Apple has neglected the iTunes store for years. Yes, you can still buy tracks, but it's really crappy. 1) The catalog is nowhere near as extensive as Apple Music. 2) It's AAC 256kbps format only. Not lossless.

Apple goes along with the enshitification of everything and wants you to rent your music, not own it.


Was it removing or has it been removed? Seems like a while ago they announced it.

Anyway, no way I was buying a GM car because of that. I don't believe a car manufacturer can create a better software experience than a software company.


There was an article about this issue on techcrunch yesterday, and it linked to a long discussion on Bluesky about whether "clanker" was a slur that should be banned. JC. What a waste of time by some people.


Jews are the indigenous people of Israel. The archaeological records and excavations is clear on that. The leftist and white guilt that ignores that and subverting the definition of Zionism is disgusting.


> Jews are the indigenous people of Israel

Literally doesn't matter. Dead people don't get a vote on where who can live. The people alive today live where they do and will fight to keep from getting displaced. The sooner folks can understand that the sooner we might see peace.


It's you people that's using the terms "colonizers." Of course it matters. Changing definitions willy nilly in the face of evidence is how authoritarianism starts. Very hypocritical of your kind.


> you people that's using the terms "colonizers.”

Who people?


They are not. They were banished centuries BC by their own God per their own scripture. The Palestinian people are the indigenous ones fighting against waves of Eastern Euro trash immigrants fleeing Europe during the 20th century.


The late Harlan Ellison contested this narrative throughout his lifetime: https://youtu.be/P6gtHQGbXmM?t=194

  All of you guys out there in the Middle East are out of the same melting pot. And you're all as crazy as a butterfly on absinthe. I don't know whether you're all Canaanites at the base, or you're all Jews at the base, or out of the Land of Nod, or whatever the hell you were at the get-go, "semites" or whatnot. But you've been fighting it out for something like eight thousand years! And you've never had five minutes of quiet and peace! You're forever killing each other, and sticking knives in each other, and burning babies - and the world has had to suffer with this.

  Great things have come out of the Middle East - great things like the *Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam* - but *stupidity* seems to be your chief export! Stupidity, and violence, are your cash crops. All you.


He was also a pedophile.


Sorry, maybe I'm not using it right in learning a language, but isn't Anki just flashcards?


It's flashcards++: They can have audio attached, for example, and multiple "sides" to the flashcard, but the most ++ part of it is the integrated spaced repetition algorithm(s) that automagically adapt the next time a card is shown based upon its difficulty to improve long-term recall without having to look at all of the cards super often. This is termed spaced repetition.

It's really good. It's still flash cards and best for things where you just have to memorize something (I use it for mandarin characters, for example, for which it's really excellent). But it's great at what it does.


I don't know how any baseball fan can be against this. I would bet that man has made at least one season-ending mistake on every team out there throughout his career, and he's completely unapologetic and arrogant about it. Everyone was relieved when he retired, but there's been plenty of others happy to play the king villain now.


But pitchers should still have to bat. Pinch hitters offend me.


For the National League. Abolish the DH in that National League.


Second American Nations. I take issue with, in parts of it he has an elitist, typical Yankee patronizing tone against the South, but overall it’s well done work. As far as I know, it is the most comprehensive work in highlighting the diversity in culture and history of the US, and why we appear to be so divisive.

If you read news and opinion articles from the early 1900’s you’ll find that many authors are saying the same thing as people say today. In context of American Nations, the answer is “we’ve always been like that.”


> I take issue with, in parts of it he has an elitist, typical Yankee patronizing tone against the South, but overall it’s well done work

I'm not sure why anyone should expect the South to escape criticism for defining itself on racialized chattel slavery; fighting a war largely to preserve that system; having Jim Crow, lynching, etc.; continuing into the modern day to wish to rename things in favor of treasonous Confederates; being literal economic deadweight that benefits from an influx of tax dollars from Blue states (Yankee states, and "Left Coast", in this nations model) via the Federal government, even while voting against "s0cIALism" and constantly denigrating Yankee and Left Coast cities and states.


Renaming things in favor of Confederates is actually being pushed from the guy from NY, to be fair.


> I'm not sure why anyone should expect the South to escape criticism for defining itself on racialized chattel slavery;

North had "racialized chattel slavery" as well.

> having Jim Crow, lynching, etc.;

The rest of the country had lynchings, race riots, discrimination as well.

> continuing into the modern day to wish to rename things in favor of treasonous Confederates;

"Treasonous". They certainly weren't treated like traitors after the civil war ended.

> being literal economic deadweight that benefits from an influx of tax dollars from Blue states (Yankee states, and "Left Coast" )

Can't complain when they weren't allowed to leave...

> even while voting against "s0cIALism" and constantly denigrating Yankee and Left Coast cities and states.

What?


Zionism is the belief that Jews have a right to their indigenous homeland. Your Western leftist ideology have twisted the definition to your own agenda.


The author asks, "So... do you need a telescope?" then politely and politically answers the question.

I, however, looking at the side-by-side comparison, would answer, "hell yes."


I worked at a software company for shipping terminals. One release, we changed the color of a snowflake icon for better colorblind accessibility. The union said it was brand new software and the terminal had to do an emergency shutdown for a week to retrain.

On the same software who's only difference was that it had a different icon color.
