<p>Well, they also still bought CD's they liked back then. Usually their favourite bands, or whatever. Even in the Napster/LimeWire days when <i>everyone</i> was doing it they always still seemed to buy their favourite artist's new CD's when they came out.</p>

<p>I am truly happy to see this as well.<p>As a woman who’s been extremely successfully poly for almost a decade, I feel like I fight against the grain whenever I am able to explain how well it works for myself and the other women I’m with…with various relationship styles in there.<p>It’s sad how skeptical and dismissive folks are, and how unwilling they are to see how it can work for some, but not all.<p>The lessons of radical honesty and communication skills that come from practicing polyamory can improve monogamous relationships as well. I feel it’s just too challenging for some.</p>

<p>Yeah, I need a phone that can run Apple's GarageBand, (easily my most-used app; hundreds and hundreds of hours, and as I use Logic to create music at home and have for 15+ years, I can open up these iPhone-created files at home, establishing a workflow Ableton, for instance,  has completely failed to replicate) - ideally uses iMessage so I can more easily communicate with my romantic partners who both use it; and can run a browser of my choice. I'd also like it to work with my Apple Watch. Any non-iPhone recommendations?</p>

<p>Strange, on my M2 MacBook Pro this still absolutely crawls. I thought it was my personal (intel) MacBook Pro, but it's still extremely slow on my M2. Looks amazing, but definitely requires a massive performance improvement before it's useful. Keep at it! :)<p>edit: chrome btw</p>

<p>I wasn’t attractive or athletic in high school, I spent all my time obsessed with programming, from basically grade 5 onwards; it didn’t make me popular and I not only didn’t fit in but was regularly bullied.<p>It’s turned into a fantastic career and the resilience I gained from being bullied made me a stronger and kinder person growing up.<p>Wouldn’t wish it on anyone, but long term I would say it personally did not harm me.</p>

<p>Couldn’t this application theoretically support MIDI input? I haven’t looked to see if it does, but if it does; velocity is a simple enough feature to implement with even just a simple volume curve.</p>

<p>One of my biggest pet peeves that frustrate me more about Open Source projects is this bizarre tendency not to put screenshots in the main description; especially for projects that are mainly UI/UX-based.<p>I realize there's a demo, but what if I'm on mobile and I'm just curious as to what the project looks like; or what if I just want to see what it looks like before I try it out?<p>Is it a nerd thing, where we're just kind of wrapped up so far in our own projects that we forget such a basic thing? Why does this happen so often? Genuinely asking.</p>

<p>Absolutely bizarre. My experience in Toronto buying an Apple Watch on an extremely busy day was 5-10min in and out and there was no attempt to ‘fit’ me.<p>Told them what they wanted, they went back and got it, they brought a POS so I could pay, I was easily out of there in 10min.<p>Never had any issues like this whatsoever in more than a decade of shopping at these stores?</p>

<p>>> fringe groups want to deprive them of it<p>I’d hardly call extremist right-wing Christians a ‘fringe group’, as much as I think most people wish they were...<p>‘Terrorist group’? Sure. Spot on. ‘Fringe’? Sadly not at all.<p>Look at the ongoing trans genocide as another example as to how big and how powerful these truly hate-filled people are.<p>EDIT: saw a disgusting uneducated dead comment below here saying it’s offensive to call the very real trans genocide a ‘genocide’ to others because I guess they’ve either done no research or are more likely just transphobic.<p>It’s sad to see even in usually amazing communities like this; that the denial of the trans genocide continues.<p>We can’t begin to fix a problem, before we acknowledge the problem exists, and this isn’t a deniable or debatable issue - it’s happening. Let’s not be ignorant hateful cretins by denying it. Please.</p>

<p>I'd like to recommend this - I had to learn SwiftUI recently for my work and I found these courses to be absolutely perfect for learning.<p>I've also found SwiftUI to be a fantastic little language, I think especially for prototyping it would be fantastic.<p>One thing I preferred with these courses to so many similar other courses is that the video is not <i>required</i>. I much prefer to read, I don't like videos in tutorials unless completely necessary - screenshots and text work just fine, and for myself; these exercises just hit the nail on the head. :)</p>

<p>This. Back in the day when we lacked RAM, especially on *nix based systems, it's absolutely normal to use the disk/flash as pseudo-RAM. This was just...a normal part of computing at the time, heh.<p>Of course, applications would respond shit slow this way, but in the case of a DB it'd be more than fine, no?</p>

<p>Hah. Way too misread the room, are they serious?<p>Who even develops Windows-exclusive apps these days, anyway? Even the average user these days seems to find it simply abhorrent.<p>It's so simple to create cross-platform applications these days, there's literally no excuse.<p>I can't imagine the thought process that went behind this beyond greed and profit, a little mind-numbing.</p>
