Have you seen the typical Linux zealot lol

Was Safari for Windows a good, bad, or average product?

Apple professional management have run the company down with their many foolish decisions. Feels similar to how Microsoft became worse annd worse after XP.

You can see when they started getting hired after the shift. Where they were taught that as long as your department is doing well and has positive numbers, LITERALLY nothing else matters. The company could be crashing and burning around you, you might even be causing it, but as long as those numbers are going up, you'll quickly get hired at another company. Because every single iota of their education is about pleasing investors who only care about money now, and not potential money in a few years.

After W2K I didn't like XP all that much, it felt slower and was too "Chinese-looking" (how it could be said in my language in those years). Now I'm nostalgic over chromecore aesthetic and that look, silver Game Boy, silver PS2, silver SW Phantom Menace interiors. Or matte black as an alternative, too looking very cool. Or at least that "normal" matte white. But in UIs - XP felt a bit too much, tiring for my eyes. Still, XP with default blue theme and jump-to-lightspeed wallpaper is what home and nostalgie are for me.

As in "Chinese means cheap, but low-quality and probably a toy". Such things were indeed mostly produced in China, so. It's rather that back then you'd sometimes have better things, now everything is like this.

If you have a long-term view and want to make quite a lot of money you probably couldn't do better than shorting Apple stock. They never innovate anymore (every iPhone is literally the same as the previous years), and they spend huge amounts of money on failed projects (Vision Pro), meanwhile they continue not to fix ongoing serious issues (Safari).

I mean you do have a messaging problem. Your leadership has received bad messaging about what "AI" can do!
schrieb am 24. Juni 2025, 12:04 zuletzt editiert vonIf they are anything like the leadership at my company they have received plenty of information about what AI can do from that IT, but you see they went to this convention in Las Vegas and some self-styled "business guru" told them everything they wanted to hear.

Have you seen a Windows zealot?
Yeah me neither
schrieb am 24. Juni 2025, 20:53 zuletzt editiert vonI have, quite a few in fact. Recently I got into a discussion with someone who was complaining about how bad Linux was because installing it from scratch took an extra ~20 minutes of configuration to set up drivers, meanwhile his Windows systems "just work". What he didn't mention, though, was that his Windows systems that "just worked" were pre-build machines that came pre-installed with Windows, in other words the manufacturer already did the hard part of getting all of the drivers installed ahead of time and baked into the image. Turns out he had never actually installed Windows on a bare-metal system before and had to deal with the absolute fucking nightmare Windows driver management is, so he had no basis for comparison, of course he refused to recognize that as a possibility though.

I'd be willing to literally bet everything I own that AI will not be gone anytime soon. It's absurd to even think that we would ever go back to pre-llm world unless a world ending event happens.

Meanwhile in my company the leadership just thinks that we have a messaging problem after the new AI stuff we implemented made absolutely no difference in the sales numbers.
schrieb am 25. Juni 2025, 05:01 zuletzt editiert vonI'm surprised they at least know they have a problem. I would think these companies would just say "look how the sales numbers haven't changed, that means that we were correct in doing the AI thing. Without it, sales would be sinking into the ocean!"
