I recently visited a museum and i really loved it. Getting up close to an image and seeing none of the fuzziness, no AI "shimmer" on photos and every stroke made sense (as in you could see that an arm moved a brush and you could see the path it took etc.). Hands made sense. And while tryptichons were not exactly precise when it comes to the anatomy of humans, no humans had anything smeared etc.

Microsoft still makes money off the OEM licenses AFAIK. The Linux community had a whole day about this back in the 90s.

Antivirus is not enough! Use Protegent!

I prefer the 32 bit signed integer underflow in my favor.

You know i think i understand companies sometimes but then i keep being baffeld at how evil a company can be.

Apple for example had me surprised with the reaction to the DMA and i previously thought that they couldn‘t possibly suck harder wirh alö their anti-repair stuff.

I still have a bone to pick with Tim Cook himself for rendering my well working Mac Mini 2012 unusable for my app development job by simply not updating Xcode and introducing a breaking change that prevented me from adding support for new iOS versions to old Xcode.

To think there was a time when IMO Apple could convince people with great products.

(Macintosh SE explodes in the background due to overheating)

Then again i‘ve mostly seen old Apple computers on Youtube.

Don‘t forget the Core Technology Fee they will raise if you do wish to offer your app outside of the app store and you weren‘t qualified for the Apple Developer Enterprise program.

And don‘t forget that in order to be eligible for sideloading you have to have at least one million downloads on the App Store.

And don‘t forget that your app still has to go through the App Review process so you have exactly no additional freedom if you live in the european economical area.

I sure hope the EU keeps kicking Apples ass. I love iOS but i hate the lack of freedom.

Btw, does anyone know whether visionOS even supports sideloading in the EEA.

I wonder why ad tech can‘t be „Let‘s show ads that correspond to what‘s being talked about on that website.“ Kinda like what Google suggested with Topics but without following me through the internet.

 

Hello lemmings,

I am not exactly a fan of soap dramas, however through regular visits at my moms place i end up watching these shows (specifically the german shows "Alles was zählt" and "Gute Zeiten, Schlechte Zeiten").

Until this year, the drama was worth it because Doctor Who aired inmediately after and i think Donna Noble, Martha Jones, Clara Oswalt etc. are much more entertaining.

Over time i've noticed that the plots have become much more dramatic. Schemes have become much more schemey, crimes have been commited and became more crimey and the drama has become seemingly constantly more dramatic.

Now my question is: Am i mistaken with my impression? Is there a name for this drama creep? Does this also happen to other long-running soap dramas where you live?
