Oh man, it’s so disappointing that people would downvote such a classy post. I mean, you found a polite way to say “I don’t want to have an argument”, and someone would down vote that?! Wild.

Right now you’re being a dick to someone, not the other way around. I just wanted to point that out, that he was being polite, explaining his point of view, and you’re basically suggesting he’s just to dumb to understand. That’s mean.

You could try smiling at people, making eye contact. If they quickly turn away, let them go, if they look back at you, you could say “hi”. It’s not exactly letting them come to you, but it’s also not at all aggressive or harassing, it’s just saying “hi”.

If you’ve already noticed something interesting about them, you could mention it. For instance, “those are cool earrings!” or “I love your t-shirt!”, or “What a cute dog! What’s their name?” If you’re insightful and actually noticed something they think is interesting about themselves, they might be inclined to strike up a conversation about it.

Capitalism is the woooooorst…

Sure, he wasn’t an engineer, so no, Jobs never personally “invented” anything. But Jobs at least knew what was good and what was shit when he saw it. Under Tim Cook, Apple just keeps putting out shitty unimaginative products, Cook is allowing Apple to stagnate, a dangerous thing to do when they have under 10% market share.

Wow, I have so much more context now. And honestly, it’s actually a lot funnier than I thought it was, thanks.

I guess a few agents get to slack off for a while rather than actually work. I know if I were in their position, I’d just be “following up on possible leads” for a while.

Honestly, for an FBI agent, it’s insulting to be asked to do special monitoring for an unelected official’s private business. They have more important things to do.

I wouldn’t know, I wasn’t forced to go ARM when I built that machine.

Officially, it didn’t, but actually it did. Officially it was the OS updates that made everything incompatible (and it did make more than half of my steam library incompatible) but it was those OS updates that were needed to support the new arm hardware.

So look at it however you want I guess, but there are a bunch of 4-15 year old games that run just fine on my windows PC, but no longer launch on my iMac. That’s not impressive backwards compatibility.

Oh yeah, render most of their already small software library incompatible for a 50% performance boost. It’s a sizable boost for sure, but not exactly looking at the big picture…

Die apple. All your innovation and vision died with Steve Jobs, now you’re a shambling corpse infecting everything you touch. Just die, it’s time…

Fuck closed off mobile stores, it’s all a scam.

Why are we ceding control over our personal computers to organizations who would limit our use of them?

If we have platforms capable of running arbitrary code then we should be able to do it.

It’s the money.

like in a store or on the street.

Well yeah, I think that’s part of what’s being said. I would say that in a store, or cafe is totally fine. On the street is a little weird, but in most public places it’s fine.

I’m pretty sure that’s called facebook. Have you ever added suggested contacts?. “Here are some people you might know”

Is that so? Will the chatbots help me pack a van when I need to move? Will they stand next to me at my wedding? I’m thrilled to hear that bots can finally replace friends! (Something the people have been clamoring for)

Who services the poop drones I ask you…

Some unlucky roboticist is stuck cleaning poop off treads, testing sensors and resoldering connections while wearing gloves and just hoping they don’t tear…

We can start farming these computers to feed our ever growing population. We just need to build a simulation they can live in, so they don’t get stale.
