Well, you know, Apple invest so much into development

It's certainly true of the "average user" problem, but the stealth style update is concerning.
IANAL, however IIRC delete a device data is effectively destruction of evidence under most jurisdictions.

again IANAL but be careful.

This post is an extraordinarily tone deaf piece of Holmes apologia ... I wonder if there's a preexisting relationship or other link to Holmes and this no-body, because this is just propaganda at this point.
How many are insane? That's more important to me than age.

A lunatic, who's also clearly stupid is a far more pressing concern.

Israel, USA both seem to be suffering from exposure.

Just for those who hadn't noticed in the last 40~ years. Apple has a pricing algorithm which is very very simple.

1. Take the assumed market price.

2. Double it.

Poor poor Adobe, they only want to make you pay $20 a month, for an app which hasn't substantially changed in any useful way since the early 2000s...

If they take legal action and I hope they SCO themselves, along with the rest who treated the customer base with utter contempt, for at least 20 years.

I hear ~~the Harkonnen~~ Amazon are hiring.

Passkeys are crap, use them if you are stupid.

- Never underestimate the effectiveness of school yard persuasion.

Suppose that we hit the body with a tremendous, whether its ultraviolet or just very powerful light. Supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can either through the skin or in some other way… It’s a great thing to look at.
Also I agree. Let's not waste them though. Farmers need fertilizer, animals need a cheap source of protein.

The answer is in both cases, 100x slower.
It's in the group of statements which begin: "I think what God meant to say..." (and that target audience)

That'll teach me not to scan the article before posting.

Really should include Emacs lisp, as it's a something many in academia happen upon for LaTeX or some other side use.

While Emacs Lisp is confined to the editor, it also shows that the Editor is not that, and much has been said of it as an OS, an Application Platform, and so on.

Since about 1992, I've used it as platform for many things as well as a general purpose text editor I couldn't initially figure out how to quit.

I'm sure many here are more fervent about Emacs, living in the terminal switched to living in Emacs for a lot of folks... that's really a testament to the usability gravity of an integrated computing platform with Lisp as it's only scripting language.

ymmv of course

Still I for one am grateful for any STT transcription models.
