@MichaelAArouet Geography and climate. Very different set of opportunities and challenges creates very different set of skills and culture. True for the entire world. Most visible in Europe. Everywhere in Europe.

Neuroplasticity thrives in the face of happiness, not addiction.

@_freedom_trader @TennisCentel True. Pasta is disgusting. I always eat my strawberries with rice.

@TennisCentel Strawberry pasta? It sounds even worse than pineapple on pizza! You can’t ask us not to hate you for this 🤪

Iga Swiatek after winning Wimbledon: "Well, I just received a text from the Italian Open tournament director and he said cause I won they will be adding strawberry pasta to the menu next year. I hope Italians don't hate me."

@SWAGDAD80 @TennisCentel lol, something does not have to be gourmet to taste good

@TennisCentel The most foolish thing I’ve ever heard…. When you eat something because there’s nothing else to eat, doesn’t make it gourmet..

@Danidilo2 That is because there was no Top10 player in her part of the draw. Oh, wait....

Iga won Wimbledon without facing any top 10 player?

@c_tolkien @rauchg @TheTJKennedy Ah gotcha! So like ideological diversity. Good point. Still better than apple trash. They do a better job at customizing your experience, especially with adds and navigation.

@hattiza @rauchg @TheTJKennedy They are all Safari under the covers. Apple doesn't let other browser engines in.

Google Chrome ending up in the wrong hands due to DOJ intervention could be catastrophic for the open web and backfire entirely. Few organizations in the world meet the bar of having 1️⃣ the web’s best interests in mind, 2️⃣ the technical infrastructure and know-how, and 3️⃣ the immense required funding. Working on a browser involves two main areas: the engine and its frontend, like a car’s engine and its chassis & dashboard. Google has done a *phenomenal* job on the engine, which is one of the absolute hardest technical undertakings in the world, and curiously enough is actually fully open source. Blink, Chrome’s engine, is BSD and LGPL licensed, developed in the open, and powers so many of Google’s competitors, including Microsoft Edge, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi, Browser Company’s Arc/Dia, and dozens of others at no cost. It’s absolutely essential that this work stays uninterrupted, while we continue to invest as a community in engine diversity, including projects like @ladybirdbrowser of which I’m a proud backer. And Blink is just one piece, in charge of rendering. Google has built and open sourced many other crucial engine components like the V8 JavaScript engine, Skia, PDFium, Cronet, and many others, bundled as part of the open Chromium distribution. The complexity of what makes a modern browser work is truly staggering. Thank you Google. The DOJ is taking particular issue with the engine’s frontend, the actual thing consumers download and interact with. This is where Google has the unique privilege to package and distribute the open source engine components, and impose arbitrary rules and configurations on top, like search engine defaults, AI assistance models, telemetry capture, login / accounts integration, settings and history sync, Web Store rules (like which ad blockers can be distributed), etc. At the scale Google is operating and the power it confers, scrutiny and caution here is warranted. I believe, however, that the best path forward will be an incremental one, maintaining the careful balance of a browser frontend that has the everyday internet citizen’s best interests in mind, while not disrupting the investment and support of such crucial open internet infrastructure that benefits us all.

@rauchg @TheTJKennedy ??? I have 4 browsers on my iPhone. How exactly are you restricted?

@TheTJKennedy Google created a massively successful browser and OSS engine. Customers have browser choice. Every time I get a mac, I choose to install Chrome. I'm way more concerned about the lack of engine choice in iOS. Why are we not focusing on Apple, which restricts users' freedoms?

@BowTiedMara @levelsio Same with Finland. Content, is the best you could call it there.

@levelsio Kind of weird that Uruguay is apparently “most happy” in South America while also having the highest suicide rate in Latin America. Most of these happiness scores are 100% bs imo

You have to live in Southern Europe to really see what's going on here beyond "well it's nice to be here on my holiday" I live here Even a super mixed and non-homogenous country like the United States with all of its income inequality, homelessness and problems scores higher in happiness than any Southern Europe country It's pretty great to be here if 1) you're on holiday for 2 weeks or, 2) you're local and left then got rich abroad and came back or, 3) you're rich and moved here But for many locals here (esp youth) life is generally hard and the vibe is depressed and pessimistic, not happy which is why they all leave

@pnwish619 @slateauto @Scout_Motors @Rivian To each their own. I think it is super cute.

@slateauto Who’s the people? This is ugly. @Scout_Motors and @Rivian have you beat.

@Rainmaker1973 🥱🥱🥱 size and population density overlay? no? wonder why

@levelsio Just trash it. @AnkerOfficial all the way

Steve Jobs would have made that adaptor black

@reallyoptimized @TheSnayke @MikeBotkin_ @UPS @Apple Oh gosh! Lol, like we are in the 1950s and air travel is a luxury. I can somewhat relate. I was not able to pay my mortgage when I was on vacation. Had to subscribe to VPN to do it. Luckily it worked, but so ridiculous.

Crazy. Has anyone heard or has this happen before? I ordered a new iPad from @Apple Delivery scheduled today via @UPS UPS driver knocks on my door and tells me this…. Then tells me that some guy flagged him down on the road (a few min away from my house) and told UPS driver he has a package for him (me), and he will take it, he’s in a hurry and needs it for work. The UPS driver confused, tells him he has to deliver it to the address, and keeps going. Driver gets in his car and follows him to my house, as the UPS driver gets out of van, the guy goes up to his door and says he needs it now, pulls out an ID to show him. The UPS driver made him sign for it and gave it to him. (Didn’t look at ID bc not required). The guy takes the package, gets in his car, and speeds away. UPS driver suspicion is now high, walks up to my house to verify and see what’s going on. To his surprise/fear - I walk out and confirm yes, I am me. …. Now we are waiting on police. …. Fact 1: This guy knew my name and my address and that I had a package being delivered today. SUPER scary. What do we think the probabilities are? 1. My email or Apple account is ‘hacked’? 2. UPS system is hacked 3. Apple is hacked?

@BouttellSean @MikeBotkin_ @UPS @Apple Pretty sure Apple chooses the delivery service

@reallyoptimized @MikeBotkin_ @UPS @Apple Oh we would, do tell !

Corporate logic. All that is needed is allowing signature for anyone INSIDE the delivery, or verify ID in all other circumstances. @ups had a chance to improve their process, make good by the customer and get some karma points and good publicity, but they chose to be corporate bafoons detached from reality.

Update 1. Filed police report 2. @UPS COMPLETED the delivery, and told me he had to do and to file a report with UPS. < NOW, I am arguing with @Apple that it was stolen and it was not “completed”> 3. Now I have to file a report with @UPS , how tf do I do that? “Umm, your driver handed my package to somebody else and then hit complete on delivery” 4. waiting on word from @Apple 5. Police said I will have to file a public records request to get the police report to send to anyone. ‼️

@linuxiac Fedora? Make it make sense.

@levelsio I love to hate on Windows but €200 ? You arent even trying.

I don't know why any of you use Windows It's such a terrible experience

It's 2 hours later and I'm still busy setting up Windows in their wizard Absolutely terribly slow experience with way too many questions Thank god for Apple MacBooks
