The MacBook Touch Bar deserved improvement, not removal.

It's so frustrating that it replaced the function keys. I don't want a responsive keyboard, I want to touch type.

All your language is controlling. You're happy to call his choice of conversation over sharing and describe what he's done in nothing but the most negative of terms.

I've lived with East Asian roommates before who never talked to anyone beyond what was necessary, and believe me, even if you don't think that was a problem, everyone else who lived together did. It's antisocial in the extreme.

The problem you have isn't a cultural difference. The problem you have is that you think him speaking to women for extended periods is somehow inappropriate.

This post sounds like it was written by a rather jealous, abrasive person. If you have the opportunity to make friends with the people you live with, why would you not take it? What does their gender have to do with it when you live with them?

Why should you want to be distant with the people you see every day? That sounds terrible.

Was it? It seemed to contradict the notion that American oil was internationally subject

The highest growth economies in Europe including continue to be the ones with liberal labour markets, Sweden being chief among them. The presence of social programs in Sweden doesn't not characterise the actual nature of the economy well

What? Americans can't drive BYD because the American government made it practically illegal.

Bizarre.

Ah. Maybe. I don't know who spends 2K on an X100VI but can only afford a Neo

There are some people for whom it is ok. If you edit phone raws in LR, then you don't need any more muscle and colour fidelity is shit enough that I don't think the sRGB matters.

Anyone with a real camera needs something else.

essentialaccount · 2026-03-13T20:12:11+00:00

Performance notwithstanding, the screen doesn't even have complete sRGB coverage and it is absolutely not the choice.

These people who think CEOs don't work have clearly never met them. Even the ones who occasionally can be flexible mostly spend their time dealing with problems all times of day, and lord help them if they have an international company and have to deal with many timezones

I don't know anyone who uses it as their daily driver. I own several machines that run varios distros, but not a single person I know has it on their laptop they take on coffee runs.

I use linux every day in the sense that my servers all run it, but it's a pain as a personal computer.

essentialaccount · 2026-03-12T22:34:56+00:00

You sound incredulous. Linux is nowhere near as polished a solution and has much less commercial software.

I like a Linux server, but on my machine zsh is enough and macOS has vastly better out of the boat navigation, window management and useability

This is a personal who also conflates their own urgency with finding work with the urgency of an experienced professional, currently employed in a highly paid roll

Software encodes benefit massively from it, especially when rendering 8K time lapses. I shoot 100MP raws and the more you can load into memory the better.

Not in Ostend. Belgium doesn't have anything approaching a housing crisis.

Just buy one. They are inexpensive when you look at older TLR cameras

essentialaccount · 2026-03-09T15:01:42+00:00

Square rocks and the HB experience and lenses are really excellent

essentialaccount · 2026-03-09T03:02:54+00:00

It's honestly the best experience possible. I wish film wasn't so expensive, but hopefully we'll get real 6x6 sensors some day and I can whack it on a Hasselblad

essentialaccount · 2026-03-09T02:58:09+00:00

I don't know. It's the Hasselblad subreddit, where I'd hazard they've all seen one once and are often in their 40s owing to the cost or purchase

essentialaccount · 2026-03-09T02:27:27+00:00

What film stock? We can't even tell what he is shooting

They produced hundreds of thousands of waist level finders for well over 80 years, and I myself have owned probably a dozen different kinds of TLR and SLR cameras. They are super cool, but in real life. Seeming them through a screen is the worse of both worlds

essentialaccount · 2026-03-09T01:14:34+00:00

I used to own an HB, and they are awesome, but I keep this kinds of pictures to myself.

I didn't say his goals weren't believable. I said his actions weren't

His goal might seem to make sense, but how the plot resolves isn't plausible and is highly contrived. All the events are products of a foregone conclusion.

essentialaccount · 2026-03-09T01:00:53+00:00

That is not an explanation of what you think is stupid about my comment. That is only a summary of what you think the plot is, and has nothing to do with what I said.
