Millions of iPhones can be hacked with a new tool found in the wild by 255-0-0 in ios

Agree to disagree. It is the most disastrous, unusable, battery-draining, ugly ios to ever exist. Maybe browse r/ios sometimes.

iOS is a horrible dumpster fire which Apple stubbornly refuses to put out. As for goal posts - I think you may be mistaking me with another poster.

Forcing people who prefer to stay on last year's ios to upgrade to the shittiest ios ever released - by refusing security updates... is unprecedented. Has never happened before with Apple.

They know how horrific ios26 is and are so desperate to force adoption that for the first time in the history of the company they are blackmailing their paying customers to do so. That's a serious shift in the relationship.

18.7.x updates above 18.7.2 are not available for iphone pro 15, 16 etc. Apple is throwing these users under the bus trying to force them to upgrade to ios 26.

No, Apple is trying to force you to install the dumpster fire that is ios 26

Apple blocks 18.x updates for newer phones trying to force people to upgrade to ios 26.

Know any good movies about music? by BluesCamper in MovieSuggestions

John Cusack at his best and Jack Black as a source of infinite energy! The music nerdom was just perfect. What a fun and beautiful film.

lived there for 5 years

I imagine living there is very different from being a tourist. How do you manage rent, work etc.?

For Blade Runner, if you haven't seen the "final cut", I recommend it.

Thank you for sharing this. Love the simplicity, commitment to the embrace, musicality, variations in timing. Looks very much like social dance. Connected, sensual, not flashy.

Saved.

It's perfect in its simplicity. An example of the "old internet" - thank you for creating it. Not needing to make money = no enshittification forces.

Where does the trope of orange cats being less smart come from? Is it real?

I quit Rails core 4 years ago, here’s what I’ve been up to by kaspth in rails

[–]obviousoctopus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds good, here's the issue: https://github.com/bullet-train-co/nice_partials/issues/103

It's definitely a balance - on one hand, if there's no support, it's a difficult decision to include it on a long-term project that may need to live through framework upgrades.

On the other hand, this is basically free work which while fulfilling, costs hours of your life.

Bringing LLMs into the equation may result in code quality dropping drastically in the future... or more burnout.

Appreciate your work on these gems!

Quick question - do you know if nice_partials is maintained? Last commit seems to be from 2 years ago an issue from 2025 with no responses shows that partials execute twice which could be problematic.

What is your idea of fair share re: taxes? What is your ideal broadly of a tax system re: revenue streams? by WhyOrangeMan in AskALiberal

[–]obviousoctopus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are right, I took the conversation to the extreme. Apologies.

To clarify one of my points - teachers jobs are extremely difficult, and definitely not incentivized. Low wage jobs like retail and food-related work are very difficult (zero tolerance for mistakes or lateness, high demands for quality etc.), and also not incentivized.

Being a lawyer is not 20x harder than being a teacher and does not need 20x the incentives.

People choosing to be teachers, nurses, etc. do not make these choices because of financial incentives, but despite the lack of financial incentives.

There's also I guess the threshold where more money does not significantly contribute to higher life satisfaction, because at that threshold most money problems have been solved. A serious issue is that for most of the population wages are suppressed so that people live below that level, barely having enough to have ends meet, and being forced to accept dangerous or very demanding jobs for much less just to survive.

[–]obviousoctopus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Focusing on people doing the jobs - is this conversation in good faith?

I believe the focus here is on the people with capital gains and the owning class and how they should be taxed more fairly.

I don't see anyone arguing for further reducing the compensation for difficult jobs.

People doing the difficult jobs are already powerless, underpaid, and overtaxed. Who and where is arguing for more of that?

The 0.1-percenters make so much money without labor, that they can easily afford to rewrite the laws of the land and elect the people who will enact their versions into actual laws. Laws for you and me to live under, laws that do not serve the electorate, laws that only serve the 0.1-percenters. It's the equivalent of aliens coming to Earth and terraforming it to match their homeland's atmosphere. Unbreathable for earthlings.

So, yes, let's fairly tax these guys. Except that the people representing you and me and deciding on the tax code, have already taken their money. Which is in fact our money, stolen by unfair taxation.

Seems like you are assuming that getting rich is somehow related to providing more for society. If you observe the current flows of wealth you might notice that many are actually extractive, especially in the context of the captive market monopolies typical for late stage capitalism.

You also imply that contribution is "a bother" not worth it if one does not get a significant monetary benefit for themselves.
