Re:Prepare for changes to macOS Server 5.7.1 on Monday October 01, 2018 @08:20PM (#18117885)
My understanding is that internally when they have tasks that their own hardware isn't appropriate for they use a combination of Linux and macOS running on commodity PC hardware. They have an internal version of macOS for the commodity PCs. The person who told me hinted they got machines from a big name vendor like Dell or HP. I was informed of this in a discussion about AR and VR. Basically we all asked how Apple even did work on this internally when their own machines clearly had some issues with that sort of workload. This was like six months ago and related to speculation about showing the new Mac Pro at WWDC 2018, which didn't end up happening.
This is part of the plot of the Greg Egan book, Diaspora.
Re:Mmm, Pi-hole on Wednesday September 26, 2018 @12:22PM (#18077530)
Pi-hole is so important to me that I am unwilling to use the web without it. I also will not use Microsoft Windows without it. The Mozilla DNS over HTTP project concerns me because of this. If DNS over HTTP becomes the default for most software then I will have a serious problem.

Don't bother trying to tell me this will be optional. Absolutely nothing will make me trust you after the MR. Robot incident. I would cut off two fingers to use Safari on Linux and Windows.

It isn't false outrage. If you don't care that your users want you to stop you should get out of development.

Really sickens me to read that they didn't acknowledge the prior work. It would break my heart to be in this position, but then to not even get credit is just too much.
I cannot recommend this enough. I loved playing this with my dad when I was a kid.
Seeing a post about the decline of the Apple product line is like a daily ritual on this site now.

When the gap between products was short the Apple secrecy could be fun and exciting. That is no longer the case. Now I just feel like they have contempt for me.

What really scares me about the chans is that during the government shutdowns the anti-black posts completely stopped. /pol/ is normally littered with them as well as other kinds of racist garbage, but it was the black ones alone that just vanished. After the shutdowns they returned immediately. Who on earth is being paid to do this and why?
I read that as Saloon at first and now I am so disappointed.
Trump may have doomed us to an endless flood of celebrity politicians. I despise Zuckerberg but other celebrity candidates scare me more. If we must have a tech mogul I would prefer Gates or Cook.
