What really gets me about some recent exposures like this is the level of developer involvement that has to come with them.

I used to work at FB over a decade ago. While the *company* made questionable choices, I feel like everyone I worked with would have absolutely balked at being told to track people using the dirtiest tricks they could find. Engineers generally set their own goals within the framework of a team.

This isn't "Oh, we were neglectful in not filtering false posts" or "Our algorithms ruined the world by making people utterly incapable of focusing" or anything else that can at all be explained by negligence rather than intent. This is just pure evil by a handful of my former colleagues

The upcoming release of macOS will be the final version of macOS that supports Intel based Macs.

Intel programs will continue to run on Apple Silicon Macs until September 2027.

For the first time I'm aware of, Apple has announced a timeline for security updates: Intel Macs will continue to receive security updates for 3 years, presumably after next November.

Historically, Apple has provided security updates for each version of macOS for just over 1000 days after its initial release, which matches up with their “3 years” promise.

We don't wanna go back to Windows but Mint keeps making the mouse unresponsive and that caused Us to lose some games of Overwatch, which is Our primary use of this computer :<

Definitely the worst thing about Windows is using \ backslashes as the path separators

So which hat should We eat?

Been using a different mouse for several hours now without issue.

Gonna go with "it actually was a massive coincidence that the mouse itself started dying at the same time We moved to Mint"

We're truly living in the future
