Just typical "programmer thinks they know how to do every job, especially the ones they've never done"

Good, glad human consumers are the only life on earth that could be affected

Given the track record of other things we introduced to the environment in mass quantities only to realize later were horrifyingly detrimental (CFCs and tetraethyl lead, etc) -- i think people are right that we should not take such a thing lightly

Not that it really matters, climate driven ecological collapse will probably make it irrelevant by the time it would matter

I think we avoid the whole "personality responsibility" and "these paper straws fucking suck" angle with water bottles and the like and instead focus on "do we need a factory in China making 15,000,000 plastic trinkets for happy meals" or "does literally every single item for sale on the entire planet have to come in plastic wrapping", etc

You'd trust a programmer to be your doctor? Or design the structure of your house?

Claude had Gemini review it

The menu icons are really annoying, especially because some apps don't have them, and everything looks off-kilter. Finder sidebar morphing as the window resizes, also annoying.

But you're right, it's still usable, unlike the window management.

Lucky for me i convinced my boss to buy me a PC about a month after they forced the Tahoe update on my old work MBP

I hear the phrase "you're holding it wrong" said sarcastically all the time, people remember antennagate

You remember the funny turn of phrase instead of how bad the reception was in your iPhone 4, and how it ruined the experience of owning it. Because it wasn't that big of a deal in the end.

Well no, I've never owned a iPhone, but me and clearly many others remember antennagate, and I'm sure the same many of us will remember liquid glass

So you think people are building their own laptops?

I'm sorry to break it to you but Apple scanning credit cards will not stop your daughter or me or anyone else getting dick pics
