    Pre-installed apps optimized for Vision Pro:

     
            App Store
        Encounter Dinosaurs
        Files
        Freeform
        Keynote
        Mail
        Messages
        Mindfulness
        Music
        Notes
        Photos
        Safari
        Settings
        Tips
        TV
    
    
    
      

    Here’s a full list of third-party apps confirmed for VisionOS so far:

     
            Disney+
        Microsoft Excel
        Microsoft Word
        Microsoft Teams
        Zoom
        WebEx
        Adobe Lightroom
        Unity-based apps and games (titles TBC)
        Sky Guide
    
    
    
      

    Yeah, because when I use Safari, Notes and Word what I REALLY need is augmenter reality.

  • It's not 150 unique apps. The article says:

    It’s not just Netflix, Spotify, and YouTube that don’t have apps for Apple’s Vision Pro at launch.(...) As of this weekend, the AR/VR device’s App Store has just 150+ apps that were updated for the Vision Pro explicitly

    You can watch Netflix on the Vision Pro in a browser but they didn't create a specific app for it like for example for iOS. 150 other apps were updated to run on the device. We're not talking about apps that run only on Vision Pro, just apps that have specific Vision Pro version. It's like if when Apple released the iPad only 150 apps were tested, maybe slightly adapted and marked in AppStore as iPad compatible.

    150 is nothing. There are millions of apps in the AppStore, all (if not all, most) of them could be updated to run on the VisionPro and developers of only 150 bothered to do it. That's terrible result.

  • I generally don't care about going to the office, it's not a problem, but what my company did was to hire 3x as many people as before the pandemic and simply move to hot desk system instead of expanding the office. So now we have more people but less desks and less parking spots. We have to use some app to make reservations and it's just a constant struggle to book a desk so that I can sit next to guy I don't know talking on a video call all day. What's the fucking point?
