  • Easy and simple aren’t the same thing.

    We have the production and we have the resources, the thing we’re lacking is the will to make it happen. The people in South Sudan are so distant from me here in Sweden that they might as well be ants in someone’s back yard. Hell, the ants in someone’s back yard might actually be of more import to said someone.

    The societies we’ve created just simply don’t care, and that’s where the problem lies.


  • No shit. Famine has been a policy decision for decades at this point. We’re past the point of scarcity where anyone would ever need to starve, so starvation in today’s world is a direct result of other people’s decision to have them starve. It’s evil.

    But that’s alright. Those very same people are ensuring that times of scarcity are returning.

    It’s not so much this case in particular, but the idea of it and what it represents. Pluto being a dwarf planet or not is really just an astronomical categorisation, and that’s where the usefulness starts and ends. You won’t go to jail for calling it a planet, even though it doesn’t meet the standards.

    The idea of using legislation on such an irrelevant thing is what rankles me. It’s frivolous and could be harmful. Perhaps not in this particular case, but legislating away expert opinion because it doesn’t fit with your personal narrative is a problem.

    Right now it’s a planet, but this shit happens with peoples lives as well.



  • On iOS and iPad OS you get different keyboards if the app you’re using hasn’t been updated to use Liquid Glass. The keyboards have slightly different layouts because of them having slightly different padding. There’s also a bug with key presses not registering properly.

    I personally also really dislike the multitasking update for iPad. I didn’t need or want windows, which is whatever, but I don’t see why they had to get rid of the old side-by-side two app snapping system and slide-over apps.

    They kept the weird stage manager in addition to the new windowing system. I guess having three different systems is too much, but I bought an iPad to use as a tablet, not a mini laptop.

    Both stage manager and the window system is really cumbersome to use when your only input is touch, unlike the old side-by-side and slide-over app system.

    Since it’s an iPad, touch is the primary input, but it feels like they’re moving to make it a laptop hybrid first, and I personally don’t care for that.

    The massive amounts of added dead/white space in apps is also weird. I guess it can work on iMacs and whatnot with large high resolution displays, but on a regular iPad you just lose screen real-estate.
