Nope. Not gonna happen.
Also, the mini is always vying with the Apple TV for the most perpetually non-updated thing in the entire product lineup. You can't reason from the mini to anything other bigger picture, because the mini has always been barely hanging on and neglected.
Anyway, one day I'll be debunking macOS on ARM rumors from the nursing home (assuming macOS is still around and hasn't been dropped for an iOS-only lineup).

The JS community is sadly a hotbed of this kind of project-destroying crusaderism. There's some of this in the Ruby world, as well, but it's not as widespread.
I have no doubt that "here is a list of evil people/companies that are not allowed to use our software" will catch on as a licensing thing. 🙄 I look forward to being formally prohibited from using a wide range of things on firearm-related projects.
In the present culture war, it seems that everything that can be weaponized will be weaponized. The only thing that has yet to be weaponized are literal weapons, but y'know give it a minute. 🤦‍♂️

He’s right but this is only half of it. Other half is they’ll appropriate left’s argument (made re: Russia) that social media manipulation is an attack on democracy, and recast ham-fisted moderation as RU-style attacks that delegitimize election results they don’t like.
This angle will be effective because it’s not entirely wrong, and we’ll all be arguing over the degree to which it’s an exaggeration.
If Trump were gone from office tomorrow, the battle over Russiagate would still be less than half over. We’re going to be fighting over what level of algo-and moderation-driven platform bias casts a cloud over election results for years.

I've come to the conclusion recently that I've not done a good enough job of talking about the 3D printed gun issue. I don't think anyone has really. There are too many smart, open-minded people who are like "yeah but these files are dangerous so how can u not want 2 delete them?
"Ok, so you convinced me that bad people cannot just print guns. Still, this stuff is bad so why should it not get deleted? Why should we not delete dangerous files and content from the 5 computers we all share?"

I've failed to give a good answer to this.
The problem is structural. The case for censoring these files can be summed up quickly & grasped by a five-year-old. The case against censoring them is complicated & requires specific knowledge in multiple domains.

Apple pulled Apollo from the App Store for charging for Push Notifications saying: provides

"your IAP subscription product provides access to built-in Push Notification capabilities, which is not appropriate for the App Store”
2/ Warning, I’m pissed.

This is f’ing bullshit trash. The IAP is for server-side push, but *even if it wasn’t this is trash*.

Apple is policing guys like us for this ticky tap crap when everyone making sustainable money is using scam IAP's.
3/ You’re allowed to scam people out of $150 with $3/week trick IAP screens that’s only option are “Continue” or “Subscribe” with a tiny X for close in the corner.

But you can’t charge for server-side push. NO!

At the Texas Tribune Festival in Austin. I’ve hardly slept, my bag got lost, I haven’t showered, I’m about to go see a panel on women in political power and to either break my heart or restore it
Wendy Davis will be there and also I am eating a breakfast taco, not everything is bad
I’m at a panel about blue wave vs. tsunami; interesting point from Dave Wasserman - rural areas in Texas have become more GOP, but the suburban areas that voted for Trump were never crazy about him, which is why the GOP reps are fighting for their political lives

😂NON POLITICAL😂😂😂THE WAR OF 1812 AT WALMART
Yesterday, I wore my Vietnam Veteran cap to Wal-Mart. There was nothing in
particular that I needed at the world's largest retailer; but, since I retired,
trips to "Wally World" to look at the Walmartians
is always good for some comic
relief.
Besides, I always feel pretty normal after seeing some of the people that frequent
the establishment.
But, I digress, . . enough of my psychological fixations.
While standing in line to check out, the guy in front of me,
probably in his early
thirties, asked, "Are you a Viet Nam Vet?"
"No," I replied.
"Then why are you wearing that cap?"
"Because I couldn't find the one from the War of 1812 . . ."
I thought it was a snappy retort.
"The War of 1812, huh?" the

Have you ever considered and pondered how truly screwed Liberals are???
Every single day they are losing thousands of democrats who are walking away. Why?? Because they are insane.
Just a small sample of some of things they're "fighting for".

I do this periodically, since followers come and go. Tomorrow the OIG report will be published. It should be a blockbuster day, although reading 500 pages will take a while. I know people are past being angry. They want arrests. Those are coming.
But I want to emphasize this, as I have in the past, because emotion sometimes overcomes logic. So, I’ll say it plainly. No one, and I mean NO ONE, is going to Guantanamo. There will NOT be any military tribunals. Why? Because we’re a nation of laws.
No matter how much you hate Hillary or Obama or any of the others, they are American citizens. They have the same rights that you do. They have the right to a jury of their peers. Military tribunals are NOT juries of your peers.

non-consensual sexual experiences don't usually occur because a man thinks, "well, time for me to be a criminal!" most happen because of men's deeply engrained beliefs that women ~know not what they want~ & "the chase" is sexy. but it's not!
reluctance from your sexual partner should be a red flag, and there shouldn't be a negotiation process where you keep asking until she's willing to participate in some sexual act. this should be common sense, but the person you're about to fuck should be truly eager to fuck you
understandably, men say they're counting on women to communicate when they're uncomfortable/disinterested. what men haven't realized is ~women already are~. if your definition of non-consent is a woman screaming & punching you, that's very convenient because it's not gonna happen
