I don't see that, I don't pay for it and I have an adblocker.

You may want to check if it has a "fusion drive" (hdd with small ssd cache), or an ssd.

IIRC, old macs with hard drives used non standard temperature sensors on the hard drives (instead of on cpu/gpu). When not running MacOS, the computer hardware couldn't tell what the temperature was, so it would run the fans at full speed just to be safe. It could get quite loud.

You might want to do some research on that particular model to see if it would be affected.

They're getting spammed with the AI stuff.

Corps who would rather have AI looking images instead of using stock photos love the AI stuff.

I've been pushing everyone else to photopea.com which is photoshop sans-ai in the browser.

The distinction:

Piracy is an availability problem.

Taking someone else's art and passing it off as your own is taking credit for someone else's work and severs all connections between artist and consumer.

I'd rather use Fork than deal with git's terrible UI.

It's free in the same sense as sublime text (you're free to "evaluate" it with all features for free as long as you want, then pay when you want).

But it's only macos and windows.

Before:

• Gnome 2 was great
• Gnome 3 was terrible
• KDE 4 was terrible

Today: KDE.

Why not Gnome:

• It's missing basic features.
• General new users startup is:
  • searching online to try and fix things
  • 50% chance of it working.
  • 50% chance of it not working because the fix doesn't work on your version of gnome and having to find another fix
• Common recommendation for missing features (to use extensions) is a non-starter since the extensions break after every update, so every update you need to go back through the general new users startup steps above.

Why KDE:

• It has all the basic features by default, and a bunch of extra stuff.
• General new user process is:
  • looking through settings and changing the 2-3 they care about
  • looking through features, trying them out to see which ones you want to use, turning on/off the 2-3 you care about
  • Never needing to look through or remember the other settings, because your computer is already set up for you.

Future:

• Gnome: more of the same, likely basic features missing until specific people are removed (could be 5-10 years, then another few years of catching up).
• KDE: Will continue making updates and consolidating similar features where it makes sense.
• Cosmic: Will continue sanding off rough edges and fill in last remaining missing features. Will probably surpass Gnome for 90% of user's needs in a year. Will probably be trading blows with KDE in 3 years and will surpass them if KDE ever makes any missteps.

No, that was Fish who made Fez, announced Fez 2, then crashed out after some poor communication on his part and left.

Good.

If you didn't write the code, then you didn't think through every detail.

If you didn't think through every detail, then you have gaps in your understanding.

If you have gaps in your understanding, then why are you submitting code and pushing the burden onto someone else to understand it for you?

What makes you think they'd want to accept that burden?

What's with all the complaints here?

New users expect middle click to bring up an auto-scroll widget instead of pasting by default.

You can set up your computer how ever you want.

Want auto-scroll? Set it to auto-scroll.

Want paste? Set it to paste.

The first thing you do on a new system is set up the computer how you want.

No one's taking anything away from you.

That's 41 degrees for everyone who doesn't measure things in bird per gun.

Github has always had being a job site be it's secondary feature.

Except that it has a slightly higher bar of entry to recruiters and recruitment bots spreading toxic positivity, and anyone asking for a job is able to prove (at least some of) their value by showing off their code and how they participate publically in other repos (if at all).

cURL was one of these for a while (according to my limited understanding)

It was made in the 90s and it didn't get commercial support until a few years ago.
