I understand the desire to disable Siri system-wide, but Spotlight? How else are you going to find your files?

I'm often annoyed how slow/unreliable Spotlight is, especially in Mail, but what's the alternative here?

What happens if the bubble bursts - can we still use all the powerful models to create all this code? Aren't all the agents effectively using venture capital today? Is this sustainable?

If I can run an agent on my machine, with no remote backend required, the problem is solved. But right now, aren't all developers throwing themselves into agentic software development betting that these services will always be available to them at a relatively low cost?

Wow what an interesting animal, haven't heard about it before.

> the chips are stacked against them.

Wikipedia says: "This reproductive method enables the asexual desert grassland whiptail lizard to have a genetic diversity previously thought to have been unique to sexually reproductive species."

Doesn't look to bad?

Funny to see the last screenshot of OS X from 2014 in the article. I would love to use a system with such a high contrast and information density. But I also remember very well how many users were upset with the most recent design changes at that time: The all caps section titles in the sidebar, and the gray icons that were previously colored.

"All other titles" would be just Braid, no?

New comment by kruuuder in "iOS 26.2 fixes 20 security vulnerabilities, 2 actively exploited"

kruuuder — Sun, 14 Dec 2025 18:38:23 +0000

Wow. I'm still on 18.7.1, saw the update to 18.7.2 yesterday (100% sure on this), but didn't want to install it at that moment as I needed the phone, and deferred the update to today.

Now I don't see any iOS 18 updates at all, only the iOS 26 prompts. What a dick move, Apple. Especially if this is a) a security update, and b) iOS 26 is known to run poorly on older phones like mine.

Thanks for the workaround!
