How does rex's config work? Is it static or programmable ala wezterm.

I wouldn't think much of it. It was a popular design trend for a while there; some just never updated. I don't blame them, it's fairly decent on readability and minimalism.

I have similar prejudices until I was dragged to a Minnesotan winter activity where everyone drives into the middle of a frozen lake and park in a large circle while a bunch of drivers race their cars in circles in the middle. It was surreal.

These incidents will bring back the appeal for dumb appliances, hopefully.

They posted a link here which has illustrator’s commission site.

Some of these keywords are so valuable that I see them all forming a consortium of sorts to share access amongst themselves.

I’ve been experiencing much of the same as well. There seems to be some kind of oversight over keeping previously stabilized affordances intact through each upgrade, at least in the past couple of years. It’s my theory that it’s likely to do with some kind of newly introduced AI steps in their process which doesn’t care so much about small nuanced ui spots like this but check plenty of other boxes.

Another instance in watch os is the total removal of access to the app switcher And quick jump to precious app. It’s been driving me nuts.

It's less about proving a photo's truth than about attesting it.

Good for you! Could you share the name of that particular test here? I'm confident I'm clear but might want to include that test in case I need to in the future.

This seesawing of perspectives on apple’s ai strategy reminds me of that Alan Watts story:

Once upon a time there was a Chinese farmer whose horse ran away. That evening, all of his neighbors came around to commiserate. They said, “We are so sorry to hear your horse has run away. This is most unfortunate.” The farmer said, “Maybe.” The next day the horse came back bringing seven wild horses with it, and in the evening everybody came back and said, “Oh, isn’t that lucky. What a great turn of events. You now have eight horses!” The farmer again said, “Maybe.”

The following day his son tried to break one of the horses, and while riding it, he was thrown and broke his leg. The neighbors then said, “Oh dear, that’s too bad,” and the farmer responded, “Maybe.” The next day the conscription officers came around to conscript people into the army, and they rejected his son because he had a broken leg. Again all the neighbors came around and said, “Isn’t that great!” Again, he said, “Maybe.”

Used to work for that model. Great device for it’s time.

I believe their motivation leans towards tackling advertising based exploitation.

I doubt they’ll go beyond the currently bundled Safari iCloud Private Relay, which I quite appreciate actually.

A saving grace is they're perfect for linux distros.
