Having to pay for hosting an open source product? Isn’t Amazon doing what they should in this case where a company tries to block any competition.

No. Amazon was abusing their enormous market power to squeeze the company that made this software out of the market of hosting it.

(Not to mention lying about "partnering" with them)

If allowed to continue this would kill the project. If only Amazon can monetize it, it doesnt get developed. The open source project then dies.

Amazon is no more doing the right thing here than they were when they destroyed diapers.com with a strategy of sustained predatory pricing.

The fact that they want a pat on the back for being "pro open source" now after pulling this kind of crap is just icing on the cake.

Booking.com has no customer support. They’ll happily fuck you over and not respond to any attempts to contact them.

This is definitely incorrect (has no customer support). Maybe they can choose to fuck you over sometimes, but I have definitely used their customer support as recently as december 2022 (first to call from my destination for some onsite help, then later after the trip to get money back). I wouldn't say they were seamless (that would be if there was no problem at all), but definitely good enough.

Usually you can just get an agreement with the employer to leave sooner. Three months might be enough time to hire someone and have some limited handover, but better than no handover.

Having some kind of device key that will trigger a pop up similar to the SSH host verification on the first connection would be better. No spam every time I connect the phone to charge it and getting a dialog for MITM attempts.

That’s what Ventura does…

Hope they fix the temperature widget as well. Temperatures below zero are common outside Cupertino.

You can use Method Handles now for better performance in a lot of cases

Same as every major release? Accept the xcode bojo and continue?

I don't know man. I used to work on tons of PPC and early Intel Macs that ran OSX (before iPhone and all that). Those were pretty great machines, and the OS basically just was an OS. No shit software preinstalled on top of it.

The first real shit app was iTunes. And ever since then, the OS has just stagnated while they put more software in to sell music, apps, and cloud storage.

There were plenty of bugs. But there were at least a few releases that addressed these. Snow Leopard is probably the most notable which shipped with no new features. I think I first started on Panther and there was at least 1 upgrade during the PowerPC times that really cleaned things up and improved performance quite a bit.

Which is why I speculate that overall, it might not be better. You had to wait a couple years to get the fixes. Now they probably ship the fixes and new features on a more regular basis.

Can you name one Intel Mac release that didn't ship with iTunes?

You're right. I didn't realize that iTunes even pre-dated OSX.

Less wood they need to import as well

X11 without WM was fine on 2.x as well on 8 MB ram. Loading fvwm or whatever I was using ended up with endless swapping.

I think I was using TWM or a very early version of FVWM.
