This feels like the same logic as "I had to pay off my student loans, so other people should have to suffer like that too." Suffering does not make you better later despite what millennia of Christian theology has told people about its supposed purgative effects. It seems pretty rad to me to be able to just not suffer through the bad part of getting over a major life problem, and I for one am happy that people will be able to skip that part and get on to the part where they live well.

here's a better idea: stop having unilateral rules about menu layout. Different use cases require different layouts and interactions. You could maybe say "don't just default to hamburger menus."

Gotta give the cops their billions unfortunately. No room in the budget for frivolous luxuries like "things that make citizens lives better". Heck, they're even going to hobble our libraries to feed the cop beast.

Of course. But driving a car doesn't need a user-facing OS. It shouldn't feel like using a computer to drive a car. Am I misunderstanding the car operating system they were working on? I thought it was to facilitate UI on touchscreen controls not just low-level systems.

Cars already have an operating system. It's a dash with dials you can look at to get info, a wheel you can use to steer, a set of pedals to control motion, a set of switches and buttons to control lights and such, and a center console with physical buttons that control extras like radio and heat/cooling. Not everything needs to be a computer!

Seems neat but this website is really terrible at explaining what the product is or why I'd want to use it. The homepage looks like a spammy blog landing page? give me a big hero image (ideally an autoplay no-audio video acting like a gif) and like, 10 words and some links to more details. Also no info on pricing?

Looking more and more like a linux desktop distro that (poorly) ripped off most of its ideas from OS X.

This kind of nonsense is a great ad for Apple's hardware.

The extremely very obvious solution for people who want to install whatever they want is to get an android device, and yet people bend over backwards to try to get stuff onto Apple hardware. It's like buying a shirt that famously only comes in blue and trying to figure out how to make it be red.
