East Cleveland is an interesting place for sure. I have a client there and it’s definitely not in great shape. Their city government is definitely failing them in a big way, and they are also heavily impacted by the issue with suburbs in regards to tax revenue that much of metropolitan Cleveland has had to deal with. For those reading who aren’t up to speed on things, the city of Cleveland, by total landmass, is pretty small. Cuyahoga county itself is composed of 38 cities, 19 villages, and two townships which means that a lot of different areas grant themselves their own individual tax laws and guess what, they all feel like they are paying too much in taxes. So, they decide themselves that they get lower taxes, problem is, the tax revenue required has not actually decreased at all, in fact, by creating a new local government you have now increased the operating costs of your area. So really by having people move into these smaller suburbs you have really just created special groups of individuals who are wealthier, are a greater stress on county resources, and choose to pay less in taxes essentially bleeding the community dry. If you were to pull up a map of Cuyahoga county you will actually get a pretty good laugh. East Cleveland itself is the only outlier in this situation and it exists itself in a very complicated and sad situation that involves redlining, systemic racism, corporate greed and lack of regulation. Ironically its borders are surrounded by some of the wealthiest communities in the state.

Honestly the part that makes me the most upset about the situation is just how easy it is to solve.

Thanks for telling me the same thing people have been parroting for an eternity. Check out Occam’s razor

If research is determining otherwise then what would it take to convince you to accept this?

Maybe I’m missing something, what does this advocacy group stand to benefit from banning pitbulls? The NRA is backed by weapons manufacturers. This seems to be people who actually see a problem and are taking actions to help protect people.

And it’s all very well cited. Makes sense why an advocacy group exists for this

Yes how, sorry I use Swype and I’m a moron. They are compounding issues

Hope for MacOS not make the list? It’s probably the most gate kept thing that exists

I guess if you’ve only played with it briefly you could feel that way but it’s really not the case, especially when you consider convertibles. Fingerprints on the screen are no more of an issue on a laptop as they would be on your phone obviously. Apples only point for not supporting touchscreen doesn’t actually have anything to do with any of those factors actually, their reasoning is only related to maximizing revenue from the iPad as a convertible laptop well replace the need for a tablet. I mean you can stand around and say touchscreens are bad and uncomfortable but there is a reason they are so popular and used so commonly.

Windows has pretty great high dpi, Apple privacy is pretty awful and they hide everything they are doing, security is definitely getting worse on MacOS while the opposite is the case on Windows. And Apple still doesn’t super touchscreen which is an immediate deal breaker

Quick search shows only like 30 of developers as a whole use Mac’s and I’m sure share is lower there because I know plenty of devs using macbooks that are running Linux or Windows. If we are talking game developers as a whole then that percentage of osx devs is far far smaller than the general usage. Windows using devs still dominate as a whole, Linux is not far behind, MacOS is a very vocal yet, smaller in reality group.

He doesn’t say he has minimal telemetry, he actually says it’s a brand new laptop (from manufacturer) out of the box with nothing installed. What we are referring to above is with telemetry disabled in oobe.

You guys should try making your install media using Rufus

Sounds like an this days was based on “so like we asked people months after if they got the alerts and some people said they did and some people said they don’t remember so we counted that as no”

I remember when I was younger RC plane and helicopter community was all about doing night flights with lots of lights and other things on their vehicles. I remember seeing tricking stuff on the fronts of RC hobby magazines with guides on how to do it.

Apple definitely isn’t better as a company. Apple lobby’s the US government to ensure they can still use slave labor.

You think Apple is better than Meta? Meta is fucking awful but at least they aren’t lobbying the US government so they can keep using slave labor.

To be fair, had he lived longer then he would have received a Nobel prize for his work in astro physics in relation to gravitational collapse. This work would later become far more important than his other work as his contributions would lead to the discovery of black holes

That’s a prime example, well done!
