Yeah, it tends to be like "the article title has 'is' in the title, it's slop"

"Every single hardware device in an Apple silicon chip is different from its equivalent (if there is one) in Intel Macs"

There are no significant differences in virtualization hardware between Intels and ARMs, and certainly none described in that article.

Those stories would be accurate on BART in San Francisco. I used to ride that every day to/from work and at other times. The non-rush-hour times were the worst actually.

I've never lived in NYC, but from visiting, their subways seem safer (and also work much better).

The thing I still don't get is, US cities were populated long before autos were ubiquitous. How did this not cement public transport? The most famous case is how Los Angeles's Pacific Electric rail company ("Red Car") died off. It's often thrown around that the automobile industry made that happen through lobbying, but when I dug into it, their decline started in the 1920s, well before autos were common and LA had its big freeways like the 405.

I'm guessing it's just a population density thing. Cause supposedly the Red Car was a loss-leader for real estate development from the start.

Yeah a bunch of people promised me GIMP is just as good as Photoshop. Look I'm glad GIMP exists and thankful for the free software, but it's not even close to equal.

It's even weirder cause some of it was self-inflicted from making Macs very unfriendly to GPUs in various ways.

So what was Adobe supposed to do, make a worse product to give the other ones a chance?

Doesn't seem any worse than deciding whether paying a huge sum upfront is worth the value in the long run. The old way wasn't like that though, it was 90% of users pirating Adobe.

Yeah if the alternatives were actually better, we wouldn't hear all this complaining about Adobe's pricing. People want the best thing for free/cheap I guess.

You can already follow who you want on Twitter. The thing is, bots etc take their toll even on the good users.
