“Great, now let’s see California…” - Patrick Bateman

If you try to create a new iOS/macOS software project and sign it with a "com.apple." prefix in the bundle ID, Apple's system blocks it… for example.

It's pretty clear this type of ID'ing is an issue in general, unfortunately. Companies often protect themselves as a band-aid but not others in the same situations since the problems aren't frequent enough to warrant a design change. So, when it does become a problem, it could end up being a deep one.

are they vibe coding?

Vibe coding with Github copilot, no less

They do as the slop king Satya guides (yes).

He wants more “diffusion”. Slopya says “diffusion” so you better “diffusion”. They need AI…

DIFFUSION

This website is a great example of when I’d want to use reader mode in my browser and it also breaks that

is this necessary?

More than likely LINE was paying a lot of font licensing fees for some font usage somewhere and paying one time to develop this font will pay for itself. Corporate font announcements always crack me up because they try to make something incredibly mundane sound like high art. But this was probably a financial decision!

My question would be more like "how do you convince the shareholders that this expense is necessary?" Because I bet that for most people this is just Arial or whatever word uses

Been waiting for this

the sad thing about this is what made it magical before was the people that were on there, and it’s impossible to get that back now!

Yup, they can probably rebuild ICQ the way it was when I was 16 but they can't make me 16 again.

Hmmm… my wife constantly reminds me that I behave like a 16 y/o child. Perhaps ICQ should be reborn!

Also, it was a time when being “online” was an active state. Now we’re “online” passively 24/7.

Yes, this is it. "Logging on" and "Logging off" were explicit actions that you took as part of your day, instead of just being perpetually connected and reachable.

The internet used to live in a room.

what made it magical was us being younger. likewise, it's very likely impossible to get that back.

The invitation to join the project's Discord is magical. That's... where all your friends are now anyways.

same with IRC except IRC never went down.

no but apparently you can have some kind of coup on one of the most popular servers and cause a huge dent in it...

Ditto with Usenet albeit there's always cool people there.

... and never will :)

Spaceships bearing our genes will still beam IRC from somewhere down deep in engineering.-

What would be the purpose of launching a decaying lump of monkey meat into space when the AI can explore just as well with a tiny fraction of the mass requirements?

I'd wager that it will be AI's using IRC from space, but IPv6 still won't have replaced IPv4. :)

You are indeed totally correct on all points!

(But IRC it will be :)
